NYR2711 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sounds like we arent going to hear anything new from the Foo Fighters for a long time, this sucks, they are one of my favorite bands. http://www.nme.com/news/foo-fighters/66395 Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl has delivered a clear indication that the band may be gone for a long time. During the band's epic set at the massive Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park on Saturday (September 30), Grohl told the 60,000 crowd in attendance that "this is it", reports Billboard. Before playing 'Learn To Fly', the group's fourth song of the night, Grohl said: "Without making a big deal out of it, we don't have any shows after this. This is it, man. Honestly I don't know when we're gonna do it again?and this is the perfect place to do it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 From the FF Facebook page: Hey everyone... Dave here. Just wanted to write and thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for another incredible year. (Our 18th, to be exact!) We truly never could have done any of this without you... Never in my wildest dreams did I think Foo Fighters would make it this far. I never thought we COULD make it this far, to be honest. There were times when I didn't think the band would survive. There were times when I wanted to give up. But... I can't give up this band. And I never will. Because it's not just a band to me. It's my life. It's my family. It's my world. Yes... I was serious. I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again. It feels strange to say that, but it's a good thing for all of us to go away for a while. It's one of the reasons we're still here. Make sense? I never want to NOT be in this band. So, sometimes it's good to just... put it back in the garage for a while... But, no gold watches or vacations just yet... I'll be focusing all of my energy on finishing up my Sound City documentary film and album for worldwide release in the very near future. A year in the making, it could be the biggest, most important project I've ever worked on. Get ready... it's coming. Me, Taylor, Nate, Pat, Chris, and Rami... I'm sure we'll all see you out there... somewhere... Thank you, thank you, thank you... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 This gets me all choked up. Fuck, no. This band has been a non-stop anthem of my life for the last... I don't know how many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 This gets me all choked up. Fuck, no. This band has been a non-stop anthem of my life for the last... I don't know how many years. 18. But yeah, I'm feeling a little dead inside. A world without the Foo Fighters just doesn't seem right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Probably the best concert I ever saw in my life. In the pit, the setlist, and this hilarious moment halfway through the song. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8U5UzWZm6E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snyper Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Damn, this isn't good news. although, I'm pretty sure someday in the future they will be back together putting out records again. Just seems to be the way most bands do when they say "this is it." It's almost a period just to let the band rest, do other projects, then come back in 5 or 10 years with new kick ass material. At least I hope so! When I heard R.E.M. calling it quits, it got me all teary eyed. Almost killed a human when Blink 182 (my favorite band) split up, but I knew somehow they'd get back together.

Most groups get "the itch" to go at it again. FF have done so much over the last decade — you can't really blame them for wanting a break at this point, but it seems promising still that they'll rest up and come back recharged.

NYRangers92 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 yeah theyve basically been on tour for the past year and a half. Don't blame them one bit for taking a bit of a break. They all have young kids now, and that relationship was shown very well in the Wasting Light doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Wow, I didn't realize they have been around for 18 years. I love this band and am pissed I never got to see them live. This is one of the few bands I always wanted to see, but they always played on dates I wasn't available. I always listen to them and they are one of the few bands I have on my iPhone. I am gonna miss hearing new music from them and I hope this break isn't for too long. I am looking forward to Sound City though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
