Foo Fighters Tour 2014: Upcoming Album Predicted To Top Charts This Year, Foos Join Black Keys And U2 In This Year’s ‘Most Anticipated Rock Albums’

Foo Fighters Tour 2014: Coming back from that hiatus and a comeback concert in Mexico, Dave Grohl announced that they would be recording new materials this year and hints of a new album as well.

"It was a very short hiatus," Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett said after the Mexico show in November 2013. "We're going to start recording the new Foo Fighter record at the beginning of next year."

Drummer Taylor Hawkins also told Billboard that he felt the band still hadn't written its "Hotel California" or "Bohemian Rhapsody." "You always want every one of them to be the best one you've ever done, and you always think you haven't done your best one," he admitted.

In an interview of the band in Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl pointed out that the new album of the Foo Fighters would be something different that would surely surprise fans.

"It's badass. We're doing something that nobody knows about, it's f---ing rad. We begin recording soon, but we're doing it in a way that no one's done before and we're writing the album in a way that I don't think has been done before."

"We actually just started making a new Foo Fighters record within the last few weeks. We've started rehearsing."

Front man Dave Grohl said in an MTV interview about the new record and upcoming tour in 2014:

"It's funny, we don't really consider this the Foo Fighters ... we're Rick Springfield's backing band, we're john Fogerty's backing band. We're not up there playing 'Everlong' every night, we're just hoping our heroes get up on stage and play," Grohl said. "But we have a plan, we know exactly what's coming next, and I have the music for the next record and we're going to start working on it once we finish doing all this stuff.

"If I give you something now [about a release date], " Grohl laughed, "it means I'll actually have to make that deadline."

MTV breaks down its top anticipated rock, punk and metal albums for 2014 as Foo Fighters were joined by Beck, who was last seen with a record six years ago; Black Keys; Coldplay, where rumors are going around for a new release; Foster the People, where they are expected to release anytime soon; Fun., after owning 2012 with their hits; Imagine Dragons; Metallica; Tool and the most anticipated return of U2 in the music scene.
