Dave Grohl - No One Knows

Music track

About

Dave Grohl's contribution to "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age is a pivotal moment in the band's history. The song, released in 2002, features Grohl on drums, bringing a dynamic energy to the track. His drumming style, characterized by powerful snare rolls and consistent beats, complements the song's driving rhythm. Grohl's involvement marked a significant collaboration, as he took a hiatus from Foo Fighters to work with Queens of the Stone Age. Grohl's drumming on "No One Knows" is notable for its precision and impact. He recorded the drums in two passes, first capturing the drum shells and then the cymbals, allowing for greater flexibility in mixing. This approach resulted in a tight, punchy sound that became iconic in the song. The collaboration with Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan elevated the track, making it a standout in Queens of the Stone Age's discography. The song's success was marked by its chart-topping performance and critical acclaim.
