With all eyes on the presidential election results, a welcome distraction will be this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live. Earlier this week, Foo Fighters were announced as the musical guest, joining host Dave Chappelle on the episode. In the teaser, Dave Grohl threatens to “call it…” but it’s not what you think. “You know what Dave? […]

Dave Grohl has a confession to make: at the end of Foo Fighters’ lengthy tours, he feels like calling it quits. Worried? Don’t be.

Over the weekend, Dave Grohl answered 1o-year-old phenom Nandi Bushell’s challenge to a drum-off and played Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” — which he said he hasn’t played since originally recording it.
