Foo Fighters introduce new drummer with joke AI video

After recently playing their first shows with their new drummer, Ilan Rubin, who replaced Josh Freese, fans have been officially introduced to the new Foo Fighters member via a joke AI video.

An evidently AI-generated Dave Grohl tells the camera, "Hey everyone. It’s been a while but I’m happy to announce that Foo Fighters are coming back to bring you that 100% real, raw, human element of rock and roll,” before holding up a setlist of song titles that look like hieroglyphics.

The AI-generated members all tease that surprises are coming while using words like “genuine,” “true,” and “human.”

“And wait till you meet our new drummer,” Grohl adds, before the video cuts to a ten-armed Rubin, continuing the comedic intent.

Rubin also shared his thoughts about performing in the band yesterday, writing on Instagram, “Last night with @foofighters could not have been a better time. After keeping my head down for a couple wild months and throwing myself into the material, that first show was such an incredible release of energy. I’ve been taken aback by all the positivity and support, and I just wanted to say thanks! Excited for all the volume and sweat that lies ahead.”
