From the album Wasting Light (2011)
“Bridge Burning” by Foo Fighters appears on 6 radio countdowns from 6 stations between 2011 and 2012. It was first released in 2011 on the album Wasting Light. Its best result is #50 on the WEQX Top 102.7 of 2012. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #77 alternative song of 2012.
"Bridge Burning" kicks off Wasting Light, the seventh Foo Fighters album, which Butch Vig produced and RCA released in 2011, and it comes through the door at full tilt. Dave Grohl sings lead and shares the guitars with Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear, three of them stacked over Nate Mendel's bass and Taylor Hawkins' drums, while Rami Jaffee adds keyboards. Grohl, Hawkins, Mendel, Shiflett and Smear split the writing credit.
It ended up as the album's last single, fifth in line and sixth in the UK, after Loudwire reported in March 2012 that the band would give it a proper push to radio. It also made the cut for the Madden NFL 12 video game soundtrack.
