Foo Fighters Book Summer Shows

Foo Fighters are currently on the road in support of their latest album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and they're hitting the Forum in Inglewood, California in the next two days. The band will be off to Canada, Japan, Australia and then Europe for most of the spring before returning July 9th in Seattle to start their summer dates.

The Foos, big winners at both the Grammys and the Brit awards, recently sold out Madison Square Garden and they might be considered the biggest modern rock band. Bassist Nate Mendel talks about what fans can expect from their setlist.

Foo Fighters Nate Mendel On Set Approach

"Probably the songs people know. There probably won't be a lot of surprises there. It's only six, we've got six albums, well we have exactly six albums, so it will probably be a bit from each period of the band. If we do a twenty song set, it'll probably be a handful of songs from the new record, four or five."

Mendel, who along with keyboardist Rami Jaffe, represented the band at the Grammy Style Studio, was asked if he found anything.

Nate Mendel Style Studio Clothes

"The Style Studio? Let's see. I don't know (laughs). I got a hat. I'm not much of a hat guy. I figure, I live in Portland. It's cold. I got myself a nice hat."

Foo Fighters have expanded their line-up on this tour leg. Musicians joining them include Jessy Greene on strings, Drew Hester on percussion, Rami Jaffee on keyboards, and Pat Smear on guitar. Opening shows this leg is Serj Tankian, frontman for System Of A Down.

Seeing them on March 22nd w/ Against Me! Oh man, that's gonna be a rough morning the next day. I already wrote my liver a note "Look, I really think we should start seeing other people...there are going to be some rough times ahead, but if we stick together, I think we could make it until the end."

where did you hear this amazing news!!! I couldnt go to Wembley gigs because of my exams, but if they put that on at a better date it will be amazing

[aliceinnirvana]

I inherited a ticket for the Detroit show.
It was amazing.
Dave Grohl stopped in front of me, like two feet away, and played several solos.
And the acoustic set was awesome.
The show was outstanding.

[nothingman34]

since they were way better...

[basskid29]

i heard they are going to maybe play in philly again to

[genresrforposer]

Oddly enough, though I have absolutely nothing against them I'm surprised they're still so big.

Must be a the area I'm in but I know one guy who considers Foo his favorite band and outside of that, they're not brought up much.

Oh well, good on Dave, anyway, they have some cool sonngs.

[luke2206]

Foo Fighters own all things. I've got tickets for June 6th, City of Manchester Stadium, and its possible that my final FINAL exam ever could fall on that day [prays to gods of rock that this is not the case]

[areese82]

I just saw them a couple weeks ago in Binhamton.

[Hamham272]
