Foo Fighters go back to basics

The Foo Fighters are set to prove they can rock with the video to their next single ‘All My Life’. After a string of comedy videos the band are relying on a simple live performance recording for their next release. Frontman Dave Grohl told MTV: "Because for the last five years we've been making these funny videos, like the 'Big Me' Mentos video or the 'Learn to Fly' thing or the 'Breakout' thing, people recognise us for our videos, and then they come see us play and they're like, 'Damn, you guys really rock out. You guys really do it up.' So we figured this time we'd just sort of show everybody this is what it's like when we play live. We're not in dresses. We're not on an airplane. We don't sell candy. We just jump around and scream a lot." That said, Grohl is directing the video, so it isn’t likely to be completely conventional. "Once we decided on a performance video, I started thinking, 'God, everybody's done a performance video. What kind of twist can you put on it? How can you make it different than any other performance video?’ So basically, it's like the greatest show we've ever played in our lives, but ... sorry, it's a surprise.”
