One of the coolest bands around; an epic force in the world of modern rock music. Current lineup consists of frontman/guitarist/lead singer Dave Grohl, drummer Taylor Hawkins, guitarists Pat Smear and Chris Shiflett, and bassist Nate Mendel.
Formed by Grohl in the mid-90's following Kurt Cobain's death (and the subsequent disbanding of Nirvana), Foo Fighters initially started as a one-man project in which the former Nirvana drummer - unsure of what to do next - recorded an entire album of his own material, essentially covering all instrumentals and vocals himself. As the demo tape gained traction, the one-man project grew into a full lineup of musicians. The rest is basically history. 11 Grammy wins (plus 16 nominations), over 30 million albums sold worldwide, 20+ years strong.

Get the Foo Fightersmug. 1) The capital of the great state (not) of Minnesota. It is extremely cold in the winter and mind-numbingly humid in the summer. Enjoi St. Foo.

Get the Foo Fightersmug. 1. A band lead by Dave Grohl, which was formed after Nirvana broke up due to Kurt Cobain's suicide. This is that one rock band that everyone has heard but half of the people have no clue who made the song.

Get the foo boxmug. The greatest rock band in the world at the moment, fronted by the world's biggest ROCKSTAR: Dave (Rock &) Grohl! Who is also perhaps the single coolest human yet produced here on earth.
Dave's former Nirvana band mate Kurdt Cobain is often refered to as a musical genius. 17 years later however it turns out that Dave Grohl is the true genius.

Get the Foo Fightersmug. The peculiar feeling that you get when programming, leading you to believe that you've written the particular code or program that you are currently working on, before.
After refactoring his game engine for the fourth time, Vincent was struck with a distinct, uncomfortable sense of déjà foo.
