  • Quoted in Shirley Halperin, "My Summer With the Foo Fighters," Entertainment Weekly (2007-09-21)

• Around the time that I recorded the first Foo Fighters tape, I was reading a lot of books on UFO’s. … So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS - WW2 term for UFO’s - might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh? Had I actually considered this to be a career, I probably would have called it something else, because it’s the stupidest fucking band name in the world.
  • Quoted in Clash Music, "Foo Fighters on Their Band Name" Clash Music (2010-01-11)

• I'd like to imagine I won't end up in hell, but I think I've done too much acid and listened to too much death metal to sit on a cloud next to God with angels floating above my head.

About Dave Grohl

• Why doesn't Dave Grohl run for President? I think he'd be good, he seems a very organised man. He has about 12 fingers in about 50 pies, and they're all great pies, and great fingers. What I'm saying is that we really respect that band, and I fucking love him!
  • Chris Martin, quoted on www.foofighters.com (2002) [1]

• I love his voice (Dave) and the song writing is scary; it's phenomenal. He's the most inspirational guy out there for me now.
  • Mark DiCarlo, quoted on www.foofighters.com (2000) [2]
