The Foo Fighters May Be Dropping A New Album Next Month
Uhhhh, say what now? New Foo Fighters album NEXT MONTH? EXCUSE ME?!
Did RadioX's Chris Moyles just accidentally announce - in the most casual of fashions - that the Foo Fighters are dropping their first album/piece of music since the tragic passing of Taylor Hawkins last March?
I mean - he just said it like we were all supposed to know that in-between songs and carried right on!
"Love that song so much! That's Foo Fighters and 'Walk'. They've got a new album coming out in March - Foo Fighters - which I'm very much looking forward to."
What's next?!
"That was 'Supersonic' by Oasis, who have reunited by the way, and are playing Knebworth this Summer. Now throwing it over to Johnny with the weather!"
Honestly, Moyles blurted that out so matter-of-factly that I'm inclined to believe he had heard that information somewhere, and just assumed it was out there and announced already, so he just said it having no idea that he was breaking massive news in the rock n' roll world.
Side note: if you don't know Chris Moyles, he's been in the industry for decades, and would definitely be able to get some inside info like this here-and-there - he's not just some random disk jockey.
If this news does wind up being true, I'll be really curious to know what kind of music is coming out way from Dave Grohl and the rest of Foo Fighters on this go-around.
They generally don't make the saddest music, but considering with death of Taylor Hawkins and Grohl's mother, Virginia, were just months apart (and less than a year ago) - I do wonder how that will affect the themes being written about, if at all. I could see more songs like the underrated piano ballad, 'Home' making their way onto the next record.
I assume Dave will play the drums himself on the studio stuff, and that Josh Freese (current drummer of The Offsrping, formerly of Guns N Roses, Nine Inch Nails, Sublime w/ Rome, A Perfect Circle, and many others) will be the band's touring drummer when they hit the road for festivals this Summer….
We'll just have to wait and see, now - pressure's on, Chris Moyles!
