FOO FIGHTERS Playing With THE B-52’s Frontman FRED SCHNEIDER For Cover Of Their Classic PLANET CLAIRE Back In 2002

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

24 January 2024

Dave Grohl and his FOO FIGHTERS are notorious for bringing guests on at their concerts. They did it in the past, they do it now and will, I’m sure, to keep doing it in the future.

Back in 2002, at a show in NYC, they invited THE B-52’s frontman Fred Schneider for
the New Jersey legends’ super-duper track PLANET CLAIRE from their super-duper 1979 debut LP.

That live version appeared much later, in 2019, later on a Foos live EP,
weirdly titled 00020225 along with 7 other live performances.

Last weekend, the omni-present FOO FIGHTERS played on the famous American Saturday Night Live show. They teamed up with R&B star H.E.R., the musical project of Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson for an emotional rendition of The Glass, a stand-out track of this year’s LP But Here We Are, their first one without their late drummer Taylor Hawkins who passed away last year, on 25 March.

Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

Last weekend, Dave Grohl and his FOO FIGHTERS played Jazz Aspen Snowmass Fest a couple of weeks ago. At one point, they invited veteran white wedding punk BILLY IDOL on stage for a high-voltage performance of the Sex Pistols classic Pretty Vacant.

And it went like this.

FOO FIGHTERS With JIMMY PAGE And JOHN PAUL JONES For LED ZEPPELIN Jackhammer ‘ROCK ‘N ROLL’

Posted on by JL

One live track a day keeps the doctor away

Today we go back to 2008 when FOO FIGHTERS
played for a full house at Wembley Stadion in 2008.

At one point, Led Zeppelin icons Jimmy Page (guitar) and
John Paul Jones (bass) joined the Fighters on stage for a
deafening version of Led Zep‘s 1971 jackhammer
Rock ‘N’ Roll.

For the occasion, frontman Dave Grohl and the late great
drummer Taylor Hawkins changed places. Fucktastic.

Posted on by JL

It looked like the British big Glastonbury Festival was just one of the few
massive rock events that didn’t book FOO FIGHTERS this year until a band
introduced as THE CHURNUPS took the stage yesterday at 6:15PM local time
on the first day of G Fest 2023.

Watch Dave Grohl going out of his mind.

Yesterday FOO FIGHTERS went global with a free live stream performance, in which
they presented their new drummer who replaces the unfortunate Taylor Hawkins
who passed away last year, on March 25.

Waking Up Being RESCUED By FOO FIGHTERS With A Big Bang And A White Album

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster and harder than any stimulant

DAVE GROHL and his FOO FIGHTERS launch their 11th full-length,
baptized BUT HERE WE ARE the 1st without drummer Taylor Hawkins
who passed away 13 months ago. It lands on June 2. More info here.


The Beatles White album cover? No it’s the Foos white one

Rough Trade: “But Here We Are a brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters have endured recently. The record is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family. Courageous, damaged and unflinchingly authentic.”

The first single RESCUED is a gigantic rocker with Dave Grohl singing his lungs and
heart out as never before, against a Herculean wall-of-burning-guitars sound.

Press play.
VERY LOUD.
