(applause) you have a dog and they give you a leash with the extra leash wound up inside in case the dog pulls it, you hit the button, let the line out like he's a marlin. (laughter) nobody wants to do anything but lie in bed. anything -- if you're not in bed it's work. (laughter) even death people want to be in bed. i always read "he died in his deathbed." i always read that in the paper. why would you even buy a bed hike that? (laughter) how are you going to start

(laughter and applause) >> dave: well, if you'd be here more often than every year we could hammer these things out. >> has anyone heard of this little show that i'm doing? (cheers and applause) >> dave: i saw one today. it was you and michael richards and you're driving a v.w. bus pickup that i had never seen before and i was fascinated by that. >> dave: do you think you could do it? >> do what? >> dave: could you pull it off. do you have the -- >> dave: pull what off? >> all you have to do is have coffee. that's all you've got to do to be on this show. see, i looked at your show and i thought, well, what about that show do i like? (laughter) >> dave: how much of this do i have to take? (laughter) >> you like it when somebody comes on that you like. >> sure. >> dave: so i decided why don't i do a show where i only do it where it's somebody i like. (laughter)
12:12 am
so that's why i don't do that many of them. i could never do your job. i don't have your -- >> dave: now wait a minute, right in the middle of all of this was a horrible thing to have said. (laughter) >> what? what'd i say? >> dave: you said you only want to have people on you like. >> right. >> dave: so that's why i'm not on! my god! (applause) >> would you like to be on? >> dave: here's the problem. i would love to be on. i'm sorry i wasn't on in the first run when you got your real good a-buddy friends on there. >> yeah. but now that it's a huge success i'm looking forward to it. my problem is, as i get older i have lessess and l to say that.

12:15 am

♪ ♪ >> dave: ladies and gentlemen, in addition to being the a founding member of one of the great rock 'n' roll bands, foo fighters, our next guest is also the director of a woond wonderful documentary entitled "sound city." the film is playing in selected cities and at online www.soundcitymovie.com. ladies and gentlemen, here's our good friend dave grohl.
12:23 am
dave? (cheers and applause) good to see you, dave. >> hi, dave. >> dave: thank you very much for being on the show. now you know-- if you don't know i'll tell you-- that i have a lot of respect for you and your career and your music and your buddies who come on generously and play for us many, many times. fantastic. >> thank you. >> dave: then i saw the "sound city" film and you're not a film director, you're not a writer, a producer, an actor, you're a musician and i saw the sound city film and i just loved it. >> thank you. >> i was just crazy for it. (applause) >> dave: i heard of sound city but didn't really know much more than it was like i guess a music -- a record company -- not a company but a studio. >> a recording studio. >> dave: and i was moved to los angeles in the -- 1975 so i
12:24 am
would have been there. tell people everything they need to know about you, sound city and the music. >> well sound city was a recording studio in van nuys, california, in the valley. they opened in the late' 60s and it wasn't until the early '70s that bigger artists started recording there. neil young went there and did at after the gold rush" and fleetwood mac made their record with stevie and lindsay there. it was actually where mick need wood joined fleetwood mack. and i went there in 1991 with nirvana. (applause) thank you, we booked into that studio because it was cheap. it was $600 a day and they had sort of kind of passed their prime, their heyday. in '73 they were state-of-the-art it was brown shag carpet on the walls, it was cool. by 1991 it was -- so we walked
12:25 am
in, it was a dump. it looked like a burned out chi-chi's. (laughter) it was a terrible place. but if you put the drums in this space in a spot in the big room and hit "record" it sounded like -- you know, you would just get this huge sound and so the 16 days we were there changed my life forever. so i stayed friends with the people that owned the studio and inevitably about two years ago they closed because bigger studios like that can't really compete with newer technology. the accessibility of digital recording stuff, you can make a record in your living room. you don't need those big places anymore. but i think those big places are like museums because generations of kids have changed. the world has changed from the music that was made in these places. to me music history is just as
12:26 am
important as the president and politics. (applause) >> dave: well, i think you're right. one of the great things about the movie is there's many facets to this story and the one is that digital music makes a huge inroad into music culture and it kind of kicks the legs out from under sound city which was analog. so i can remember and probably everybody's got there story, when i got my first c.d. player and you put the c.d. in and everybody would listen to it and they said "it's so quiet, you can't hear it." that doesn't mean it's better, does it? >> it's funny. in the movie we talk about technology, it has a lot to do with why sound city isn't around anymore. when i was a kid i would have killed to have that accessibility or opportunity to make records -- now you can make a record in your living room and with the click of a bus on the you can send it out to the world. does that mean there's a lot of great music coming out? that there's more great music? not really.
12:27 am
(laughter) but it's available to you so if you're passionate about what you do, what we talk about is the human element of music. when two people get together -- >> dave: making music with another person. >> with another person and it's the imperfection that gives you personality. >> dave: and how that dynamic is different when you're making it by yourself because you're interacting with another living breathing being. but you also talk about how mr. nine inch nails, what's his name? >> trent rez or in. >> dave: trent reznor. he uses that tool and makes music the way it was made at sound city. >> he's a brilliant dude. he's a classically trained musician but he also recognizes technology as an instrument that you can't do with other instruments. he can't do, which i think is one of the things that -- one of the things that's made music a little less exciting is you listen to a singer and it doesn't really sound like a human being, it's been flat
12:28 am
lined by some auto tune program or a drumer that doesn't sound like a drummer because it's been grided by a computer. when you listen to my favorite drummers they were insane, they would never get accepted into the berklee school of music because they played like they were on acid, you know? (laughter) and that's what inspired me to play music. >> dave: i want to articulate why music fans and others should gol see this film. it's got everything. it's a wonderful story, great music and we'll hear some great music with you and others and stevie nicks. ladies and gentlemen, the great dave grohl. (cheers and applause) we'll be back with the sound city players and stevie nicks. (cheers and applause)
