Dave Grohl to Host His Own HBO TV Show
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has officially been granted his very own TV show, set to air on HBO this coming winter.
The show will expand on the idea behind Grohl's Sound City documentary; it will show the guitarist/drummer visiting and using several iconic studios — and chatting with the owners.
Over the course of the show, Grohl will pay a visit to Steve Albini's (Nirvana, Page & Plant) Electrical Audio studio in Chicago; Don Zientara's Inner Ear studios (Fugazi, Henry Rollins' S.O.A., Grohl's Scream) in Washington, D.C.; Rancho De La Luna studios (QOTSA, Arctic Monkeys, Mark Lanegan) in California, and other legendary studios in New York, Seattle and Nashville.
Featured musicians will include Kiss frontman Paul Stanley, Nancy Wilson of Heart, the Eagles' Joe Walsh and Dischord Records boss/Minor Threat and Fugazi frontman Ian MacKaye.

Jackson is an Associate Editor at GuitarWorld.com. He’s been writing and editing stories about new gear, technique and guitar-driven music both old and new since 2014, and has also written extensively on the same topics for Guitar Player. Elsewhere, his album reviews and essays have appeared in Louder and Unrecorded. Though open to music of all kinds, his greatest love has always been indie, and everything that falls under its massive umbrella. To that end, you can find him on Twitter crowing about whatever great new guitar band you need to drop everything to hear right now.
