"Foo Fighters have officially announced their new drummer in an unconventional debut. Featuring in a delightfully silly AI video, the band hinted that they're "preparing something special" for fans while poking fun at the AI slop that has infiltrated the creative industries. While there are certainly ways to use AI properly, I'm always a fan of mocking janky AI creations. The technology may have become fine-tuned in recent years, but there's something oddly comforting about those early days of extra appendages and pure, unrefined nightmare fuel."
"Throughout the playful video, the band hone in on their commitment to the "real raw element" of their music, created by "living, breathing human beings". It isn't until a six-fingered Dave Grohl holds up a 'setlist' comprised of gibberish that we soon realise things aren't as they seem."
"The absurdity continues as Pat Smear is subtly depicted with an extra leg, and guitarist Chris Shiflett is joined on stage by what looks like a terrifying fleshy goose-man hybrid. The pièce de résistance comes when Grohl announces, "wait till you meet our new drummer," quickly followed by a hard cut to a 10-armed Ilan Rubin."
Foo Fighters unveiled a new drummer through an intentionally silly AI video that parodies AI-generated oddities while teasing upcoming material. The clip underscores a commitment to the "real raw element" of music produced by living, breathing human beings even as surreal AI distortions appear. Visual gags include a six-fingered Dave Grohl holding a gibberish setlist, Pat Smear depicted with an extra leg, and Chris Shiflett accompanied by a fleshy goose-man hybrid. The sequence culminates with Grohl's line "wait till you meet our new drummer," immediately cutting to a ten-armed Ilan Rubin, blending mockery with reassurance about human performance.
