FOO FIGHTERS GREATEST HITS TRACK LIST AND DELUXE EDITION CONTENTS REVEALED CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION WITH TWO NEWLY RECORDED TRACKS IN STORES NOV. 3
Friday September 25, 2009
The track listing and contents of Foo Fighters' Greatest Hits have been confirmed, for both a 16-track standard edition as well as a deluxe version featuring a DVD encompassing a select videography of the band's classic clips as well as live performances captured at Wembley Stadium, Hyde Park, the intimate Skin + Bones theater tour and more--not to mention a few possible treats for Easter egg hunters. The deluxe edition will also include a 28-page bound book featuring numerous never before seen photos chronicling the band's 15-year history. Both the standard and deluxe configurations, as well as a collectors 180 gram vinyl edition, will be released November 3 on Roswell/RCA.
In addition to the dozen-plus anthems that have charted the band's rise to Grammy winning, multi-platinum, arena and stadium headlining status the world over, Foo Fighters' Greatest Hits features two newly recorded songs available only on this compilation: The new single "Wheels" and "Word Forward"--both recorded especially for this collection at the band's own fabled 606 studio complex with producer Butch Vig. "Wheels" is also the subject of the latest soon to be classic Foo Fighters video, appropriately included on the deluxe DVD and reuniting the band with director Sam Brown who lensed the unforgettable clip for "The Pretender."
Greatest Hits covers every phase of the 15-year-and-counting run that began with 1995's Foo Fighters, with its classic singles "This Is A Call" and "Big Me," and has since yielded six platinum-plus records and as many Grammys . The double-platinum The Colour & The Shape, originally issued in 1997 and since reissued in a deluxe 10th anniversary edition is recalled here not only by "Monkeywrench," "Everlong" and "My Hero," but by the first ever studio recording of "Everlong (acoustic)." Consecutive Best Rock Album Grammy winners There Is Nothing Left To Lose (1999) and One By One (2002) are represented by two pairs of classics respectively: ""Learn To Fly" and "Breakout," and "All My Life" and "Times Like These," while 2005's two- disc electric/acoustic 10th anniversary opus In Your Honor yields the perennial FF final encore "Best Of You." The intimate 2006 acoustically augmented theater tour documented on the Skin + Bones album and DVD is commemorated here by that collection's title track.
Greatest Hits is completed by "The Pretender" and "Long Road To Ruin,"a double shot from 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, which earned the Foos their third Best Rock Album Grammy and set off the band's biggest ever headlining tour, which peaked with a two-night stand at London's Wembley Stadium attended by 165,000 fans-setting the venue's two-night attendance record-and immortalized on the 18-song Foo Fighters: Live At Wembley Stadium DVD.

Guitar Hero - Nirvana - Band Statement
Friday September 25, 2009This is a statement regarding Nirvana, Guitar Hero and the likeness of the late Kurt Cobain.
We want people to know that we are dismayed and very disappointed in the way a facsimile of Kurt is used in the Guitar Hero game. The name and likeness of Kurt Cobain are the sole property of his estate ñ we have no control whatsoever in that area.
While we were aware of Kurtís image being used with two Nirvana songs, we didnít know players have the ability to unlock the character. This feature allows the character to be used with any kind of song the player wants. We urge Activision to do the right thing in ìre-lockingî Kurtís character so that this wonít continue in the future.
It's hard to watch an image of Kurt pantomiming other artistsí music alongside cartoon characters. Kurt Cobain wrote songs that hold a lot of meaning to people all over the world. We feel he deserves better.

CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION FEATURING TWO NEWLY RECORDED TRACKS OUT NOV. 3
With 15 years, 6 platinum-plus albums and as many Grammys under their collective belt (not to mention sold out shows at Wembley Stadium, Madison Square Garden and the L.A. Forum), Foo Fighters will soon mark off yet another milestone in their ascension to quintessential American rock godhood: The band will release its first ever greatest hits compilation, the brilliantly titled Foo Fighters Greatest Hits, out November 3 on Roswell/RCA.
As ever, core Foo Fighters Dave Grohl (vocals/guitar), Taylor Hawkins (drums/vocals), Nate Mendel (bass) and Chris Shiflett (guitar) were not satisfied simply to compile a mixtape of the international smashes that have littered their mantlepieces with platinum plaques and golden statuettes and filled arenas and stadiums the world over: Foo Fighters Greatest Hits will feature two brand new tracks--"Wheels," which made its live debut at President Obama and the USO's July 4 barbeque at the White House honoring military heroes, and "Word Forward"--both recorded especially for this collection at the band's own fabled 606 studio complex with producer Butch Vig. The new tracks not only hold their own--and then some--alongside individual Grammy winners "The Pretender," "All My Life" and "Learn To Fly" and perennial Foo favorites "Best Of You," "Times Like These," "My Hero, "Everlong" and more, they both round out an overview of Foo Fighters' illustrious output to date and hint at future peaks yet to be charted.
For those unfamiliar with the musical genre known as rock n roll, Foo Fighters debuted with the 1995 album of the same name. The band's second record, the double-platinum The Colour & The Shape, was originally issued in 1997 and since reissued in a deluxe 10th anniversary edition. The third and fourth Foo Fighters albums, There Is Nothing Left To Lose (1999) and One By One (2002) , won consecutive Best Rock Album Grammy awards. In 2005, Foo Fighters celebrated the band's 10-year anniversary with the two-disc In Your Honor, which was followed by the intimate 2006 acoustically augmented theater tour documented on the Skin + Bones album and DVD. The most recent Foo Fighters studio album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace was released in 2007, setting the iTunes UK record for first week sales, earning the Foos their third Best Rock Album Grammy and sixth overall, and sweeping the Brit Awards' top international categories. The tour supporting ESP&G climaxed with the band's biggest ever headline engagement, a two-night stand at London's Wembley Stadium attended by 165,000 fans--setting the venue's two-night attendance record--and immortalized on the 18-song Foo Fighters: Live At Wembley Stadium DVD.
At the now historic Wembley shows, Grohl asked the crowd "How did this band get so f***ing big?" On November 3, Foo Fighters Greatest Hits will explain.
