Foreigner, the masters of “Cold as Ice” and “Juke Box Hero,” are still not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It’s like trying to explain why we need air to breathe. But fear not, because Dave Grohl and I are on the same wavelength here.
In a recent video dropped by producer Mark Ronson, Dave Grohl, our beloved Foo Fighters frontman, expressed his undying love for Foreigner. He reminisced about how their debut record stole his heart and how he shamelessly borrowed a drum riff or two for his own hits.
And it’s not just Dave. The video is a star-studded affair, featuring Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, the legendary Slash, the groovy Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the ever-energetic Jack Black.
Josh Homme, in his typical witty style, chimes in, “You want to know what love is? Love is putting Foreigner in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”
Mark Ronson, the man behind the curtain, is not just any fan. He’s Mick Jones’ stepson. Talk about keeping it in the family! Ronson’s passion for Foreigner runs deep, just like the rest of us gathered here.
