Dave’s present band, Foo Fighters – which includes Pat -
played a secret show in California, debuting new songs from their upcoming
album, but during Tuesday’s (21.12.10) set he surprised everyone by inviting
bassist Krist to the stage.
The band then played the song ‘Marigold’, Dave’s sole
composition for Nirvana – which broke up in 1994 after the suicide of frontman
Kurt Cobain.
The show at the small Paladino's club was packed with around
500 people including celebrity actors Ryan Phillippe and Amanda Seyfried, and
saw the Foo Fighters debut new material including tracks called ‘Dear
Rosemary’, ‘White Limo’, and ‘Back and Forth’.
Krist worked with Foo Fighters on their as yet-untitled
latest album, playing bass and accordion on one song, and the album was
recorded by Butch Vig, who produced Nirvana’s genre defining ‘Nevermind’ album,
which Dave has previously said was something of a “weird” experience.
"To be in the same room as Krist and Butch for the
first time in so long was a little weird. But it was cool that we survived. As
he was leaving here I said in a cute voice, 'I love you, Krist', and he said in
a similar voice, 'I love you, too!' "
Dave has also said the album will the “heaviest” Foo
Fighters have ever recorded, promising: “In the 14 songs, there's not one
acoustic guitar, there's not one in the house."
