Damn...how could this happen? Nick wrote some excellent songs, it just wouldn't be the same band without him. Sure glad I got to see them in San Francisco last year because that was one hell of a show.

My Way was originally a French song under the title Comme d'habitude. It was the work of Gilles Thibault, Claude François, and Jacques Revaux. Paul Anka was responsible for the original English lyrics. It has since been covered by countless artists including Frank Sinatra.

Was David Grohl in this band? If that's the case, let's celebrate!

What a shame :roll:

Yes, hopefully he'll spend the extra free time on the links instead of in the studio.

GGW is listening to it right now....ggw? I'm pretty sure it's too metal for me. While I love QOTSA, the Killing Joke album was more than I was into....give me some good britpop instead. ;)

Screw you, man! Thirsty's review sucks. He wouldn't know sweet metal if it bit him on the ass, then moshing the sweet Jesus outta his skull. I've looked through his CD collection, and I haven't found one Helmet or Clutch album.

I prefer the finer things in life.... BTW, I had Helmet's Meantime in 10th grade and thought it rocked.

Thanks for the tip, but I didn't see that thread anywhere...still, we're talking about Nick here, screamer supreme. I repeat...that band just won't be the same without him.

PROBOT
Probot
Dave Grohl is a greedy man. It wasn't enough for him to drum for Nirvana, the biggest band of the '90s. Nor is he content to play guitar and sing for his own successful rock group, Foo Fighters. Nope.
Unsatisfied with his portion of life's generosities, Grohl recorded an album's worth of skull-smashing instrumentals in his basement, then mailed them to all the underground metal singers he worshiped as a teenager. His request: Please return with vocals.
Infuriatingly enough, everybody did it: Tom G. Warrior from Celtic Frost. Cronos from Venom. King Diamond from Mercyful Fate. Don't you just want to punch the TV when you see Probot's first video, "Shake Your Blood"? There's Lemmy from Motorhead -- Lemmy! -- pounding a bass and unleashing his wonderfully lycanthropic vocals while Grohl twirls a drumstick and wears a Richie Rich grin. And just to rub salt in our wounds, Grohl has half-naked lesbians -- actually Goth models from the infamous Suicide Girls Web site -- writhing around the stage. Despicable.
The rest of Probot's CD is equally disheartening, because it isn't the disjointed mess that you'd expect from 11 different vocalists.
Oh sure, Kurt Brecht from D.R.I. sounds goofy singing a tree-hugger tune when the other old dogs are shrieking about vampires and stuff. But overall, there's no arguing with Probot. It was a cool idea. It's a cool album. "I can finally die a happy man," Grohl writes in the liner notes.
Whatever, dude: You're probably already bored with it. Did I mention that Grohl is drumming on the next Garbage CD?

I read this review yesterday as well. Did the reviewer like it or not?

I think he likes it a lot, though he wanted not to like it...
