Dave Grohl On The New Foo Fighters Album: "It’s Unlike Anything We’ve Ever Done"

So far, we've had some sporadic and fairly cryptic updates on the new Foo Fighters album – from the fact that it's "fucking weird", to a picture of a microphone set up in a bathtub.

Now, Dave Grohl has teased the LP – the follow-up to 2017's excellent Concrete And Gold – with Kerrang!, revealing that, “We just finished another fucking record, and I’m so fucking proud of it. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever done.

“I’m fucking excited for people to hear it and I can’t wait to jump on that fucking stage to play it," the frontman continues. "There are choruses on this record that 50-fucking-thousand people are gonna sing, and it’s gonna bring everyone’s fucking hearts together in that moment. And that’s what it’s all about."

Reflecting on the Foos' whirlwind journey up to this point, the frontman adds: “Honestly, it doesn’t feel like we’ve been doing this for 25 fucking years. It’s funny, some people measure time in days and months and years. But with me, I measure time in musical terms. When I think about 1995 to ’96, that was one thing. When I think of ’90 to ’99, that’s another, and so on.

“I see my life in these markers that are represented by our music. I feel like I’ve been writing this big story, and specific lyrics and songs relate to specific things that happened to me at those times."
