Dave Grohl is the king of side projects - and this year he will continue in that vein. Not only will the Foo Fighters release a double album (which, according to the NME, will be split into
'rock' and 'acoustic' halves), but he will also appear as drummer on new releases from Garbage and Nine Inch Nails.
Talking about the new Foo Fighters material, Grohl told NME: "It is gonna be a double album, but it's not just a bunch of songs.
But it isn't a concept record either. All I can say is it's gonna blow people away. And it's really far beyond anything
I'd ever expected the band to do. I'm really looking forward to it. We've kinda finished recording the rock part of the album, and we're gonna get in on the acoustic stuff pretty soon. It's amazing."
On the Garbage guest appearance he continued: "I play on a
Garbage track called 'Bad Boyfriend'. Butch Vig called me and said 'Come in and play on it', and you know, if there's anyone in the world I owe a favour to it's that dude, so I figured
I'd go in and do it, and it was a lot of fun."
