Dave Grohl has been giving some insight into the new Foo Fighter’s record ahead of the spring “The Van Tour” which of course hits the Resch Center in Green Bay for a sold out show on May 10th. Speaking to Kerrang! Magazine he said about the new album:
“I’m so proud of it. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever done. I’m excited for people to hear it and I can’t wait to jump on that stage to play it. There are choruses on this record that 50 thousand people are gonna sing, and it’s gonna bring everyone’s hearts together in that moment. And that’s what it’s all about.”
And what about being a band for 25 years?
“Honestly, it doesn’t feel like we’ve been doing this for 25 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.”
Foo Fighters first album came out in 1995, was self-titled and all of it was famously recorded by Dave Grohl after his Nirvana band mate Kurt Cobain committed suicide in April of 1994. Their last was 2017’s Concrete & Gold.
