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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Forget the Greatest Hits album being an obituary. Apparently there is no hiatus. According to Dave Grohl, he and drummer Taylow Hawkins “have already started demoing songs” for a new album. Oh, and the band is working with producer Butch Vig – ya know, the guy that did Nevermind. Better still, Grohl seems to think [...]

Don’t get me wrong here, I love the Foo Fighters, I really do. “The Colour and the Shape” is one of my all time favorite albums, and I’m a huge fan of Grohl’s work, be it in the kit with Nirvana, QOTSA and Them Crooked Vultures or playing frontman in the FF, but recently it’s [...]
