Honeybane Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 3 minutes ago, DJ Cull said: Apparently a) Dave wants to go solo (hence his Oscars performance) and b ) he & Taylor might have had a falling out. I suspect he might make a solo record, then another Crooked Vultures, then another solo, and may never get round to going back to the Foos, unless it's for some big anniversary tour. Shit. I don't like Foos but TCV were sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyt Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 31 minutes ago, Honeybane said: They won't split up. I don't particularly like them but they just won't. As long as Dave, Taylor (and maybe Pat) are in the band I would've thought they could get session musicians in to play gigs. As long as Dave isn't playing the drums, they could get session musicians to replace the whole lot of them. And improve!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoTWire Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 The first Foo Fighters record is basically a Dave solo record anyway... so if he does solo stuff then surely he is just doing Foo Fighters with the original line up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this just mean they aren't doing uk festivals this year? No Radiohead yet. That line-up isn't all of EP's headliners. Tickets only went back on sale today so they'll hold back some big names for another ticket sale push. Blur announcement wasn't until May last year.

jparx Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 If Dave is going solo and Foos are splitting up, imagine if they did end up doing Glastonbury next year as a one off. That would be an enermous booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an enermous booking. Wouldn't that kind of defeat the point of them splitting up? If they want to do the odd one off why not just carry on calling it a hiatus?

Andy0808 v5 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Maybe if Foos are out for next year Slaves can step up to headline the pyramid? Cant see someone who has so many band side projects go solo after over 25 years as an active musician. Why now?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmuchmore Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I don't think he will "go solo" as in break up the band completely, but I'd say there's definitely the chance of A Dave Grohl solo album. Could be an acoustic offering, keeping the heavy stuff for Foos/Them Crooked Vultures. If he is doing something on his own, would like to see him make an appearance at Glasto to apologise for breaking his leg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBalls Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Husband just mentioned this Foos announcement and I said "we have no way of guessing what it's going to be so there's no point speculating... we might as well wait until they post it." He responded "don't you go onto the efestivals website every day to speculate about announcements?" Very good point well made. I don't know what I was even thinking there...
