The Foo Fighters decided to change things up for this holiday season. Instead of giving us one Christmas song, they are going to sing eight songs on each night of Chanukah, performed by Jewish artists.
“With all the mishegas of 2020, Greg and I were kibbitzing about how we could make Hannukah extra-special this year. Festival of Lights?!? How about a festival of tasty LICKS!!!” Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin wrote. “So hold on to your tuchuses because we’ve got something special coming for your shayna punims. L’chaim!!!!”
The two men did not say who and which songs they were singing, so we are left to guess. Therefore, I am expecting something from either Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Bette Middler, Boy George, Maroon 5, Bob Dylan, KISS, Billy Joel, P!nk, half a Josh Groban song, and/or Adam Sandler. Hopefully, they will find one day to do Leonard Cohen’s Halleluja.
Believe it or not, Saturday Night Live did not have a musical guest for this week’s episode until today. They say that, good things come to those who wait, and a good band came to them. That band is the Foo Fighters.
They are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album. Can you believe it has been 25 years since we have been jamming to their music? I guess, in a way, it does feel like an Everlong amount of time. Ba-da-bum.
Seriously, I hope the NBC variety show finds a way to incorporate Dave Grohl into at least one bit. He is so funny, so they should take advantage of him. What do you think?
Did you know that Dave Grohl had a bad addiction problem, and he needed help for it? Well, the singer finally came forward and revealed he was severely addicted to caffeine. It explains how he was able to break his leg during a concert and keep on playing.
That was then; now, he is coffee-free thanks to FRESHPOTIX. There are a lot of side effects for the cure like extra toe, stomach tail, weeping taint, back fro, and so many more. At the end of the day, it is all worth it. Ever since he has been on the new drug, he hasn’t had to sell his body for that quick buzz.
Now we know how he was able to beat the drums as fast as he did; it was all due to his addiction. He can still play just as well; it is just that now it doesn’t look like his eyes are going to pop out of his head at the end of a solo.
All in all, it is a good thing for the coolest rocker in the land.
Although, we need this coronavirus pandemic to end for him. I mean, this video proves that he and the Foo Fighters need to get back on the road ASAP because they are losing it. Not that it is a bad thing, just an observation.
And I would like to observe more of their madness because this is even better when they sang Never Gonna Give You Up with Rick Astley.
A lot of people have been weighing in about kids going back to school during coronavirus pandemic, and Dave Grohl decided to give his two cents.
The Foo Fighters singer revealed in a nearly 9-minute video that he dropped out of high school in 11th grade to become a musician. Therefore, he does not think that kids should go back to school just yet. But not for the reasons you think.
His mother was a teacher, and he knows how important the job is. They are essential workers just like first responders, grocery workers, and medical staff, and we need to protect them. No one is saying how to do that if the kids go back to school. Until then, we need to consider them and all of the people who work in schools.
No one is debating that kids need to go back to school, we are debating what is the safest way for everyone to do it. Grohl said it much better than I ever could.
Not only did he eloquently explain why we need to delay the opening of schools, but he also brilliantly and lovingly talked about his mom. He might be one of the baddest rockers out there, but at the end of the day he will always a mama’s boy! Just another reason to love him. As if we needed one.
Foo Fighters not only Rick Rolled a bunch of hateful religious nuts, but the band also performed Never Gonna Give You Up with Rick Astley at one of their gigs.
Now, three years later, Astley is covering Foo Fighters’ Everlong. It was kind of weird to see rockers perform a pop hit, but it is even weirder to see it reversed. Not in a bad way, it is weird because it is so simpatico.
When musicians can start touring again, I hope these two artists share a bill. Astley is the perfect ying to the Foo Fighters yang. I would pay to see them live.
