Je kan er niet achter komen? Heb je nog nooit van Google of Wikipedia gehoord? De hele aflevering staat wel op Youtube. De andere bandleden naast Dave Grohl en Taylor Hawkins zijn er drie namelijk Chris Shiflett, Nate Mendel en Pat Smear!

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl surprised an audience of just 100 people when he played a secret acoustic gig in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday night (May 7).

Grohl appeared at The Bluebird cafe, introducing himself by saying: "My name's Dave Grohl. I'm a drummer." There is no explanation as to why Grohl was in Nashville, though local news reports state he was filmed by a camera crew throughout his performance.

The Tennessean reports Grohl paid tribute to the southern city he was playing in, and said, "The heart and soul of this city is in the music and the musicians. It is an honor to be here," as he played a set including 'Everlong', 'Learn To Fly', 'Times Like These' and 'My Hero.'

Grohl said he might need to run outside and scream because he'd never played such a quiet show, but instead stayed after his performance and chatted with fans.

The Bluebird gig was the second of two surprise shows Grohl has played this week and follows a career spanning Foo Fighters gig in Washington DC on Monday (May 5).

Last month (April 30), Foo Fighters shared pictures of the recording sessions for their new album. According to producer Butch Vig, the LP is "almost halfway done" and will see the band experimenting with some challenging recording techniques to keep everyone focused.

The band revealed in January that sessions for their new album were "fucking on" by posting a picture of a row of master tapes labelled 'Foo Fighters LP 8' to their official Instagram. Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, Grohl said: "I know what it sounds like and I honestly think the entire concept is really going to take people by surprise and it sounds nuts."

Dave Grohl Gets His Own HBO Show, Recruits Joe Walsh For Foo Fighters Album

The lead Foo Fighter’s new series will document his globetrotting experiences at the best recording studios in the world.

Oh, you thought Dave Grohl was taking a day off? Yeah, right. While finishing up work on the Foo Fighters‘ eighth studio album, the man of a thousand projects has also signed on for his own HBO series.

As Grohl biographer Paul Brannigan reports, the show will center on Dave’s journeys around the world as he explores and utilizes the best recording studios in existence. He explains:

“Studios featured in the series will include Nirvana/Page & Plant producer Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, Don Zientara’s Inner Ear studios in Washington DC – where Fugazi, Henry Rollins’ first band S.O.A. and Grohl’s pre-Nirvana punk rock band Scream recorded – and Rancho De La Luna studios in California, a site at which Queens Of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys and Mark Lanegan, among others, have laid songs to tape. The singer has also visited studios in New York, Seattle and Nashville.”

Fans can expect appearances from Kiss frontman Paul Stanley, Heart’s Nancy Wilson, Joe Walsh from The Eagles and Fugazi legend/Dischord Records chief Ian MacKaye.

Another bit of news was tacked on to the update as well, regarding a guest on the new Foo record: guitarist/musician Joe Walsh will appear on the album, he let slip to the Hollywood Reporter. “I was a Foo Fighter for two days,” he explained, “and played on a track of theirs that’s gonna come out. I also play guitar on a War song, so I’m a low rider and a Foo Fighter.”

FOO FIGHTERS TO COMMEMORATE EIGHTH ALBUM & 20TH ANNIVERSARY WITH HBO SERIES DOCUMENTING EIGHT-CITY RECORDING ODYSSEY

Foo Fighters have confirmed that the making of their upcoming eighth album–due out this fall on Roswell/RCA–will be accompanied by an as yet untitled HBO series documenting the eight-city odyssey during which the record was created.

In the series, directed by FF founder Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters tap into the musical heritage and cultural fabric of eight cities–Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, DC and New York–basing themselves at a legendary studios integral to the unique history and character of each location.

One song was recorded in each city, every song featuring local legends sitting in, and every lyric written in an unprecedented experimental style: Dave held off on putting down words until the last day of each session, so as to be inspired by the experiences, interviews and personalities that became part of the process.

“Dave’s heartfelt passion for this project is contagious and his talent as a musician and filmmaker is undeniable,” said Michael Lombardo, President, HBO Programming. ”We are excited to go on this journey with him and the Foo Fighters for this insider’s look at how regional music inspired them to create their own new music.”

Grohl’s 2013 feature film directorial debut, the universally acclaimed Grammy-winning Sound City, was a celebration of the human element in the creation and recording of music, this series is in Grohl’s words, “a love letter to the history of American music.” Each episode delves into the singular regional identity of each city-how each region shaped these musicians in their formative years, and in turn the impact those people had on the cultural fabric of their hometowns-ultimately celebrating their common bond: Every artist that appears in the show, regardless of genre or locale, started as an average kid with the universal dreams of making music and making it big.

Grohl’s interviews with these musicians are integral to the show and the creation of the album as his chemistry with bandmates Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear. Dave’s unequaled passion for both the music he creates and the music that inspires its creation once again fuels the type of honest and trusting musician-to-musican exchange that made Sound City a critical and commercial smash, one that earned a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes as it rocketed to #1 on the iTunes documentary chart.

Premiering on the eve of Foo Fighters 20th anniversary, the FF/HBO series aims to “give back” to the next generation of young musicians. As interviewee Buddy Guy puts it, “Everything comes from what’s come before.”

The HBO series is directed by Dave Grohl for Roswell Films, a division of the Roswell Records label that releases Foo Fighters’ music, produced in conjunction with James A. Rota, John Ramsay, and Therapy studios, and written by Mark Monroe and Dave Grohl.

Following months of speculation, Foo Fighters have finally confirmed details of their highly-anticipated eighth studio album. The as-yet-untitled record, serving as the follow-up to 2011′s excellent Wasting Light, will arrive in the fall through Roswell/RCA Records.

The album’s release will coincide with the airing of Dave Grohl’s new HBO TV series, which was first reported yesterday. According to a press release, the series will document Foo Fighters’ sessions in eight different cities — Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, DC and New York — as they record the album in various legendary studios.

The press release explains: “One song was recorded in each city, every song featuring local legends sitting in, and every lyric written in an unprecedented experimental style: Dave held off on putting down words until the last day of each session, so as to be inspired by the experiences, interviews and personalities that became part of the process.
