if you want to A/B vig and albini, here's versions of "sappy" recorded before remix/remastering, supposedly.(to be honest, the only real difference I hear is vig likes the vocal doubling more)

new one I just heard on sports talk radio: the beginning drum fill in “teen spirit” was ripped off from the gap band’s “early in the morning”

the Gap Band DNA is probably in that drum fill, but the sheer number of outraged people on Twitter complaining that no one ever gave disco the credit it deserved for influencing Nirvana is a little silly.

Has Grohl ever mentioned a disco influence before?
― Sequel to Sadness (Sund4r), Saturday, 3 July 2021 02:56 (two years ago) link
Atm I think I agree with Jordan that shifting the kick to the "e" and "a" instead of the "&" seems like a significant difference.

xp i think it would be like "you know you're right" crossed with modern day dave grohl. on the + side, grohl would be the drummer instead of the front man in this scenario
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 03:24 (two years ago) link
not the same thing but he was vocally stanning for electronic music on the first Foo Fighters promo stuff, iirc. his TV show, which I think was pretty good and entertaining, made it clear he has a broad palate.

The gap band is more funk than disco

Funkmaster Dave Grohl
That drum break is also close to « Funky Cold Medina » with its Funkadelic sample
― AlXTC from Paris, Saturday, 3 July 2021 08:23 (two years ago) link
But yeah the Nirvana one is obviously different on the kick
― AlXTC from Paris, Saturday, 3 July 2021 08:26 (two years ago) link
I mean, there's having a broad palate and there's drawing deeply on Gap Band, Cameo, and Chic for the rhythms of every song on Nevermind? Just seems quite possible that his 30yo memory is being coloured a tad by the lens of the person he's talking to, the current trends, and his most recent project. It's not like people failed to make the connection wrt RHCP's funk influences or NIN's disco and synthpop influences.
― Sequel to Sadness (Sund4r), Saturday, 3 July 2021 10:39 (two years ago) link
he does a variation on the kick pattern but that doesn’t make it not a homage
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Saturday, 3 July 2021 12:04 (two years ago) link
The most disco-ish beat on “Nevermind,” and it’s not even particularly disco, is “In Bloom,” and Chad Channing wrote that drum part.
On the other hand I can believe Grohl listened to Tony Thompson - one of the things that initially drew me to Chic’s sound, before I was much of a funk or disco fan, was that the drummer grooves with the best of them but also hits the skins like he’s playing for Led Zeppelin (which he eventually did, of course). Grohl rarely essays a great groove, but that combination of muscle and precision is right there in his playing.

It’s also like the beginning of “hopscotch” by Gwen Guthrie
― brimstead, Saturday, 3 July 2021 16:35 (two years ago) link
as grohl played the smells like teen spirit beat, it used up his last remaining store of coolness. he's been post-cool ever since
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 17:02 (two years ago) link
the drum intro to teen spirit always vaguely remind me of a syncopated version of motown, a la “ain’t too proud to beg”
maybe that’s what the gap band was doing too, idk

Grohl's best drumming is on Songs for the Deaf by QOTSA

I'm sort of confused, so Grohl said he adapted a little drum fill from a Gap Band song and this is bad or a big deal why??

xpost I skimmed the revive while out and about, saw Grohl cited the Gap Band for "Smells," and made fun of that. But I didn't read any further, per UMS, to see if this was a big deal or bad. You nerd.

I’m bloom riff drummage would have been a good follow up to the argument but as wufs points out above , it’s not grohls

Bc he is using his white male privilege to perpetrate epistemic violence through cultural appropriation.
Seriously, the Gap Band fill was one example he gave of what he was describing as a broader influence throughout at least that album - this isn't a bad thing in any way but I think it's also fair for listeners to discuss the extent to which we hear this.
― Sequel to Sadness (Sund4r), Saturday, 3 July 2021 23:01 (two years ago) link
