The Foo Fighters' new LP Wasting Light – produced by Nevermind producer Butch Vig – hits stores April 12th, but you can hear a stream of it below. Cut entirely in Dave Grohl's garage, the disc is the heaviest work of the band's 16-year career. To promote the album, the Foos created a documentary about their career that hits select theaters tonight for one night only. It airs on VH1 this Friday night at 10 p.m. ET. Above, check out an exclusive preview from the film where the band discusses the build-up to their Wembley Stadium concert in the summer of 2008.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
