Hawkins on Grohl

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has described Dave Grohl as a 'nicest control freak', saying the two drummers' different ideas help their songwriting.

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has responded to talk that Dave Grohl is a bit overbearing by saying that he is the "nicest control freak you ever meet in your life".

Speaking to NME, Hawkins added: "He tells me what to do but we work off each other as well. He's a drummer first and foremost. He's become a great singer and songwriter but he's a drummer first. When we're working together on music, not only do you have one drummer's ideas but you have two of them coming from totally different places".
