Foo Fighters Tour 2014: Fans Start Petition To Bring Band To Virginia For ‘Surprise Show’; Organizers Pre-Sell Tickets To Convince Foos To Play

Foo Fighters Tour: Fans are going crazy over the Foo Fighters just like these fans from Richmond, VA, where they made a petition video hoping that the Foo Fighters would see their effort of selling 1400 Foo concert tickets for a show that might not even happen.

“They’re awesome and we’re all really big fans and they do a lot of fun stuff. We can really see them being flattered and into the idea,” says the organizer Andrew Goldin.

He added, “When we thought of the idea, it seemed like it would be a blast to try. We all love rock ‘n’ roll and a good challenge. Well, this gives us both.”

The idea was purely to get the band to play in their town and not in any way for getting money. They even pledged that if the show doesn’t push through they would give the money back to ticket buyers.

“We’re not making a dime off this. In fact, we’ll never even see the money.”

The band are yet to break records as they set for a new album that could change people look at them as they prepare to make their next release a very different one than their previous albums.

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."
