It seems Timber Timbre isn't the only one giving out Halloween treats online this year. The Foo Fighters will also jump in on the festivities, as they're set to play a special performance at 2 a.m. (GMT) on Halloween from the Studio 606 complex in California. Want to get tickets? If you're reading this, you already have them. The gig is...

Foo Fighters — Live At Wembley Stadium

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 28, 2008 5:43 pm
One day when we turn on classic rock radio (or the equivalent thereof), the Foo Fighters will be playing, and it's pretty clear that they want to go down in the rock history books that way. This DVD was shot at London, England's Wembley Stadium on a night in June when the Foos played to about 86,000 people. The setlist is stacked full of hits (...

VFest Toronto Day One

By Jen White (CHARTattack) September 8, 2008 4:46 pm
There are a few steadfast indications that it's the end of summer in Toronto: university kids are running rampant downtown, the streets are abuzz with film nerds for the Toronto International Film Festival and the Virgin Festival invades Toronto Island for two days. After a horrendous ferry ride over (media had access to a VIP ferry, but it was...

The Foo Fighters Are Firmly Arena-Rock In London

By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) March 24, 2008 1:30 pm
I don't think anybody expected the Foo Fighters to come this far. At their inception, it was inconceivable that a band with one catchy single and a video that parodied a candy commercial could be anything more than a novelty act. This to say nothing of the fact that their frontman just happened to drum for the biggest rock band since The Beatles...

Foo Fighters — Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) September 25, 2007 12:28 pm
Upon first listening to the Foo Fighters' sixth album, it would appear that Dave Grohl has finally run out of the energy needed to keep rocking out the way he did on his band's last two records. As it progresses, the riffs come less frequently and the piano is pulled out more often, giving the impression that the Foos are finally settling...

Bob Dylan Delivers Sleepy Set

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) November 9, 2006 5:30 pm
There's no denying how influential Bob Dylan is to millions of peacenicks-turned-business executives and their long-haired 13-year-old kids. It's likely that reason alone packed the folk icon's show at the Air Canada Centre on Tuesday. To be able to say you've seen Dylan play "Highway 61 Revisited," "All Along The Watchtower"...

Foo Fighters Get Instrospective

By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) August 25, 2006 4:30 pm
iThe Foo Fighters are the kind of band who appeal to just about everybody, which explains why tickets for Wednesday's special acoustic gig at the Hummingbird Centre sold out in a matter of minutes. Fans confessed to paying upwards of $300 for seats in the balcony, not to mention the outrageous scalper prices, so expectations were high. Frank...

Foo Fighters — In Your Honor

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) June 14, 2005 9:26 am
Ever since Dave Grohl wrote the quiet "Marigold" for his previous band, it was clear that Nirvana's drummer was conflicted. Grohl loves to rock out, but his best songwriting often appears on his more serene material. On In Your Honor, Foo Fighters' first double disc, Grohl keeps his two identities separate, putting his riff-ready rockers on one...

Probot — Probot

in
By Sean Palmerston (CHARTattack) February 10, 2004 1:55 pm
Years in the making, Probot is the metal vision of Foo Fighter Dave Grohl. A huge old school headbanger, the collection sees Grohl team up with a number of his metal heroes from his formative musical years, offering up 12 tracks of metal (there's a bonus unlisted track) that spans the gamut from down-trodden doom to ‘80s-inspired thrash. Each...

Elbow are getting their own beer. It's an ale called Build A Rocket, Boys!, after their most recent album, and it might possibly be the most interesting thing they've ever done. Maybe the only interesting thing about them. Here's hoping Bud Light isn't more potent. English ale isn't known to be watery and wimpy as fuck. Jane's Addiction's long-...

Video Of The Day: Foo Fighters' "Walk"

Yeah, we know this came out on Friday, but the thing about that is it was uploaded to MTV's website first... and Canadians can't really watch videos on there. We wanted to put up something everyone could see, 'cause we're equitable like that. Fuck you, geoblockers.  Anyway, the new Foo Fighters video for "Walk" basically features Dave Grohl...

If you picked up Foo Fighters' new Wasting Light album when it came out last month, you've probably been waiting for them to announce a pile of North American dates so you can see them play songs from it on stage. They've done just that. Singer/guitarist Dave Grohl, guitarists Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear, bassist Nate Mendel and drummer Taylor...

I don't know what's come over Dave Grohl and company, but Wasting Light is the Foos' best album since 1997's The Colour And The Shape.Maybe it's Pat Smear being back, since this is his first album with the band since Colour. Maybe it was recording it in Dave Grohl's garage. Maybe it was the return of Butch Vig, who hasn't worked with Grohl since...

This marks the 17th year the Foo Fighters have been performing and recording music together. Seventeen isn't a birthday that's as feted as 16 or 18, but who really cares? That the band are releasing Wasting Light, their seventh studio album, on April 12, only makes such a celebration more appropriate.So it's with good reason that new Foo Fighters...
