Josh Freese's Top 10 reasons he got booted from the Foos
Well at least Josh is having fun with it. He posted this on his Instagram.
Top 10 possible reasons Freese got booted from the Foos
10. Once whistled "My Hero" for a week solid on tour.
9. Could only name one FUGAZI song.
8. Two words: polyrhythms.
7. Metronome-like precision behind the kit deemed "soulless."
6. Demanded starting every rehearsal with a 20-minute cowbell sound bath.
5. Never even once tried growing a beard.
4. Didn't show up to studio because Mercury was in retrograde.
3. Promised Noodles he could be 4th guitarist.
2. Refused to perform unless he was guaranteed an Ouija board and nunchucks after every show.
1. The whole poodle thing was getting to be a bit much

This is a bit refreshing, after all of the "Our side and their side have amicably agreed to part company, we wish them the best in their future endeavors" corporate bullshit that is practically mandatory.

He's like a guy who can't stop talking about the girl who broke up with him.
If Josh Freese quietly went back to playing with Sting, people would just assume the Foos weren't able to keep him.

He only announced he was fired on Friday and then Monday put up this joke post. It's not like he's Sammy Hagar and has been talking for years that Alex won't talk to him.Mister Freeze wrote: ↑Tue May 20, 2025 6:29 am He's like a guy who can't stop talking about the girl who broke up with him.

I think there might be some truth to these two.8. Two words: polyrhythms.
7. Metronome-like precision behind the kit deemed "soulless."
The Rock Drummer Paradox: Being too good.
I never thought that about this playing--I always thought he was loose while still being totally locked in--but Grohl's a drummer and he knows exactly what he wants to hear.
Maybe Freese wasn't bringing enough Gap Band flams and Black Flag snare rolls.

Euh, I get the joke on nr 5 (and I'm too good!); but most of the others could use some explanation.

Every day, he asked Grohl how many kids he had.
