For all the "I love you Dave" comments, I love you Bill Stevenson. The heart and soul behind three of the greatest punk bands of all time.

Bill Stevenson is by far one of the greatest punk rock drummers and one of the greatest drummers period! And he loves the Beach Boys and that makes me respect him even more!!

Milo Goes to College...one of the greatest punk rock albums of all time. South Bay Punk.

I got to intern at The Blasting Room Studios that Bill owns. I only saw him maybe 10 times in the two years I worked there, but he is a super nice guy and obviously killer drummer. One of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received was him walking in while my band was listening back to our recording and said “Who are these guys, they are really good!?” Life complete

it's so great that some bands that have made it big give shoutouts to these hugely influential bands that are still kind of under the radar to a lot of people. another example would be that Travis Barker from Blink 182/Transplants has a baby Milo tattoo.

I learned the drums the same way, not with the pillows or anything, but by listening mainly to Descendents and ALL. I notice that with ALL, Karl and Bill step it up a notch. Amazing band, even more amazing live.

This is some really great footage, especially that tattoo bit at the end.

I love Dave Grohl

Nice backpack.

Hope brought me here, which is a classic and one of the bands which made me want to join a band. "Take a quaalude, relax your mind." Excellent and great to hear Dave talk about his punk roots. Bill Stevenson what a multi talented man he is. Milton Keynes Sept 2015 I was there. Break a Leg, as per my T, Dave. My hero as a young drummer was DH Peligro and I was lucky enough to meet him a few years ago and he was an absolute gent and chatted with me quite a while and great hugger too.

Duuuude Bill Stevenson is just fuckin god! Got to listen to ALL Descendents albums, or Black Flag ones with Bill, just listen to black flag's avant garde hardcore punk brilliant EP The Process of Wedding Out it's just mind-blowing. So much respect to Dave knowing that he idolizes fucking Bill Stevenson and John Bonhan as fucking drums gods they are.

the nicest guy in rock and roll??? you play in NZ even though you broked your leg on stage.. went to te hospital, got fixed and came back to finish the show, the man! who the fuck would do that! only you, sooo much respect for that, and it was a great show !!!! we waited for you , and you dindt disappoint us, love you man just for that

He's so adorable!! Love him!

I HAVE FOLLOWED U FOR MANY YEARS DAVE I CAN ROCK THE HOUSE ALWAYS NO MATER WHAT BROKEN & ALL U PULLED IT OFF TY FOR THE ❤️ & YEARS OF PLAYING DON'T STOP PLZ😊❤️💯

Dave grohl are really nice, such a good personality!

This is what if you really want something you’ll go to any length to get it like I was playing on pillows I just came back from a walk guitar strap to my chest learning new chords 41 years old. You learn a lot by playing music about yourself it’s just not about music determination all these great things, especially get older

Just watched filmage the other night. Great stuff 🐸🍺🔪🔥

This is gold!

Oh my GAWD!! ONE of the greatest song intros EVER!!! And best drumbeats and playing sessions ever! Nirvaner is my fave band and I have a BLK flag tattoo I gave myself on my arm! With errthang bad in life right now!.... this video just gave me a HUGE spark of happiness!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍹🍹💚🖤💚🖤😎😎🥰🥰🤘

I don't believe in heroes, but Dave Grohl is the man i am jealous of, because i think he's one of the coolest people on the planet, he's in my top 3 P= favorite men on the planet. He's a great modern day artist.

I love The Descendants and Nirvana!

Grohl is right Bill Stevenson is one of the pantheon of drumming greats. And the Decsendants mastered teen age alienation in thier music. Blink 182, say thanks to Milo and Bill for paving the way

Is there a band that DG didn't love and get influenced by?

AWESOME in so many levels!!!

He acts like he is the only drummer that played on books listening to their favorite music.

He's almost Kenneth from 30 Rock in this video

Wow, nice!

You remind me of Andy Kauffman in this video for some reason. Tank you very much.

Ahh the descendents...so called hope : ) I love them

Awesome

This is what it would look like if Dave went to college after Nirvana.

I love u Dave G

what a gem

i knew IT !!! when i heard that QOTSA song i told to my friend that the intro drums was soooo similar to slip it in... but i didn't knew it was on purpose XD

Bill Stevenson is drum royalty!

This was cool.

Been listening to a lot of ALL lately and been thinking how much the Foo Fighters must have been influenced by them. ALL is better of course :)

wow this is cool!

Scream's first record is one of the best things in the world. Dave wasn't in the band then though.

Dave...just meet him. I'm sure he'd be glad to finally meet you!!

I used to do the same thing with the pillows when i first started to play drums.. At the age of 5 ♥

I like the idea of it...

Bill Stevenson is my hero. To this day.

dave grohl being interviewed in science class

Just saw bill down here in fort lauderdale, and his old fat self was still as much of a beast as he's always been... hes such a talented punk, a true drum ogre.

he should have mentioned them on the stern interview. he did talk about seeing naked raygun. throw 'em a bone!

Crazy how small the descendants are, yet NIRVANA KNOWS OF THEM

haha yeah. that's great!

Lol, I play big rides and learned to play drums because of Dave.

When did you meet Dave? My guess is this is 2002 when they released One by One judging by the hairstyle. Did you run into him backstage? Did you ask him beforehand to meet him to talk about ALL?

Stevenson was probably the best drummer black flag had but Robo drummed during their best years

cool

28" ride!!!

This is the coolest fucking video I've ever watched!

This is cool. Which year is that? 🎪🤩

Fucking LoVe stories like this

Did you submit this to Filmage?

Watching in 2019 -- this is an old vid -- maybe '04 or '05?

When's this from?

It's funny how drummers all have similar stories.

The Filmage guys sat down with Dave Grohl.

thanks＆love　☆♪★

From which Year was this Interview ?

whats the brand of his jacket ?

Bill is by far the most iconic member of the descendents!

e foda,não se esqueça de foda :)

Bill Stevenson’s favorite band- Propagandhi

From what Year is that ?

Bill is the best hardcore drummer.

We get it. Dave Grohl was influenced by a lot of "iconic"(overused word but what the hell) artists. JOIN THE CLUB, Dave.

this guy kind of looks like the guy from nirvana

I don't really ear a lot of Stevenson in Grohl's drumming style tho...

Wake up early! Mad at you! Go to school! But where were you? You should have told me! I should have known. But now you're gone! And I'm alone!

How did that happen ?

ripped off a " Down by Law" song as well

Rad

2006 ish at a guess

Oh shit ALL...give me dag nasty original

Dave Girl

Go home Dave Grohl! You're Drunk..j/k you are always drunk, and we Always love you

It's just DESCENDENTS. There is no "The" in their name.

that doesnt deserve a response...my god,,,

if Queens of the Stone Age are such fans of Black Flag, why does their music suck something awful. Grohl is awesome tho

how many fucking pillows does he have

Are you mistaking them for someone else? Check out sick, sick, sick. Most of there music is punk as fuck.

cool
