Oh SWEET. I hope that this will be on TV in Australia!!

I love Foo Fighters. They have some truly awesome songs.

After what they achieved with WASTING LIGHT, I can't wait to see what the new album will be like! I thought ESPG was pretty ehhhh average/weak as a follow up to In Your Honor, so I hope that they won't lose the momentum they created on Wasting Light with the new one!

That's awesome. I was just re-listening to the IN YOUR HONOR album.

I don't think I've ever really been a huge fan of disc 2, but disc 1 you really can't go wrong - there's not a dud song on that album, or on Wasting Light. I also feel that way for One By One and There Is Nothing Left to Lose.

I've never really got into The Colour... (aside from the obvious hits) and the self-titled first album. Echoes... is okay. But it's kinda like ohhh they just missed the mark slightly after IYH, and then Wasting Light kicked major ass!

So I'm really keen to hear the record and see the doco.

Hopefully, this should be another winner.

Yeah I agree it'll be interesting to see where they go based on the progression from stuff that was on Echoes... to Wasting Light (think about how different a song to Long Road to Ruin or The Pretender is to a song like White Limo off Wasting Light, for example, that song is pretty different to anything they've ever come up with).

Plus, it's only 8 songs. That's kinda disappointing. Maybe one of them is going to be a 10+ minute epic?

*waits impatiently for November*

Well, the Loudwire page stated that the album will be 44 min. long which means that the average song will be 5.5 min long, so we may get some 6+ min. songs along with some potential catchy #1 rock single that they always achieve.

Yea, it really is disappointing that there will be only 8 new songs. But I guess these songs will be super fucking cool. I mean, average 5,5 Min. Length, this can not go wrong.

I don't think we can really complain about the number of songs when the album is still 44 minutes..

I'm already soooo hyped. This album will be one of the best things in music history. I'm 100% sure about that.

I haven't heard anything off the album aside from that trailer, but already I'm wondering how they're going to top this album. I said the same thing about Wasting Light, but I'll be surprised if this isn't better than that. If they had all the talent they showed recorded in some way through this album (even a technique of theirs played by a Foo Fighter), this is going to be the album to end all albums.

I'll wait to hear it before I just praise it. Love the idea and liked the sound clip of Something from Nothing, but Wasting Light was the first album of theirs I felt didn't have any filler. I'm excited too, but I'll save my judgment until it's actually released lol.

:eek jealous. still need to catch a foos show. guess this is going to be the tour to do so. it wouldn't surprise me if they retire for a while after this album. (by retire I mean take 10 years off then tour again and make trillions)

Well, I'd say that "Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace" does not have any fillers aswell.

I thought the front half of that album was excellent, but I don't find the back half as memorable. But to be fair I haven't listened to it all the way through in a while.

Nice. Very nice, indeed. They've always had a great association with Letterman.
To celebrate and promote new album Sonic Highways, Foo Fighters will perform on Letterman — quite a bit, actually.

The rockers have announced a residence on Late Show with David Letterman for an entire week starting Oct. 13.

The band will perform a collection of tracks that helped inspire their new album, leading all the way up to the premiere of the HBO series Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways that chronicles the record’s recording on Oct. 17.

A press release promises special guests performing alongside the five-piece, some of whom helped inspire Sonic Highways and are apparently slated to appear on the full-length record itself. The exact guests have not been announced.

Additionally, frontman Dave Grohl will sit down for an interview with Letterman on the Monday, Oct. 13, show.

Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways premieres Oct. 17 on HBO and will run in eight parts to Nov. 10, the release date of the Foos’ Sonic Highways.

Letterman airs nightly at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS.
