2005 HAS BEEN, in the words of guitarist Nate Mendel, 'really fucking chaotic' for the Foo Fighters. First, there was In Your Honour, recorded in a new studio, which they built themselves (606, hidden out in the scrublands of California, and designed after Abba's legendary Polar studio in Stockholm, where Led Zeppelin recorded Presence).
