Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins calls Dave Grohl a "creative God"

Taylor Hawkins is back in the studio with the Foo Fighters, and has recently given an update and new Foo music as he works with “creative God” Dave Grohl.

Loudwire recently spoke with Hawkins to syphon out an update on the new Foo album, where he reflected on Dave Grohl’s talent, calling him a “creative God”.

“We’re in such the fetal stages at this point, it’s hard to say what the direction of that thing would be, but we’re definitely chugging along and Dave [Grohl]’s certainly got a lot of fucking ideas, that’s all I can say,” reveals the drummer about the new album.

Hawkins had high praise for Grohl, adding, “The guy is a fucking creative god. He really is. He never stops, and he’s just got such conviction and faith in whatever he is working on. There’s never any second-guessing with Dave, and I really respect that about him. I’ve learned so much from that fucker, and I just continue to.”

Recently Grohl himself came out to hint towards new Foo Fighters music.

“It’s such a great record. It’s so weird because I never know what I’m going to do,” said Grohl. “I just show up at Taylor’s house where he recorded most of this stuff. Taylor will just ask if I’ll do a guitar track, and he’ll hand me a guitar and I’ll just do something and then he makes the track great.”

He continued, “It’s so fun recording with Taylor that way because I’m used to recording with him behind the drum set, so when I do a record with Taylor, he just tells me what to do. I just sit there and say, ‘What do you want? What do you need?'”
