Foo Fighters Go Prog (maybe)

2021-09-17 by jesper EMERITUS | 41 Comments
Wonderful news: Dave Grohl has stated that the next Foo Fighters album "may be an insane prog-rock record". In an interview with Rolling Stone the frontman also mentioned that the band haven't written anything for this alleged next prog-rock album yet.

The band featuring rOck'S NiCesT gUy released their tenth record Medicine At Midnight earlier this year. The album wasn't too well-received, with only a fraction of dads around the globe being aware of its existence in the first place.

Dave Grohl only says, different thing with executing this on the records. Saying about Medicine at Midnight, Concrete and Gold and Sonic Highways. Bold visions with mediocre effort.

Not too stoked about Foo Fighters going prog though, they're always doing best when they keep it simple.

Umm, what about all the bands whose articles you haven't commented on and whose albums you haven't rated?

There are two dawgs within you: one that doesn't care about the Foos and one that will find a way to rate their next album too.

At this point Foo Fighters could write an album of Irish jigs or an opera and it would still sound exactly the same as all their other albums, it's very obvious at this point that they are incapable of writing music in other styles

it wont happen, and this band lost passion somehow over the years, haven't heard anything passionate since like 2011

They should just make a rock record. One that actually has punch, riffs and Dave yelling.

When a rock band entertains the possibility of going prog, it really says it’s run out of ideas

It seems like going prog in this decade is like going grunge in the 90s.
