New Foo Fighters: Hear the Album, Watch an Exclusive Documentary Clip

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.

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
