Foo Fighter’s Rider

Hey, it‘s Dave! Remember me? Yeah, I‘m the guy that‘s been listening to your band faithfully since 1983. I bought your first album ‘Kill ‘Em All‘ from a mail order catalogue called Under The Rainbow, I think. Actually I can‘t remember. It was 1983 for Christsakes! But that album changed my life and I‘ve been listening to your albums ever since (even ‘St Anger‘!). I can‘t wait to hear the new shit, and no matter what you guys do I‘ll always be first one at the shop waiting to hear it. I‘m sure you‘ll come out and blow everybody‘s fuckin‘ minds, because you‘re fuckin‘ METALLICA! Good luck. And don‘t release it until it‘s kick-ass.

Yours, Dave Grohl.

P.S. Are you finished recording the drums yet?

Ever since the three living members of Led Zeppelin confirmed earlier this month that they’ll be reuniting for a gig at the O2 Arena in London on November 26, the rumor mill has been rife with speculation that the band — frontman Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones, with Jason Bonham filling in on drums for his late father, John — would follow the appearance with a full-blown tour.

But that won’t be happening, Plant told British music mag Uncut.

He told the mag that November’s concert — in honor of Ahmet Ertegun, who signed the band to Atlantic Records in 1969 and died last year at the age of 83 (see“Atlantic Records Co-Founder Ahmet Ertegun Dies”) — will be a one-time deal: “There’ll be one show and that’ll be it,” he’s quoted as saying. The benefit concert will also feature performances by other Atlantic artists past and present, including Who’s Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, Paolo Nutini and Foreigner.

“We need to do one last great show because we’ve done some shows and they’ve been crap,” Plant said.

The group disbanded after John Bonham’s death from alcohol poisoning in 1980. Plant, Page and Jones performed at Live Aid in 1985 (with Phil Collins and Chic’s Tony Thompson tag-teaming on drums) and at the Atlantic Records 40th anniversary show in 1988 with Jason Bonham; they also performed at Jason’s wedding. Page and Plant joined forces for two albums and a world tour in the mid-’90s and have performed together sporadically over the years.

However, Plant asserted that there will be no tour after the forthcoming show. “Not for me,” he told the mag. “But I can’t speak for anyone else.”

The singer said he’s actually looking forward to bringing his music career to a close. “I know I’m getting on,” he said. “When I do come back from touring, I’m shocked to find a lot of my mates tend to be going to bed far too early, and that means I should probably be doing the same. Maybe I should stop having a good time and get old.” The singer recently collaborated with bluegrass artist Alison Krauss on an album called Raising Sand, which comes out next month.

Plant’s comments came just days after Foo Fighter frontman Dave Grohl apparently volunteered his services for just such a tour. After saying that he plans to sneak his way into the long-sold-out London show, the former Nirvana drummer added that he wouldn’t mind manning the kit for Zep if needed.

“[I am] at their beck and call,” he told British music weekly the New Musical Express, adding that if he were asked to play with the Zeppelin, “What the f— do you think I’d be saying? I’d say, ‘Hey [Foo Fighters bandmates] Chris [Shiflett] and Taylor [Hawkins], let’s take a little break for a few days, I’ll see ya later!’ But I don’t expect that to happen.”

Grohl further acknowledged that Jason Bonham is the perfect choice to replace his father: “Jason should be the one. Everyone knows that. He’s a f—ing phenomenal drummer.”

Grohl’s publicist did not confirm the NME quotes specifically, but noted that he’s heard the drummer express great enthusiasm at the prospect of playing with Zeppelin.

Consistency may not be the spice of life, but it sure is a good thing when it comes to making music, and the Foo Fighters consistently ROCK the FUCK OUT. Vicarious music just had the honor and pleasure of seeing them live at MSG (which was also taped for a Fuse TV special, if you feel like checking it out) and every time we see them it gets better and better.Grohl is an intriguing combination of showman and musician-seamlessly melding the two into one big ball of kick ass. Acoustic or full on electric, The Foos energy hits the red zone every single time.Some highlights include the fact that the Foos played songs off of every single album…everything you could possibly want to hear. And all with Pat Smears, love when he comes out to play.Spoiler alert (for any of you going to see them later on the tour): They have a separate stage holding all their acoustic gear that hides in the ceiling, only to be revealed about 1/2 way through the show. On that stage they did “Skin and Bones”, “My Hero” and a personal favorite “Everlong”…which eventually led the band back to the mainstage for a balls out electric finish.The first ever triangle solo to be played in MSG…only the Foos.Dave’s ADORABLE daughter Violet was on hand, dancing and clapping along to Daddy’s music.and completing the evening was a Rachel Ray sighting filled with some of the worst air drumming we’ve ever seen.
