Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl recently played with The Bird and the Bee on the Late Late Show with James Corden as part of The Bird and the Bee’s Van Halen covers album ‘Interpreting the Masters Volume 2: A Tribute to Van Halen’ tour and album, and backstage a funny photo surfaced of him sarcastically looking angry drinking. Grohl was recently spotted with a famous big name teen singer.
Grohl also played with The Bird and the Bee at their Van Halen tribute show in Los Angeles on Friday at the John Anson Ford theater. The Bird and the Bee’s Greg Kurstin and Inara George discussed the project with Variety. Kurstin produced Foo Fighters’ 2017 album ‘Concrete and Gold.’
Lyrically and vocally, some Van Halen songs can be done very sincerely because they have some real emotion built in, and there are others where maybe there’s a little bit of ironic distance in having them in this setting. “Jamie’s Cryin’” is in the former category — it always demanded a quieter version.
George: What I think you realize is that David Lee Roth really loves women. When you start to really delve into the music, yes, it has a macho feel to it, but it’s there’s also a great love and passion for females. So when you hear a song like “Jamie’s Cryin’,” it’s really getting into that thing of a dilemma that a female can go through so much of the time, of wanting something more, and it’s not going to be anything but just that one night stand. You hear a song so many times, but then when you actually have to sing it, you’re like, wow, there’s a lot more going on than I had initially interpreted just by listening to David Lee Roth do it.
