Maybe Dave Grohl Isn't Working On A New PROBOT Record

A few weeks ago, Corey Taylor tweeted that he collaborated on a song with Dave Grohl. We jumped to conclusions and assumed that Grohl might just be working on a new Probot record, his heavy metal side project. But, it turns out that may not be the case. In the above video report, Taylor elaborates on teaming with Grohl (and Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen) and says the project revolves around a soundboard from the legendary Sound City Studios, where albums from Nirvana's Nevermind, Slipknot's Iowa and many others have been recorded. No word on what these collaborations will be used for, but I'm bummed it's most likely not a Probot record.

    Dude, of course there IS word on on what these collaborations will be used for. They say it on the video, and they got it on Blabbermouth:
    "Earlier this month, Grohl opened up about the upcoming film in an issue of Rolling Stone magazine, saying, "When Sound City closed last year, it was a very sad day. That place was like a church. The list of people that recorded there reads like a virtual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame… We recorded 'Nevermind' there back in 1991."

    He continued, "That funky old place had the best drum room in world. The drum sound at the beginning of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' — that's Sound City.

    "I decided to make a film about that feeling you get when you put five guys in a room, hit 'record' and the hair on the back of your neck stands up."

    He added, "Expect some epic jam sessions."

    Artisan News caught up with Taylor earlier in the month at the first-ever Rock & Roll Roast at The Grove in Anaheim, California and asked him about the experience of working with Grohl (see video below).

    "[Dave is] doing a documentary about the legendary board from Sound City that everybody and their mom recorded on — everybody from 'Nevermind' to, actually, [SLIPKNOT's] 'Iowa'," Corey said. "And he's slowly but surely gotten all these people together to make music on that board again. And he called me. He was like, 'Would you like to do a tune?' I was like, 'Are you serious? I'm on a plane right now.' And it's really cool, because it's me, Dave and Rick Nielsen [CHEAP TRICK] on one tune. And I'm like, 'Ahh…. Excuse me?!' It's just a huge check mark on my bucket list, let's put it that way. And I'm really ecstatic. It's a really good tune."

    You guys run a metal news site and don't read Blabbermouth? Damn…
