Dave Grohl recalls visiting Lemmy Kilmister apartment in Los Angeles:

“I was shocked at how fucking disgusting it was. These aisles of magazines and VHS tapes, stacked three to four feet high. Lemmy sitting on the couch, in his black bikini underwear with a spiderweb on them, after just dyeing his hair black. Doing a phone interview, with a videogame on pause on the television.”

After his interview was over, Lemmy asked if Dave would like to drink Jack Daniel’: “It was fucking 11:15 in the morning. I said, ‘Sure’. I will never, ever forget every little detail of that day,” says Grohl. “Especially not the black underwear, with a spiderweb and a black widow spider right where the dick is.”

New Foo Fighters album

The Foo Fighters will release a new album, Medicine at Midnight next February 5th. In an interview with NME in november 2020, Dave Grohl talked about the band’s new album, saying: “Since it’s our tenth record and 25th anniversary, we decided years ago that we wanted to do something that sounded fresh. We’ve made some many different types of album.”

“We’ve done acoustic things, we’ve done punk-rock things, mid-tempo Americana type of things. We have a lot of albums to fall back on. So you just have to go with our gut feeling and I thought instead of making some mellow adult album, I thought ‘Fuck that, let’s make a party album’.”

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
