[@HouseofWrench]

Listening to his honesty is such a breath of fresh air.

[@Nillominati]

Josh is the Swiss Knife of the drum world. Such a badass dude but down to earth all at the same time! God bless you, Josh.

[@brewhan3108]

I LOVE Josh Freese's drums in APC. Happy for FF. He's a badass.

[@cyanhobbit]

so great to see someone at this level being so humble and honest. awesome video, can't wait for the others to drop

[@shorty6136]

Humble. Yet one of the greatest and most requested drummers of all time. I think Foo Fighters will keep him busy! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Worthy!!!

[@XoXo475]

Watching him drum at the live Foos concert that streamed yesterday I was totally blown away . What a great fit with the band WOW

[@josephguillermo3007]

Josh Freese is one of my drumming idols. So humble, but a freaking machine behind the kit. Love him.

[@GregCarlet]

Man, Josh has been one of my favorites and one of my biggest influences for the past 20 years. Great interview!

[@sebastianhope1107]

This man is one of the greatest drummers out there today, period. If you can rock out with NIN and A Perfect Circle, and then go touring with Sting, to then go smash it with The Offspring, you know you're badass. Go check some of the records he's been in and you'll know what I mean.

[@pokerstar2004]

I saw him play with The Replacements and he was / is an absolute monster. Just amazing.

[@ziggysanderson]

A perfect circle... He is mad good!

[@robin3]

..and now he's DG's drummer. legend!

[@TC-lk2ev]

God I wish he'd join a perfect circle again. His drumming with them was so damn good. Such weird but awesome fills.

[@MegaSeth301]

It's a shame. He was asked to comment on how it ended and he choose to pass. He told the whole story about leaving NIN but wouldn't comment on the ending with PC. That was telling.

[@TC-lk2ev]

@@MegaSeth301 Maybe he heard the demos for Eat the elephant and was like 'fuck this, I'm out'

[@Assimilator702]

@MegaSeth301 Watch part 2 if thus video. Josh states EXACTLY why he doesn't work with A Perfect Circle. It's no different than the reason why he doesn't work with NIN.

[@JohnDoe-cu2hl]

He’s a fucking Foo Fighter

[@jsauce311]

yeah his work on 13th step is some of my favorite of all time

[@howrightiam]

Came here after the foos announced he was the new drummer. I'm a drummer and cant say I'd heard of him although I love every band hes played in. Lol wanted to learn more about him, not disappointed at all, seems like a great dude and will carry the torch going forward. Really excited

[@mikeweiser2210]

Watch him in the video Judas from A Perfect Circle. Such an awesome drum track and song overall

[@Qliphirot]

Amazing drummer, love his work.

[@jeffjohnson2624]

Such an original and unique drummer. Love hearing from him!

[@danieldeltoro85]

Can’t wait for the next 2 videos Josh is one of my favorite drummers

[@ryantrimble881]

How can you not love josh

[@daveylong3089]

Such a great drummer. Great to hear him talk. Thanks

[@2545poc]

I ❤️this guy & will always ❤️ him for telling it like it is!!

[@danoneill130]

Speaking SO MUCH truth!!

[@michaelyoungstrom9412]

Such an honest, humble, talented, and down to Earth guy.

[@justinreynolds3935]

His playing on mer de noms a perfect circle was awesome. Very very "Josh". He also knows everyone is the entertainment biz. Everyone!!! Because he knows how to be cool and a decent dude. That's how you get gigs. Be a good person. His playing goes without saying

[@lerrynhawke3375]

One of the best music interviews of all time!!

[@traviswoodall6547]

In other words, it’s still work. “Playing” an instrument is work, not always fun, rarely glamorous and necessary to make a living. This guy is one of the best drummers in the world and, just like all of us, doesn’t love going to work every day. Love the honesty in this interview.

[@Madtwins]

Josh is the best! Even you are artist of different kind of art you can learn a lot of useful things from Josh!

[@joeyandrews5970]

What a down to earth guy. Great advice from a great player.

[@barbamatteo]

Josh is THE drummer. Punto. Josh is the most versatile drummer on earth.

[@alanmccartney3159]

Top advice from a Top man - Legend!!!!

[@trentflynn6568]

Excellent all around. Thank you for the video 🥁❤️🎼👍🏼

[@JayObrowski]

I love his work with A Perfect Circle and now his collabo with Danny Elfman. Phenomenal drummer, one of the greats.

[@jambrae]

Great drummer. Very versatile and musical in his playing. And that, ladies and gentlemen, being musical is a large part of what it’s all about. All of my favourites have that in their playing.

[@frankiebats4thebronx]

Josh you are the man, great sense of thought, so cool. God bless you brother. Love your style 6:50

[@synthhero1347]

Absolutely love his work ethic , always be nice , smile, never complain it's always buisness never personal

[@RussellKasem]

I think Josh is going to find playing with the Foo Fighters a breath of fresh air.

[@peggywallace9630]

When he plays, it draws your full attention.

[@Joshfreeseofficial]

Hello, I really appreciate the love and support I get from you all my lovely fans ❤️

[@krashboombang]

Outstanding!

[@LudvikM]

Telling it like it is. Quite refreshing.

[@CharlesTPrimm]

First time I saw Josh play was with Paul Westerberg at the Rock Candy in Seattle, July, 1993. He was amazing!

[@renoroger1]

What an amazing and timely perspective from a TOP player! This series should get someone at Paiste a raise!… (Maybe I’m a little biased, I’m Paiste since 1974…) Cheers!

[@gaijinhakase1575]

Amazing drummer! He doesn’t get enough credit for his work on Young & Hopeless and Fallen

[@perrap79]

Good fit for the Foos! Big shoes to fill, but I’m happy they kept going!

[@kevinkibbe2679]

I first heard his work with The Vandals and I have followed his drumming ever since. He’s one of my absolute favorites! I encourage people to see The Vandals House of Blues live show with the drum cam….you’ll see the up close awesomeness of this man!

[@SlymeCookies88]

Who brought Josh Freese tonight, we did, thank you! 😂

[@pricila6511]

I got to meet Joe Escalante of The Vandals at the warped tour in 2004.. The Vandals are legendary and Joe is so down to earth.

[@Midgard95Band]

Great human🙏

[@Jennifer-xw8tc]

I really love your way to play !!! ❤👌🏼

[@kosonamsuk6116]

precious lessons. much appreciated :)

[@ML-nj4qi]

The Man, The Myth, The Legend...Josh Freese!

[@goodafternoongoodeveningan5773]

He divides his time between HHM And playing “Josh” . Howard Hamlin played on a perfect circle and static x and sting and the vandals. Great drummer!!

[@eddieavakian]

That was such an raw and honest interview. Took me by surprise a little. 😅.

[@linettemendoza5321]

Love him!

[@jcehlert]

I completely agree with his assessment of early vs. late career. When you're young and just starting out in your career, you do anything comes your way. Don't be concerned; your experiences will teach you and help you develop a reputation or resume. I'm aware that my initial yes turned out to be a favored later yes. You will succeed if you remain modest.

[@Pizzasalladland]

Love Josh!

[@ianmac3469]

Josh Freese, the miracle boy!

[@marcelorockstore62]

Legend

[@JoelStevenett]

Amen!!! 19 coffee’s… YES! ☕️🤘

[@FredMinville]

Good advice that applies to all trades in life

[@ahchv]

Awesome video

[@maxczapski2239]

Legend.

[@davidmatthews1710]

Cool dude!

[@bradsullivan2298]

Josh is a real pro!

[@drumpetbass]

I used to think I liked Wes Borland's Black Light Burns. But then I realized I only liked the first album. And the first album is the only one Freese played on. And wow- I really liked Sons of the Sea and didn't realize that was him too. I like everything he touches.

[@nicolasbrunelle2189]

The first is the only one good because all the band and producers are all ex NIN members 🤷‍♂️

[@Boston84]

Now he’s the foo fighters new drummer. Great guy

[@marciocvalente]

What a human and genuine guy ! I love the Foo´s and didn´t know Josh before, now I see he´s the perfect guy ! Oh, and I´m a drummer and love Paiste Cymbals as well, shame they are really expensive here in Brazil.

[@richboshart1201]

They’re really expensive everywhere.

[@mikeferris408]

Who has he not played with.. wow! A perfect circle my personal all time favorite! His drumming make a perfect circle a perfect circle! It wouldnt be anywhere near as great as it is without him believe that! Him and Maynard is a perfect match.. along with the other originals. Billy, the dude from the smashing pumkins.. lol yes i know his name n the bass player... male 1 n the female 1 is great.. paz.. Josh is the best all around drummer! He can do it all n exstreamly well i might add.

[@raddastronaut]

I ❤ the Vandals!!

[@leviathon18]

happy for josh freese and come to think of it brooks wackerman in avenged sevenfold too they were always involved in super cool solo and side band projects i liked over many years good to see they now fulltime in those top level bands.

[@budwudd]

Even though he's a sort of a chameleon and has played a plethora of stuff, he's actually one of the few today who has a real personality to his playing. You can almost always tell that it is Josh Freese playing no matter what artist or recording it might be.

[@SvenTSchixe]

Just great career advice!

[@TheMetalFreshTiger]

And here we are 10 months after this video 💥

[@TheCrumbleOne]

Anyone asks "what does Paiste sound like" I say listen to the 'boom-paaassshhh' intro in Pet - A Perfect Circle

[@peteabdou]

Wise words.

[@ryrodrums6727]

You gotta love the brutal honesty. Talk about getting paid- Foo Fighters probably pays pretty well😄

[@davjod]

Gotta love JF!

[@philwoods6008]

New Foo Fighters drummer! Perfect fit!

[@UncleBlasto]

The way he matched his shirt with his hair and eyes is bananas

[@cvblaylock]

Welcome to the Foos!!

[@mysticalgerald]

My dude!

[@bufordteejustice1119]

Congratulations on the Foo fighters gig.

[@666Lustmord]

Very sympathic and honest. Now he is drumming with Foo Fighters, not bad.

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

This man wasn't necessarily shovelin poo before he got the big deals, he knew what he was doing. Now he's got the MOST important job in the WORLD, no FOOlin around!😎😄🔥

[@mehdib78]

My favorite drummer……

[@theofficialdrumcovers]

unique

[@CosminPerisan]

Josh Freese recorded drums for Evanescence's Fallen album🤟

[@johnb.3476]

Cool guy

[@TheSDRS]

Congrats to Josh on the Foo Fighters gig.

[@rickard9294]

I have always liked Josh Freese' drumming and now hearing him actually being punk in his way of speaking and what he tells, without outing someone, makes me really like him a bit more.

[@Deathsex22]

His hair color really works with that shirt.

[@jessedax7333]

He seems like a good sensible guy. I like him. Let's see how it goes.

[@matthewpaluch777]

😎👍💗🇨🇭🔥🎼🔊)) PAISTE!!!

[@mermerserkan]

When will come part2 and 3?

[@skatertrev7]

How long till part 2 and 3? This is great

[@PaisteChannel]

Next will follow within the next 10 days

[@andresaguilar327]

I wanna be him so hard! Love his approach of everything! Great humble Guy. And a great dad and husband as well. God bless his heart!

[@seanriggen]

👍🏻

[@shawnriley5666]

Josh is the man. Hoping he is the Foo's tour drummer. big question...can anyone find this shirt? I want that shirt ha ha. Any detective work would be appreciated.

[@marcoreactionary]

“JOSH FREESE!”

[@jamescassidy4045]

All I want to know Josh, is where did you buy that shirt!

[@jamesshahdin3392]

Hey what is the song at the very start of this video?

[@bufordteejustice1119]

He played on some great Suicidal Tendencies record

[@mountainhobbit1971]

now add the Foo Fighters to his long list of bands he has played with. ;-)

[@longhorn2615]

Fresh Pots Josh!

[@dandee2885]

Welcome to Foo Fighters

[@JCordoba1001]

Disclaimer from Seether was a cool record!

[@tingkagol]

Is he talking about Sons of the Sea?
