Foo Fighters Surprise Fans with a Blast from the Past!
In a thrilling moment for music enthusiasts, the legendary Foo Fighters brought back a beloved classic, performing the album version of their hit song 'Breakout' for the first time in two decades. This unexpected treat occurred during their recent concert in Kobe, Japan, on October 10, leaving fans in awe.
But here's where it gets exciting: the band chose to play the track from their 1999 album, 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose', which hadn't been performed in its original form since 2002. Frontman Dave Grohl teased the audience with a hint of nostalgia, saying they were about to do something they hadn't done in a long time. And then, the iconic opening bars of 'Breakout' filled the arena, sending fans into a frenzy.
This rare performance comes amidst the band's ongoing tour across Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, and Mexico, where they're showcasing their extensive discography. The full set list from the Kobe concert is a testament to their enduring appeal, featuring fan favorites like 'All My Life', 'Times Like These', and 'Everlong'.
Adding to the excitement, the Foo Fighters recently dropped a live album, 'Are Playing Where??? Vol. I', on Bandcamp. This exclusive release captures the raw energy of their intimate club shows, including songs from their self-titled debut album and a live bonus track from the 'Wasting Light' era. The album is available for streaming or purchase, with proceeds going to local charities.
The band's latest studio album, 'But Here We Are', released in 2023, marked a significant comeback after the tragic loss of their drummer, Taylor Hawkins. They welcomed Josh Freese as a touring sticksman, but he later parted ways with the band, leading to the recruitment of Ilan Rubin. Rubin, formerly of Nine Inch Nails, expressed his excitement about joining the Foo Fighters, calling it an incredible experience.
And this is the part most people miss: the Foo Fighters' journey hasn't been without its twists and turns. With a new drummer and a fresh perspective, they continue to evolve while staying true to their roots. This recent performance of 'Breakout' is a powerful reminder of their ability to surprise and delight fans, even after all these years.
