In Foo Fighters news, 'Lazaretto' singer Jack White took stabs at Dave Grohl and the rest of the band while performing a show in Fenway Park, Boston. White started his 'rant' saying "most performers don't use microphones anymore, you know,". He continued by saying that the Foo Fighters' reason for having two guitarists "playing the same parts" is that one can cover the other's mistake. He even called out Rolling Stone's for their latest cover with Taylor Swift, mocking them by saying they publish articles like "15 outfits that will blow your mind that Taylor Swift wore this month".
He wrapped up his speech with: "OK, I'm officially supposed to stop now, because this is becoming a Kanye West-esque rant. Because apparently, nowadays, you aren't allowed to speak to your own fans about anything, lest it be a rant."
So forget ISIS, forget the war in the Middle East, forget any problems at home, forget gay marriage, forget everything you ever thought about everything. This not a rant, this is just me saying, "Hello Cleveland!"

The band is currently promoting their 8th studio LP, coincidentally recorded in 8 different studios, in 8 different cities across the States will be accompanied by Sonic Highways, the documentary set to broadcast on HBO, which will document the process of the making the album.
