Foo Fighters has a new album, Wasting Light, published on 12 April, in parallel with the screening of a documentary about their history (which will be presented in theaters, but will not be published).

"We met to work on songs for our Grandes Exitos and I thought it was time we did something new together, now that things are calm," he said. But if someone has a bit more complicated than that is the drummer Grohl of Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins. A good drummer who was more of a problem for playing in the band one of the most iconic drummer of the last decades: the great Grohl. The main problem was Hawkins, however, he nearly died from an overdose in 2001, during a time of stress and boredom avoidance of comparisons coupled with the feeling that he could not play well and was being controlled by none other than Nirvana drummer. Ten years later, Hawkins takes the call of NO from his car, which is going to get his daughter to school. "The beginning of the millennium was a time of hell for me, which I also became shit. I thought it was fun to be drugged and drunk all day, and I got confused with all these facilities they gave me. But I almost died, man, "he says, lowering the tone, from Seattle.
- undoubtedly get another perspective on drugs, especially regarding the abuse of them." Share some thoughts more?
- I think nobody has the right to tell another how to behave, but I can mention my case. I was lucky enough to switch sides when I crossed threads, and walk giladas taking pills and I no longer fun. All the world talks about how bad they are hard drugs, but there is a point where everyone decides on his life. The only thing I would tell the kids were pibas is to have fun, but be very careful and respect.
- Do you think having something else to tell the Argentine public? It said it would come in 2006 with The Who, then in 2009 alone and in 2010 with Queens Of The Stone Age, but it never happened.
- The only certainty is that we were to go with The Who, but it happened that they canceled the tour and, well, everything fell. The other were just rumors, but we were talking about going to Latin America to show this album, perhaps in early 2012. Believe me, I do a lot to go there.
- 2012? But it is assumed that the world will end in 2012. Without going any further, look what happened in Japan ...
- Yes, I saw him at home, what the hell! I have wanted to help as we can, and we talked with the guys that could do a show to benefit victims. Already touched by the tornado in New Orleans.
- and also made "The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners" inspired by the miners trapped in a cave in Australia, played at the Live Earth. The title of this new album, Light Wasting even seems a manifesto about the waste of resources today.
- I had not thought, but true. Somehow using the least work possible technology. There were no computers, recorded everything in the house of Dave, who has his studio there, the old way. It is an ideal album to play live, because it has that organic thing, right? I would say that the whole album is like a whole concert: a big block of music with a particular message, and then there are issues within each song satellite.
- There are some peculiarities in the mix: Dave's voice is well back, is a compact sound and riffs and cuts are substantial.
- We sound more united and that gives him the power characteristic that is this album. It is trite and pretentious, but I think it's our best album. It is not a regular album, Foo Fighters, there is some deeper things, nuances, of moments that we had in our history. But, I am frank, we have albums with a couple of really good singles that brought songs that were not up to them. This time it's different.
- Did not have to do with maturity, an understanding of teamwork? Perhaps derived from his work on the documentary.
- Be honest: Foo Fighters are a band, well we get along. Then there is some life in Foo Fighters that goes beyond our relations. We almost broke up several times, but to go through so many tribulations and the opening we had in the interviews, where we are becoming more honest, we could solve our problems or at least set them aside. People see us as a band very solid, but long Foo Fighters music was more than brotherly.
- That can be seen in the documentary?
- Of course, we are in an era of brutal honesty. In 16 years we went around and although it's uncomfortable for us, there to be real.
- One of the things that happened to them was to have the blessing of the previous generations of rock. Dave played with John Paul Jones, played live with Jimmy Page, you saved to disk Slash and Lemmy is his driver in the video for "White Limo." Not everyone!
- Yes, it's amazing all that. Goes far beyond the fame, money or how many albums sold. What we did in the past 16 years was trying to not only respect but also contribute to the rock tradition. And at the point of spending a few days with Lemmy say, 'Damn, we did well! ".
- What was Taylor Hawkins & The Coattail Riders? Released an album with that band, which writes and sings. Will you follow?
- I do not know if the Coattail Riders will want to follow, because I have at least a year and a half of intensive work with Foo Fighters, but if only, I will continue doing things. I do not know if the same style, because they had little more than soft rock, folk. But I think the rock is a medium to share, collaborate and create new things. The rock is like get out of your traditional dress, and that's very funny and refreshing. But on the other side, and all we Foo family, other groups of friends, and wishes and desires that have to do with other things. The Foo Fighters do not exist forever, but even brake lights a year or we part, each of us will continue making music. I assure you.
