Dave Grohl Talks New Foo Fighters Album With Q Magazine
We haven't heard from the Foo Fighters since your two Wembley Stadium shows in 2008. What have you been up to?
Dave Grohl: The last album [Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace] was such an experience for this band because we finally got to the place where we were playing stadiums and headlining festivals all over the world. There was a demand for the band that we'd never seen before and truly never expected. When we played those gigs at Wembley, as we said goodnight, I looked out and I thought, "I can't imagine that it can get any bigger or better than this." So I felt like it was time to step away from it. Not necessarily retreat, but just to back away. Because something that good, you don't want it to burn out.
You're recording the new Foo Fighters album with Nevermind producer Butch Vig...
Y'know, going back to make an album with a producer you've worked with before is not unlike going back and fucking a girlfriend you had 20 years ago. It can either be really good or a total fucking disaster. But it was perfectly natural and totally comfortable and he's the same person he was 20 years ago. He wears cologne now. I think that's the only difference.
