I love this interview. When Janet started to play Sleater-Kinney songs, I had a huge smile on my face.

when she started playing "get up," i just wanted to come in o that guitar riff.... man!!! love sleater-kinney, so much.

When she explains how she approaches drumming for other bands compared to Sleater-Kinney, it's pretty evident by the sound of their latest singles why she had to leave. I love this interview, and I am so sad she left, in my opinion, her greatest band. I completely understand why.

What do you mean on why she had to leave, what do you mean ??

@ketij4759 7 ай бұрын

Carrie and Corin told her that her ideas/style was no longer welcome to their "new" era of the band and she had to play by their wishes now, obviously Janet felt like it was her time to leave afterwards.. @@bilykralik885

Lived out west for a while, and saw S-K countless times, Quasi a few times, and Janet never failed to kick some ass. Such a wickedly talented drummer.

7:52 That generic drum sound is exactly what I don't like about a lot of EDM. EDM would sound so cool if it was actually performed by musicians. I know that sounds like a contradiction in terms, but I'd like to hear music which was created as EDM, but ultimately performed by human musicians. If you have suggestions about how to make that happen, shoot me an email. You really can tell Fred is a musician and music lover at heart. Great video. Thanks for posting.

Even though Janet Weiss was a great drummer for Sleater Kinney, I am kind of glad that she left because I feel her position in the band was overshadowed by Carrie and Corin.
