IN a field outside Berlin, in a corrugated Portakabin to be precise, the world’s biggest band are warming up.

It’s an hour before stage time at Lollapalooza and after some stressful travelling the band are ready to rock.

“It was a panic to get here as our plane was cancelled,” says band leader Dave Grohl. “But also hilarious because after all these years of travelling to festivals and shows, we didn’t realise there was a curfew at the airport we fly from.”

Drummer Taylor Hawkins, sporting a moustache (“It’s my porn star look”), adds: “The most rock ’n’ roll thing about this band is our tour manager, Gus. He gets us places. We are dorks without him.”

I meet Grohl and Hawkins again the morning after their epic headline show.

It was a late night and both are tired after little shuteye, but are still cheery.

“I can’t sleep when I’ve been on stage,” says Grohl. “I think I’ve only had three hours in total.”

Grohl, 48, and Hawkins, 45, are here to talk about Concrete and Gold, their ninth studio album.

It arrives after what has been quite THE summer for the band — Grohl, Hawkins, bassist Nate Mendel, guitarists Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear and keyboardist Rami Jafee. In June they finally headlined Glastonbury, two years after Grohl fell 12 feet off a stage in Sweden breaking his leg. Their headline slot at Glastonbury 2015 had to be cancelled.

Grohl says: “I didn’t just snap the bone, I dislocated it and tore all the ligaments.

“But we had 60 more shows and after I came out of surgery we sat in my hotel room and had a meeting to decide what to do.

“Everyone wanted to make sure. I was OK and that we weren’t pushing it too hard.

“So I said what would it be like if I had to sit in a ridiculous f***ing throne every night and play to thousands of people?

“To me it was fresh and exciting and though I couldn’t walk and it was a bit uncomfortable, it was fun for the band.”

Hawkins says: “The shows went well and dude, once you had that stupid scooter thing, you was getting to planes faster than we were.”

But at the end of this tour the band went home and decided it was time to take a real break.

Not only did an exhausted Grohl have to learn how to walk again. He was drained mentally and physically.

He explains: “We’ve always been pretty good at knowing when to stop, not only for our sake but the audience too.

“I imagined there would be a solid year of no music but I didn’t realise how bad I’d damaged my leg until I was with a physiotherapist three months after I had surgery.

“I’ve got a beautiful life outside of the band, but music really is what keeps my f***ing blood pumping.

After about six months, with no band or no music, I really fell into a depression where I felt empty.”

Hawkins admits: “We were worried about Dave. I never question any decisions by him because he seems to have the best rock ’n’ roll compass for our band. But this time it was, ‘Oh f***. We might be done. I was really worried we might be over.”

It was starting work on what would become Concrete and Gold that “saved” Grohl.

Heading back into his studio and starting to play music again saw Grohl begin to heal.

He says: “When you take music away you don’t realise how important or necessary it is until it’s gone.

“Dipping into my studio and playing around with the drums. Then returning a week later and picking up the guitar all helped.

“Time went by until I really felt that fire of recording.”

It was six months into the Foo’s hiatus that Grohl found he had the song that would change things for him.

Hawkins says: “Dave came over to my house and said very timidly, ‘I have a few things’.

“He had the riff for (first single) Run and we wrote the bridge right there. But I knew it was good as my wife heard it through the windows and said it was good.

“Then the record just grew.”

Concrete and Gold is an album about “hope and desperation” with Beatles-esque harmonies and heavy Metallica riffs.

Hawkins says: “Before I joined the band, the thing that I loved about them was they were like if Steve Miller was playing with Led Zeppelin. I loved Dave’s voice.”

Grohl explains: “It was also the reason we worked with producer Greg Kurstin. The first album by his band, The Bird and The Bee, blew my mind.

“I was obsessed by it and then I met him in a restaurant. I knew him as a musician and then he told me that he was working with Adele and Beyonce and I thought ‘oh my god he’s a world class producer’.

“We became friends but I’d never considered working with him as I felt him working with us would be a demotion for him.

“But once I started thinking about it, I’d wanted to mix those two dynamics and take the rumble of a band like Motorhead with the glaze of the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds all over it.

“I knew Greg would be up for the challenge considering he’d never made a heavy rock record before. In order for us to keep the engine ticking, you have to do things that you don’t know how they will turn out.”

There are some pretty big names who make guest appearances on Concrete and Gold.

Sir Paul McCartney drums on standout track Sunday Rain, The Kills’ Alison Mosshart sings back-up on single The Sky Is A Neighborhood and La Dee Da, Boyz To Men’s Shawn Stockman appears on T-Shirt and the title track, while Justin Timberlake is the surprise big name on Make It Right, which the band kept hush hush about until recently.

Grohl says: “Justin asked could he sing on our record? And Taylor and I looked at each other and went, ‘OK’.

“He said he didn’t need to be credited and just wanted to be able to say he was on a Foo Fighters’ record.

“It’s incredibly flattering because I always presume people don’t like our band, so when he said he liked us I was really kind of blown away.

“We decided we wouldn’t tell anyone it was Justin to see if anyone could figure it out. People thought it was Adele or Lady Gaga, then Taylor Swift.”

Over the years Grohl has become firm friends with Macca and on the new album he plays drums on Sunday Rain, the track Hawkins sings lead vocals on.

Grohl adds: “It’s always nice when Taylor sings on a Foo Fighters record because it changes the sequence of the band. Taylor said I should play drums but we knew Paul was in town.

“We’ve played together a few times and recorded together. Whenever he is in Los Angeles we get dinner and hang out.

But our engineer Darrel — who had recorded with Paul before — said ‘Oh you should get Paul to do the drums’.

“A lot of people don’t realise he has played the drums before and he’s played on a bunch of Beatles songs.”

Hawkins laughs: “I have to admit that it’s hard to get over the Santa Claus/God thing. That you’re watching Paul McCartney play drums. He just wants to jam and have fun with the boys.

“He literally sat down, started playing, and wouldn’t even let Dave finish. He just played and it was f***ing great. It was magic.”

Album opener T-Shirt was written after — and inspired by — Donald Trump’s inauguration as President.

Grohl says: “I watched the infamous press conference — the one that turned into a screaming match.

“You can’t ignore what’s happening in the world. We have seen a reality show host become President.

“It’s just a symptom of American culture that someone who is of no worth, with fame and a brand, is considered to be the leader of the free world, which is f***ing ridiculous.”

“You need to watch the film Idiocracy,” says Hawkins. “It’s a movie about the world in the future and the President is this really p***ed off reality TV star. It’s unbelievable.”

Hawkins is wearing a St Cecilia T-shirt, named after the free EP download released in November 2015 and dedicated to the victims of the Paris terrorist atrocity.

How did the attack at the Bataclan at a show by their friends Eagles of Death Metal affect them?

“It didn’t make sense,” says Grohl. “That night in Paris, we were playing in Italy. We walked out on stage and played this amazing show and an Italian friend of ours, who is mutual friends with Eagles of Death Metal, called to say there were terrorists at an Eagles of Death Metal gig and they are killing everybody.

“When it affects someone that you know, it changes everything. It scared the s**t out of everybody. To see it happen and to realise that people are capable of doing something so horrible . . . but you can’t really let it change the way you live your life.

“The hardest part is trying to explain it to your kids. My daughter Violet called and asked me to not go to Paris — where we were due to play days later — and to come home.”
