Since the release of their “Big Me” music video in the mid-’90s, Foo Fighters have always been known to have a sense of humor while still being a solid alternative rock band who take their music seriously. These days not much has changed as the band is prepping a new album and started a contest to have fans direct each video for its 11 tracks.
A promo video (below) for the contest starring Kathy Griffin as well as members of the Foos has been released, which ask fans to submit their previous work in hopes of being selected to create a music video for one of the band’s new songs.
According to Grohl: “I had this idea that instead of going and spending a ton of money on one video made by a director who’s done it a trillion times, why not split up the cash and give it to the fans and let the fans make 11 different videos for the band? So that, instead of just making one video as the album comes out, we have 11 different videos for the 11 songs on the record.”
