After 25 years and 10 big ol’ rock albums the only concerning factor regarding new Foo Fighters material should be this: How will it play live?
Can the skyscraping choruses be sung by 40,000 fans at Dodger Stadium even those who haven’t picked up a new Foos record since 2005? Is there space for Dave Grohl, sweat-stained and wild-eyed, to roar a few hearty “fuck yeah, you crazy motherfuckers!” as he gallops across the massive stage? Or at the very least, can the songs be painlessly absorbed as legions of dudes named Mike and Steve impatiently wait for “Everlong”?
