6 Degrees of Dave Grohl


So there is a game called the 6 Degrees of Separation in which you try to find a connection between two different things within 6 move. A variation on this game is called Degrees of Kevin Bacon in which one tries to connect an actor at random to Kevin Bacon. This version came about because Bacon once said he worked with everyone in Hollywood or someone who worked with them. I believe in the music industry that this game can be played with Dave Grohl.

 Dave Grohl is a friendly guy and seems to take any chance he can to perform or work with someone. Just last month, he played an original song with Paul McCartney at the relief concert. One of rock's great drummers, he has had the chance to play with everyone from Tom Petty to Tenacious D. Currently, Foo Fighters is on hiatus while he drums for Queens of the Stone Age and this is just a small sampling of the people he has worked with.

 For an example of the 6 Degrees of Dave Grohl, I will connect him to Jack White:

 1. Dave Grohl played in the band Them Crooked Vultures with John Paul Jones.

 2. John Paul Jones played bass in the band Led Zeppelin with Jimmy Page.

 3. Jimmy Page was featured in the guitar documentary It Might Get Loud with 
Jack White. 

 There you have it.  Give it a try for yourself.
