Watch Foo Fighters perform on Saturday Night Live UK

Watch official footage of Foo Fighters performing on Saturday Night Live UK over the weekend.

To celebrate the release of their new album Your Favorite Toy, the rock legends appeared on the recently-launched UK edition of the iconic comedy show, tearing through Caught In The Echo and Child Actor.

In an interview with Apple Music / The Zane Lowe Show about the ethos behind the band’s latest material, Dave Grohl explained, “With this new record and this new stuff, every single song feels great. I think it’s because the way the songs were written, the way it was recorded, it’s kind of simple and direct. And it has more to do with the energy than any sort of proficiency. It’s like a vibe.”

You can enjoy that vibe with the two performances below:

In our 4/5 review of Your Favorite Toy, we said that, “Bands of a certain vintage often talk about wanting to make a record that sounds like a band simply playing in a room. Most of them suck. The authors have changed so much within themselves that stripping back just reveals what’s no longer there. Here, it’s the opposite, and Foo Fighters like this feel fresh, energised and essential.”
