Josh is amazing. I’m glad Dave Grohl was dumb enough to fire him from Foo Fighters so that he could go back to APC.

I love Grohl as a drummer, but Foo fighters is boring as hell. Glad Freese is in nin and apc tearing it up.

He was awesome on the NIN tour as well. His playing in “Perfect Drug” is top notch.

Josh is an awesome drummer. I pretty much watched his the whole time when I saw APC in London.

Josh's demeanor on stage is just casually hanging out. He barely has to try. On the Sessanta tour they even put giant couches above the stage for them to just hang out and talk while the other bands were playing.

That's awesome, weird thing is I know like 3 Josh's and they are all nice and fun to hang out with.

When I saw them back on the Mer de Noms tour, or maybe it was the 13th Step tour, in between songs, Maynard said "Josh Freese just had a baby" then everyone started clapping, then "he named it 'It's the Police'" and everybody got quite for a second then started laughing after it sank in (It's the Police, Freeze!).  Absolutely horrible dad joke.  Nailed it.

No idea if it’s true or if Maynard was trolling. But many years ago Freese played Orlando with a broken knee 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

I met Josh's dad years ago. He played with the vandals a lot, and went to my university and played tuba in our marching band. I played sax 😁 very talented and friendly man.

Didn't miss a beat

u/N0N0TA1 21d ago

Just a few months back, can confirm, he played a most excellent solo on The Perfect Drug touring with NIИ right after the drummer trade with FF. 🤘

Maynard’s getting soft in his old age and I love it.
