KIRRI, knower of everything foo, i have to see dave's parts in chelsea lately but hardly anything is on youtube. i know you could tell me where i can find them! thank you! :)

Hey, hi, hello, you’re in luck because I still have these links saved in bookmarks! I’m guessing you’re after the eps from the week Dave hosted - if you want the other one-shot hosting slot, let me know and i’ll see what comes up. Full episodes. Take your time with them. Savour them. Ask them how their day was. Light some candles and play some smooth jazz and stuff.

Do you have another working link for the In Your Honor instrumental album? I can't get any links on your "Goodies" page to work :(

Aah nuts, sorry about that, not really sure what happened. I’ll see if I can re-upload them but just so you’re not left waiting an eternity, I think this link works so you can grab the whole thing!

Kirri, I love Foo Fighters and I've listened to their studio albums, but I want to know them more deeply, where should I start? Demos, shows, things and stuff. Thanks.

Hey! Hmmm. Things and stuff. Stuff and things. A great place to start if you want to check out explore more of their work might be to check out some of their b-sides. Some people have put together playlists just for the b-sides and this one is pretty good (though incomplete).

Live shows - I’d go through shows from different eras to get an idea of how far they’ve come - shows like Brixton Academy ‘95, Phoenix Festival ‘96, Edgefest ‘98, Big Day Out 2000, Bucknell University 2000, Rock In Rio (‘01 and ‘04), Toronto ‘03, Live Earth ‘07 and Lollapalooza ’12 (hunt around YouTube by year because there are plenty of others, this is just a mixed bag for the sake of example). 

Demos - You can’t go past the Million Dollar Demos. That’s the jackpot. There are also demos floating around for early versions of My Hero, DOA and Overdrive (known in the early stages as Gun Beside My Bed). Oh, and there are the early demos of the first album. There’s that. But that. (Actually, I lie, this is the darn tootin’ jackpot. Yee-har.)

Hint: If you hunt around the forums on foofighterslive.com, you’ll find a lot of rare and previously known recordings including bootlegs.

So I hope that gives you an idea of where to start. Might have been info overload. Sorry. I get excited. Sorry.

I have a question about the stuff in your goodies section. Alot is in the "rar" file format and when I download it it doesn't work infact my computer can't read it so. What do I need to do?

Heya! I use a program called WinRAR to zip them all up in that format, which you can get here (or here for Mac). You get a free 40-day trial of the program and after that you just get a pop-up asking you to buy, but the software still works. That should open all the stuff in the Goodies tag for you!

Alrightee, for those who were having issues getting some of the individual IYH instrumental tracks (still not sure what’s happening there) i’ve put them all up in one batch over here - it might take a while to download but this one should work for all. Let me know if there are any further issues and i’ll see what I can do. Or crawl under my table and whimper for a while. Y’know, either one’s good.

Foo Fighters - In Your Honor (Instrumental Tracks)

This is an extremely rare find that was never released to the public and has, to my knowledge, only been seen once. Discs of this nature would typically be released to radio and TV outlets for background music to play during intros, promos etc. It isn’t known whether this has been done for other Foo Fighters albums.

(Notes: There are no instrumental versions of “Friend Of A Friend” or “Razor” included for reasons unknown. “Resolve” is highlighted on the cover as that may have been the single at the time this was distributed. These files are also in high-quality FLAC format, not MP3.)

CD1

  1. In Your Honor
  2. No Way Back
  3. Best Of You
  4. DOA (misspelled on the cover)
  5. Hell
  6. The Last Song
  7. Free Me
  8. Resolve
  9. The Deepest Blues Are Black
  10. End Over End

CD2:

  1. Still
  2. What If I Do
  3. Miracle
  4. Another Round
  5. Over And Out
  6. On The Mend
  7. Virginia Moon
  8. Cold Day In The Sun

(EDIT: Having issues downloading certain files? Try this link (all tracks, compressed .rar format.)

Anon. Hey last night’s anon. Hey Foo fans. Hey Dave’s tongue fans. I found it. The Holy Grail. The video this cap is taken from and that so many have put into their spank bank.

It’s here. It’s at 3:17. It’s just. No. But yes. But no.

The “Allister Lob” Session The following five tracks were recorded in April 1992 at Laundry Room Studio in Seattle by Dave Grohl (guitar/drums), his sister Lisa (bass) and friend Mike Nelson (guitar) under the pseudonym Allister Lob. These are all instrumentals but is worth noting that this recording of “How I Miss You” was used for the “I’ll Stick Around” CD single with Dave recording a vocal track at a later date. “Podunk” and “Make A Bet” were re-recorded and used as Foo Fighters songs, while one of the unknown tracks bears a resemblance to “Exhausted”. Podunk Make A Bet Unknown #1 How I Miss You Unknown #2 Have at!

wakemewithmyname:
hello:) can you post all the links you have to foo fighters on loveline?! i think i got them from a post you had made a while ago and they somehow got deleted from my computer :( i would really appreciate it! thank you! :D

Sure, I had to upload most of them again but here you go, m’lady! The only thing is that the 2002 episode with Taylor Hawkins may not be correct. I’ve had a quick flick-through a couple of times and couldn’t hear T in any segments, but it was passed on to me by another fan so it might be the right one after all. Give it a try and please let me know so I can keep hunting if it’s wrong!

(EDIT: Changed the link so that the aforementioned episode IS the correct one - finally found it!)
