Foo Fighters Reveal New Drummer

[AzScorpion]

I saw them at an outdoor venue back in 2001 and they were one of the best bands I've seen in concert. I'm glad to see them move on from the tragic death of Taylor Hawkins and start touring again. David Grohl is also one of the best drummers out there and I thought at one time he might replace Hawkins but this was an excellent choice with Josh Freese. I'm looking forward to hearing the live again and hopefully some new music in the near future.

Josh Freese is a veteran session ace who has performed with Guns N’ Roses, A Perfect Circle, Puddle of Mudd, Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Paramore, the Replacements, Sting and the Vandals — and those are just the rock acts he’s worked with. Over the years he has played with a mind-boggling array of different musicians on more than 300 recordings, from pop to rock to country: His versatility is demonstrated by the fact that at last year’s Coachella festival, he performed with both Danny Elfman, who is both frontman of new wave vets Oingo Boingo and Tim Burton’s favorite film composer, and hyper-pop wizards 100 Gecs — two dramatically different artists that required widely ranging styles, and he delivered with both.

But not only is Freese a deeply experienced and wide-ranging musician who knows the band and its music, his presence solves many of the challenges that anyone stepping into Hawkins’ role might face: He is renowned as one of the top session drummers in the business so he’s well-known to musicians, and the fact that he’s less familiar to the public is actually a plus, so there wouldn’t be any associations from previous bands (even though he’s played with dozens). As his long resume shows, he can play in virtually any style — and at 50, he’s of the same generation as most of the other bandmembers.

COPPA. kids try to watch adult content or theme videos without logging in and with the current situation safest to age rate your videos If there is any doubt and avoid huge fines from the fcc should someone under 14 see it and the parents report it. Prevents kids from seeing adds that are illegal to hit them with.

It's actually to protect YouTube from any more fines from the FCC. Google paid millions for presenting adds to kids not logged into their account. They have passed the responsibility to us creators to designate the content as for kids, not for kids, or adult for anything that contains sex, drugs, foul language, or any other kind of adult content. Then proper sdds can be run against the videos or no adds at all. I had some videos flagged as kid attractant because they showed my dogs and now each video must be classified before posting so the creator is liable for content. It's like $10,000.00 plus $100,000.00 administration fee per video fine you can be hit with for the wrong classification.

As much garbage as I see on YouTube that is NOT age restricted I find it hard to believe that anybody at YouTube or the FCC really gives a damn.

I thought the same until one day I tried to save a car video and it wouldn't let me. Said it was age restricted which was crazy because I was only trying to save it to a Youtube folder on their site. It's like most things today because of the few the many have to suffer. Yes I said that politely but you know what I meant.

I had my videos banned in Germany because of my gardening videos showing people how to grow food and be self sufficient that someone complained about in Germany. It demonitized my channel. Had to file a complaint with the youtube legal department to finally get that removed and monetization restored. I can't understand why someone didn't want others to learn to grow food. Every year it gets crazier.
