Grohl plays drums and sings; Smear adds guitar. A founder of The Germs and Nirvana's touring guitarist in their final years, Smear has played alongside Grohl in Foo Fighters since the band's early days. Taylor Momsen keeps the verses, Grohl joins on the chorus, and in the bridge the two trade lines in a call-and-response, over heavier guitars than on the original recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">\"'About You' is one of my favorite songs on the record, so I wanted to do something special. I called Dave and Pat and asked them if they'd lend their magic to it,\" Momsen said. \"It was an amazing time in the studio making music, there's nothing better than jamming with friends.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"About You (Bonus Version)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SpQ3bYuRJ3c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"About You (Bonus Version)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SpQ3bYuRJ3c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">'Dear God' came out June 26 via Fearless Records, produced by Momsen, guitarist Ben Phillips and Jonathan Wyman, who also handled engineering and mixing. All 14 songs were written by Momsen and Phillips, with bassist Mark Damon and drummer Jamie Perkins on the recording. The album was preceded by 'For I Am Death,' released in August 2025, and 'When I Wake Up,' from March of this year, along with the previews 'Love Me' and 'Dear God.' 'About You' sits eighth on a tracklist that opens, splits and closes with three short pieces: 'Life Evermore Pt. 2,' 'Pt. 3' and 'Pt. 1,' in that order. It reached No. 6 in the UK, No. 2 in Scotland, No. 4 in Austria and No. 7 in Germany and Australia. \"It's almost ripped from my diary, so there's a vulnerable brutality to this record,\" Momsen told Kerrang! of the album, the band's first since 'Death by Rock and Roll' (2021). \"It's taking my entire past and present and moving it into my future,\" she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Formed in New York in 2009, the band debuted with 'Light Me Up' (2010), which included 'Make Me Wanna Die' and 'Miss Nothing,' and followed with 'Going to Hell' (2014) and 'Who You Selling For' (2016). With 'Dear God' out, The Pretty Reckless spent much of 2026 in stadiums as the opening act on AC\/DC's 'Power Up' tour, which reached Mexico City's Estadio GNP Seguros in April. At one of those dates, Momsen was bitten on the leg by a spider before going on stage; doctors in Mexico treated her with an injection against the venom, and the singer later described it in a video on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">On that tour, The Pretty Reckless were unable to play two dates because of scheduling conflicts, and Foo Fighters took their place, including in St. Louis, Missouri, where they played a surprise set. At the tour's final show, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Grohl joined AC\/DC to sing 'Highway to Hell.'<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The band set out in November on a European and UK headline tour. It opens November 9 at La Riviera in Madrid and November 10 at Razzmatazz in Barcelona, moves through Milan, Prague, Berlin, Cologne, Amsterdam, Paris, Bristol, Wolverhampton and Manchester, and closes at London's O2 Academy Brixton on December 1 and Glasgow's Barrowland on December 3. In late January, The Pretty Reckless share the stage with Foo Fighters again as guests at two shows in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"712\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66375\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46.png 712w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-293x293-1.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-390x390-1.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66375\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46.png 712w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-293x293-1.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-390x390-1.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-46-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pretty Reckless\u00a0public\u00f3 una versi\u00f3n adicional de &#8216;About You&#8217;, canci\u00f3n de &#8216;Dear God&#8217;, su quinto \u00e1lbum de estudio, con la participaci\u00f3n de\u00a0Dave Grohl\u00a0y\u00a0Pat Smear, de\u00a0Foo Fighters.\u00a0Grohl\u00a0toca la bater\u00eda y canta;\u00a0Smear\u00a0suma la guitarra.\u00a0Smear, fundador de\u00a0The Germs\u00a0y guitarrista de\u00a0Nirvana\u00a0en sus \u00faltimas giras, acompa\u00f1a a\u00a0Grohl\u00a0en\u00a0Foo Fighters\u00a0desde los primeros a\u00f1os de la banda.\u00a0Taylor Momsen\u00a0conserva las estrofas,\u00a0Grohl\u00a0entra en el coro y en el puente ambos intercambian l\u00edneas en un juego de llamada y respuesta, con guitarras m\u00e1s pesadas que en la grabaci\u00f3n original. &#8220;Quer\u00eda hacer [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":66376,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2232,260],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-cd-reviews","category-new"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66374"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66377,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66374\/revisions\/66377"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
