Foo Fighters went back to the beginning for the latest performance in their week-long residency on Jimmy Kimmel Live. On Tuesday night, the band sprung for “This Is a Call,” the first single they released from their debut album Foo Fighters in 1995. The first stretch of this “This Is A Call” builds up to a raging, clap-along instrumental break.
Frontman Dave Grohl wrote the record in 1994 as an means of breaking away from the past and building something new. Your Favorite Toy followed 2023’s But Here We Are, the band’s first album since the death of their drummer Taylor Hawkins. In a review of the record, Rolling Stone wrote, “The band’s 12th album is the next chapter in that story of fighting through grief and looking forward.
Yet where its predecessor often had a reflective tone, their latest is about high-energy garage-rock catharsis, getting in a room and blasting away and letting the noise be your guide.”
