Welcome to my Foo Fighters shrine! I've seen many people make pages like this, where they spill their heart out about something they love, and I thought I'd make one for my favorite band, Foo Fighters! This page has some information about why I love the band, how I found out about them, and other cool stuff like fun facts, music, and history! Have a good look around!
I alawys have trouble answering this question. I like them for many reasons that I can't exactly pin, but there's a few I can say for sure.
I haven't heard a lot of bands from the 90's rock era, but I always felt like F.F. had a really unique style that itched my ears the right way. Other bands like Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana are very good, but there's always a nitpick I have about them. One of those nitpicks is definitely the "every 90's band singer" syndrome, if you know what I mean. I don't mind it at all, but its not unique. Dave Grohl is a really good singer, and sometimes the 90's singer comes out (especially in his earlier songs), but its not prominent.
Funnily enough, from my favorite anime; JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
I'm not too in touch with the Foo Fighters community, so don't blame me if some of this stuff is obvious ( 〃．．)
Dave Grohl, the singer of Foo Fighters, was the drummer for Nirvana! Everyone that has heard a song by either band knows that, though. BUT! did you know about...
When Dave was in Nirvana, he (obviously) knew how to play the guitar along with the drums, and he wanted to make some music of his own. So, in his pass time, he would record some songs and later release them in a 1992 album, Pocketwatch, under the psuedonym Late! You should really check it out!
Did you know that Dave Grohl met Johnny Park? When asked about the song, Grohl responded, "Oh, my God, that song's about 15 different things! The only reason why it's called 'Hey, Johnny Park!' is because when I was young, my best friend was this kid who lived across the street from me called Johnny Park and we were like brothers from the age of 5 to 12. I haven't heard from him since I was about 14 years old and I thought if I named a song after him he might call."
However, on the Fooboard (the forums from the old foo fighters website), a fan who got to talk to Grohl said that they met up right after the album was released!
A foo fighter is slang from World War 2 that means UFO. When Foo Fighters started, Dave Grohl performed all the instruments himself. To create the impression of a full band, he chose a plural band name.
