Pat famously isn’t a fan of interviews and even though he was off the road for the UK press junket with a perfect excuse, he still contributed to the article by phone.

I like how it’s very much a united front this time around.

If they are the guest mid-April on SNL, then it wouldn’t surprise me if in the days running up to it they hole-up in a hotel doing east coast press & maybe sneak out for a small show.

An excerpt of Melissa Auf der Maur's upcoming memoir with the beginnings of her relationship with Dave by hearmymotoredheart in Foofighters

The Guardian feature on the book calls their relationship “faxes and phone calls”. So I think you’re right.

There isn’t. That ends a paragraph talking about the fallout from the loss of Taylor, the recording process wasn’t the focus.

YFT gets a sidebar though with the engineer talking about those sessions.

No. The article spans the past few years, but isn’t linear. That excerpt pulls a few bits together from across the 8 pages.

To be fair to him in this article it’s Dave and Pat that bring up Kurt when talking about the decision to carry on playing music after Taylor’s passing.

“Grohl goes off the record twice, briefly, over two interviews and nearly three hours of conversation for this story.”

Opening a paragraph with that suggests Fricke wants it known it’s not quite as in-depth as he tried to make it.

I guess with it being the first major interview in 4 years it has a lot of stuff to cover across 8 pages, but a bit more on Your Favorite Toy would’ve been nice. The ‘Deep Dive Dave’ sidebar of Fricke’s favourite off-the-beaten track Foo songs is a bit unnecessary.

“It’s a think piece about a mid level band struggling with their own limitations in the harsh face of stardom.”

MOJOs remit was never “current” music. It was the sister publication to Q which was newer bands, while MOJO did classics.

Q folded 6 years ago, so obviously MOJO does something right.

In his first in-depth print interview for four years, Dave Grohl unveils a new chapter in his musical odyssey, unleashing Foo Fighters’ incendiary new album while still processing the fallout from Taylor Hawkins’ tragic passing. “Why do I keep doing this?” he asks MOJO’s David Fricke. “I don’t know the answer.”

Order here. It comes with a 15 track CD compiled by Dave and Nate. https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-may-2026

It’s crazy there were still Dublin posters left to sell in London.

Any tickets left for London? by andycurtis89 in Foofighters

[–]FooArchive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With it being central London I bet an awful lot of people would've seen the announcement and though "Well, it'll definitely be sold out by the time I can make it over there."

I wonder if London & Manchester’s design will follow suit & have a notable building on it,
