Ah, Dave Grohl. Never misses an opportunity to enhance his carefully crafted persona of having "cred" amid all his millions and major label dalliances.
"A microphone and a tape machine." You can bet your ass he wasn't talking about an SM58 knockoff into a Fostex.

Well . . .
at least he didn't gargle incomprehensable off-key kinderhymes while dry-humping a fake priest.
What the hell was that about? Gaga-envy?

No idea what you're talking about, but SteveB is the resident expert on all things Gaga.
Grohl is infinitely better than Jeff Lynne, I'll give him that.
Ha... alas, too true. Mostly though I just like to troll the fine folks at TGP.
I think Badger was talking about Nicki Minaj's "performance".

I was glad to see them beat out Mumford and Sons and Coldplay for rock. I wouldn't classify those two as rock but whatever. I would have liked to have seen Megadeth or Mastodon take one home though.

Seriously. I mean, the "garage" he recorded his album in is nicer than my house! /emoticons/default_laugh.png

Sorry, my response didn't make any sense - one of those days! I was indeed referencing the Nicki Minoj demonic possession publicty stunt near the end of the festivities.
I had no problem with her blatantly blasphemous "in your face" to the half dozen openly Christian attendees (after all, I'm a big Alice Cooper fan), but it was a near perfect counterpoint to Dave Grohl's statement about music coming from the mind and heart of the performer. Minoj managed to "sing" off key consistantly and any part of the performance that could be catagorized as a song was completely buried by staging, correography, video clips, and other non-musical elements.
It was laughably obvious that she was attempting to "one-up" GaGa and position herself as a "shocking" performance artist. Too bad she can't sing.

Nicki is working with Laurieann Gibson, former Creative Director and Choreographer for Gaga who Gaga "parted ways with" earlier this year for "creative differences," which were brewing all year. I think Gibson was trying to prove she was the creative force behind Gaga, but Nicki's performance came across as an in-cohesive mess, and Nicki herself doesn't have the performance or singing/rapping talent to back it up. Some people claim Nicki is a great rapper, but I just don't see it, and the way she uses her voice annoys me.
