Foo Fighters is a five-person alternative rock band fathered by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, established in Seattle, Washington in 1994.
Members Dave Grohl, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, and Taylor Hawkins have been bringing their brand of hard rock to the world since the release of their debut album Foo Fighters in 1995. A long list of EPs, studio albums, and world tours later, the band is still picking up fans from all across the globe.
The start of Foo Fighters was not, as many bands are, a meeting of minds — rather, it was the blossoming of a single mind. Lead singer and guitarist Dave Grohl had famously joined Nirvana in 1990 as a drummer, but frequently took his guitar along on tours to write songs. Too shy to share them with bandmates Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic, he instead recorded his own material in private. In 1992 he released an album of demos called Pocketwatch.
When Cobain passed away in 1994, Grohl faced a crossroads: He could accept the numerous offers to play drums for acts like Pearl Jam and Tom Petty, or he could go his own route. He chose the latter, saying: “I would rather do what no one expected me to do.”
In October 1994, Grohl entered Robert Lang Studios in Shoreline, WA and recorded 15 of his original songs. Astoundingly, Grohl sang every vocal and played every single instrument on the album with the exception of a single guitar part on “X-Static”, which the Afghan Whigs’ Greg Dulli contributed. The whole process took five days. Grohl released the album as Foo Fighters, a name he later said is the “stupidest f***ing band name in the world.” Though he hoped to remain anonymous, record labels quickly developed interest in the project.
Capitol Records eventually signed the album. When it came time to form a band, Grohl pulled in drummer William Goldsmith and bassist Nate Mendel, both of whom had recently departed from the band Sunny Day Real Estate. Pat Smear came on board as a second guitarist.
The Foo Fighters’ debut gig was February 23, 1995 at Arcata’s Jambalaya Club. Grohl at first refused to play large venues or to conduct interviews, but caved after the album’s release in July 1995. Things took off from there with successful single releases and months of international touring.
The Foo Fighters toured through early 1996 before returning to the studio to record their sophomore album. Grohl wrote all the songs and got assistance from his band in arranging the parts. Grohl later found he was unsatisfied with the drumming, so he scrapped the drum tracks and re-recorded them himself, which caused Goldsmith to quit the band.
The Foo Fighters needed a drummer, and quickly. He contacted Taylor Hawkins, who had drummed for Alanis Morisette, for a recommendation. Hawkins had one ready: himself. The band released The Colour and the Shape in May 1997 with Hawkins debuting. It followed up with a year of heavy touring culminating in the Reading Festival and Glastonbury Festival.
The Foo Fighters’ alternative rock sound has been cultivated from the band’s love of various genres and other artists. The band is as much influenced by Dave Grohl’s former band-mate Kurt Cobain’s minimalist rock aesthetic as it is by the decadence of Queen and the melodic purity of bands like The Beatles.
Many of Foo Fighters’ hit songs, such as “Everlong” and “The Pretender”, have distinctive melodic cores which balance out the harder edge of the band’s thrashing rock sound. Gentle verses lead into powerful, shredding choruses, which encapsulate the songs' emotion.
The Foo Fighters have received a staggering 25 Grammy nominations over the past 18 years, and have managed to take home 11 awards, including four for Best Rock Album. The band has won accolades from all over the globe, with to albums such as 2011’s Wasting Light debuting at number one in 12 countries.
Sadly, long-time drummer Taylor Hawkins died on March 25, 2022, the day the band was supposed to perform at the Estéreo Picnic Festival. The band instead turned the stage into a candlelit vigil for their departed band member and friend. On September 3, it played a tribute concert to Hawkins at Wembley Stadium in London, UK and at Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
The Foo Fighters continue to play to sold-out crowds all over the world, managing to pack out small venues and huge arenas alike. In 2008 the band played two sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium in London, England, each night rocking the audience 86,000 people. With more material on the way, the Foo Fighters’ hard-earned success and popularity are not set to diminish any time soon.
Leia maisSo I very recently reviewed an epic night with the Foo Fighters in DC for the 4th of July. Everything came together perfectly for the Foo's 20th Anniversary Show. Dave Grohl and company played the hits, as well as their debut album almost in its entirely. You can read the full review here.
But somehow, that show wasn't the Foo concert I was most excited for this year. No...that would be their huge Boston gig at the Beloved Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. (I'm a huge Sox fan) I had purchased presale tix to this back in November, and it was a long 8 months waiting for the highly anticipated weekend.
When it finally arrived, Boston was ready for it. Prior to the show, I walked over to a 'pop up shop' selling Foo Fighters memorabilia, only to realize their was a 20 minute wait to get into the store. The Fenway show was sold out with approximately 35,000 people in attendance. And this was just night 1 of 2 in Boston.
Following opening sets by Boston favorites Mission of Burma, and Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the Foo's came on right at 8pm. As was similar to the DC show, the first half was completely based on Foo Fighters greatest hits. The first 90 minutes was single after single spanning the entire Foo catalogue.
Best moment came in the middle of the set when Grohl crutched down to the end of stage and received some acoustic help from his guitarists. As they did in DC, Foo's chose to perform two of the best songs acoustically with 'My Hero' and 'Times Like These.' The volume at which the Fenway crowd sang 'My Hero' was a true highlight of the night, and may have been the best song.
Lead singer Dave Grohl definitely took some time to talk to the Fenway crowd. He explained how this was the Foo's first stadium tour, and how that was a long time coming. He listed past venues played in Boston, and what the city means to him. He also told a great story of losing his High School Battle of the Bands competition and jokingly asked what the band that won was doing tonight. This was prior to covering Queen's 'Under Pressure.' Overall, Grohl was in a chatty and pleasant mood.
With the injury still bothering Grohl, the guys skipped leaving stage for the encore and played straight through until about 10:45 (just shy of a 3 hour show, and passing the 10:30 curfew). The final closer was 'Best of You,' giving the Fenway crowd one more chance to sign along with the rock band.
The only negative I would say is that since the first half of the show was so focused on the hits, the second half seemed a bit lacking. With the exception of 'Best of You,' they had nothing left to play in the last hour that could generate the same reaction and sing a long as the first 90 minutes. Maybe they could have just spaced out the most popular tunes more.
But really it was an awesome set and even more of an epic night because of the venue. Fenway is the ballpark I grew up seeing Sox games at, so it was definitely a pretty special experience to come back and see one of my favorite bands play there. I won't be forgetting this one and look to see it towards the top of the 'Best Shows of 2015' list.
Concert Rating: 4.5 Stars
Have seen Dave Grohl solo, singing with his kids at the Fox Theater in Oakland for a UCSF "Notes and Words" benefit for very ill children. Amazing solo performance and moving to see him playing for his daughter Violet as she sang an Adele song. Tickets for show in San Jose in 2018 which was OK, but large arena (home of San Jose Sharks) and Cal Jam 2018. Cal Jam was very special as Dave, Pat, and Krist reunited to play a six song set of Nirvana songs, with John McCauley fronting for three songs and Joan Jett for three more. Only second reunion: first at Nirvana hall of fame induction; but this was the first at a concert open to us regular people. Made my spine tingle as much as if I could have attended a Beatles reunion. Dave was a monster on the drums, Pat killed it on the guitar, and Kris put forth his unique manner of playing bass. No bad locations at that venue. Pit, fixed seating, and lawn behind, so oldsters like me could sit during some of the warm up bands. Most recently saw the Foos at the Intersect Festival in Las Vegas this month. Less passion in this performance and while my favorite member of the Foos is Pat, he appeared intoxicated, totally spacing out at one point and cut off by Dave during his short solo for introductions. Wish he would skip the bottle of champagne on the stage. Did not like the Vegas venue, as in a very large tent with heavy smoking, excessive drinking, people holding up large signs blocking the view of many behind, and a nasty fistfight right in front of me with a drunk obnoxious guy getting the s**t kicked out of him by about 8 guys. Guess Dave did not see, as he is not tolerant of violence at this concerts. This was center stage about 10 people back, right in front of him. Had another very drunk woman come up and start grinding on me, looking as if she would vomit at any moment. Thankfully she left holding her mouth. I was not excited about the project of trying to find my way from front, center covered in her vomit. Vegas is a city of excess, and everything at this Amazon sponsored event seemed excessive. There were more bars than food stands. I was sick for a week from all of the smoke exposure. Hope they return to Cal Jam, keep indoor venues non-smoking, and definitely avoid the tent gigs.
Amazing, astonishing every other adjectives you can think off to describe something awesome.
Only a band like the Foo Fighters can make up a surprise concert 3 days before and sell out in the first hour that the tickets go on sale.
Dave Grohl, is a master of music and there is no doubt about it! His presence on the stage is unbelievable. Sure knows how to throw a party.
Me and maybe everybody just went with the idea of a Foo Fighters concert but we got so much more than that. Dave brought some of his friends to play along on his bash and boy where they great.
Guests like: Paul Stanley, Jakc Black and Kyle Gass (Tenacious D), Slash, David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, Perry Farrel, Lemmy Kilmister and others, like a surprise guess named Trombone Shorty and you guessed it, he jammed along the band with a TROMBONE! Was amazing, something new and even Dave said he didn't know how they could top that.
Dave was the best host EVER, he didn't rest for three and a half hours, the whole concert, he was kicking, screaming, shredding, running... NON STOP.

Words can barely describe the experience of a Foo Fighters concert. I've seen them again and again because to me, their shows are the epitome of a true Rock and Roll experience.
From the moment I walk into the stadium, I can feel the buzz and energy of the crowd as the anticipation of the beginning of the show is growing. And once the lights dim and the first chord of the first song (usually "Times Like These" or "All My Life") is played, the audience erupts and the show has begun. The Foos always put on such a loud and energetic performance, pulling the crowd into the show and causing a bit of a frenzy! They usually have an amazing light show that is timed to go amazingly with the music and it's that kind of detail that really pulls you into their performance – you might have to check if there's going to be strobe lighting before you go.
Dave Grohl is very fun and friendly with the crowd, taking the time to make jokes and have fun with those lucky enough to be on the front row (it's pretty hard to get that close though). If you go see them, you'll absolutely get your money's worth: the many times that I have seen the Foo Fighters they have always played a long set, close to 2 hours, which is awesome, as they have such a large catalog of music you're dying to hear. So by the end of the show, I always feel that I was able to hear all of my favorite songs!
By the time the show ends and I'm leaving the stadium, I'm completely exhausted, thrilled, pumped up and really happy about the experience. I generally don't have much of a voice left, from shouting and singing along – but even then, I'm already finding myself getting excited for the next time I get to see them play live!!! And then I hit the parking lot and there's the same energy among everyone leaving – it's a great shared feeling, but it's so clear that everyone had an amazing time!!
ONE OF THE GREATEST SHOWS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! The Foo Fighters has’t played a concert in Florida in 12 years and they had finally came. They played everything from their debut album all the way to their newest album Concrete and Gold. “All my Life”, “Run”, “The Pretender”, “This is a Call”, “Breakout”,and “Everlong” are some examples of what they played! Every song they played sounded crisp and clean. I prefer them live now over prerecorded stuff. Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, Taylor Hawkins, and the rest of the gang were great at hyping up the crowd. Having simple conversation with the crowd and simply making everyone feel right at home. They also out preformed themselves playing cover songs like “Blitzkrieg Bop” by the Ramones, Van Halen’s “Jump”, Alice Cooper’s “Under my Wheels”, and “Under Pressure” by Queen. The Foo’s had a spectacular set list and made it feel more than just a Foo Fighters concert. The band had little surprises here and there throughout the show like Taylor Hawkins with a crazy drum solo that lasted for about 5 minutes! The opening act, The Struts, were also very great and played their hearts out. If you never been to a concert or never seen the Foo Fighters live, then you need to make sure you get out of your way to see these guys! They’re aboslute killers on stage! You won’t regret it! FYI if it’s an amphitheater venue it’s 10 times much better the crowd is way more fun and you can let loose and dance your ass off!
Never seen Food before so was looking forward to Night 2. Arriving in Milton Keynes at 5pm I was hopeful of catching some of Royal Blood's set. However traffjc flow inbound was terrible and I lost 90 mins waiting on a dual carriageway in Milton Keynes on route to pre-booked parking at Stadium MK. When I finally parked the car there was a 20 min hike to the National Bowl. Sadly didn't see Royal Blood and missing the start of Iggy Pop - only hearing The Passenger & Lust for Life whilst on the inbound road
Iggy Pop was good giving older Stooges song like No Fun, 1969 and Nightclubbing as well as solo hits like Real Wild Child. He still has it in spades
Foos and Dave Grohl took to the stage a little early but the appreciative crowd were complaining. Dave was seated for the duration on a techno-throne looking like a dalek Davros-like base with Foos logo and a ton of flashing lights. His broken leg did not impact him in the slightest. He told stories that kept the crowd engaged.
The other members of the band were very tight musically and showed this in solos throughout the night. Taylor Hawkins (the drummer) in particular shone - playing & singing Queen's We Will Rock You
The "Set" was a run through of the Foo Fighters best of. The sound and light show was amazing. Now a Foos fan I would definitely see them again. Thanks
I saw the Foo Fighters at Firefly 2014. The show Dave and the crew put on was easily the best show I have ever seen in my life. You will experience amazing music from every album featuring extended versions of almost every song. If the music isn't enough for you, the rock star atmosphere of the Foo Fighters will be. Chris Shiflett broke his ankle before the show and played in a chair with as much style as Nate Mendel and Pat Smear. If you know anything about Taylor Hawkins, you know he can rock the hell out of a drum set... he can also sing and did a great job at it too.
If you're lucky enough, you might see the Foo Fighters transform into a bar band called 'The Holy Shits' that does covers of classic rock songs. For their 5 song encore (yup... 5) they played 'Schools Out' by Alice Cooper, 'Miss You' by The Rolling Stones, 'Aint Talkin Bout Love' by Van Halen, and 'Under Pressure' by Queen and Bowie followed by an amazing rendition of Everlong. If you appreciate rock music, or any music at all for that matter - go see the Foo Fighters. They're worth every penny and then some and you will remember it for the rest of your life.
Love love love seeing the Foo Fighters. Avidly follow news to get tickets each time they come. So happy I got GA Standing this time as with such a big venue seating would have been wasted. However even though I was standing & got within 3 meters proximity of Dave Grohl, the venue (Etihad Stadium) is just too big. With the roof closed (due to weather) the sound quality was ok, but not exceptionally loud. Next time I want to see them return to smaller venues with multiple dates. The podium stage did allow for many fans to get much closer than normal for some parts of the show & the screens were fantastic. As usual the Foos gave an awesome performance & best of all this time they did do material from every one of their 8 albums. I just wish the'd played more from the latest as thats probably the only time we'd hear those ones live. A shame that although they played "Outside", Joe Walsh was otherwise engaged less than an hours drive away. But of course Dave did a superb job of the guitar solo. They are true entertainers & I can't wait until they release more material & come back to these shores again.
What a-effing-mazing Foo Fighters Rock Show show at the Forum that was last night (9/21). The band was fantastic, Dave is a lunatic, TH is not human, and Pat and the boys were spot on and totally entertaining. Hits flowed one after the other in a fountain of awesomeness. The crowd was thoroughly committed - I've never heard a crowd sing every last lyric, every ohhh and ahhhh. It didnt hurt that we were on the floor at the rails - best "seats" I've ever had to a show. While it was a cool concept to bring Stevie Nicks onstage with Haim (who are these girls, and why were they up there), it was a mash-up that failed to work for me. Stevie looked frail, and her stumbling gait down the runway (did she hurt her leg or were her boots too heavy) was just painful to watch. At least it was only 2 songs (i'd rather more Jack Black). I love that Foo doesn't encore - they play till the cops kick them offstage - and you leave. My ears are STILL ringing, and I can't get the refrain "Something from Nothing" out of my head and the smile off my face... Thank you Foo Fighters and the Forum for a GREAT show.
Not as good as their 2011 visit, but still an awesome gig by any other standard. The end of tour set, plus Dave's round the world trip for his daughter's dance, & the subsequent food poisoning clearly took a toil on his voice. Taylor's voice was also hardly there when he tried to sing. Still, they soldiered on like the true rock stars that they are, and rocked the stadium. Set design was a clear improvement, with the wide layout instead of the long & narrow, which meant that the seated tickets up the back line had a better view instead of the "shitty seats" from last time, especially with the raised sound desk blocking most of the view from their previous visit. The rising middle stage was a very welcome surprise, especially from the middle of the standing area. Not a big fan of all ages family crowds in the free standing area, with no concept of regular mosh etiquette. Might get seated tickets next time. Not a huge fan of their new material either, but am glad they kept them to the barest minimum. Also looks like Dave has settled on his signature guitar, & it looks & sounds absolutely amazing!
