Monster Children 16
It's always good when an issue comes back and we get feedback from people that read the magazine. I'm pretty sure the girls at Sony BMG loved the Dave Grohl cover. I've had a lot of comments from people on how good the Mike Giant cover illustration is also. My sister told me that the magazine is full of mistakes. I didn't even think she read it. Lots of people have commented on Vaughan Dead's dick on page 95. Sorry, lots of people have laughed at Vaughan Dead's dick. Andy at Emi loved the Scare page that's on 111. I saw Sean the other day and he was pretty happy with his paint by numbers Contents page illustration. Greg Hunt wouldn't have received his copy as yet, but his photos have come up real nice in his portfolio. I haven't spoken to Dan Malloy in years. He better be happy with the Patagonia story, and the double page photo he's got in Moving Units. A friend of mine was saying how much he loved Anthony Listers work, but can't afford it. So he's going to rip the pages out of the magazine and put them on his wall. I told him he was a tight arse. And what 6 year old kid wouldn't be happy with having 7 pages of his art in a magazine.

Intro
DAD AND DAVE - That's Dave Grohl to the rest of you.
At midnight, the night before I was supposed to interview Dave Grohl, a friend of mine asked me if I’d like to have some ecstacy. “No thank you,” I said. “I have to interview Dave Grohl tomorrow. I’ve got to be on my game. I got to be off home and get me some snu-snu.” I was no fool. I’d watched the interview with Andrew Denton on Enough Rope and I knew Dave wasn’t into drugs. So how would it look if I turned up with dialated pupils, limp limbs and sweaty palms going “Dave Grohl, dude I got so high last night dude! Hee hee heeeeeee.”? It wouldn’t look cool. It’d look embarrassing. And yet for some reason I ate that dirty little pill and danced the night away. I went to bed shortly after the sun came up and slept through the alarm. When I did wake it was in a cold panic. I had 40 minutes to get from being nude in my bed on the Northern Beaches to Dave Grohl’s room at the Hyatt in the Rocks – hopefully fully clothed. Plausible sure, but my brain was fried blacker than a charcoal sheep’s arsehole. I couldn’t find any keys, my mates had all parked each other in and the cabs were a 20 minute wait. What could I do? I did what every kid does when they’re screwed – I called my dad.
- Vaughan Dead.

Dave Grohl Cover - We had 15 minutes to shoot a cover of Mr Grohl. I turned up with a gorilla suit to recreate that evolution of man style idea. We weren't sure if he was going to be into the idea, although luckily he was cool enough, jumped straight in the suit and we got we were after. Dave Grohl, the coolest damn monkey you'll ever come across.
