Prodigy discuss Grohl’s guest drumming
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 14 January 2009
The Prodigy have been talking about the previously reported fact that the ever-prolific-guest-appearance-genie that is Dave Grohl is set to appear on The Prodigy’s new album ‘Invaders Must Die’, out 2 Mar. Grohl drums on a track called ‘Running With The Wolves’.
Speaking after filling in for Zane Lowe as part of his takeover thing on Radio 1 (where music c’lebs fill in on his show while he’s on holiday), singer Keith Flint said of the collaboration: “We didn’t do it to be us and Dave our rock buddy collaboration, but just as a friend of ours who does wicked drums that did a track with us”.
Bandmate Liam Howlett added: “We’ve known Dave for quite a few years. We haven’t just phoned him up and said, ‘Dave can you get on the record?'”
“He just emailed to say he’s finished his touring, he really loves drumming and wants to get back into [it]. He sent me some drums on a hard-drive with hope that it might inspire me to write a song – sure enough when I got the hard-drive it was really inspirational”.
“It’s good to hear him play the drums without any other instruments – people don’t hear that. Within the first ten seconds of it being on I was like ‘Yeah this is a song’ – the track was born ‘Run With The Wolves'”.
Speaking of the new album, their fifth, and the first release all three original members have appeared on since 1997, Howlett continued: “We’re not officially back until it comes out but it feels good we’re really behind our record. We hope people dig it, we’re really proud of it”.
