While looking online just before I went to sleep I noticed that website ‘The Smoking Gun‘ has published Foo Fighters’ production rider for their current world tour.
The document is a hefty 52-page document listing the band’s backstage requirements to make life on the road a little easier.
While some bands go with a very boring shopping list like rider – the Foo’s have come up with their own unique way of keeping catering staff on their toes.
The Foo Fighters will release their feature-length documentary Back and Forth on June 6 as a digital iTunes release and a DVD and Blu-ray release on June 13.
The film, directed by Academy Award-winner James Moll, opened on April 5 in select US theaters, April 7 in the UK.
The documentary features details of their formation, charting their rise through the rock ‘n’ roll ranks to become one of the world’s greatest live bands and all the tests and turmoil in between spanning the band’s 16-year career. The film debuted at Austin’s South by Southwest Festival this year.
Back and Forth is a documentary about one of the biggest bands in the world. Going through details of their formation, charting their rise through the rock ‘n’ roll ranks to become one of the world’s greatest live bands and all the tests and turmoil in between.
The line-up has changed considerably over the past 16 years they have been together and the group have decided to unveil the truth behind the fall outs in the new documentary.
No subjects were off limits during the recording, although Grohl spoke about how it was still hard to speak about the departure of the band’s first drummer William Goldsmith. “That’s a touchy subject, one that we’d never really talked about before,” Grohl admits.
As we mentioned previously, The Foo Fighters have recorded a movie to go along with the release of their new album, Wasting Light.
The film, which is called Back and Forth, takes a look at the band, from it’s creation up to it’s sell out shows in Wembley and the recording of the new album.
The film will be played in a number of cinemas across Ireland and UK. Check out the list after the jump.
