Dave Grohl: Foo Fighters' New Album Inspired By ABBA And The Bee Gees

April 4, 2011
Dave Grohl: Foo Fighters' New Album Inspired By ABBA And The Bee GeesDave Grohl has revealed that Foo Fighters new album 'Wasting Light' has been inspired by ABBA and The Bee Gees.

The frontman said both acts song-structuring techniques had been influential on the album, which has been described as Foo Fighters' heaviest to date.

"I love anthemic choruses, that overwhelming feeling of release that you can connect with," he told the Daily Star.

"So whenever I thought I had a big enough chorus for a song, I would use that as the pre-chorus and then I would try and write something even bigger, like they did."

'Wasting Light', Foo Fighters' seventh studio album, is released this month, although fans can already hear it on Foo Fighters' Soundcloud page.
