2011 has been pretty good so far for Foo Fighters; Dave Grohl was just named NME's 2011 Godlike Genius Award, [which he dedicated to Kurt Cobain and seemed to get a little emotional...] http://www.nme.com/awards try to watch interview (pretty cool) and their first single, 'Rope' went straight to #1 Billboard Rock Chart. Their new album, Wasting Light has alot of good tidbits... first, they did not record this album in a studio, but basically all in Dave's garage at his home in California. Second, one of the producers is Butch Vig (who produced the famous Nirvana Nevermind album), third, besides Dave reuniting with Vig, Dave also reunites with his old bandmate Krist Novoselic (bass for Nirvana) and lastly, they have been performing the full album, first at the Roxy, at NME and so forth. In an interview, Grohl mentioned that they wanted a record that would be fun to play fully live... and I just listened to their whole show from the Roxy and they definitely accomplished the game plan. Can't wait to see them play live myself...
Below is their official video for the first single, 'Rope' - which I keep loving more and more... also when you get a chance, check out out these songs, 'Dear Rosemary', 'Arlandria', 'I Should Have Known', and 'Walk'. Anyone else as psyched as me right now about this?
