'''Foo Fighters''' is an [[United States|American]] [[alternative rock]] band formed by singer/guitarist [[Dave Grohl]] in 1995.<ref name=AMG>Erlewine, Stephen Thomas. [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Btoge4j371way "Biography"]. Allmusic.com. Retrieved on [[April 28]], [[2006]].</ref> Grohl formed the group as a one-man project after the dissolution of his previous band [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] in 1994. Prior to the release of ''[[Foo Fighters (album)|Foo Fighters]]'' in 1995, Grohl drafted [[Nate Mendel]] (bass), [[William Goldsmith]] (drums), and [[Pat Smear]] (guitar) to complete the group. Goldsmith and Smear left after the recording of the group's second album ''[[The Colour and the Shape]]'' (1997). They were replaced by [[Taylor Hawkins]] and [[Franz Stahl]], respectively, although Stahl left prior to the recording of the group's third album, ''[[There Is Nothing Left to Lose]]'' (1999).
[[Chris Shiflett]] joined as the band's second guitarist after the completion of ''There is Nothing Left to Lose''. The band released its fourth album ''[[One by One]]'' in 2002. The group followed that release with the two-disc ''[[In Your Honor]]'' (2005), which was split between acoustic songs and harder-rocking material. Foo Fighters released its sixth album ''[[Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace]]'' in 2007. Over the course of the band's career, three of its albums have won [[Grammy Award]]s for [[Best Rock Album]], and all six have been nominated for [[Grammys]].
==History==
===Formation and debut album===
Dave Grohl joined the [[Aberdeen, Washington]] [[Grunge music|grunge]] band [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] as the group's drummer in 1990. In order to occupy himself during tours, he took a guitar with him and wrote songs. Grohl held back these songs from the band; he said in 1997, "I was in awe of [frontman [[Kurt Cobain]]'s] songs. And intimidated. I thought it was best that I keep my songs to myself."<ref name="Foobulous">di Perna, Alan. "Absolutely Foobulous!". ''Guitar World''. August 1997.</ref> Instead, Grohl occasionally booked studio time to record demos, and even issued a cassette of some of those songs called ''[[Pocketwatch (album)|Pocketwatch]]'' under the pseudonym "Late!" in 1992.<ref name="Alien parking">Bryant, Tom. "Alien Parking". ''Kerrang! Legends: Foo Fighters''. 2007.</ref>
Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home on [[April 8]], [[1994]], and Nirvana subsequently disbanded. Devastated, Grohl considered entering college, getting a regular job, and at some points giving up music altogether. Grohl received offers to work with various artists, and almost accepted a permanent position as the drummer in [[Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers]]. Ultimately Grohl declined and instead entered a studio in October 1994 to record twelve of the forty songs he had written.<ref name="Alien parking" /> With the exception of a guitar part on "X-Static" by [[Greg Dulli]] of the [[Afghan Whigs]], Grohl played every instrument and sang every vocal on the tracks.<ref name=AMG /> "I was supposed to just join another band and be a drummer the rest of my life," Grohl later said. "I thought that I would rather do what no-one expected me to do. I enjoy writing music and I enjoy trying to sing, and there's nothing anyone can really do to discourage me." Grohl completed an album's worth of material in five days and handed out cassette copies of the sessions to his friends for feedback.<ref name="Alien parking" />
[[Image:NateMendel2.jpg|thumb|150px|float|right| Nate Mendel.]]
Grohl hoped to keep his anonymity and release the recordings in a limited run under the title "Foo Fighters", taken from the [[World War II]] term "[[foo fighter]]", used to refer to [[unidentified flying object]]s.<ref name="Alien parking" /> However, the demo tape circulated in the music industry, creating interest among record labels.<ref>Strauss, Neil. "[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CE7DE1338F93AA35750C0A963958260&scp=2&sq=Foo+Fighters&st=nyt The Pop Life]". ''The New York Times''. [[March 5]], [[1995]]. Retrieved on [[May 25]], [[2008]].</ref> Grohl formed a band to support the album. Initially, Grohl talked to former Nirvana band mate [[Krist Novoselic]] about joining the group, but both decided against it. "For Krist and I, it would have felt really natural and really great", Grohl explained. "But for everyone else, it would have been weird, and it would have left me in a really bad position. Then I really would have been under the microscope."<ref>Mundy, Chris. "[http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/foofighters/articles/story/5938151/cover_story_invasion_of_foo_fighters Invasion of Foo Fighters]". ''Rolling Stone''. [[October 5]], [[1995]]. Retrieved on [[May 25]], [[2008]].</ref> Having heard about the disbanding of [[Seattle]]-based [[Emo music|emo]] band [[Sunny Day Real Estate]], Grohl drafted the group's bass player, [[Nate Mendel]], and drummer, [[William Goldsmith]]. Grohl asked [[Pat Smear]], who served touring guitarist for Nirvana after the release of its 1993 album ''[[In Utero]]'', to join as the group's second guitarist.<ref name="Breakout">Bryant, Tom. "Breakout". ''Kerrang! Legends: Foo Fighters''. 2007.</ref> Grohl ultimately licensed the album to [[Capitol Records]], releasing it on his new record label, Roswell Records.<ref name="Alien parking" />
The group played its debut show at a keg party in February 1995. Grohl refused to do interviews or tour large venues to promote the album.<ref name="Breakout" /> Foo Fighters undertook their first major tour in the spring of 1995, opening for [[Mike Watt]]. The band's first single "[[This Is a Call]]" was released in June 1995,<ref name=AMG /> and its debut album ''[[Foo Fighters (album)|Foo Fighters]]'' was released the next month. "[[I'll Stick Around]]", "[[For All The Cows]]" and "[[Big Me]]" were released as subsequent singles. The band spent the following months on tour, including their first appearance at the [[Reading Festival]] in [[England]] in August.<ref name="Breakout" />
===''The Colour and the Shape''===
[[Image:Taylor Hawkins1.jpg|thumb|left|[[Taylor Hawkins]] replaced original drummer [[William Goldsmith]] in 1997]]
After touring through the spring of 1996, Foo Fighters entered a studio in [[Woodinville, Washington]] with producer [[Gil Norton]] to record its second album. While Grohl once again wrote all the songs, the rest of the band collaborated on the arrangements. With the sessions nearly complete, Grohl took the rough mixes with him to [[Los Angeles]], intending to finish up his vocal and guitar parts. While there, Grohl realized that he wasn't happy with how the mixes were turning out, and the band "basically re-recorded almost everything".<ref name="Foobulous" /> During the L.A. sessions, Grohl played drums on some of the songs. Goldsmith said Grohl did not tell him that he recorded new drum parts for the record and, feeling betrayed, left the band.<ref>Roberts, Michael. "[http://bestof.miaminewtimes.com/1998-12-03/music/bring-back-that-sunny-day/2 Bring Back That Sunny Day]". ''Miami New Times''. [[December 3]], [[1998]]. Retrieved on [[May 28]], [[2008]].</ref>
In need of a replacement for Goldsmith, Grohl contacted [[Alanis Morissette]]'s touring drummer [[Taylor Hawkins]] to see if he could recommend anybody. Grohl was surprised when Hawkins volunteered his own services as drummer.<ref name="Foobulous" /> Hawkins made his debut with the group in time for the release of its second album, ''[[The Colour and the Shape]]'', in May 1997. The album spawned the singles "[[Monkey Wrench (song)|Monkey Wrench]]", "[[My Hero (song)|My Hero]]", and "[[Everlong]]". <!-- The version of "Walking After You" released as a single was not from TCATS - it was a completely different recording. -->
Pat Smear announced to the rest of the group that he wanted to leave the band to pursue other interests. Four months later in September 1997 at the [[MTV Video Music Award]]s, Smear simultaneously publicly announced his departure from the band and introduced his replacement, Grohl's former [[Scream (band)|Scream]] bandmate [[Franz Stahl]].<ref name="Kerrang 1997">Johnson, Lisa. "Classic interview: October 1997". ''Kerrang! Legends: Foo Fighters''. 2007.</ref> Stahl toured with the band for the next few months, and appeared on two tracks that the band recorded for movie soundtracks, a re-recording of "[[Walking After You]]" for ''[[The X-Files (film)|The X-Files]]'' and "A320" for ''[[Godzilla (1998 film)|Godzilla]]''.
===''There Is Nothing Left to Lose''===
In 1998, Foo Fighters traveled to Grohl's home state of Virginia to write music for its third album. However, Grohl and Stahl were unable to co-operate as songwriters; Grohl told ''[[Kerrang!]]'' in 1999, "in those few weeks it just seemed like the three of us were moving in one direction and Franz wasn't". Grohl was distraught about the decision to fire Stahl, as the two had been friends since childhood.<ref name="Burn away">Beebee, Steve. "Burn Away". ''Kerrang! Legends: Foo Fighters''. 2007.</ref> The remaining trio of Grohl, Mendel, and Hawkins spent the next several months recording the band's third album, ''[[There Is Nothing Left to Lose]]'', in Grohl's Virginia home studio. The album spawned several singles, including "[[Learn to Fly]]", the band's first single to reach the US Hot 100.
Before the release of the album, Capitol president Gary Gersh was forced out of the label. Given Grohl's history with Gersh, Foo Fighters' contract had included a "key man clause" that allowed them to leave the label upon Gersh's departure. They subsequently left Capitol and signed to [[RCA Records|RCA]], who later acquired the rights to the band's Capitol albums.<ref name="Burn away" />
[[Image:Chris Shiflett.jpg|thumb|right|[[Chris Shiflett]] joined Foo Fighters as a touring guitarist before becoming a full member]]
After recording was completed, the band auditioned a number of potential guitarists, and eventually settled on [[Chris Shiflett]], who previously performed with [[No Use for a Name]] and [[Me First and the Gimme Gimmes]]. Shiflett initially joined the band as touring guitarist, but achieved full-time status prior to the recording of the group's fourth album.
That same year, Foo Fighters established a relationship with rock band [[Queen (band)|Queen]], of whom the band (particularly Grohl and Hawkins) are fans. Guitarist [[Brian May]] added a guitar track to Foo Fighters' second cover of [[Pink Floyd]]'s "[[Have a Cigar]]", which appeared on the soundtrack to the movie ''[[Mission Impossible 2]]''. When Queen was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] in March 2001, Grohl and Hawkins were invited to perform with the band on "[[Tie Your Mother Down]]", with Grohl filling in on vocals for the late [[Freddie Mercury]]. In 2002, guitarist May contributed guitar work to "Tired of You" and an outtake called "Knucklehead". The bands have performed together on several occasions since, including [[VH1 Rock Honors]] and Foo Fighters' headlining concert in [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]].
===''One by One''===
Near the end of 2001, the band reconvened to record their fourth album. After spending four months in a Los Angeles studio completing the album, Grohl spent some time helping [[Queens of the Stone Age]] complete their 2002 album ''[[Songs for the Deaf]]''. Once the Queens of the Stone Age album was finished, Grohl, inspired by the sessions, decided to reconvene Foo Fighters to rework a few songs on their album. Instead, they re-recorded nearly all of the album (save "Tired of You") in a ten-day stretch at Grohl's studio in [[Virginia]]. The final album was released in October of 2002 under the title ''[[One by One]]''. Singles from the album included "[[All My Life (Foo Fighters song)|All My Life]]", "[[Times Like These (song) | Times Like These]]", "[[Low (Foo Fighters song)|Low]]", and "[[Have It All]]". The band later expressed displeasure with the album.<ref name="Chosen">Greenwald, Andy. "The Chosen Foo". ''Spin''. August 2005.</ref> Grohl told ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' in 2005, "Four of the songs were good, and the other seven I never played again in my life. We rushed into it, and we rushed out of it."<ref>Scaggs, Austin. "[http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/foofighters/articles/story/7281787/foos_reclaim_their_honor Foos Reclaim Their Honor]". ''Rolling Stone''. [[April 29]], [[2005]]. Retrieved on [[May 25]], [[2008]].</ref>
For most of its history, the band chose to stay away from the political realm. However, in 2004, upon learning that [[George W. Bush]]'s presidential campaign was using "Times Like These" at rallies, Grohl decided to lend his public support to [[John Kerry]]'s campaign. Grohl attended several Kerry rallies and occasionally performed solo acoustic sets. The entire band eventually joined Grohl for a performance in Arizona coinciding with one of the [[U.S. presidential election debates|presidential debates]].
===''In Your Honor'' and acoustic tour===
[[Image:Foo Fighters Live 29.jpg|thumb|right|Foo Fighters performing an acoustic show]]
Having spent a year and a half touring behind ''One By One'', Grohl did not want to rush into recording another Foo Fighters record. Initially Grohl intended to write acoustic material by himself, but eventually the project involved the entire band.<ref>Greenblatt, Leah. "[http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1070613,00.html No 'Foo'ls]". ''Entertainment Weekly''. [[June 17]], [[2005]]. Retrieved on [[May 26]], [[2008]].</ref> To record its fifth album, the band shifted to [[Los Angeles]] and built a recording studio, dubbed Studio 606 West. Grohl insisted that the album be divided into two discs–one full of rock songs, the other featuring acoustic tracks.<ref name="Chosen" /> ''[[In Your Honor]]'' was released in June 2005. The album's singles included "[[Best of You (Foo Fighters song)|Best of You]]", "[[DOA (song)|DOA]]", "[[Resolve (song)|Resolve]]", "[[No Way Back]]", and "[[Miracle (Foo Fighters song)|Miracle]]".
On [[June 17]], [[2006]], Foo Fighters performed their largest non-festival headlining concert to date at London's [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]]. The band was supported by [[Juliette and the Licks]], [[Angels & Airwaves]], [[Queens of the Stone Age]], and [[Motörhead]]. Motörhead's [[Lemmy]] joined the band on stage to sing "Shake Your Blood" from Dave Grohl's [[Probot (band)|Probot]] album. Also, as a surprise performance, [[Brian May]] and [[Roger Meddows-Taylor|Roger Taylor]] of [[Queen (band)|Queen]] jammed with Foo Fighters, playing part of "We Will Rock You" as a lead into "Tie Your Mother Down".
In further support of ''In Your Honor'', the band decided to organize a short acoustic tour for the summer of 2006. The tour included former member [[Pat Smear]], who rejoined the band as an extra guitarist, [[Petra Haden]] on violin and backup vocals, [[Drew Hester]] on percussion, and [[Rami Jaffee]] of [[The Wallflowers]] on keyboards/piano. While much of the setlist focused on ''In Your Honor'''s acoustic half, the band also used the opportunity to play lesser-known songs such as "Ain't It The Life", "Floaty", and "See You". The band also performed "Marigold", a ''Pocketwatch''-era song that was best-known as a Nirvana B-side.
In November 2006, the band released their first ever live CD, ''[[Skin and Bones]]'', featuring fifteen performances captured over a three-night stand in [[Los Angeles]]. An accompanying DVD was released, and featured tracks not available on the CD.
===''Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace''===
For the followup to ''In Your Honor'', the band decided to call in ''The Colour and the Shape'' producer Gil Norton. ''[[Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace]]'' was released in September 2007. The album's first single, "[[The Pretender (song)|The Pretender]]", was issued to radio in early August. The second single, "[[Long Road to Ruin]]", was released in December 2007, supported by a music video directed by longtime collaborator [[Jesse Peretz]] (formerly of [[the Lemonheads]])
In mid-to-late 2007 "The Pretender" topped the Modern Rock chart for a record 18 weeks, it also gave the band their third consecutive year at the top (a record), and made them the only artist besides [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] to have 4 consecutive albums have songs reach the top (RHCPs have 5). When "Long Road to Ruin" reached the top it gave them their fourth consecutive year to have a song reach the top (breaking their own record). When "[[Let It Die (song)|Let it Die]]" reached the top 20 it gave them 3 songs in the top 20, one of only four artists to do this. "Let it Die" is also the album's third Top 3 hit on the chart.
Not long after completing the recording sessions for the album, the band participated in [[Live Earth]] at [[Wembley Stadium]] in [[London, England]], performing the penultimate set of the night. Later that summer, the band headlined [[V Festival]] 2007, including a surprise acoustic set on the [[Channel 4]] stage under the name 606. In October 2007, Foo Fighters started their world tour in support for ''Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace''. The band will perform shows in throughout the United States, [[Europe]], [[Australia]] and [[Asia]]. The band will finish its world tour in September, in [[Canada]] at the [[Virgin Festival]] held at Toronto Island Park.
==Musical style==
When Grohl first started the band, its music was often compared to that of his previous group, Nirvana. Grohl acknowledged that Nirvana singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain was a major influence on his songwriting. Grohl said, "Through Kurt, I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down." Foo Fighters also utilize Nirvana's technique of shifting between quiet verses and loud chorus, which Grohl said was influenced by the members of Nirvana "liking the [[The Knack|Knack]], [[Bay City Rollers]], [[The Beatles|Beatles]], and [[ABBA|Abba]] as much as we liked [[Flipper (band)|Flipper]] and [[Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]], I suppose".<ref name="Foobulous" /> Writing and recording songs for the first Foo Fighters album by himself, Grohl wrote the guitar riffs to be as rhythmic as possible. He approached the guitar similar to how he approached playing a drumkit, assigning different drum parts to different strings on the instrument. This allowed him to piece together songs easily; he said, "I could hear the song in my head before it was finished."<ref name="Alien parking" /> Once Grohl assembled a full band, his bandmates assisted in song arrangements.<ref name="Foobulous" />
The members of Foo Fighters meld melodic elements with harder sounds. Grohl noted in 1997, "We all love music, whether it's the Beatles or [[Queen (band)|Queen]] or [[punk rock]]. I think the lure of punk rock was the energy and immediacy; the need to thrash stuff around. But at the same time, we're all suckers for a beautiful melody, you know? So it is just natural."<ref name="Foobulous" />
==Campaigning and activism==
In 2000, the band generated controversy through their public support of [[Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives|Alive & Well]], an organization that [[AIDS denialism|denies]] the link between [[HIV]] and [[AIDS]], questions the validity of HIV tests, and advises against taking medication to counter the disease.<ref name=mojo>Talvi, Silja J. A. "[http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2000/02/foo.html Foo Fighters, HIV Deniers]". ''Mother Jones''. [[February 25]], [[2000]]. Retrieved on [[August 21]], [[2007]].</ref> Foo Fighter bassist Nate Mendel learned of Alive & Well through ''What If Everything You Thought You Knew about AIDS Was Wrong?'', a self-published book written by [[Christine Maggiore]], the organization's founder. Mendel passed the book around to the rest of the band, who supported his advocacy.<ref name=mojo/>
In January 2000, the band played a benefit concert for the organization, which Mendel helped to organize.<ref name=mojo/> The band also contributed songs to ''The Other Side of AIDS'', a controversial [[documentary film]] by Maggiore's husband Robin Scovill, which questions whether HIV is the cause of AIDS.<ref name=plos>[[Tara C. Smith]] and Steven P. Novella (2007). "[http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.0040256 HIV Denial in the Internet Era]", ''PLoS Med'' 4(8): e256. Retrieved on [[August 21]], [[2007]].</ref> The band's position caused alarm in the medical community, as Alive & Well's advice ran contrary to established medical wisdom about HIV and AIDS.<ref name=mojo/><ref name=plos/> In a 2000 interview, Mendel spoke of using Foo Fighters' popularity to help spread the group's message and of holding more benefits for the organization.<ref name=mojo/> However, no further benefits have taken place, and the band has since removed the organization from [http://www.foofighters.com/community its list of supported causes].
