Foo Fighters will commemorate the group’s 15th anniversary with the Nov. 3 release of ‘Foo Fighters Greatest Hits’ on Roswell/RCA.
The group recorded two new songs for the set – ‘Word Forward’ and ‘Wheels,’ which the quartet debuted at a July 4 barbecue honoring military heroes at the White House – with producer Butch Vig at the Foos’ own 606 studio. They’ll join Grammy Award-winning songs such as ‘The Pretender,’ ‘All My Life’ and ‘Learn To Fly,’ along with ‘Best Of You,’ ‘Times Like These,’ ‘My Hero’, ‘Everlong’ and others.
The release of ‘Greatest Hits’ will come at a time the individual Foos are dispersed to other projects. Founder and leader Dave Grohl is working with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones and Josh Home of Queens of the Stone Age in Them Crooked Vultures, whose debut album is due out in October. And bassist Nate Mendel is touring with the reunited Sunny Day Real Estate, which is also releasing remastered versions of 1994’s ‘Diary’ and 1995’s ‘LP2,’ each with two bonus tracks.
