In the words of Jack Bauer - "DAMN IT!!!!" I guess we won't be seeing the Foos in 2010. I'm still kicking myself for getting rid of my tickets for their show in Montreal last year.

Foo Fighters taking a break

By WENN.COM

The Foo Fighters are taking a break from each other after 15 years.

Frontman Dave Grohl reveals the band's new greatest hits record marks the end of an era - and it's time to take a hiatus.

He tells CNN, "I think the band decided to take a break, not because we wanted to stop making music, but because we thought the world needed to take a break from us.

"This greatest hits record, that's the end of something... It's time to move on into this next chapter or another phase. Maybe it will be different in whatever way. I don't know.

"It's nice to not know what's going to happen next. We're going over to do some shows in Europe, but, after that, it's like I don't even know when I'm going to see these guys. So it's kind of weird."

But Grohl does know where he wants to record the rock act's next album: "I do know I want to try to make the next record in my garage. I'm serious."

Rumour of "hiatus" has been around for like a year, so it's not really a surprise for me. Especially when most of them are already deep into other projects (Them Crooked Vultures, The Real McCoy Band, Sunny Day Real Estate,Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders,etc).

I was there last year in Montreal, that show is in my Top 5 of all time. Everlong was EPIC!!! I just hope they pull out a "Red Hot Chili Peppers", and come back after just 1 year of hiatus.

It's the first time I've ever heard the band mention anything about it.

I could care less, i dont like the foo fighters, and if Dave Grohl putting the band on hiatus is what it takes for something better to come out then i hope the hiatus is permanent.
