    did he mention them by name?

    I thought most of the performances with the different singers were pretty good with the exception of Kim Gordon who was atrocious. As was the case with McCartney in late 2012, tt's really cool seeing Grohl and Novoselic playing together again in any capacity.

    Yes he did. It's really the first thing Dave talks about.

    You have to love Joan Jett. She is Rock and Roll.

    Dave Grohl discussed the process of finding people to front Nirvana at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in a new interview with Rolling Stone.


    “That was a matter of finding people that we respected and that shared the Nirvana aesthetic,” says Grohl. “Whether that’s musical or otherwise.” The group reached out to a handful of A-list male rock stars, but none wanted to take on the challenge. “Some of them were nervous,” says Grohl. “I think some of them were maybe apprehensive because of how heavy the whole thing is.”


    Grohl revealed that Joan Jett was the first to say yes. “She took it on like it was her calling,” says Grohl. “She got really excited and sent me this flurry of e-mails. She learned every song on Nevermind. She’s everything that Nirvana stood for. She’s a powerful, rebellious, musical force of nature. We couldn’t think of anyone better to join us.”


    After Jett signed on, they reached out to PJ Harvey. “Kurt loved PJ Harvey,” says Grohl. “We had always imagined playing our song ‘Milk It’ from In Utero with her. It’s a twisted song, almost like something that could have been on her record Rid of Me, which was also produced by Steve Albini. It just seemed to pair up so well. Unfortunately, she couldn’t make it.”


    After this, they decided to go with only female singers for the Hall of Fame performance."

    I love the moment when he talks about Chad and sings his drum fill from 'In Bloom' (which is as memorable as
    the intro fill from 'Smells Like Teen Spirit').

    yes. yes she is.

    I bought that first Runaways album in '76. Always had props for Joan. She's big here in Baltimore, she's a fan of our Orioles.

    I think she did a great job on Teen Spirit.

    PJ Harvey would have been great for that. Too bad it didn't work out. Though we might not have gotten Annie Clark if it had, so I'm not gonna complain too much.

    I liked all the women doing the songs. Alice Cooper would have been a good choice for a male participant. Connecting the band to the past.
