3 weeks ago While we PATIENTLY wait word from the FOO FIGHTERS on a new album, the Grammy Award winning band has been in the studio with the legendary John Fogerty from Creedence Clearwater Revival. The two music power houses came together for Fogerty's latest album, "Wrote a Song for Everyone"... this album is an
Most assumed that the Rolling Stones' '50 and Counting' tour moniker was a reference to their 50 years in music, but it might eventually double as a status for the amount of special guests during their current run. The latest to join in the Rolling Stones fun was Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, who hopped onstage to play guitar and sing during the band's Anaheim, Calif. stop Saturday night (May 18). Fan-shot footage can be seen above.
One of Coachella's biggest draws this year is the reunion of the indie outfit Postal Service, which features the synth-led sounds of Jimmy Tamborello paired with Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard's vocals. But according to a new Funny or Die video, there were actually several recognizable rockers that tried out for the job before Gibbard was selected.
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.
We know the talented lineup of musicians going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the 2013 induction class, and now we have details on a number of special guests that will honor the inductees at the Rock Hall ceremony.
Foo Fighters got the "Led" out at the 2012 Kennedy Center honors. The band performed a cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Rock and Roll,' and it did so with plenty of venom and vigor. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and co. should be proud.
October 2, 2012 I had heard that the Foo would be taking an extended amount of time off after their last show this Saturday, but I thought it was an exaggeration. Then I saw the letter Mr Grohl wrote to the fans on the band's facebook today and it was confirmed
While products like the iPod Touch or Nano may be tiny, it's rare that the folks at Apple do anything concerning the launch of their products small. So with that in mind it should be of no surprise that they were able to secure one of the biggest rock bands in the land, the Foo Fighters, to play the Apple iPhone 5 launch party Wednesday (Sept. 12).
The Foo Fighters breather between shows is Jane's Addiction's gain as drummer Taylor Hawkins made a surprise guest appearance with Perry Farrell and company during Jane's Addiction's Doheny Days performance in Dana Point, Calif.
August 28, 2012 When I first saw this list I wasn't surprised to see Lars in the top five, but to see Dave Grohl was a bit surprising. Not that Dave isn't a bad-ass drummer, cause I think he is one of the best, but the Foo just don't seem like they have the same status as Metallica or any of the other bands on the list
Although Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters grew up outside the Washington, D.C., area and is closely associated with the Seattle scene, he spent the first few years of his life in Warren, Ohio. On Saturday (July 7), the small city in northeastern Ohio will honor its native son in an inventive way.
March 13, 2012 Not old enough to remember the Foo Fighters when they first came on the scene? The Foo's posted an early performance from the 1995 Reading Festival in England. It was recorded less than a year after they came into existence.
