Dave Grohl: Alice in Chains Fan, New Foo Fighters Album

0:00It's May 1st. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Music News Today. Music News powered by AI. Dave Grohl just dropped a bomb show, calling Allison Chains his favorite band now. He admitted he slept on them for years, but caught up hard lately. This came out while hyping Foo Fighters' new album, Your Favorite Toy, which hit shelves last Friday, April 24th. It packed singles like caught in the echo, asking for a friend and the title track. In his Apple Music chat with Zane Low, Grohl geeked out over grunge vocal legends like Kirk Cobain, Chris Cornell, and Lane Staley. He said those tracks weave right into your core, linking everyone through music's raw energy. The album channels that vibe with fast punk riffs over softer stuff. Fans when wild when Grohl and Pat Smear crashed a London listening party, mid-carryokie on monkey wrench. They also crashed Saturday Night Live UK, debuting caught in the echo, and child actor live. Plus, Grohl directed a wild zombie video for Spit Shine.

1:01Enemy hit the record with three and a half stars, praising Grohl's rediscovered roar and punk punch. They called child actor a deep cut on chasing validation after tough times, though some lyrics feel light. It's solid, but craves more edge, like their 97 classic. Foo Fighters gear up for massive tours, hitting European stadiums like two nights at Anfield end of June, then U.S. runs, and Australia plus New Zealand, late 2026 into 2027. Grohl still spilling stories from Bowie slip-ups to his vocal booze hack, keeping the rock fire alive.
