The Nicest Man in Rock

February 20, 2008 by piereth

Here we take a moment to salute Mr G, the nicest man in rock… a great dad as well as being an A-list drummer and a musical polymath. Schaaaa-WING! And he’s a babe.

I love DG! Have you ever heard the Teri Gross Fresh Air interview with him?? It made me love him even more. Especially since he just seems happy and had good things to say about Kurt Cobain and his time in Nirvana…

Plus - some of their videos are hilarious! I liked the Learn to Fly one where he’s dressed as a woman.

Mamatried, is there a link to that interview? I’d love to hear it!

Jen - I love the one for The Pretender, fantastic. And I forget which single it is where they dress up as soap opera doctors and DG has this hilarious handlebar moustache…. evil!

Mamatried, what a guy. He’s a complete star. I loved the story about the Beaconsfield Miners, and the one about the drum centre being closed… and about Violet only dancing to good songs on the radio. And how did he learn to play the piano like that in such a short time! Polymath ideed.
