DAVE GROHL Not A Fan Of Playing Full Albums Live

According to The Pulse Of Radio, FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl is not a fan of the trend of playing classic albums in their entirety live, telling NME in a new interview that he "fucking hates" when bands create a tour around the concept. Grohl added, "I don't like it when bands do that. It's presumptuous. It's lazy."

Even though the 20th anniversary of the first FOO FIGHTERS album is coming up, Grohl said he wouldn't consider playing the record from front to back, explaining, "I don't mind playing a lot of those old songs just to revisit, but the best way to celebrate our 20th anniversary isn't to focus on 20 years ago, but to focus on the last 20 years, meaning two years ago and six years ago and eight years ago."

FOO FIGHTERS began as a solo project for Grohl, who wrote and played everything on the first album himself. He told The Pulse Of Radio a while back how the end of NIRVANA finally pushed him to do it. "I always have played guitar and have always written music on my own and would just make demo tapes and record in my basement studio for fun, and was horribly embarrassed with my voice and never really confident with my playing," he said. "After NIRVANA was finished I thought, you know, I'm too young to become a studio session drummer, I might as well go try my hand at actually singing and playing guitar. And it worked out."

FOO FIGHTERS' new album, "Sonic Highways", arrives on November 10.

The "Sonic Highways" series follows the FOOs to eight different American cities, where they record a track for the album that's influenced by the local scene and musicians. The series premiered on October 17 on HBO.
