Nirvana: Last News

“Studio 666” — their new horror comedy that opens in theaters on Friday — Dave Grohl’s gang took unlikely inspiration from another band: Spinal Tap.“In our way, it was like this ultimate gore ‘Spinal Tap,’” Grohl told The Post, referencing the fictional band’s 1984 mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap.” “It was one of the most inspiring rock ’n’ roll films because it made everyone take a look at themselves and think, ‘Oh s—t, I hope I’m not like that.’ And so it was kind of a manual of what not to do — or else you might become Spinal Tap.”But unlike the pretentious, fictitious band Spinal Tap, Foo Fighters have proven to be the real deal — and then some — with hits such as “Learn to Fly,” “Best of You” and, of course, “Times Like These.” The 11-time Grammy-winning group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last October in its first year of eligibility.After the Foo Fighters found themselves enshrined in the pantheon of rock immortals, “Studio 666” — in which the band plays and pokes fun at themselves during some haunted sessions — might seem like a strange choice for an encore. But the project developed organically while the Foos were recording their 10th studio album, 2021’s “Medicine at Midnight,” at a mansion in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles.“It is something I never wanted to or expected to do.

The Batman was inspired by Kurt Cobain, directly pointing to the late Nirvana frontman’s struggles with drug addiction.In a new interview with Esquire, Reeves – who wrote, directed and produced the forthcoming superhero film – explained that he was first drawn to Nirvana in the early stages of the film’s development, citing ‘Nevermind’ cut ‘Something In The Way’ (which appears in the first trailer for The Batman) as a particular source of inspiration.He said the track’s thematic basis was “part of the voice of [Batman’s] character”, musing: “When I considered, ‘How do you do Bruce Wayne in a way that hasn’t been seen before?’ I started thinking, ‘What if some tragedy happened [ie: Wayne sees his parents murdered] and this guy becomes so reclusive, we don’t know what he’s doing? Is this guy some kind of wayward, reckless, drug addict?’“And the truth is that he is a kind of drug addict. His drug is his addiction to this drive for revenge.
