The DVD will capture 18 tracks from the band’s June 6 and 7 performances, including the Foos jamming with Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones on “Rock and Roll” and “Ramble On”.

Pretty cool if you ask me.

Here’s the tracklisting for Foo Fighters: Live At Wembly Stadium:
‘The Pretender’
‘Times Like These’
‘No Way Back’
‘Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)’
‘Learn To Fly’
‘Long Road To Ruin’
‘Breakout’
‘Stacked Actors’
‘Skin And Bones’
‘Marigold’
‘My Hero’
‘Cold Day In The Sun’
‘Everlong’
‘Monkey Wrench’
‘All My Life’
‘Rock And Roll’
‘Ramble On’
‘Best Of You’

For now enjoy a rough video of “Rock and Roll” from June 7 at Wembly Stadium.

The package will most likely look something like this: “I’ll Stick Around”, “Big Me”, “Everlong”, “Monkey Wrench”, “My Hero”, “Learn to Fly”, “Breakout”, “All My Life”, “Times Like These”, “Best of You”, “DOA”, “No Way Back”, “The Pretender”, “Long Road To Ruin” and hopefully some non-album tracks like “Baker Street”, “The One”, and/or “Darling Niki”.

Honestly, the only way I would buy this would be if it came with a DVD of all the band’s videos and some other special features.

Although, I remember reading a year or so ago that the Foos were working on a greatest hits compilation and that they were recording some new tracks for it. So, that could be another exception for me buying this.

Anyways, fans shouldn’t worry about the Foo Fighters calling it quits just yet, since most of the band members have stated that a new album is in their near future.

For now enjoy a beautiful acoustic version of “Everlong”.

The event will be for VH1’s Rock Honors, which will take place on July 12 at the Pauley Pavilion on the UCLA campus in L.A. This will be the third year for Rock Honors, but will be the first to focus on only one band.

Pearl Jam, the Foos and Lips will each perform before The Who close out the show. More performers, presenters, etc. are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for this once in a lifetime show go on sale June 6 for members of the Who’s fan club, known as the Wholigans, and then a public on sale date set for June 8. If you can’t make it to the show, don’t fear, it will be broadcast on July 17 at 9 p.m. on the all the Vh1 channels.

This is very, very, very cool. I had a feeling that Pearl Jam would be involved, but kind of thrown off by the Lips and the Foos. But, who cares? This is going to be an awesome show. I’m jealous of anyone that can make it there.

For now, enjoy some Pearl Jam related Wholigans.

Here’s a cool little video montage of the band throughout the years, set to the tune:

Mendel stated that the band are using time during their sound-checks to mess around with the new tunes, which could be lead to the follow up to last year’s Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace…which I still say is their best album yet.

However, Mendel didn’t get our hopes up too much, because he also said that he doesn’t know when the band will hit the studio. After-all, the Foos will be on the road for pretty much the rest of this year and they will obviously take a break after that.

I can’t wait for a new Foo Fighters album, but they just released Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace last September, so I can wait for a bit.

The Foos won Best Rock Album for their awesome Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, as well as, Best Hard Rock Performance for “The Pretender”.

The Foos were also nominated for Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Rock Song. But I’m sure that the band isn’t complaining, since they now have three Best Rock Album Grammys (the other two album being One By One and There Is Nothing Left To Lose).

Kudos to the Foo Fighters for a job well done.

The former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman is one of my favorite musicians around, and I love Zeppelin too, so this sounds like a dream come true. It would just be sick. Grohl is hands down on the best drummers out there and I think he could handle himself pretty well with Zeppelin.

But…would this actually happen? Would die hard Zeppelin fans welcome him as the replacement for Bonham? A better question would be if the remaining members would actually let Grohl in on the fun?

We have to remember that Zeppelin called it quits after the death of Bonham and it always seemed fitting that his son Jason would be the only choice as a replacement.

Personally, I don’t see this happening. Dave is awesome, but I think that this is just a boyhood dream of playing with his idols. I think a better solution would be having the Foos open up for Zeppelin (if they actually do tour) and maybe have Dave sit in on a couple of songs with them.

The Foos have been nominated for some pretty big awards, such as Record of the Year (for “The Pretender”) and Album of the Year.

Dave Grohl and company are also nominated for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song, again for “The Pretender”.
