It was taped a while ago but it’ll finally air: The Foo Fighters episode of Top Chef on Bravo. The band will act as guest judges. Seeing how bands usually eat anything, no one may get kicked off. I remember hearing somewhere that Dave Grohl loved cheese (hope that’s right) so get that fondue ready! Further details from EW.com:
The episode,…
The Foo Fighters played a couple of shows at Wembley Stadium back in June. No big deal. Packed the place each time. Over 80,000 people each show. Oh yeah, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin were there. No biggie. What? you didn’t go? Shame. Oh wait, they have a DVD of the show coming out on November…
Adam Jones of Tool sat down with Rolling Stone to talk about how Tool agreed to let their songs “Schism”, “Parabola” and “Vicarious” be used in the new Guitar Hero World Tour videogame coming up this month as long as the band was allowed to design the artistic background. Because Tool’s all about the “art”.. friggin snobs. He also bares a…
It’s always special when you’re famous enough to have something named after you. It’s even more special when it’s a street. Dave Grohl’s hometown of Warren Ohio will rename Market Alley as Dave Grohl Alley. Make all your sick jokes now. For more on the story, go to NME but please, whatever you do, don’t go to Ohio just for this.…
If there’s one thing that Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters dislike, it’s Coldplay. If there’s two things that the Foo Fighters dislike, it’s Republicans who use their music on the campaign trail. Presidential hopeful/Republican Senator John McCain has been using the band’s “My Hero” on his campaign. The Foo Fighters have objected to its use using the reasoning that…
Eagles of Death Metal are a cool straight-up rock band out of Indio, CA. Their lead singer Jesse Hughes is originally from South Carolina but he rocks like pure Americana (what the hell did I mean by that?) Anyways, Josh Homme (lead singer of Queens Of The Stone Age) plays drums for EODM except on some…
It’s a slow morning for The Perv today which means that it was a crazy night last night for The Perv. Let’s start things out this morning with a funny little video of Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters giving “hit lessons” to Kyle Gass from Tenacious D. It has some swearing in it so it may be a little…
This weekend if you were in Austin, Texas, you either went to a big football game or to the Austin City Limits Festival. A lot of bands played (a lot of them were shit, I won’t bother you with too much of that) but there were still some shiners out there like the Foo Fighters, the Mars Volta, Jenny Lewis, Beck, Vampire Weekend (eh), and The Raconteurs. Austin 360 had full coverage of the event with pics and a review of every day so go there if you wanna know more.
As part of our continuing tribute to TRL, here’s part 2 with the top 5 videos of 1999. 1999 was a special year for all of us. Some people were born, some died. Some really important things happened and life was never the same for everyone as we know it. With that, here are the top 5 videos of 1999:

Even though Dave Grohl said that the Foo Fighters would be taking a bit of a break soon, it doesn’t mean that guitarist Chris Shiftlett’s going to be sitting around waiting. Shiftlett, who used to play in Me First And The Gimme Gimmes (now his bro fills in for him), is prepping his side project Jackson United for the road.
Ryan Star is one of the newest hot artists on Atlantic Records. Ryan first caught my attention on the reality television show “Rock Star: Supernova” on CBS a few summers ago where he was competing to become the lead singer of a “supergroup” consisting of Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Jason Newsted (ex Metallica) and Gilby Clarke (ex Guns N Roses).
