Mullin died at the age of 53 in January 2020<\/a>. Singer-guitarist Pepper Keenan has now revealed in a new interview that in the lead up to the drummer\u2019s death, the Foo Fighters<\/a> frontman tried to help Mullin.<\/p>\n

When asked whether he knew Corrosion Of Conformity\u2019s 2018 album \u2018No Cross No Crown\u2019 would be their last with the late sticksman, he told Suicide Silence guitarist Chris Garza\u2019s podcast: \u201cWell, his health was not well. And we tried everything. [We] didn\u2019t know. He just couldn\u2019t get it together, man. And Dave Grohl offered help \u2013 Dave Grohl had helped him with rehab, paid for it out of his own pocket, which was very kind. [I\u2019ll] never forget that. And, yeah, I didn\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt\u2019s a hard thing to get a grip on things like that if you\u2019re not in it. It\u2019s hard to say\u2026 I do think if he\u2019d had gotten through all this stuff and could\u2019ve cleaned everything up, and sometimes it takes that. And then if he was here right now, I think the band would be tearing shit up. I think he would come full circle and he would\u2019ve been one of the people not scared to go backwards either, get back into it. But who knows? You can\u2019t go there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Grohl and Mullin previously collaborated in the supergroup Teenage Time Killers<\/a> in 2014 with Slipknot<\/a>\u2018s Corey Taylor<\/a>, ex-Queen\u2019s Of The Stone Age<\/a> bassist Nick Oliveri, Lamb Of God\u2019s Randy Blythe and former Dead Kennedys<\/a> frontman Jello Biafra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their debut album, titled \u2018Teenage Time Killers: Greatest Hits Vol. 1\u2019 was recorded at Grohl\u2019s Studio 606 and was released on July 28, 2015.<\/p>\n

Keenan added: \u201cNow me and [C.O.C. guitarist] Woody [Weatherman] look back at things and we have nothing but wonderful stories about Reed. \u2018Cause when he was at the top of his game, he was a fucking animal on the drums. You couldn\u2019t touch him in terms of creativity and moving that type of music forward. He\u2019s one of the OGs of the crossover shit back in the day, so he truly had helped invent something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Grohl recently revealed the album that he considered<\/a> Pixies<\/a>\u2019 1988 debut album \u2018Surfer Rosa\u2019 to be the \u201cperfect record\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking to NME backstage at Madrid\u2019s Mad Cool festival<\/a>, ahead of their set on the main stage, Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago and drummer David Lovering were informed of the frontman\u2019s praise. Asked if Grohl was right, Santiago immediately replied: \u201cI have to agree.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a laugh, Lovering concurred: \u201cI agree. It\u2019s my favourite one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foo Fighters\u00a0kicked off their US tour with Queens Of The Stone Age at Rogers Stadium in Toronto last night (August 4).<\/p>\n

NME caught their first gig in Liverpool in the UK and gave it a glowing four-star review<\/a>, which read: \u201cThat laid-back rock club vibe is what makes this work. Foos don\u2019t have the bells, whistles, pyro, or blockbuster special effects of other standard stadium acts, just tunes and banter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019d have thought that \u2018This Is A Call\u2019, \u2018For All the Cows\u2019 and \u2018Big Me\u2019 \u2013 written for their 1995 debut and for sweaty little rooms \u2013 would land like Queen<\/a> classics on this pitch?\u201d it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dave Grohl once paid for Corrosion Of Conformity drummer Reed Mullin\u2019s rehab before his death.
