Foo Fighters are continuing their world takeover with a headline slot at next week’s T in the Park festival in Kinross, Scotland. Drummer Taylor Hawkins, for one, can’t wait.
“It's been a while since we last did T in the Park — 2005,” he noted to the Daily Record. “And I think we did it in 2002, as well. The Scots are definitely some of the wildest crowds around, there's no question about that. The dudes are real dudes — it's great. And I love Scotland, it's beautiful."
For Hawkins, playing to wild festival crowds is what it’s all about:
"It's always scary, but always fun. Every time I get on stage, it's do or die — that's the way I am."
The blond basher also reminisced about being asked to join Dave Grohl’s outfit back in 1997.
"I knew I liked the music and I wanted to be a part of it. I was going from band to band and doing whatever I could, at that point, just to keep working. And one of my favorite bands in the world was Foo Fighters. When I joined, I didn't know how long it was going to last. I was just like, 'All right, I'll join Foo Fighters, maybe just for this record and that would be it.’”
