More Foo

So, I didn't watch the MTV VMAs the other night, but I did watch the video that they won Best Rock Video for:



Even more hilarity today as my friend sent me their 2011 tour promo video. (NSFW, hot buns.)



Oh, and look what else I stumbled upon today…a Rolling Stone feature on the Foo Fighters that follows them on their first tour in 1995. And it ends, where else, at a truck stop outside Chicago…

"My Hero"

A truly epic moment at Lollapalooza 2011 when the sky opened up as the Foo Fighters began "My Hero." Even Dave embraced the rain. Notice the crew scrambling to cover all the equipment at the front of the stage!

Foo-tastic

So, that little Foo Fighters show at Metro? I wrote about it for Chicagoist. You should read it.

It was crazy fun. Plus it was awesome to see other music folks geeked out about a show--before and after.

Oh, and I got to meet drummer Taylor Hawkins backstage at Lollapalooza. He was super cool (duh). Thanks to Ernest!

Me and Taylor hangin out at Lolla. 

Holy Hell

Holy hell, I'm going to see them. RT @foofightersnews: Holy Hell, Foo Fighters To Play Metro http://t.co/nI0Kp3Z #foofighters

I need a garage.

Jim: did you see this?

This April, Foo Fighters will be playing songs from Wasting Light, the new album they recorded in Dave Grohl's garage, in the garages of eight lucky fans in eight North American cities.

The Dave Grohl Band

Tuesday's Them Crooked Vultures show was a little on the long side, two hours, but I'm totally satisfied watching Dave Grohl wail on the drums for two straight hours. Hey, remember that huge crush I had on him when I was like 16 and totally into The Colour and the Shape? Yeah.

And check out that photo Katie got! HOTTT!
