The new Foo Fighters album has finally been labeled with a release month: November. Apparently, this album would be a turning point, marking the evolution of the Foos as a band and showing us where they are now: “Like, I couldn’t just write a three-and-a-half-minute long KROQ jingle and film it for the finale of an episode about the history of music in New Orleans, ya know? We really had to step up what we…
As much as we like to put on our pretty dresses and show just how bad girls we are, it’s always nice to put things into perspective – and the Foo Fighters have helped us do just that. “I make my living playing rock ‘n’ roll, I’m not going to complain about it,” Hawkins briefly told TMZ. “Who cares, those awards are nice but they don’t f–ing mean sh-t, it doesn’t matter.”, bashed drummer Taylor…
Dave Grohl is a busy man. Since putting out 2011’s Wasting Light, he made a documentary, made music with people from that documentary, started planning a tour with some of those people, played drums for a few different bands, and sorta kinda got Nirvana back together for one night. Well, apparently we can add to that list the fact that new FF music is coming. He recently told MTV News: […] we have a plan, we…
Supergroups are not really a novelty or a shock, but what Dave Grohl is planning is just crazy: he wants to create a group called the Sound City Players, with Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear (long time colaborator, Creedence Clearwater Revival’s John Fogerty, Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett, Alain Johannes, Chris Goss, Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk and more (not…
So two pieces of news that make Dave the coolest and most damn-I-wanna-meet-him-est rock star in the world. (In case, ya know, being one of the best live bands in all of music wasn’t enough. Or putting out a fantastic arena rock record 16 years into one’s career.) First: A recent Foo Fighters show in Ireland sparked over 100 noise complaints. Nothing special, right? Well, apparently, the concert could be heard from 12 miles away….
Album name: Wasting Light Artist name: Foo Fighters Genre: Alternative Rock Released: April 12, 2011 Label: RCA ZME Rating: 8/10 Website: foofighters.com —————————— What year is it? It certainly can’t be 2011 because the Foo Fighters have Pat Smear in their line-up. And they made a record, Wasting Light, that’s loud as hell. And they tapped Butch Vig as a producer. And they had Alan Moulder mix the album. And both Bob Mould and Kris Novoselic appear…
Yup, the new FF record can be streamed at the ‘official’ site of the band’s forthcoming album, Wasting Light. I’m currently five tracks in and, ya know what, the choice to track the record to analog was a good one. A great one, in fact. It just sounds so fucking pure. In addition, producer Butch Vig got some seriously heavy performances outta these guys; they needed it. And the Alan Moulder-helmed mix sounds wonderful. Apart…
Good news for Foo fans! As exploremusic.com reports, it seems the first single off the band’s yet untitled new album is called “Rope” and will be delivered to radio stations at 7am ET on February 23rd. You can listen to the song below in a low quality YouTube video recording the Foos performing the song during a recent secret LA showcase. It indeed doesn’t seem to do the original recording justice, filled of distortions at…
At the beginning of the year Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters announced out of a sudden that they’ve finished recording the band’s seventh studio full length, leaving Foo fans and reminiscing grunge fanatics incredibly anxious. Not much is known about it, except from what Grohl already told us, namely that old Nirvana buddy Krist Novoselic plays bass somewhere on the record and that it’s the “heaviest [Foo Fighters] work to date.” The first single…
Chris Shiflett, the Foo Fighter-who-isn’t-Dave-Grohl (no, not Taylor Hawkins. And no, not the goofy-looking guy what used to play extra guitar for Nirvana – Dirk Gently, or whatever his name was. Because Nirvana songs totally needed two guitars. Not him. The other one. Anyway) recently released his first album with his new side-band, The Dead Peasants. Which is an awful, awful band name, I know, but let’s not let that derail the very point of…
