In a recent interview with NME, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters talked about the spooky issues the band dealt with while recording their followup to 2017’s ‘Concrete & Gold’. The studio in a house where the band was recording had some issues the band simply couldin’t explain, they had to set up nest cameras, and Grohl can’t even tell the whole story for legal reasons.
“When we walked into the house in Encino, I knew the vibes were definitely off but the sound was fucking on,” said Grohl. “We started working there and it wasn’t long before things started happening. We would come back to the studio the next day and all of the guitars would be detuned.
“Or the setting we’d put on the board, all of them had gone back to zero.We would open up a Pro Tools session and tracks would be missing. There were some tracks that were put on there that we didn’t put on there. But just like weird open mic noises. Nobody playing an instrument or anything like that, just an open mic recording a room.”
“And we’d F***ing zero in on sounds within that. And we didn’t hear any voices or anything really decipherable. But something was happening.”
“It got to the point where I brought one of those nest cams that I still have at home, for when my kids would sleep in their cribs,” he added in the interview with Mojo. “I set it up overnight so we could see if there was anyone there or anyone was coming to f*** with us.”
Let’s just hope we get the whole ghost story in the future. Grohl and the gang had to postpone the first wave of 25th anniversary tour due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
