Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in
1994 in Seattle, Washington.
The band was founded by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl as a
one-man project following the dissolution of Nirvana after the suicide of
Kurt Cobain. The group took its name from foo fighter, a
nickname coined by Allied aircraft pilots for UFOs and other aerial phenomena. Over the course of their career, Foo
Fighters have won 12 Grammy Awards,
including Best Rock
Album four times. They were inducted into
the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 2021, their first year of
eligibility.
Prior to the release of Foo Fighters' 1995
debut álbum Foo Fighters,
which featured Grohl as the only official member, Grohl recruited bassist Nate Mendel and
drummer William Goldsmith, both
formerly of Sunny Day
Real Estate, as well as Nirvana touring
guitarist Pat Smear. The
band began with performances in Portland, Oregon.
Goldsmith quit during the recording of their second álbum The Colour
and the Shape (1997); most of the drum parts were
re-recorded by Grohl. Smear departed soon afterward but appeared as a guest with the band
frequently from 2005; he rejoined in 2010.
Sonic Highways is the eighth studio album by
American rock band Foo Fighters,
released on November 10, 2014, through Roswell and RCA Records. Similar
to their previous album, Wasting Light(2011),
it was produced by the band with Butch Vig.
In writing the album's eight songs, singer and guitarist Dave Grohl traveled
to eight cities across the United States to conduct interviews with musicians,
recording engineers, record producers, and other individuals discussing each
city's musical history, which he used as inspiration for the songs' lyrics. The
band and Vig then traveled to a different recording location in each city to
record the songs. Each track features contributions from one or more musicians
with ties to that city's musical history. The process was filmed for a
companion television series, Foo Fighters:
Sonic Highways, which was broadcast on HBO in the months
surrounding the album's release.
Give me the flammable
light
I'm cold as a match, ready to strike
So, here I go
Here lies a city on
fire
Singing along
The arsonist choir
Now, here I go
It started with a spark
And burning to the dark
Now, here I go
There is a river I've
found
Into the wild
Under the ground
So, here I go
A button on a string
And I heard everything
Now here I go
Oh, sweet ignition,
be my fuse
You have no choice, you have to choose
Bid farewell to yesterday
Say goodbye, I'm on my way
But in the end, we
all
Come from what's come before
So, here I go
Oh, sweet ignition,
be my fuse
You have no choice, you have to choose
Bid farewell to yesterday
Say goodbye, I'm on my way
I threw it all away
because
I had to be what never was
Been so hungry I could lie
Took my word, I took your wine
And held you in my bloody hands
These rattled bones
and rubber bands
Washed them in the muddy water
Looking for a dime and found a quarter
But you can't make me change my name
You'll never make me change my name
Pay no mind, now,
ain't that something?
Fuck it all, I came from nothing
I'm something from
nothing
You are my fuse
I'm something from
nothing
You are my fuse
It goes oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
It goes oh, oh, oh
Alright
No, you can't make me
change my name
You'll never make me change my name
Pay no mind, now, ain't that something?
Fuck it all, I came from nothing
I'm something
From nothing
I'm something
From nothing.
