I assume Slash will be on the Sonic Highways album in some form seeing as he appeared in the trailer for the documentary.

Foo Fighter w/Zac Brown covered Black Sabbath's War Pigs on the Late Show With David Letterman last night, have to admit it's a good cover of one of my favorite Black Sabbath songs.

Nice....

AllGunsBlazing · 14-10-2014 06:28PM

Horrible. The Foo's are too upbeat and bouncy to pull off a decent Sabbath cover. No sense of menace of foreboding to that version at all.

jack presley · 14-10-2014 07:05PM

They're on Letterman all week apparently so we should get another 4 songs before the week's out. Hopefully something off the new album.

Edit - just saw on their twitter feed that they'll be playing a new song on Thursday so it looks like covers tonight and tomorrow.

Foo Fighters

The rumors are true…this Thursday you’ll hear the first song on our new album.

Not bad but not out of this world. Might be a grower though.

wirelessdude01 · 16-10-2014 09:47PM

Really like that song after 2 listens. Like the way it changes about half way in.

Wrongway1985 · 16-10-2014 09:54PM

Can hear some likeness to Dio's "Holy Diver" thrown in there :eek:; might grow but certainly doesn't grab me as much as "Rope" which was first release from last record.

Nate--IRL-- · 16-10-2014 09:57PM

I quite like that, and I don't really like much of their later stuff.

Mushy · 16-10-2014 10:01PM

I like it. Nothing groundbreaking, but I'd expect that. Still good listening!

I thought i as the only one who was hearing the likeness of Holy Diver.

Big time "Holy Diver" riff rob ... song's OK. More steady output from the Foo's. I find them dependable but never earth shattering.

I used to be a monster ff fan since i saw that brixton 95 show on the old mtv and have them live on numerous occasions ..

But the last 2 or 3 albums havent really been all that great (i hated espg save for about 4 songs) and yes this new song sounds like a cover in parts

Hope this album is a good one

For me OBYO, IYH and ESPG really made me care less about the band. WL was prob the best album since TINLTL. The first song off this new one has me thinking it's gonna be IYH again

Raminahobbin · 19-10-2014 01:19PM

I am disappoint

Totally didn't grab my attention at all. And I actually find it quite annoying at parts.

Was just thinking 'Holy Diver,' glad to see other people picked up on it too!!

For shame lads, for shame.

Oh, yes. Have that somewhere on vhs as well. Still think that first album is the high water mark for DG as a song writer. A very dark and mournful effort - it stands in total contrast to the more radio-friendly, arena rock that came afterward.

I distinctly remember hearing 'Learn to Fly' for the first time on mtv and thinking that was enough for me.

^^^ I'm pretty sure that's Steve Albini's (Dude who recorded Nirvana's In Utero) studio in Chicago.
