Foo Fighters have released an extended 40-minute documentary following their ‘Garage Tour’ which took place earlier this year. The band embarked on a tour of selected fans’ garages in April to celebrate the release of their critically-acclaimed LP ‘Wasting Light’, and you can watch the footage in full at the bottom of this article.
The extended film shows the Foo Fighters performing a selection of old and new material to small groups of fans during eight tiny gigs in garages between New York and Seattle. The band are currently touring the festival circuit before embarking on a full US tour beginning in September.
Meanwhile, lead singer Dave Grohl recently spoke out against drum machines and electronic music, claiming that one of the reasons Foo Fighters recorded ‘Wasting Light’ entirely on tape was to “piss those people off”.
Speaking about electronic music, Grohl said: "All that shit ruins music these days. Drum machines work for pop artists but when it comes to rock 'n' roll - don't fuck with the human element."
Grohl continued, saying: "I learnt to play the drums by listening to records. I had favourite drummers because of their inconsistencies. Modern production has robbed drummers of personalities and it really pisses me off."
