Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl was declared a God-like genius at the Shockwave NME awards and dedicated the prize to former Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain.
NME editor Krissi Murison described Grohl, the first non-Brit to win the award, as "one of the most important rock stars alive today" before introducing Who frontman Roger Daltrey to hand over the award at the event at the Brixton Academy in south London last night.

Bah! Fucking bullshit awards ceremonies.
dave grohl was awarded a "Godlike genius" award at the NME awards ceremonies this week. I watched the presenting of the award, his acceptance speech and then his live performance. My god... that guy is so overstated.
Don't get me wrong! He is a great musician. I liked Nirvana somewhat, there were OK, I wasn't daft about it like some people. And The Foo Fighters are OK. Them Crooked Vultures though... now that's a band and half!
He's a great musician, and also a bit of a geezer. His friend Kurt committed suicide 15 years and his legacy carried on. It was sad. Shit happens.
He is not a fucking god. Great drummer. Good guitarist and performer. Not the best rock voice in the world, but he is fairly versatile and has energy and stage presence.
Yeah... So do lots of other people, and many of them are more interesting and talented than he is. People just love him because he is the wacky rock drummer from Nirvana.
I fucking hate the NME, lame bastards.
Big up the Arcade Fire for accepting their award in the most interesting and modest way. The only artists to deserve their award asides PJ Harvey, whose lifetime achievement award seemed rather premature.

I see that argument a little, but with that comparison, Dave is definitely a godlike genius. |

I've never heard of that award. I'd say he is a god because he can fill a fucking arena by himself. Sort of like Dane Cook is a god. Although I like Dave a lot more than Dane. Don't really care for either, but I can respect them both solely on the fact how big of a crowd they can draw. Huge fuckin crowd.
So who was more deserving? |

The god-like genius is coming to a garage near you, if you live somewhere between Seattle and New York that is. The rest of us mere mortals over in Europe will have to make do with proper venues.

Dave Grohl is a Grunge-lite genius. |

Agree 100% pot. Yes hes a great drummer, yes TCV is an awesome band, yes Nirvana were excellent.
He is a cool guy and big respect, but come on. God like, he ain't.
Funny how he name checked the Pixies and debaser, he has never written a tune half as good as that. Although i like times like these.
One by one was ok, but the other tunes he did at the show were really awful. Headbangingly yawnsome. NME and their corparate sell out shit.
You are Godlike if you sell a certain amount of records it seems.
Its more of a pop magazine these days, i think. |
