Ilan Rubin Opens Up on Move from NIN to Foo Fighters: "It Was Certainly Not a Swap"

"Being completely honest, we're adults and we're professional, but we're also people with emotional feelings and a sense of camaraderie and intent and purpose. I thought it would feel better to play that last wave of tours with someone that wants to be there, and that's what went down."

"There is no story, honestly. I think it's just a very logical thing. There was nothing behind it. And it's very logical in the sense that Josh played with [Nine Inch Nails] from, I wanna say, '05 to the end of '08."

"When I was gotten in touch with Dave [Grohl] and management, everyone was very well aware that I had a commitment up to this point, and was I doing anything afterwards? And at the time there was nothing I knew about."

Ilan Rubin shared his perspective on his move from Nine Inch Nails to Foo Fighters, describing it as a logical decision without any hidden motives. He noted that Josh Freese's return to Nine Inch Nails was a natural choice, given his previous history with the band. Rubin emphasized that both he and the bands involved were aware of his commitments and that there were no conflicts. He expressed that the situation was straightforward and professional, reflecting the emotional dynamics of the musicians involved.
