Foo Fighters were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last night by none other than Paul McCartney. During his powerful introduction speech, Macca likened his experience in the Beatles to Dave Grohl‘s experience in Nirvana. “We had a great time with our groups, but then eventually tragedy happened, and my group broke […]
“Well this is nice, this is quaint,” Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl said, taking in the audience Thursday night at the House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio. He tucked his mane behind both ears like a professor adjusting his reading glasses. It’s been a while since Grohl, 52, could recognize faces from the stage since […]

Dave Grohl is releasing his first book, The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music, on October 5, and now we’ve got a new look into what will be in it. The trailer for Grohl’s memoir features old home videos and his decision to write about his life. “My life flashes before my eyes every single […]
It’s been a big year for the Foo Fighters. We can go into that ad nauseam but will spare you. But at this year’s edition of the MTV Video Music Awards, Dave Grohl and company were the recipients of the Global Icon Award.

For the better part of the past year, Dave Grohl and 11-year-old British phenom Nandi Bushell squared off in a virtual drumoff, with youth coming out on top. It was one of the warmest stories of 2020, and now it has an even better continuation in 2021. At the Foo Fighters’ first show in Los […]
The Dee Gees, A.K.A. the Foo Fighters, busted out some big moves last night ahead of a show in Bonner Springs, Kansas. The Foo Fighters struck the latest blow in their battle against the Westboro Baptist Church (who were protesting their show) by trolling them with a live performance (on a flatbed truck no less!) […]
Music videos are the perfect bastard child of art and commerce, even more than pop music itself. A promotional visual accompaniment to a popular song doesn’t need a coherent narrative (although on rare occasions, they do). It just needs to suit the song, sell the record, and possibly make the artist look cool. But since […]
