The Foo to Record in Space? 2012-02-17 by Objectivity 69% | 32 Comments | http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/foo_fighters_to_record_in_space.html
Dave Grohl has hinted at Foo Fighter's ambitious new recording plans - and it sounds out of this world.
"We have an idea. It's kind of a really big idea," he told MTV. "[We're going to record it] in space. To tape. An analog moonshot."
Grohl and Foo's producer Butch Vig may have underestimated the technical difficulties in recording to analog in tape. We're not experts, but magnetic field craziness might scupper the plan with all that analog tape.
Still, that won't stop Grohl and other rock stars having their intergalactic ambitions.
Last year, Muse expressed an interest in recording their next video in outer space.
"I'm going to try to convince Richard Branson to let us make a music video or record a song up there," said Matt Bellamy in July, referring to Branson's Virgin Galactic, the first commercial space company. "We gave Branson one of our songs for an airline advert, so we’ve got our foot in the door."
Meanwhile, Grohl continues to work on his "Sound City" documentary, and revealed how there might also be an album to accompany the film:
"I recorded a lot of songs with a lot of people in the past couple months. There used to be a recording studio called Sound City that was in the San Fernando Valley. Nirvana recorded there in 1991. It was this really beautiful dump in the middle of a warehouse district. A lot of great records were made there.
"Fleetwood Mac made records there; Neil Young made records there. Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Dio, Ratt, Pat Benatar, Rick Springfield, Rage Against The Machine did their first record there, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica... Evel Knievel, Charles Manson recorded there, Barry White, Johnny Cash," he continued. "So I interview them to tell the history of the studio, but then I invite them back to record with me, and we make a record."

This is incredibly absurd.
| | | lol
| | | so much lol
| | | These guys can be so stupid
| | | those trolling foo
| | | they wanna record something that is out of this world!
| | | Editing Post as to avoid being compared to Phagroh.
| | | Wow, you really just copypasta'd that whole article
| | | MOST unorthodox *snort
| | | What the FOOk
| | | if muse goes to space can we just leave them there?
| | | this is kinda dumb
| | | Sounds like fun to me..
| | | Just stick with recording in your garage
| | | u g is gr8
| | | Cool idea.
| | | i like it
| | | If they actually do this it will be awesome I don't care what anyone says.
| | | Ahh space would be cool. If you got the money, why not?
| | | "and it sounds out of this world"
fuuuuck you.
| | | Wasting Lightyears
| | | "If they actually do this it will be awesome I don't care what anyone says."
Right? Where the hell did people's inner child go? Jaded bastards.
| | | Maybe they'll win another Grammy for Most
Impossibly Ambitious Idea. I mean ****, they already
won everything else. #bittermastodude
| | | Must've been really high when they came up with this idea.
| | | who cares.... first off it wasn't their original idea, so no praise in that category, and second, the foo's (whether you like them or not) haven't changed in years, their catalog is incredibly uniform. soooooo, in space or not, it doesn't matter. I guess to make music out of this world they had to take it in the literal sense. lol all that said, I actually like dave grohl, just not so much as a musician anymore, got bored with him
| | | wut?
| | | "If they actually do this it will be awesome I don't care what anyone says."
yeah I really want them to pull this off
| | | Just a gimmick to garner more record sales. The album would suck.
| | | great idea! maybe someday the foo will record from hell......
| | | gimmicky idea is gimmicky.
it would be cheaper and give much more interesting results if you recorded in a cave or something
| | | Just be like Detklock an go underwater lol.
| | | This is incredibly absurd. [2]
