Dave Grohl is reportedly "bored" already by the idea of recording an album in just a studio. The Foo Fighters' frontman made the claim recently on Q magazine, after the band recorded their upcoming album "Sonic Highways" while travelling to eight different cities across the United States.

"Sonic Highways" is Foo Fighters' highly anticipated eight studio album, and its recording sessions took place in eight cities across the US while being filmed as part of an HBO series about the album' process of creation, according to Contactmusic.com.
After the new approach to their album-making, Grohl says he can't imagine making an album in the future, using a straightforward recording process.
''Ultimately, this is one hell of a f**king machine that's gonna spray this album everywhere...But you have to balance that with substance," Grohl told Q magazine.
Grohl said that what got Foo Fighters deeper into the new model of creating an album is because their love for people to learn as much as they want them to be entertained.
"More than a reality show, more than a live concert series. It's part of the reason that we got deeper into the concept, because we would love people to learn as much as be entertained," he added. "But I can't imagine just going into a studio and making another record. It seems so boring to me."
Grohl said each track on "Sonic Highways" was laid down in Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York and Washington, D.C. This was because he wanted for the band to seize the "relevance of music" in its regional form, according to Xpose Entertainment.
"Basically, the process is we come to a city and we spend a week and we start recording an instrumental, because I interview all of these different musicians from that city," Grohl explained. "I talk about the regional relevance of the music from that city, the cultural influence, that 'made-for-the-sound' of the music."
He added that in order to tell the history of a city's music, they went from one point to another until it became a song.
"There's no way that you can tell the history of a city's music in one hour, so we have to do it in a way that relates to the band and goes from point A to point B and becomes a song," he said.
Grohl directed a forthcoming documentary and short previews of the new Foo Fighters music and can be heard in its trailer. Each recording session also reportedly, included "local legends."
