Did You Know? This Is The Artist Nicknamed Dave Grohl Morrissey Modern
JAKARTA - Dave Grohl is never ashamed to reveal the bands that influence him. Throughout every iteration of Foo Fighters and Nirvana, Grohl has always been proud to talk about the wonders of everyone from Led Zeppelin to The Beatles to Bee Gees. In addition, Grohl is also able to open his ears to new music.
Throughout his time with Nirvana, Grohl occasionally talks about bands that he thinks have the potential to grow up, including artists like Kyuss among his favorites. Instead of talking about their approach to music, Grohl is more interested in soul artists who are included in their songs, recently called bands like Alabama Shakes at their fantastic approach to production and appearance.
Although not all musicians are included in Grohl's typical steering space, he knows enough to know Billie Eilish's strength. Breaking the music scene through Ocean Eyes, Eilish's songwriting dark style is nothing like anything on the radio, suitable among trap, pop, and industrial music, depending on which song to listen to.
Although Grohl didn't like the music until he watched it appear live, he finally understood what was going on. Instead of focusing on the intricacies of the music, Eilish's reaction from the audience reminded Grohl of the discontent of the vocalists she had seen in the 1980s.
When talking about his appearance, Grohl thought that Eilish had something in common with artists like Morrissey, explaining, "He has this presence. It's a real thing. What I'm starting to notice is his relationship with the audience and his audience relationship with him. The vibes are like, 'Oh my God. It's like, it's Morrissey or Fugazi'. It's a real thing, not just music and some lights.
Although Eilish has a unique blueprint, the number of souls she put into her appearance is not much different from what the Smiths frontman did during his heyday. When he saw their body language on stage, Morrissey lived in the same way as Eilish, as if there was an emotional demon trapped deep inside him who needed to find a way to express himself through music.

More than anything, similarities between Morrissey and Eilish can also be seen in the content of the lyrics. While The Smiths and Eilish can never claim to be the brightest artists in the world, their intense lyric themes about the loss of a relationship between friends and love resonate at a very humane level.
However, when he saw him for the second time, Grohl knew that he was dealing with a great artist who was in the process of making, and explained, "When I saw him at Wiltern, I felt 'this is a revolution'. All these children are attracted to this because they feel like him, and those lyrics represent something connected to them".
While anyone can have a good song, Eilish's greatest power is to make the whole world of music understand the pain in her songs. Artists can try to make a revolution, but revolution will only happen if society follows behind it.
