He’s got the classic LSD: lead singer’s disorder,” Dave Grohl is on talkative form, telling me about the character he plays in Studio 666, the new horror film he’s made alongside his band Foo Fighters. “That whole, ‘I don’t need these guys. I can do this all by myself,’ attitude. I have never felt that way for one second in this band. They’re my guys, and I surely would never kill them and eat them.”
Studio 666 sees the six-piece (playing themselves) enter an LA mansion to record their 10th album — much like they did when they set out to make last year’s Medicine at Midnight. Unfortunately for the fictitious Foos, their chief songwriter (Grohl) is bedevilled by writer’s block — something that only a Faustian pact with a long lost (mysteriously murdered) Nineties band can fix. A screwball horror-comedy ensues.
