Drummer, guitarist, songwriter and all-round good guy Dave Grohl never seems to take a day off work. Taking a break from touring with Foo Fighters for the ‘Wasting Light‘ album, he’s returned to the studio.

The first fruits of his new project is a collaboration with 80s hair metal band Ratt. It is said the track will be part of an upcoming release. Grohl remains tight-lipped at this stage, but Ratt’s Stephen Pearcy seems somewhat excited.

Back in 2004 Grohl helmed an all-star release under the name of Probot, which saw the ex-Nirvana star jamming with various metal icons including Max Cavalera, Celtic Frost’s Tom G Warrior and longtime friend Lemmy.

REAL GONE says: Although Dave’s plans are somewhat under wraps at present, we hope this Ratt collaboration is the beginning of another Probot-styled release with lots of 80s glam bands in tow!
