According to The Pulse Of Radio, FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins both appeared on the series "Rock & Roll Road Trip With Sammy Hagar", where host Sammy Hagar asked them if they prefer recording in analog or digital — although he said he already knew the answer. Grohl answered: "I love the analog because Taylor does too."

"Digital recording, you have the option to make things perfect and you can manipulate them and sometimes you just suck the human element out of it.
