On Saturday evening, the Foo Fighters gave their first concert with the new drummer Ilan Rubin in the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, California. Now the rock band officially confirmed: “There is more.”
Dave Grohl about real rock’n’roll feeling
On Tuesday evening, the band released a winking promo video on YouTube, which was apparently created with the help of AI. In it, the members talk about the importance of real music. Gared with typical AI clichés. Like additional fingers and scary faces.
“It was a while ago. But I am pleased to be able to announce that the Foo Fighters are back. To bring you what rock’n’roll really makes up. 100 percent real. Raw and human,” says Dave Grohl, before a fake setlist is displayed in a scribble.
The short video ends with the words: “Stay tuned … there is more!” Even if the band has not yet announced a tour dates, everything indicates an early announcement. The new line -up played another show on Monday at Observatory in Santa Ana, California. There are also appearances in Singapore, Japan and Mexico.
Ilan Rubin officially at the Foo Fighters
Saturday marked Rubin’s debut with the Foo Fighters. The former Nine-Inch-Nails drummer joined the band in the summer after the group of Josh Freese separated, who had stepped in after the long-time drummer Taylor Hawkins 2022.
Grohl introduced Rubin from the stage: “Everyone else has already said that I get the opportunity to say: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, will you please welcome …’ The hardest motherfucker of all – Ilan Rubin now plays drums at the Foo Fighters. It is officially.”
At the beginning of this year, the Foo Fighters published new music for the first time since the album “But Here We Are” from 2023: the new song “Today’s Song” and a cover of the Minor Threat classic “I Don’t Wanna Hear It”.
