Foo Fighters songwriter Dave Grohl has confessed that he isn’t living the rockstar lifestyle that some may think.
In a recent interview with The Sun, Grohl admitted that his musical career has to wait until his household chores have been done and his children are dropped off at school.
"We have decided to record our new album at my house - in the garage actually. It's working out really well. I can get the kids up in the morning. I love my kids. They're hilarious. I can't wait to get them up out of bed and get them going to school for the day.” He said.
"Sometimes I do some housework, a bit of vacuuming and dusting, then in the week get them out for the day. Then I go down to my garage and go to work. We make some heavy music. But the good thing about making an album in the house is come 6.30 in the evening the kids are having dinner and I get to be there and give them baths and read them stories before they go to bed. Once they go to bed I can go back to the garage and keep on trucking.”
"In 2011, believe me, we're going to be on the road a lot, so I want to make sure I see them as much as possible before that.”
“Right after this interview we're visiting a local pre-school we want our daughter to go to. So I've got to take a shower and tidy up to assure them that I'm not like Alice Cooper or something like that. I have a short-hair wig I put on - I call it my business wig - and a tie. The whole look is great."
Foo Fighters are currently in the process of recording their seventh studio album. During the interview, Grohl stated that the record would be an analogue-inspired piece. The album will be recorded in the frontman’s own garage, and the band have decided to do away with modern digital recording methods:"We decided that, rather than use all the new digital technology, let's go back to tape. Let's dust off our old tape machines and put them in the garage where I keep my motorcycles." NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
