A picture is worth a thousand words, right? In that case, there's no way to measure the volumes one could fill to describe the above video during which the Foo Fighters - bless 'em, each and every one - perform their new album, Wasting Light, in full from Dave Grohl's Studio 606 in California.
What can you possibly say? That every song's a winner? Yeah, we know that. That the band, 17 years into their career, are hitting an authoritative, muscular stride few groups could ever dream about? We know that, too. That drummer Taylor Hawkins, 39 minutes and 50 seconds in, can still act like a crazed fan? Well, that you have to see for yourself.
Hey, it's the weekend. Sit back, click on the video and enjoy. Foo Fighters...we love ya!

“Maybe I’m writing a song and it doesn’t follow the exact rules of songwriting. Or maybe this word doesn’t make sense next to this one, but that’s how I speak”: Beabadoobee says that “missteps” are more important than perfection in songwriting
“It’s been road-tested, dropped on its head, kicked around, x-rayed, strummed, chicken-picked, and arpeggio swept!” Fender and Chris Shiflett team up for signature Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe
Joe is a freelance journalist who has, over the past few decades, interviewed hundreds of guitarists for Guitar World, Guitar Player, MusicRadar and Classic Rock. He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
