Foo Fighters are on top of the world. They've been there since the mid-90's and they're not going anywhere anytime soon. That's a good thing, we love them. Since the beginning they've managed to drop nine studio albums, win 11
GRAMMY awards, and tour the world non-stop. We're tired just thinking about that.
A few fun facts about the band:- "The group got its name from the UFOs and various aerial phenomena that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II, which were known collectively as 'foo fighters'."
- Their record company, Roswell, is named after a New Mexico town where a flying saucer supposedly crashed in 1947.
- After Kurt Cobain’s death, Dave Grohl was asked to join Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers but later declined.
- Before joining the Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins was the drummer for singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette.
- Foo Fighters hold the current GRAMMY record for most wins in the Best Rock Album category (via GRAMMYs)
