Has been disturbed for the last few years Foo FightersBand is working with lineup changes, first drummer due to tragic death Taylor Hawkins, And then due to Controversial dismissal Josh freeze, But this is not the first time the band’s future has been uncertain. In 2001, a hard recording process and complex personal relationships threatened the band. Disillusioned with how was it going, Dave grohel It seems that it was ready to call and went back to its original role as a rock drummer. But even during the most difficult time, they knew that the band still had a lot to give.
At the time Dave Grohl almost broke the fu fighters
There was a difficult year for 2001 Foo Fighters. At the beginning of the year, Taylor Hawkins faced a heroin overdose, who left him in a coma for two weeks, a huge trauma and a dave grohl for him, for his closest friendAfter recovering, the band went to the studio to record One by one, But seeing the emotional shock, the band had just taken it, it was very soon to actually work for them. In addition, this was the first recording of the band with the guitarist. Chris Chiflet, Who shared Back and back The documentary that he was confused about the recording process, because he did not think it was going anywhere.
Seeing that things were not working out, the band left the recording in the studio after several months. And then, Dave Grohl dropped the bomb that he was joining another band while Foo Fighters took a break. Queens of the Stone Age Was searching for a drummer, and grohel, widely considered one of the world’s best drummers after his tenure Nirvana, Was eager to play drums again after years of playing. He became a full -time touring member, something that Hawkins admitted that he expressed displeasure.
“I just went through this terrible trauma and I was happy that Dave had such a good time. But I was not,” he said in the documentary, referring to his drug overdose. “I am not happy to play with another band for you. Why should I be happy for it?”
For my share, the grohle thought, “I don’t want to be here, and I really like to do this to f ******,” then why not do it? But for the rest of the band, it was not so easy. He had lost his leader, and he did not even know if the band would survive. They finally joined together after their breaks to rehearse to play Cachella, coincidentally, playing with grohe Queens of the Stone Age Tomorrow. Rehearsals were incredibly stressful and ended in a major battle, where Hawkins said he would leave the band after the show.
Reconciliation and band rebirth
By the time he was about to play Cachela, Hawkins was sure that the band was over, so he did not see the meaning of ending things in the context of the band. He thought that the grohe would become a drummer for the end Queens of the Stone Age, So, perhaps as a way to offer an olive branch, They decided to participate Queens Show a day before Foo Fighters Played, something that meant a lot for Dave GrloryThat gesture felt him that perhaps things were still saving. And the next day, things took a turn for better. He played one of his best shows, and later, Grohl and Hawkins went to a walk where they reconciled, both as bands and best friends.
With renewed positivity, they decided to go back to Virginia and play again, no pressure or expectations. Grlo brought into a track that became one Foo Fighters Anthem, “in Times in the in.” The songs, grohel explained, was about the feeling that the band was ending, and he did not feel like herself without it. After seeing that they still work together, they went back to the studio, energetic, and the album with which they were struggling were recorded in just one week for months.
Till today, One by one Is between Foo Fighters’ The most successful album. Like “All My Life”, songs on it, have been practically played on every night tour because they were released, and “Times Like in” has become another special song, for both bands and for fans, since the death of Taylor Hawkins. Now, Foo Fighters Till now another difficult infection is undergoing. He recently announced that former nine Inch Nails Drummer will replace Rubin Josh FrazAnd with an upcoming Asian tour, fans are eager to see what the future will bring to this ever developed band.
