"If there was any doubt that the band would continue after recent personal and line-up woes, he put them to rest last week, announcing the 12-date North American Take Cover stadium tour with Queens of the Stone Age and popping up via special small club shows in the U.S., including a recent surprise set in San Luis Obispo. Nobody does big arena rock better than these two groups, but the Foos in-your-face energy is another beast altogether in an intimate setting."
"On the ground and in the round, the band whipped up hit after hit in a faithful fashion that nonetheless felt fresh and maybe more ferocious than ever thanks to the wildly invigorating rhythms of Rubin, who joined the band to replace Josh Freese this past summer. Rubin, 37, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Nine Inch Nails, making him its youngest living inductee ever."
Dave Grohl formed the Foo Fighters more than 30 years ago, transitioning from Nirvana drummer to frontman as singer, songwriter, and guitarist. The band announced a 12-date North American Take Cover stadium tour with Queens of the Stone Age while also performing surprise small-club shows across the U.S., including San Luis Obispo. On October 30, Grohl and bandmates Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, llan Rubin, and Rami Jaffee performed inside a circle of fans and cameras for Amazon Music Live in Glendale, California. The set delivered faithful renditions of hits with fresh ferocity driven by Rubin’s invigorating rhythms. Rubin, 37, is the youngest living Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee as a Nine Inch Nails member.
