Foo Fighter Dave Grohl wants to play with Led Zeppelin. Get in line buddy.
Dave Grohl said: “Ah, if I got that call, what the fuck do you think I’d be saying?” Grohl said. “I’d say, ‘Hey [FOO FIGHTERS bandmates] Chris and Taylor, let’s take a little break for a few days, I’ll see ya later!’ But I don’t expect that to happen.”
“Jason [Bonham] should be the one,” he said. “Everyone knows that. He’s a fucking phenomenal drummer.”

Another desparate indie label needs to cash in with Metallica Xmas tribute album
September 27, 2007
Once again, a desparate indie label needs to cash in another tribute. This one is for Metallica. Vitamin Records said:
We’ve taken rock’s biggest and baddest songs and shaped them into Christmas instrumentals that would make Irving Berlin blush. This Christmas, ask for something that’s really gonna rock your bells.
“Better pray that the Sandman comes early this Christmas Eve. If Santa catches you awake, you ain’t gettin’ jack. But if he’s a METALLICA fan, your two front teeth might be handed to instead! METALLICA’s fury can be felt all the way to the North Pole. What better way to ring in the holidays than with these merry versions of their legendary metal anthems?”
“…And Christmas For All! The Holiday Tribute to Metallica” track listing:
01. Nothing Else Matters
02. For Whom the Bell Tolls
03. One
04. The Unforgiven
05. Fade to Black
06. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
07. Wherever I May Roam
08. Master of Puppets
09. Battery
10. The Call of Ktulu
