More sounds from the upcoming 'Sound City Reel to Reel' album have been released. Rocker and film director Dave Grohl has teamed with Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick and bassist Scott Reeder to create 'From Can to Can't,' a soaring rock ballad that will transcend one back to 2002 when everything on the radio was thick with heartache power chords and thin on melody.
If it seemed to you like 'Cut Me Some Slack,' Paul McCartney's collaboration with the surviving members of Nirvana that was unveiled during the 12-12-12 benefit, came out of nowhere, don't feel like you're out of the loop -- according to Dave Grohl, that's really the way it happened.
After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 18, Dave Grohl's 'Sound City' documentary will be released to theaters in cities across the country.

The band Dave Grohl has assembled to support his 'Sound City' documentary wouldn't fit into the legendary studio at one time. John Fogerty and Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks are just two of Grohl's Sound City Players. The group will make their live debut on Jan. 18 at Park City Live.
Paul McCartney's collaboration with the surviving members of Nirvana wasn't as unlikely as it seemed on Wednesday night. Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic joined the Beatle to close the 12-12-12 concert at Madison Square Garden.

One of Los Angeles' most famous studios is the subject of a documentary directed and produced by Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. 'Sound City' will tell the distinguished history of the studio with some help from some classic rockers who made some of their most famous works there.
We bet Courtney Love is fun at parties.
In the last month alone, she's said the Muppets "raped" the memory of her late husband Kurt Cobain, then she called out 'The Muppets' co-writer and star Jason Segel on her Twitter feed, and finally she used the same medium to publicly accuse Cobain's former Nirvana bandmate Dave Grohl of hitting on her 19-year-old daughter, Frances Bean.
Love doesn't apologize for much, but now she's at least backtracking on those last comments.
You can never go home again. But you can go back into the studio with the tried and true producer from your glory days, provided you are Dave Grohl and Krist Novocelic.

Had a great gig at the El Rey last night, and spent today recording with Dave, Krist and special guest!”
The Foo Fighters are streaming a 1995 live set online -- but, proving everything old is new again, they aren't doing it with a new-fangled mp3 download. They're using what's been dubbed an "interactive cassette tape."
