Show all (9)Foo Fighters is a Grammy® Award-winning rock band formed in 1995. Singer and guitarist Dave Grohl formed the group as a one-man project after the dissolution of his previous band, Nirvana, in 1994. Prior to the release of Foo Fighters in 1995, Grohl drafted Nate Mendel as bassist, William Goldsmith as drummer, and Pat Smear as guitarist to complete the group. Goldsmith left during the recording of the group's second album, The Colour and the Shape (1997), and Smear's departure followed soon afterward. 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® Awards for Best Rock Album, and all six have been nominated for Grammys®.

I totally was amazed at the concert last night. Honestly Sean i think you are a tool for not loving the performance. I have never seen such audience interaction before, and the set list was perfect. long live the Foo. Although I will say that i was truly disappointed with section 112 I was the only person standing in the first 3 rows... and it does make the concert experience much different, but i didnt let it deter my awesome experience. Foo needs to come to Louisville for a proper reception.

wow, i can not express enough what amazing performers foo fighters are. Dave Grohl just worked the crowd so well. The 2 hour and 6 minute set was amazing! I have to totally disagree with Sean, i was more than impressed and I think majority of people there were.
I had seen the foos before and loved them the first time so expected alot for last night. They did more than meet my expectations.
I want to marry Dave Grohl!

Saw the show in Worc last night...not very impressed with the set list and general performance.
The first band was excellent.
And the band should be ashamed of the way people on the floor were corraled in like cattle 20 feet from the stage. Would not go see them again. Give me a tool show any day.
