Josh Freese

Drum roll please– it’s the Season 3 finale of “Load-In Through the Back,” and it’s an absolute BANGER. Tired of drum puns yet? Too bad!Our guest on Episode 20 is iconic rocker Josh Freese.Josh has been a percussive force for over three decades, lending his unmistakable groove to artists such as A Perfect Circle, DEVO, and Bruce Springsteen. He further cemented his legacy with the Foo Fighters, stepping into one of modern rock’s most high-profile drum chairs with both authority and musicality. Along the way, he’s shared stages—and album credits—with Nine Inch Nails, Guns N’ Roses, The Vandals, and many, many more.Josh joins us to talk about his brand-new album of 60-second songs, “Just A Minute, Volume 2”; growing up in the orbit of the Walt Disney Band; filling the shoes behind some of rock’s most iconic drum parts; and how his wife Nicole—who makes a bonus appearance in this episode—deserves credit for naming his latest release.Just because Season 3 has wrapped doesn’t mean the hustle stops.
