Just when I thought the Foo Fighters couldn’t get any funnier – they release a new video to highlight the bands new tour dates.

The guys are known for not taking themselves seriously during videos and it has become one of their trade marks.

A link to ‘Hot Buns’ was posted on the bands Facebook page with no more details of what the video contained.

A handful of very lucky US garage-owners won the chance to host Foo Fighters at their very own homes for a one-off series of live concerts as part of a Blackberry-sponsored contest that ran back in April.

Footage from the ‘Garage Tour’ has now been made into a 40 minute documentary that charts the Foos’ garage-to-garage charge across North America.

The band played the intimate gigs to competition winners and 50 of their friends across the US in April.

Weak as a kitten was pretty much how I would of described myself after the Sonisphere weekend but no rest for the wicked as it was time to pick myself back up and get ready to see a once in a lifetime show – The Foo Fighters at the Roundhouse, Camden.

When this gig was announced I was so excited – after missing them perform at Oxegen I was gutted, but thankfully this gig saved me from flying all over the place to see them.

They were hands down the highlight act of this year’s iTunes festival.

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.

Today the Foo Fighters released a brillaint video for the single “Walk,” which is inspired by the 1993 Michael Douglas movie Falling Down.

Walk is the second single taken from the number 1 album ‘Wasting Light’ (my favorite album of this year yet – I still can’t go a day without listening to it!)

Also on other news from the band – Back and Forth, which chronicles the band’s entire career, will get its iTunes release on June 7. Then on June 14, the DVD will be available everywhere including 35 minutes of extra footage.
