In this episode of The Rich Redmond Show, Rich sits down with renowned drummer Josh Freese to discuss his prolific career.

 

Although this episode was recorded before Josh stepped into the Foo Fighters drum throne for the monumental task of replacing Taylor Hawkins, Josh and Rich cover some valuable ground!

 

 

The conversation delves into Josh's wide-ranging musical influences, from the iconic drumming of Stuart Copeland and John Bonham to his love for bands like Devo and The Replacements. He reflects on career highlights like recording with Michael Bublé and A Perfect Circle, and the spontaneous recording sessions he's had with artists like Paul Westerberg.

 

Rich and Josh also discuss the importance of networking, being a team player, and staying open to all opportunities in the music industry, even if they don't align perfectly with your preferred style. Josh shares insightful advice for aspiring musicians, emphasizing the value of consistent hard work and a positive attitude.

 

Throughout the conversation, Josh's unique fashion sense and his ongoing joke about PF Chang's also come up, providing lighthearted moments that showcase his personality.

 

This episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and career of one of the most in-demand drummers in the music industry today.
