Josh is a friend of mine from high school. I remember he would be gone all the time on tour with random bands and he would show up to class for a couple of months with different hair colors and then be gone again. I go to his annual Vandals Christmas concert, and every once in a while, we get to hi-5 and take a photo. His brother is also a friend who is incredibly talented just as well whose bio is just as long. it’s just mind blowing to see who he has been with. Dude is a world-class drummer, but also a really cool guy. when you go by his childhood house, which is still there about 10 minutes away from here, there is music equipment hanging from the trees. I just thought I’d share those fun facts.

I also went to school with him and his brother!

Watching the London and LA concerts, Josh seemed to be the most natural fit out of all the drummers who played those shows. He's got the chops, and he will play the songs a bit differently than Taylor and that will inject some excitement into the band and the fans as well. I'm so glad the Foos are moving forward.

They should have used Taylor’s son. He knows everything

I met Josh 10 years ago truly nicest dude ever

Congrats to him. He has been around for so long really. I went to his and his bros Jason Freese (Green Day) HS in Orange County back in 89. They were excited for him just playing drums for the Dream a Little Dream movie soundtrack. I remember seeing newspaper clippings in the office.

Josh is a great fit! Loved the live stream today. And I too, was taken with the formation of the band, Dave facing Josh.

Most bands practice with the singer facing the band. It's not like a live show when the singer faces the audience. Dave facing the drummer is as common as water and shouldn't have come as any surprise to you if you have ever been in or around ANY band while rehearsing.

Congratulations Josh! 🎉 So excited to see you with the Foos!

This will be a perfect addition, and I'm sure Dave and the guys know what they're doing

Their PR team is pretty genius for introducing the new Drummer this way.

These guys seem like super cool. It's cool seeing this interaction. You can tell they love what they do.

You see and hear that energy Josh brings to the table? Hell yeah - perfect choice!

Love!❤

Very happy for Josh and Foo, i just hope he can/will still play for the Vandals

Josh is my favorite punk drummer; he comes with an experienced entertainment lawyer.

Yep great choice. Just see the energy he brings.

Great new drummer! I think he’ll add more all out rocking’ beats!

I like what I hear. Excellent choice 🤘🤘

There are a TON of drummers out there that could pull it off, but it's nice to see a friend of the band do it. It will always be strange for me seeing anyone besides Taylor playing in that band.

It is the logical choice. It has to be somebody that the band knows and are relaxed with. Bringing a stranger into that close knit group isn't going to work as he'll be trying to be a copy of Taylor. Josh is respected enough by the band for them to just let him be himself, and he's experienced enough to put his own stamp on it.

It’s already good but it will only get better as they really start to gel. Josh is kick8n ass

Brand new energy. Yes !!!’

Perfect fit

High energy level this guy.

👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥

Oh hell yes!

was hoping for Richard Greenbury (Manchester Richard from the Croatia show). .. like dream would continue as the actual new guy.. at least for awhile... even if they went on to one year contracts with people there after... (never fully replacing)

What about Ringo?

The owner of this channel can be a good Nathen Drake

I would think that it would be rare in rehearsal to have your back turned to anyone in the band. Having a great drummer makes a band.

Josh rules.

Ian Rubin would be a good fit

HIs personality isn't as cool but his chops are VERY cool. So...take it or leave it.

No kidding my first thought of who could possibly replace Taylor Hawkins will nobody can replace him, but Foo Fighters definitely need another drummer and my thought was what about Josh

Quique, Josh Freese is a freaking legend. One of the best rock drummers ever.
