Little by little, the Drumpocalypse is being mitigated. Following Josh Freese’s firing in Might, Foo Fighters can be changing him with drummer Ilan Rubin, and Freese will return the favor by filling in for him on 9 Inch Nails’ tour.
It’s unclear whether or not Rubin — who’s been a touring member for 9 Inch Nails since 2009 — can be everlasting or simply for Foo Fighters’ forthcoming gigs that begin in October. Freese was a everlasting drummer for 9 Inch Nails from 2005 to 2008, and has carried out with Weezer, Elegant With Rome, Sting, and extra. In keeping with The Hollywood Reporter he advised Trent Reznor he’d “accepted a job with one other band” final week.
In his authentic assertion about his firing, Freese wrote:
The Foo Fighters referred to as me Monday evening to let me know they’ve determined “to go in a special route with their drummer.” purpose was given. 🙁 Regardless, I loved the previous two years with them, each on and off stage, and I assist no matter they really feel is greatest for the band. In my 40 years of drumming professionally, I’ve by no means been let go from a band, so whereas I’m not angry-just a bit shocked and disillusioned. However as most of you realize I’ve at all times labored freelance and bounced between bands so, I’m wonderful. Keep tuned for my “High 10 attainable causes Josh bought booted from the Foo Fighters” checklist.
9 Inch Nails just lately accomplished the European leg of their tour, and subsequent week they’ll be in North America. Earlier this month they launched the music “As Alive As You Want Me To Be.”
That is the most important change-up in musical stools since Slipknot, Suicidal Tendencies, and Sepultura all traded drummers final yr.
