Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has admitted the band’s forthcoming feature length documentary Back and Forth would not be released to the public if he had his way.

Hawkins told NME he doesn’t feel comfortable with the personal insight on the group, and would rather the film not be made available. “I wish we wouldn’t put the fucking movie out to be honest because I’m not really comfortable with the public sort of openness, I’m really not,” he said.

Hawkins did though concede the movie will be interesting for those on the outside, and admitted the parts which make him feel uncomfortable will be the most interesting for fans.

“Trying to look at it from the outside and judge it and have some sort of perspective, I think it’s actually way more interesting than I thought a movie about us was going to be,” he explained.

“I think it’s done well and yes, I think because there’s points where you do feel uncomfortable, that’s what makes it interesting for people. Any rock documentary or any documentary, the centrepiece is the hard part, the painful part.”

Foo Fighters’ new album ‘Wasting Light‘ is due for release on April 11th.
