DAVE GROHL is drumming for NINE INCH NAILS, according to Internet reports.

Following his stints behind the kit for Queens Of The Stone Age, Killing Joke and Garbage, the ex - Nirvana sticksman is now playing with Trent Reznor's industrial metal band.

In a posting on the website of Californian band The Exies.com they said: "Man, I love Fridays at Sound City! Last week, we had a great barbecue with Queens Of The Stone Age and this week we come in to see Dave Grohl playing drums for Nine Inch Nails, is that a trip or what?"

They added: "I guess Trent Reznor is going for real drums this time around. Good call, I say. Anyway, enough of the name dropping (sorry, I'm still a huge fan myself!) but it is pretty cool to be around these guys."

There have also been reports that Grohl has been seen in the studio with the band on the studio webcam. To see for yourself, click here.

Coooool. Dave ROCKS!

Interesting... I wonder if he'll start wearing that outfit and wig from the "Low" video all the time??? That'd be awesome!

that will be tite, I feel like NIN could use some real drumming.

NICE.

for real? that's kinna crazy!

Dave Grohl is everywhere these days, he's been doing so many side projects including QOTSA, Probot, and others. Some of the other members of Foo have side projects as well.

As long as they don't break up it's all good with me

btw, any new NIN stuff comming our way? haven't released anything new for quite a while unless I'm mistaken.

YAAAAAY I love that man

Yeah, there's something new on the way...I think it's called "Bleedthrough" or sumpin' like that.

Dave seems to be working steadily, what's up with Krist Noveselic? If he is cool with his family life, let's not bother him. Maybe he could hook up with Kim Thayal (sic?), Zach De La Rocha, Jerry Cantrell and the dude who was the drummer in STP and start another Super Group of exes, ala Audioslave, Velvet Revolver. Let's think up a good name for this group.

wow weird! but kinna cool i guess

Awesome news about Dave Grohl, and evidently he's doing more than you might think.

Over at nin.com under the access section Trent's been answering fan questions for a while and this was mentioned (among other interesting things-I typed it for you as the site can't be copied and pasted, and if it's typed here it might be easier to read as well-everything's lower case there so that's what i'm sticking with):

"question submitted by teitan:

so what is the state of the new record? who's producing it? how far along is it? who's playing on it and when do you think we can expect it in the stores?

trent:

i have a group of twenty tracks that's being considered for the record. after a lot of thought, i've decided to produce the record myself. why do you ask? well, i feel very inspired right now and i want this record to be what's in my head, for better or worse.

i'm bringing in alan moulder as a sounding board/co-producer/mixer and james brown (not that james brown) for some tracking: atticus ross is my right hand man and programmer and has been from the start of this record. leo herrera is engineering. rick rubin has been a mentor, source of information and guiding force throughout the process.

there is a much less refined approach to most of this record and i wrote a lot of the tracks envisioning powerful live drumming: enter dave grohl. working with him has been one of the most inspiring and exciting experiences i've had in the studio. the tracks he's played on (all fifteen), have come alive in a "better-than-i'd-even-hoped-for" type way.

the rest of the music i'm playing myself.

we are tentatively mixing the record in october and tracking, treating and thinking from now until then. that means the record comes out early 2005, and we will tour extensively worldwide to support it.

who's in the live band? don't know yet.

meanwhile, we're releasing two other items this fall. the long-awaited closure dvd will finally see the light of day-with extra content, and the downward spiral deluxe edition-a two disc package remastered, remixed in 5.1 and more. we just finished remixing tds in surround and it really lends itself to the format-you will soon have a new disc to demo your system with!"

So there you go. Now I'm all excited!
