“Some of these songs were born in 45 minutes,” said the musician. “There’s a riff I’ve been working on for 25 years – I did the demo in my basement in Seattle, and with each album I’m like, ‘Oh, let’s put it on’ , but it never worked. ”
Foo Fighters’ last album, Concrete And Gold, was released in 2017, but Grohl has other side projects in development. He also mentioned a documentary about bands that toured by van.
Also, Grohl explains: “I’m making a documentary about Van Life and Van Tour. Because in the past, this was how younger independent bands survived, the van was the punk tour bus in the 1980s. Everyone had a van.”
“I interviewed everyone and you will be surprised. The Beatles traveled in a van. Guns N ‘Roses, Metallica, U2, everyone had a van. It was then, you know, how to wear a badge. I did a tour for five years, sleeping on the floor, eating bread and butter and earning two dollars a night “, he concluded.
