FOO FIGHTERS Frontman Talks About Upcoming Tour With MOTÖRHEAD (Video)

March 23, 2011

FOO FIGHTERS frontman and former NIRVANA drummer Dave Grohl spoke to MTV.com about FOO FIGHTERS' upcoming shows with MOTÖRHEAD and Scottish rockers BIFFY CLYRO. The trek kicks off May 17 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and runs until May 26 in Missoula, Montana.

"We're going to do some shows with MOTÖRHEAD ... unfortunately we have to go on after them," Grohl deadpanned. "We actually played with MOTÖRHEAD at Hyde Park once, and Lemmy's a good friend, and Phil [Campbell] the guitar player too. They're just fun to be around, and they're legends, and I'm a huge MOTÖRHEAD fan, so it's an honor to have them come out and do gigs."

"I'm psyched, man. It's going to be fun," Grohl said. "It's like a real rock bill, you know? It's nice to have a rock-and-roll show, and I can't wait."

Video footage of Grohl talking to MTV.com about touring with MOTÖRHEAD can be viewed below.
