In an interview with Mojo, drummer Taylor Hawkins spoke about the new album and Said Foo Fighters is AC/DC of post Grunge:
“We’ve kind of become the AC/DC of post-grunge or whatever. So, the reaction is going to be interesting. It’s the most pop fantastic album we’ve ever made.
“But I had a hard time making this record because I was like Roger Taylor in the Queen movie. ‘We’re resorting to drum loops?’ I almost feel like Dave like chaos a little bit then likes to control it.”
The band recently confirmed that the tour in celebration of 25 years has been postponed while the US continues to fight the coronavirus.
