To celebrate the release of the new Foo Fighters album Concrete and Gold and a triumphant show at London’s O2 last week, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins gave an intimate and in-depth interview to Radio X’s Chris Moyles.
They covered everything from the inside story of the Foo Fighters pub, which embarrassing movie Taylor was watching when he got the call to become the band’s drummer and exactly how Justin Timberlake ended up on the new album.
Plus, you can find out why Chris Moyles was responsible for the Foos frontman almost getting beaten up! It’s unmissable.

No one ever says Taylor rules. He absolutely fucking rules. Top 5 rock drummers, completely underrated. Covers all pages of rock, technical and groovy. He compliments all aspects of the band. Some parts difficult to cover and most fun to play. Huge compliment.....

[@nateputerbaugh5709]

mrbucket75 It always blows peoples minds when you remind them he was the drummer on Jagged Little Pill

[@andy5000120]

Yes they do

[@willsk2499]

❣❣

[@mongac69]

His uniqueness is beyond people's comprehension

[@kennybenally7187]

Lars Ulrich did in the "It's Electric" interview he did with Grohl. Lars digs Taylor's drumming, 😁🤟

[@palomaprime4021]

i can't believe he's gone, like i actually cannot process it

[@mitchellhughes5180]

It feel like the end. I don’t know how they can go on without him or if they even should.

[@katenagaitis9774]

How can someone so beautiful die

[@stephaniepapaleo521]

I can’t either, I even cried at work, and I watch that and think he’s still here for a sec rip Taylor Hawkins ❤️

[@PurpleResey]

Same. I keep watching videos like this to get a glimpse of him, so somewhere in my mind I know he’s gone. My heart can’t absorb it though. I literally can’t believe it.

[@hays9008]

I have never been so upset over the loss of a musician. I feel like I have lost a long time friend

[@nealsoad]

There is something exceptionally awesome and now also so very very sad about watching Taylor sign Chris' guitar. To have that moment captured forever, but also to have that moment captured forever post Taylor's passing. The more time passes, the more upset I am becoming at the realization that this may be the end of an entire era of music. He was such a great person. I can't imagine what his wife and children are going through. To have one of the coolest people on the planet as your CARING father and then... gone. And for Dave and Pat(and nobody seems to care about Pat for some reason) to go through this again... I really hope they can find away to be whole again, again. 😢

[@stephaniepapaleo521]

You said it perfectly, rip Taylor 💔 a beautiful kind soul who just enjoyed music and shared his talents with so many and then to think this is an end to an era also is hard to accept

[@patton303]

There is now a huge hole in the world where Taylor Hawkins was. Just a sweetheart of a guy. Hilarious, and of course a phenomenal powerhouse drummer. I hate that he’s gone but thankful we had him as long as we did. Peace.

[@LysLovesAlpacas]

this is one of the first interviews i’ve seen where the interviewer actually treats taylor likes he’s a human being instead of just dave’s friend in the corner. love it. and of course dave and taylor have such a wonderful dynamic and chris meshes so well with them!

[@chillydill4703]

Hawkins manspread is on another level! Interview is just epic anyway. One of the best ever.

[@monumentsNmelodies]

My favorite thing about Foo Fighters interviews Is how Taylor looks when he's not the one speaking, you can't tell whether he can't wait for the interview to be over or If he just realized he left the coffee pot on In his hotel room LOL.

[@lbeck119]

Taylor has CHRONIC RBF!!!

[@laurad4003]

I’ve watched this interview so much the last 2 weeks (been watching all my fave T interviews) and the part that chokes me up is when Chris says “look at you two” at 31:09 just Taylor and Daves chemistry and bond is prevalent throughout this interview. They’re so in sync with each other and really were to quote Dave “a twin flame” soulmates isn’t always in a romantic sense and Taylor and Dave definitely were. Gonna miss Taylor’s beautiful light and smile and incredible talent and Dave and Taylor’s wonderful friendship 🖤

[@brandimccarty2588]

Very well said. 🥹

[@southerngraceglamour]

I couldn’t agree with this more. They were so in sync and absolute soulmates. I hate that Dave has lost this.

[@garethcouhig6055]

I agree 👍🇮🇲

[@alewis8765]

Watching this for the 2nd time, less than a week after the world lost Taylor. I'm so saddened that we won't get more interviews like this.

[@fat69]

"Foo Fiightas" ~Christopher Walken

[@sheribecker3183]

That was classic! 😂 I have to agree with Dave that it should annunciated be “the wings” Paul McCartney and THE wings

[@fingerbang8256]

foo FIGHtas...

[@nicolemorys3943]

🥰

[@bungle3912]

@@sheribecker3183 It’s just Wings. Calling them ‘The Wings’ would be like called Oasis ‘The Oasis’.

[@Rightkangur]

I fucken love these kinds of interview's. When it's not just repeating everything that everyone asks anyway and just chilling, having a banter etc. Great job!

[@Misteryowl]

Which interviews do you like?

[@jeeither]

Christopher Walken impressions kill me every time. Tears squirted out of my left eye from laughing.

[@SAwan-ru1ie]

It's so nice to see how they're genuine Soundgarden fans and often reference Soundgarden and Cornell.

[@alexanderalbergottie6999]

"you're alright with sex" "Yeah im pretty good at it" LMFAO 23:35

[@volutedmetal8543]

Alexander Albergottie Reminds me of a Them Crooked Vultures interview where this Australian interviewer was like "So it's all sex, drugs, and rock n roll" and Josh goes "It was more than six drugs," and Dave was absolutely dying

[@daviddryden8088]

I'm here because Taylor died today. RIP Taylor. You will be sorely missed.

[@Jboy19881]

Daves Christopher Walken impression is on POINT!

[@katwat6983]

Dave and Taylor, I love you both for the people you are. Your music takes me to a place that I wanna be forever. I saw you at jones beach and it blew my mind.

[@churchofsighandthology]

I can't believe he's gone, he deserved this life so much. Talk a bout a man with the heart of a giant

[@azzParker1983]

Who in the world would dislike this video? The Foo's, radio x and Chris moyles.... what are you expecting?

[@azzParker1983]

Revolver I guess the description is a little misleading....

[@RB747domme]

Revolver I guess just jealous people who weren't sitting in that room with Foo Fighters. Who can't count Foo Fighters as their good friends. Or you don't get to hang out with Dave's friends and co. at a bar in La, Or London. And backstage at festivals. Oh and get VIP tickets to Foo gigs. Or who are as rich and successful as Chris. Or who have a million listeners a day listening to them talk on the radio, loving what they do. So yeah, the word jealous pretty much sums it up really doesn't it. Now without mentioning Dave Berry, Chris Evans or Grimmy, name one British DJ who's done a really good interview with Foo Fighters recently, similar to this one, who are loved by millions? Now I don't listen to Radio X that much. I can't say I ever listened to Chris Moyles on Radio One that much either. I don't really have a lot to love him for or hate him for. I just can't stand it when people come on YTbe and say oh blah blah is a cunt blah blahs a cunt.. For no reason whatsoever. I thought this interview was quite informative, amusing and good to watch. And why call him lardy? Dave Grohl is fatter than Chris Moyles is. But oh wait, it just so happens that Chris is the larger one lol. Twats.

[@montaguemetal3416]

Dave and Taylor are so funny together. You can totally see what they would be like to just hang out with. They really are just like kid brothers who are both totally hyperactive and just absolutely doing everything just to have as much fun as they possibly can!! And they are in one of the best and biggest bands in the history of music! It's just not fair how some people are just destined for such an amazing life

[@catrionagarde4410]

☹

[@markyncole]

Dave: Thanks for the Whiskey. Chris:Have you tried it? Dave:Yeah I have... Chris: And? Dave: Well I believe it might be(smells Whiskey)It might be a 12 year....(tastes Whiskey)maybe 18... Taylor: Why don't you get some new stuff?

[@jcdenton4911]

HAHA! HE SAID THAT IN THE VIDEO!! I JUST WATCHED IT AND HE SAID THAT!! YOU JUST TYPED OUT THE EXACT THING THAT HE SAID!! HAHA! CLASSIC MARKYNCOLE! HAHA BRILLIANT CLASSIC!!

[@cormacoconnell414]

‘I had to go to France for the weekend’ …… ‘I’m sorry’ Very funny. Back watching this again after a few years, Dave and Taylor were great together

[@mindfulskillmerchant]

RIP Taylor - currently binge watching so many foo's stuff right now - loved this interview 💙

[@annabel5976]

Rest peacefully, T. 💔

[@ryn5907]

31:03 they're like a married couple who've been together for 60 years

[@illwill1337]

Easily the best recent interview with (the) Foo Fighters :)

[@carolinesmith8171]

Briliant , Dave & Taylor seem so relaxed . Chris did a great interview nice to hear something different 👏

[@GPigTV]

Wicked interview. Huge Chris Moyles fan and massive Foo Fighters fan.

[@RB747domme]

Revolver yep. That's the Chris Moyles who gets to interview Foo Fighters. When you don't. lol. Where I was sitting it looks like Dave Grohl had a bit more lard on him than Chris Moyles. Strange that no one called him Dave lardy Grohl waste of space.

[@RB747domme]

MrJamininja Dave Grohl is a good mate of his, meaning that obviously Dave Grohl has no taste in Friends. Meaning that Dave Grohl has no taste. Which is kind of why I am wondering why you are here even? If you don't like the Foo Fighters or Dave Grohl why are you watching an interview!??

[@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335]

@MrJamininja man ur a piece of fucking dried up dog shit

[@TrystanDavies2911]

Does moyles actually think before he speaks sometimes? When he’s talking about driving through France and saying he has to hear the album before he talks with them, kind of makes it sound like he’d only listen to the alum because he’s going to interview them. Dave’s sideways glance to Taylor at 19:44 articulates this haha

[@lanne71]

In my next life, I am coming back to play in a band with Dave Grohl x

[@mayemcdonald9111]

lanne71 I want to sing with the band.

[@JamesMaheriv]

lanne71 but what if he comes back as lady Gaga?

[@wendieking4184]

lanne71 he’ll have a different name but he shines through.

Be careful what you wish for.

[@kassandra5449]

This band is so adorable. So true and i can't believe about 😥 Taylors passing. He was so 😪 happy and proud into the band. So, so sad, that we see 🙈them never. Dave is the authentic man ever. 😥 Love Taylor and miss you so much! 💔💓💓💓🥁😭

this is therapy now .memories are the hearts souvenirs.

[@georgeseif102]

No way in the world did I ever think Dave liked The Bird and The Bee. Made me smile. What great taste in music he has. Probably a Zero 7 fan as well.

[@Mary-ew4ng]

Old favourite, I love these guys so much. 🖤

[@stevans]

That fucking Walken impression....amazing

[@Jboy19881]

Sam Evans absolute highlight of the interview

[@FooFighter201]

You can actually see that part from the SNL they were on in their documentary Back and Forth. It's gold lol

[@tahsinsabah833]

I’m just watching Taylor this whole time

[@willsk2499]

the beast

[@sevson89]

LOVE that they left the end of the interview in!! 45 mins well spent!!

[@sheribecker3183]

I absolutely love this! ❤️ I love how Dave encourages and suggests for Chris learn to play guitar. Dave will sign the first half of his signature on Chris’s guitar. Then requests that Chris plays it and sings before he signs the other half next time! 🤘

[@TheJamie6666]

When I first heard the new album I was like what the fuck is this..it is so different but it is growing on me fast..The song The Line is beautiful.

[@villain3131]

JAMIE LESTER took me a couple of listens but I’m really liking it now . I like that they did change it up a bit .

[@wossonjohn85]

definitely a grower, love Dirty Water, especially the end!

[@nateputerbaugh5709]

JAMIE LESTER Not including Wasting Light, which is epic, it's the first album of theirs in a long time where it feels like every song needed to be on that specific record. Most of the rest are great songs but could go on any any other Foos record. This has it's own identity

[@thescowlingschnauzer]

"The Carpenters on acid" - yes, that's exactly what the Bird and the Bee is.

[@kasturichakraborti7535]

I love Taylor. His spirit speaks to me.

[@kerrbam]

Great album and interview. Sunday rain already a underated song

[@Ingachan1977]

Please never get divorced, Dave and Taylor! :'(

[@darrenmorgan870]

I think Taylor was saying the producer at the beginning just sat back to see how they worked together on songs, then as he understood them he adjusted so he could start to put the bits together till each tune sounded like the way he heard it in his head, once each track is finished they can all see if it works, as they talk ABOUT MTV cribs which I,ve just watched and yes it was brilliant, it was of its time, late 90s, perfect, his yard and pick up was perfect for him,

[@katestrange]

Have been watching interviews with Foo Fighters and just bands in general for 20+ yrs and that was my favourite, even more so when the interview ‘cut’. Loving these video interviews Chris is doing, still can’t believe that it’s only got 29k views. Who’s next?

[@tia4370]

one year later im still just as hurt as the day i found out he passed

[@kmmk292929]

Dave, make more music documentaries. MORE!!!!!

[@valenshelby8693]

When they started talking about their wives being excited about JT on the album I fucking lost my shit! “Come on, honey. Make some cupcakes! Bring’em down!”

[@bassmonsteradsit7160]

I just ran across this. Made me tear up seeing Taylor. Such a GREAT, shoot from the hip, off the cuff vibe for this interview. Dave and Taylor are awesome as always. Love it and now sub'd!

Can not wait for the Foo Fighters BBQ cook book!!!!

Now I wanna hear La Dee Da with the sax track so badly!

[@volutedmetal8543]

Tai E Sax on the Beach would've been an even better name as well! But that sax solo would've been fantastic

Best interview for this record yet.

Ah, Taylor and Dave... 😢

[@boneav83]

This is one of the best interviews i've seen, along with the Q and A with Virginia Grohl. If The Foo's ever do open up a bar and grill, it has to be called Dave Grihls.

Food biters or maybe Food Lighters

I fucking love those two.

It's always fuuny when Dave makes the impression of their manager.

[@simao_samouco]

32:25 funny how Dave is telling the story and as soon as the phone starts playing he just stops talking and both he and taylor lean in towards the phone

[@gemee1]

One of my favorite interviews of all times.

I could watch this all day, love the interview! So chill...

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Has anyone noticed that there's only 2 members of the Foo Fighters? Dave and Taylor play all the instruments on their albums, they hire actors to stand on stage and mock playing the guitar for their live shows.

[@arobedrt2]

Such a laid back interview, loved it!

love this guys...

Dave Grohl trying to keep track of which camera he is meant to be looking at is my favourite part of this interview

That was fucking quality.

[@kimberlykay1495]

I love the bird and the bee!!!

[@paulateetree8437]

Great Interview. These guys really connected.

[@gabiballetje]

Funny how Dave Grohl is Kurt Cobain, as in, he seems like the bigger brother to Taylor kind of like Kurt was to him. Meanwhile Dave underestimating how good he is, though in somewhat different ways. They have their own style lyrics wise and playing wise, but still. And then you see how in some ways similar Taylor is to him, drumming, singing, attitude. Just, good thing there are not the depressive and drugs undertones, or so it seems at least. I may be wrong, but i just get that vibe. Just, that mustache, it has to go :P 21:38 "Just the tip"

[@Blisteryn]

Kurt Cobain never seemed so close to Dave. Dave seems to be a better bandmate.
