“In terms of writing data and making music, we take that very severely,” Grohl instructed The Publish concerning the band’s longevity. “In terms of getting onstage and being a stay band, we take that very severely — we need to be one of the best f–king stay band you have got ever seen in your life. We play these two-, three-hour exhibits, give 150% each night time.”
Fellow legends like Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons took to Twitter to answer rock music’s loss.
