^Haha that's just about what I thought.
Don't get me wrong, this guy is great an obviously he's achieved what others will only dream of their entire lives but the analog voodoo is sooo tiring.
I'm looking forward to all the promo leading up to the new album though. They had quite a lot of pro-shot live performances (including some garage shows) available for Wasting Light and if the new record lives up to its predecessor it's going to be amazing.

I was interested in the movie. Is it as bad as I got the impression just now?
It's worth watching but the first half is "behind the music" style reminiscing and the second half is him jamming with his friends while recording through the neve he just bought. My takeaways were that LA studios were as dependent on hits as the artists to survive and that Trent Reznor is one of the most talented dudes to come out of that era.
I think the show could be really cool if they let someone else direct/produce it and Dave is just the host. Otherwise it's just going to be a long form recording studio version of the Top Gun volleyball montage.
"ProTools killed the industry." - PT rig sitting in his studio.
"Digital is evil, analog only." - Line6 Studio, Eventide, Lexicon, etc. processors behind him in his studio's rack.
"I recorded in my garage." - "Garage" is outfitted better than most current big production houses.

I saw a video the other day where he said something like "There's no computers here" - iMac right next to him

Dave Grohl is a populist, he'll say whatever people on the whole will agree with.
Unfortunately general consensus is usually unfalteringly inaccurate or misguided and so to anyone knowledgable it always comes across as a combination of rose tinted spectacles and bushy eyed optimism that falters as conjecture when actually questioned.

I totally agree with Line666. Dave Grohl is so "rocknroll-specific hipster" that it hurts.

Grohl doesn't use computers Gad damn it.
Also wasted light was recorded in a garage... on cheap home gear... except it wasn't.

I have a lot of respect for the guy but honestly I believe he couldn't tell if something was recorded on tape or not if he didn't know in advance.

Bass playing guy.
I agree with the populist sentiment. I bet he is fun to hang out with though, he seems genuinely excited about everything all the time (except computers).
