Much has been made about Foo Fighters old-school approach of recording to tape for their most recent album,'Wasting Light,' and now frontman Dave Grohl is promising an unconventional approach to the band's next album.
It turns out that Dave Grohl wasn't exaggerating when he said there's "pretty much an entire" new Foo Fighters record ready to record. That news, which came from the mouth of Dave last week, was an exciting surprise for Foo fans who were resigned to the idea that the band would be on an indefinite hiatus while Grohl focuses on his 'Sound City' movie, his supporting Sound City Players all-star band and whatever other activities keep the always-busy rocker busy.
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has been insisting that his band is on hiatus ever since he wrote an open letter to fans announcing as much last fall, but it seems he hasn't been entirely truthful. Despite all the talk of his intentions to "pack it in the garage" for awhile, Grohl is now saying that the Foos already have a new album written.
Dave Grohl may be the hardest working man in the world of rock. Along with his highly decorated careers with Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Probot, Them Crooked Vultures and many others, Grohl recently premiered his 'Sound City' documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, with the film now available to see in select theaters. Taking on yet another project, Grohl collaborated with Washington, D.C., group RDGLDGRN to record the song 'I Love Lamp.'
Foo Fighters may be on a break, but fans shouldn't fear about their future. First of all, relationships seem to still be intact with the band's members turning up at the musician's recent 'Sound City' concert to help him promote his documentary. And secondly, Dave Grohl himself says that he's got a plan in place for his return to the band.
After spending the last day teasing some of the people who would be joining him at the Sundance Film Festival, Dave Grohl has revealed all of the guests that will make up his Sound City Players lineup for the special show.
January 6, 2013 I’ve been on a ‘90s alternative rock kick lately, and today, I decided to look up some old Foo Fighters videos just for fun. The one that really caught my eye is the Foo’s 1997 video for “Everlong,” the second single off ‘The Colour and the Shape.’ This is probably my favorite Foo song, and this video is killer even a decade and a half after its release!
December 27, 2012 Last night CBS aired the Kennedy Center Awards. Recipients this year included David Letterman, Dustin Hoffman and Led Zeppelin. When it came to saluting the mighty Led Zep, there was no shortage of talent. Kid Rock & Foo Fighters both hit the stage to honor the rock and roll greats.
Over the weekend (Dec. 2), several rockers descended upon Washington, D.C., to pay homage to one of the most influential rock bands of all time – the legendary Led Zeppelin. The tribute performances for the annual Kennedy Center Honors show would see the combined talents of Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz and Kid Rock all take the stage to play classics from Led Zeppelin and attempt to do them justice.
November 6, 2012 Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme has announced the departure of drummer Joey Castillo and revealed that Dave Grohl has rejoined the band to record their forthcoming sixth record.
Frontman Dave Grohl has officially announced that Foo Fighters will indeed be taking an extended hiatus. There's no word on when Foo Fighters will next play a show or record another album, with Grohl himself writing, "I was serious. I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again."
The Foo Fighters freshened things up by digging into the past with several classic rock covers Friday night (Sept. 21) during their headlining set at Atlanta's Music Midtown festival. The event also gave them the opportunity to reprise their frequent cover of 'Bad Reputation' with the song's originator, Joan Jett, who had played earlier in the day.
