I Foo Fighters si fermano. Al Reading 2012 nuovo singolo dei Green ... - MelodicaMente

Ne avevamo parlato la settimana scorsa. La notizia riguarda principalmente i Green Day circa le dichiarazioni di Billie Joe Armstrong al programma BBC Breakfast: nuovo tour nel 2013 (una serie di date tutte inglesi a partire dal 1° Giugno 2013 all’Emirates Stadium di Londra) ed un secret show atteso a Parigi questa sera, al teatro Trianon. Ma non solo questo. Vi avevamo poi dato conto del fatto che i Green Day avrebbero eseguito per intero l’album Dookie (1994): testate giornalistiche di mezzo mondo hanno riportato questa notizia che in pratica si è rivelata non veritiera. Un bel colpo sferzato dall’animo punk di Armstrong&co. Cambio di scaletta all’ultimo minuto ed una chicca per i fan che anticipa il nuo album “¡Uno!”, in uscita il prossimo 15 Settembre 2012 cui seguiranno ”¡Dos!” e “¡Tré!2 attesi il prossimo 15 Novembre 2012 e 15 Gennaio 2013.

Circa due ore di concerto, tra grandi hit come “Welcome to Paradise”, “Holiday” e “St. Jimmy” il singolo “Oh Love” ed il nuovo estratto “Stay the Night”. Una scelta ponderata quella dei Green Day in linea con le nuove politiche, ma con una differenza: anzichè in streaming, la band americana li esegue dal vivo e cerca così consensi dal pubblico che sembra entusiasta di questo nuovo capitolo (3 ad onor del vero!). Però, c’è ancora da decifrare bene cosa avesse voluto dire Armstrong circa il sound “a metà tra gli AC/DC e i primi Beatles”.

E dai Green Day passiamo ai Foo Fighters. La band capitanata da Dave Grohl si esibisce al Reading Festival edizione 2012 ma lascia un pò di tristezza nell’animo dei fan: “questa è l’ultima apparizione della band. Ci fermeramo per tanto, tanto tempo!”. Queste le parole di Dave Grohl che lascia il palco per un pò e si getta a capofitto nei suoi nuovi progetti, da un nuovo album all’esperimento come cineasta che lo vede impegnato nella registrazione di un documentario sui Sound City Studios di Los Angeles. C’è da dire, però, che iera sera Dave Grohl era in vena di dediche: la prima è spettata alla madre che proprio ieri festeggiava il compleanno, mentre la seconda (con tanto di canzone “These Days”) la dedica ai suoi comapgni di avventura Krist Novoselic e Kurt Cobain. Nel 1992 si esibì per la prima volta su questo palco: allora era batterista dei Nirvana. “Mi piacerebbe dedicare questa canzone a due persone che non sono presenti questa sera: questa è per Krist e per Kurt”.

Oltre alla registrazione di alcuni demo per i Foo Fighters, Grohl è alle prese con un nuovo cd i cui prodromi si possono apprezzare nel 2004, anno in cui Dave Grohl pubblico un cd dalle sonorità metal cui parteciparono anche Lemmy dei Motorhead e Max Cavalera. Forte del fatto che Grohl ha pubblicato tempo fa alcune foto che lo ritraggono in compagnia del produttore Butch Vig voci di corridoio si susseguono e si fanno da spalla, e già qualcuno dice che questo sia un album ricco di collaborazioni per Dave Grohl. Non ci resta che augurare buon riposo a Dave ed attendere che ci regali un altro pezzo di musica.

Today wrapped up a weekend of big-ticket performances at the concurrent Reading and Leeds music festivals in the U.K., with some particularly newsworthy highlights over the three-day run coming courtesy of a trio of American acts: Green Day, the Foo Fighters and notorious L.A. rap collective Odd Future.

- Billie Joe Armstrong and co. hit the Reading Festival with a "surprise" appearance on Saturday, though rumors that the pop-punk act would be performing their breakthrough album "Dookie" in its entirety proved to be unfounded. Nevertheless, the rockers did manage to play five tracks from the 1994 LP, with favorites including "Welcome to Paradise," "Basket Case" and "She" included in the set. The wide-ranging performance featured tracks spanning the entirety of their (major-label) career, in addition to highlighting two tunes from "Uno!," the first part of the group's forthcoming three-album trilogy. One of these was a never-before-heard track titled "Stay the Night," and you can check out their performance of the song at the bottom of the page.

- The Foo Fighters, meanwhile, wowed the Reading Festival audience this evening with a whopping two-and-a-half-hour, 26-song performance that saw a reflective Dave Grohl commemorating both the conclusion of the band's "Wasting Light" tour ("It's the last show of the tour and it's the last show for a long time," he stated as they took the stage) and the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's headlining slot at the 1992 incarnation of the festival. Though rumors that Grohl would be covering one of the band's tunes proved to be unfounded, he did dedicate a performance of recent Foo Fighters single "These Days" to his former bandmates, stating: "I'd like to dedicate this song to a couple of people who couldn't be here tonight. This one's for Krist and this one's for Kurt.''

- The vibe was radically different over at Odd Future's closing-night Leeds Festival performance, which saw the group once again courting controversy by dragging a bound-and-gagged blow up doll named "Kimberly" on stage and proceeding to beat the tar out of it whilst hurling some choice invectives "her" way. The spectacle - which followed Tyler, the Creator and Left Brain's tussle with security guards during the group's Reading performance the previous night - climaxed with Jasper Dolphin busting the doll's head open with his foot while proclaiming: "Sh** I just killed Kimberly." The group also performed some songs.

Thoughts on any of the above performances? Sound off below.
