    I watched Back and Forth. really cool doc on the Foos. Im not a huge Foos fan, but I really liked SKin and Bones DVD. After seeing back and forth, I ordered the album that they did in the garage.

    I'm watching that now on Vh1 Classic, pretty cool stuff. I didn't know Taylor Overdosed and almost died in London about 10 years ago.

    Dave Grohl's 'brain is working overtime' planning new Foo Fighters record
    Taylor Hawkins offers insight into follow up to 2011's 'Wasting Light'

    Drummer Taylor Hawkins has offered an update on the new Foo Fighters album, revealing that Dave Grohl is "working overtime" on ideas for new material.

    Drummer Hawkins revealed to Billboard that work on the follow-up to the band's 2011 album 'Wasting Light' has begun, and also hinted that it could be a concept album.

    "We're getting started," Hawkins told the US publication. "We're getting our ideas together. Dave has his brain working overtime, like usual, and he's got a lot of great ideas, both musically and conceptually, none that I can speak of at this moment, but it's gonna be great. It's gonna be cool."

    Hawkins also suggested that he believes Foo Fighters have not yet made their definitive album. "You always want every one of them to be the best one you've ever done, and you always think you haven't done your best one. Although some people may feel we have, I still think we haven't written our 'Hotel California' or our 'Bohemian Rhapsody' or whatever. Every time you start a record, you have to be, like, ready to fuckin' kill yourself or it's not gonna be any good."

    Dave Grohl previously claimed that the next Foo Fighters album will "not be a conventional record". The frontman said that he is working on the record but had no ideas as to when the album will be finished. "Well, we're just writing right now," he said. "When we start working on a record, what I've found is we work best at our own pace, and sometimes it happens quickly and sometimes it takes a while."

    Dave Grohl has most recently been focused on his documentary Sound City and its subsequent soundtrack, in which he collaborates with musicians including Steve Nicks, Trent Reznor and Paul McCartney. Speaking in London following a Sound City Players gig in February, Grohl claimed he was ready to start working on Foo Fighters material immediately.

    Interesting. Concept album and Foo Fighters are not two things I generally would put together but they have covered the straight rock thing pretty well so I am excited to hear this.

    They have a difficult album to follow up - Wasting Light was immense. A conceptual themed record sounds interesting.

    Agreed, that interview is outstanding. Every time I think it's impossible to love Dave any more, something else comes along! And thanks for the TV thing, cool!

    I was just recently gifted all the Foo's stuff by a super fan. I made the mistake of starting with Wasting Light first. There is not a song I would skip on that album which is rare these days! It is so amazing that I am having trouble going to their older albums. I have honestly listened to that album every day since I got it. It is in my top twenty of all time...maybe even top ten!

    The new Foo Fighters album has been written, and we should see new material from the band – and an entirely new formula – next year, Dave Grohl has told XFM.

    "Well, I'll tell you, we have been in our studio writing," Grohl told XFM's Sunta Templeton, "and in the past few weeks we've written an album and we are going to make this album in a way that no-one's ever done before, and we're pretty excited about it."

    He continued: "It's a little ways off – it's not ready to happen right now but I think next year is going to be a really big year for the Foo Fighters without question. It's going to be great, I can't wait."

    With the analog tape approach having worked spectacular wonders for the band with 2011's Wasting Light album, and Dave Grohl now owning the legendary Neve board from the now-shuttered Sound City Studios in LA, I'd say they're off to a great start without a new gimmick applied.

    In June, drummer Taylor Hawkins told Billboard that Grohl was “working overtime” on a specific concept for the record. And that’s been confirmed by guitarist Chris Shiflett, who said Grohl is onto something exciting.

    “I can’t go into too much detail," he teased, "but I’m excited about it. Dave’s got a bunch of new songs and the way that we’re gonna make the new record – like, the approach for it – is gonna be pretty fucking fun. And different. I feel like Dave’s always looking for ways – when we go to make records and we tour – to keep things exciting and keep things inspired and fun. I think he’s got some good ideas for this next one.”
