He also had great results working with Metallica on their self titled black album. So Metallica brought him back to work on their fifth (and sixth) studio album(s) Load (and Reload). However, this decision didn't come without its own little controversy. Metallica are a no-nonsense band and often enter the studio knowing exactly what they want to create. This can bother some producers who often like to have some creative input on the albums they work on. Bob Rock once referred to James Hetfield as "Dr No" because he was always saying "no" to the producer's suggestions. As he told Louder Sound: "There’s always a warming-up period on every project, and, er, it just took a while longer with them! They had one way of doing things, and they didn’t really trust outsiders: not just me, they were suspicious of everybody. I can say that I’d never been involved with people who were as intense as them. But the tensions came when I challenged them or they challenged me, it was never personal... But the thing is, I never said, ‘No, you’re wrong.’ I just showed them other ways to potentially get what they wanted. It’s well known that by the end both [engineer] Randy Staub and I said we didn’t want to work with them again, but that’s because we were so beat: eight months in that environment would test anyone. But some of the best work comes out of tension: with all the great bands… Jagger and Richards in the Stones, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry in Aerosmith… there’s friction. Metallica are not wimps. They believe that they’re the best band in the world, and everyone else needs to get out of the way... In this industry when something has the impact that The Black Album did, it only makes sense to put that team back together. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The previous sessions were intense, but when we started Load we put all that had happened behind us, and moved on... To be clear, I have lots of happy memories from The Black Album too! They’re great people to hang out with, and we had a lot of fun. My 15 years working with Metallica were some of the best times of my life.” - Rock, Bob Rock Reveals Secrets...

We previously had all of the comedic mash-ups at the end of the video similar to the style of one of our favorite channels called CinemaSins. However, we decided to mix the mash-ups in throughout the 10 facts where appropriate to illustrate some of the concepts discussed in the video. Ps... I also feel like this is one of my worst episodes. Most of the facts are rushed and there are a few places where the audio sounds funky because I made a mistake while recording my voice overs, and instead of going back to fix them, I just clipped audio togther to make it work. Maybe one day I will revisit this album and add a few things while fixing others. The Colour And The Shape Foo Fighters | Fun Facts Rock Episode #3 (Updated) 10 Fun Facts About The Colour & The Shape by Foo Fighters Did you know that frontman David Grohl originally wanted to put a therapist's couch on the cover of the band's second album? Or that the album was named because of an old bowling pin? What about the drummer who left the band due to creative differences with Grohl?" Stick around and we will answer these questions and more! 1. Drummer Drama Original drummer William Goldsmith left the band due to creative differences with David Grohl. The band originally record the album at in Washington state at Bear Creek Studio in November of 1996. However, in February of 1997 David Grohl decided to take the songs to Hollywood's Grandmaster Recorders to re-record most of the album with Grohl performing the drum parts. In 2011, Grohl confessed to an interviewer backstage at Oxegen; "There were a lot of reasons it didn't work out... but there was also a part of me that was like... I don't know if I'm finished playing the drums yet... I wish that I would have handled things differently." - David Grohl, Oxegen 2011 - Foo Fighters David Grohl, RTE2fm (Jul 10, 2011) 2. Taylor Hawkins Taylor Hawkins makes a cameo appearance. Although Hawkins joined the band after Grohl had already recorded the drum tracks, the band were kind enough to let him appear in the music videos for the album's singles. 3. Thrift Store Inspiration The Foo Fighters' second album's title was inspired by a bowling pin purchased at a thrift shop. The band's tour manager Gil Norton was known to rummage around at thrift stores and come back with odd knick-knacks and memorabilia. At one point he purchased a bowling pin with red and white stripes because he enjoyed "the colour and the shape" of it. The band found the phrase memorable and humorous enough to use it as an album title. Complete with the British spelling of "colour" with a "u" in homage to Norton who is British. 4. Ordinary Heroes Grohl wrote "My Hero" as a tribute to ordinary everyday heroes. "Heroes are a funny thing. When I was young I had KISS posters and I listened to Rush and thought the Beatles were magicians. But the real heroes in my life were people that I was close to. Pete Stahl who was the singer of Scream (Grohl's pre-Nirvana band) was one. I was 17 years old when we hit the road and that guy showed me the ropes, so to me he was a hero. And family members ...my mom's a saint. She raised two kids with no money and we managed to be a happy family, so she seems like a hero to me." - Grohl, How To Write A Rock Anthem, Morat, Kerrang!
