Foo Fighters drummer doesn't want documentary released

Tue, 05 Apr 2011

Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins has revealed to NME Magazine he'd rather the 'Back and Forth' documentary wasn't released.

"I wish we wouldn't put the fucking movie out to be honest because I'm not really comfortable with the public sort of openness, I'm really not," he explained.

"Trying to look at it from the outside and judge it and have some sort of perspective, I think it's actually way more interesting than I thought a movie about us was going to be," he added, admitting that the documentary does have merit and was made well, "I think it's done well and yes, I think because there's points where you do feel uncomfortable, that’s what makes it interesting for people. Any rock documentary or any documentary, the centrepiece is the hard part, the painful part."

"We almost broke up and I almost died and all those crazy things have happened. And that's what people want. If they're gonna watch a fucking movie about you they don’t just want some guys sitting around and going, 'Ooh, it was really great and then we were all so happy and then we played this show and things just got better and we made lot of money.' That would be boring and unrealistic." he concluded.
