Foo Fighters

Furious-Red

Foo Fighters have announced that they’re making a comeback next year - spearheaded by a massive gig in Mexico this December.

Dave Grohl and co. have been away from the live game for the past 12 months, having toured the world in support of their last album ‘Wasting Light’, which hit shelves back in 2011.

They have spent their time working on their next record and now a 2014 comeback is well and truly on the cards, with a return to the stage taking place even sooner than expected.

Supported by the National, Foo Fighters will hit the 55,000 capacity Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City on December 13. If you’re a fan of the band, and want to make the trip, click here to search for Foo Fighters tickets through Stereoboard!

Foo Fighters last played their own headline UK shows at Milton Keynes Bowl in summer 2011, two gigs which sold out in minutes! Stay tuned for any Foo Fighters UK tour news.

Meanwhile, guitarist Chris Shiflett recently revealed that they have already begun rehearsing songs for the new collection. He said back in August:

“We actually just started making a new Foo Fighters record within the last few weeks. We've started rehearsing.”

I was expecting so much more but I found with some of their songs over the years that they are growers... There is a few I wouldn't have been crazy on at first but now I love....

Have to say both songs have grown on me and i think after watching the first 2 episodes of Sonic Highways helped me like them more

ScummyMan

Way prefer the second song to the first, surprised it wasn't the first single.

Something from Holy Diver riff and 2nd song there like B-sides as some mentioned, hopefully don't regret pre-ordering this a few weeks back.

Foo Fighters performed new track 'The Feast And The Famine' live for the first time on Friday night in Washington DC.

The band performed an intimate club show to around 400 fans at the city's Black Cat club last night (October 24).

The gig took place directly after the second episode of the Dave Grohl direct documentary series Sonic Highways was broadcast on HBO.

Taking to the stage shortly after 11pm, Grohl and co performed for more than three hours. Their set was almost totally made up of tracks spread across their 20-year career including new song 'Something From Nothing', first debuted as part of the Chicago episode of Sonic Highways broadcast last week.

Late on in the set Grohl introduced 'The Feast And The Famine', made available online on Thursday, and said: "We've never played this in front of people before. This song is about Washington D.C."

The epic set also included tracks like 'All My Life', 'One By One', 'Big Me', 'Monkey Wrench', 'My Hero', 'White Limo' and 'Best Of You'. The band also played a number of covers including Queen's 'Under Pressure' and 'Stiff Competition' by Cheap Trick.

Foo Fighters' eighth album, 'Sonic Highways', will be released on November 10. As previously revealed to NME, Eagles' Joe Walsh, Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard and Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen are among the guests who feature on the record.

Sonic Highways, the documentary which takes viewers behind the scenes as Foo Fighters record their new album in different studios around America, will air in the UK on BBC Four beginning Sunday, October 26. The eight-episode series will then be split between BBC Four and BBC iPlayer, with episodes three to six available exclusively online. The final two episodes will then be shown on BBC Four.

Foo Fighters played:

'Something From Nothing'
'The Pretender'
'New Way Home'
'Up in Arms'
'I'll Stick Around'
'My Hero'
'Learn to Fly'
'White Limo'
'Arlandria'
'Cold Day in the Sun'

I actually like the second tune far more than the first....the first one is long overproduced and messy but it will be lapped up by newer foo fans anyway.
And 8 songs?!!!! And also does anyone else think dave is just trying to dominate music....i mean i love the guy...and ive been listening to all things foo for 20 years...but i persoanally think hes just trying to gobble everyone...

Or am i.a muupet

Well that was a big bowl of meh.

Tis track 2 on the album.

Not gone on that one, kinda wished it would finish earlier than it did!

I have a feeling this album, for all it's slick promotion, is going to struggle to match previous sales figures for FF realeases. Between this current documentary, and Sound City (enjoyable as it was) Grohl is in danger of overplaying the nostalgia card.

Another song that's only ok.

I used to be a monster ff fan since i saw that brixton 95 show on the old mtv

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.

Raminahobbin

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.

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
