Amy Sciarretto — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:07:30 +0000

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. This year’s Kennedy Center Honors celebrated Led Zeppelin, who didn’t actually take the [...]

Dave Grohl. Maybe you’ve heard of him? SInger/drummer/guitarist/songwriter for a couple of decent bands…Nirvana? Foo Fighters? Yeah, that’s him. If that weren’t enough to put on a resume, now he has to throw ‘movie director’ in the mix. Grohl’s first foray into moviemaking is ‘Sound City‘, a documentary about the legendary studio where Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ [...]

Sadly, the Foo Fighters are taking break (which won’t last long, as Dave Grohl can’t sit still.) But Taylor Hawkin’s isn’t sitting on his hands.

Foo Fighters Meet Mick Jagger: It's Only Rock & Roll [VIDEO]

gonzo — Mon, 21 May 2012 20:22:41 +0000

Some people decide to join a rock band for the chicks. Some do it for the money. And some do it because they just love to play music. I dare say Dave Grohl fits into the latter. You can't get more famous than Dave. Safe to say he's got a few bucks in his wallet. Chicks? I'm sure he's got that covered. But fame and fortune don't seem to affect him.

In 2002, the Foo Fighters were at a crossroads… When they went into the studio to work on material that eventually became the “One By One’ album, they had just come off a two-year tour, various members were battling inner demons (read: Taylor Hawkins drug problems), and the sessions were going nowhere fast. The band [...]

Reason #3,274 why my life sucks: The Foo Fighters are playing Jazz Fest in New Orleans on May 6th. I have tickets. I have a place to stay. I also have a 'mandatory' station promotion that weekend. One of those 'show up or else' things. Can they hold hold me liable if I come down with a screaming case of herpegonnasyphallaids and have to be rushed to New Orleans? And make a miraculous recovery on Tuesday?

Dave Grohl on Foo Fighters' Hard Rock / Metal Grammy Win: I Feel Bad for Dream Theater

Graham "Gruhamed" Hartmann — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:29:27 +0000

As the 2012 Grammy Awards slowly become a spotlit memory, one of the most successful and featured winners of “music’s biggest night” were Foo Fighters. With his band having captured five Grammy awards (only one less than pop star Adele), including Best Hard Rock / Metal Performance, frontman Dave Grohl revealed to MTV that he feels bad for beating out Dream Theater for that very award.

Dave Grohl has fashioned a documentary about the famed Sound City Studios – Nirvana‘s ‘Nevermind’ and Fleetwood Mac‘s ‘Rumors’ are part of the studio’s repertoire, to name few. A super short and not-very-informative but utterly evocative trailer has been released. It’s more of a teaser than anything.

Funniest Music Videos of All Time (According to Me) [VIDEOS]

Puff — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:38:35 +0000

Rock music and comedy go hand in hand (mostly because we are usually stoned and drunk but that's a whole other post for a whole other time), and there have been some hysterical music videos produced over the years. Everyone from the Foo Fighters to Weezer to the Beastie Boys have made some of the [...]

This is Why Dave Grohl is the MuthaF**king Man!

Puff — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:53:15 +0000

A lot of rock stars make a few hit records, become famous, and turn into complete and utter dicks. (Think Axl Rose or Prince) Dave Grohl is not a dick. He is one of the few genuinely good guys in music. He cares about the fans and he cares about the music. He took the [...]

Anything worth doing, is worth doing twice, right? At the Foo Fighters Madison Square Garden show Sunday night, Dave Grohl and Company brought out several special guests…but, the house went bat#&*@ crazy when the Foos brought out Joan Jett to perform “Bad Reputation”. The collaboration, because the Foos teamed up with her to do the [...]

Stay Classy, Courtney…[PICS]

Steve King — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:28:32 +0000

So I was reading the UK Daily mail and I found a nice article about Courtney Love. We already know she is a train wreck, but wow…she decided to pull her top off, while she was performing the other night in Brazil (seen this act of hers once…not something, I want to see again *barf*). [...]

Foo Fighters Get Naked for 'Hot Buns' Video [NSFW VIDEO]

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 17:03:09 +0000

When a rock band puts out a skin-filled video titled ‘Hot Buns,’ one would expect the effort to be filled with buxom Playboy model types.

Not so with the Foo Fighters, who proved they aren’t just any rock band by making theirs the only ‘Hot Buns’ served up in this promotional video for their upcoming tour. Yes, if you watch this video you will see Dave Grohl’s naked rear end.

Foo Fighters Win Best Rock Video for MTV Video Music Awards 2011 [VIDEO]

Kayla Keys — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:16:52 +0000

The Foo Fighters scored their second moon man for Best Rock Video at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards last night. I know I was also surprised that the Foo Fighters have only won a total of TWO awards at the VMA's, but I really think they deserved this win for their video "Walk."

The Foo's beat out Cage the Elephant "Shake Me Down," The Black Keys "Howlin' For You," Foster the People "Pumped Up Kicks," and Mumford & Sons "The Cave."

Check out the video below and The Foo Fighters acceptance speech below.

When the Foo Fighters decided to start work on their latest album, "Wasting Light", frontman Dave Grohl said "It's time for us to be a rock band again." What better way to get back to the roots of rocking than to record the album in a garage?

So producer Butch Vig built an analog recording studio in Dave's garage, and the band recorded "Wasting Light" the old fashioned way - on tape.
