It's a good day to be Nick Oliveri. The former Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss bassist is former no more, as he announced he will be involved with both projects in the future. 

Yesterday, Nice Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor agreed to do a Reddit AMA, where readers of the site could ask him anything they wanted and Trent would respond to as many inquiries as possible. There were a lot of great questions asked and Trent did his best to answer them all. Here are some highlights:

Not all of us are thrashing to Slayer out of the womb… it all takes progress. And I love hearing about people's journeys. Coolest motherfucker in music, Dave Grohl is working on a new documentary about the legendary recording studio, Sound City. Part of the film sees many famous musicians discussing their first musical memories. [...]

We've already established that Dave Grohl is the coolest dude in the music business, the dude will even top your beer off from stage. What a guy! He'll even fill in on drums if your drummer just quit. And that's exactly what he will be doing on the new Queens of the Stone Age record.

It's always fun (and slightly depressing) to see these list of XX Richest XXX Stars, usually done by Forbes. Today, a site called CelebrityNetWorth.com (the fact that this site exists is a blog post on it's own) released a list of the 30 richest drummers in the world. Obviously, Ringo Starr came it at number [...]

Dave Grohl, aka the coolest man in rock, is working on a new documentary about Sound City Studios, the legendary LA studio that was home to many classic albums. He recently released a teaser clip, which you can watch above of Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich talking about some of his earliest musical memories. More video [...]

Whether he's giving awesome Grammy speeches, making fresh pots, or stirring the pot, Dave Grohl has proved he is the coolest man in rock and roll. Here is a photo I found on Reddit of Grohl seeing a fan in the front row in need of more beer and helping him from the stage. Only [...]

Ok, I think we needed a little something to lighten the mood, and this photo fits the bill. We all know Dave Grohl is the coolest motherfucker around, whether he's going in the pit for Soundgarden, giving impassioned Grammy speeches, fucking with the Westboro Baptist Church or demanding fresh pots, he is the most down [...]

What a busy week in heavy metal this has between. Between all the new music this week, the crazy Black Sabbath news, and all the awesome new music videos, I barely had time to collect myself before creating this recap. Here's a look back at some of this week's biggest stories and videos: Dave Grohl [...]

Look, Foo Fighters is not really a metal band, but time and time again, Dave Grohl continues to do really awesome fucking things, and say awesome things, that I can't help but write about him. The latest awesome thing was his now infamous speech at the Grammys this past Sunday, where he talking about learning [...]

We assumed that Dave Grohl was working on a new Probot record when news of him and Corey Taylor collaborating came out. But it turns out, that's not the case. Rather, he's part of a documentary about the legendary Sound City Studios where bands like Nirvana, Slipknot and other very famous artists recorded. A teaser trailer for [...]

Well this sounds awesome. Deadline reports that cable network FX is developing a pilot executive produced by Dave Grohl and comedian Dana Gould (who also created and is writing the project). The show will focus on "a rock band on the verge of mega-stardom who finds itself on the verge of breaking up and is [...]

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 [...]

HUGE checks off the Bucket List today- did a song with Dave Grohl and Butch Vig. Do the words 'holy shit' say enough about it?!? — Corey fuckin' Taylor (@CoreyTaylorRock) January 18, 2012 I really enjoyed Dave Grohl's metal record, Probot, featuring a ton of awesome collaborations with A-list metal musicians like Lemmy and Max [...]

We know Mastodon has been writing an album for some time now and that Dave Grohl is not going to be on the record. Today we learned a few more tidbits, like the producer and two song titles from the album.
