If there was any doubt that the band would continue after recent personal and line-up woes, he put them to rest last week, announcing the 12-date North American Take Cover stadium tour with Queens of the Stone Age.\u00a0They also\u00a0popped up\u00a0recently\u00a0via special <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/09\/foo-fighters-surprise-california-show\/\">small club shows<\/a> in the U.S., including a recent surprise set in San Luis Obispo.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody does big arena rock better than these two groups, but the Foos in-your-face energy is another beast altogether in an intimate setting. I\u2019ve been lucky enough to see them play a couple of tiny venue shows in the past (including the Dragonfly in Hollywood and the now-shuttered Spaceland in Silver Lake) and they blended the blissfully communal experience of a big concert with a no-frills jam feel, not unlike watching your friend\u2019s band at a backyard house party.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/11\/the-charlatans-on-grief-love-and-why-they-keep-going\/\">The Charlatans on Grief, Love, and Why They Keep Going<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/11\/anna-von-hausswolff-pushes-herself-towards-popular-songwriting-on-iconoclasts\/\">Anna von Hausswolff Pushes Herself Towards Popular Songwriting on \u2018Iconoclasts\u2019<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/10\/chat-pile-and-hayden-pedigo-team-up-and-get-dirty\/\">Chat Pile and Hayden Pedigo Team Up and Get Dirty<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On October 30, Grohl and bandmates Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, llan Rubin, and Rami Jaffee (who actually is a long-time friend of mine), shared this vibe, performing inside a circle of fans and cameras for Amazon Music Live, the streamer\u2019s post-Thursday Night Football concert series, livestreamed from a studio in Glendale, California.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the ground and in the round, the band whipped up hit after hit in a faithful fashion that nonetheless felt fresh and maybe more ferocious than ever thanks to the wildly invigorating rhythms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/07\/foo-fighters-new-drummer-2\/\">Rubin, who joined the band<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/05\/foo-fighters-josh-freese\/\">replace Josh Freese<\/a> this past summer. Rubin, 37, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Nine Inch Nails, making him its youngest living inductee ever. Freese, who toured with FF after Taylor Hawkins died, took Rubin\u2019s place in NIN, marking a curious musical swap. All three are\/were the best beat busters in the business, but after seeing Rubin\u2019s aggressive and giddy playing style in this up-close forum\u2014which recalls Grohl\u2019s Nirvana and QOTSA kit stylings\u2014it all sort of made sense. Sometimes it\u2019s all about chemistry, and the current line-up really has it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/10\/Foo-Fighters-Key-Art.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-647185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/10\/Foo-Fighters-Key-Art.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/10\/Foo-Fighters-Key-Art-340x191.jpg 340w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/10\/Foo-Fighters-Key-Art-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/10\/Foo-Fighters-Key-Art-498x280.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/figure>\n<p>The band did not play the new single, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/10\/foo-fighters-stadium-tour-new-song\/\">Asking for a Friend<\/a>,\u201d which was somewhat disappointing.
