(Gibson) Dave Grohl has posted a lengthy message on the Foo Fighters' website expressing his gratitude to fans for helping make 2011 "an amazing year." "Where do I begin?" he writes. "Thank you all for making Wasting Light the most incredible album experience of our band's 17 year history. For real. The fact that a rock and roll record, made in a garage, completely analog to tape with no help from computers, could be a #1 album around the world, AND get a Grammy nomination for 'Album of the Year' ...well...these days that's no small feat. It's truly inspiring, and it makes us feel like the luckiest band in the world."
Grohl went on to give details about the experience of making Wasting Light, which he called "the album of a lifetime." He also hinted that fans could expect a new Foo Fighters album in 2012. "If you would have told me 17 years ago that in 2012 I would be writing songs for our 8th studio album...well...," he writes. Read his full post here. more on this story
