The Foo Fighters are definitely one of the more fan-friendly mainstream rock acts and that’s never been more apparent than when they did a mini-tour for their new album in the garage’s of their fans across North America.  This 40 minute documentary captures all the fun.  So awesome.  Enjoy: continue reading...

Part of the promotion for the Foo Fighters new album Wasting Light includes the band going on a mini “garage tour” where they’re performing in the garages of lucky fans.  This is in reference to the fact that the entire album was recorded with analog tapes in Dave Grohl’s own personal garage.  There’s not much to say about this other than AWESOME.   The sound isn’t amazing, but this video should give an idea of how much fun this probably was for all involved: continue reading...
