	Foo Fighters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Foo Fighters is a rock group formed by musician Dave Grohl in 1995.
		The group is named after the World War II term "foo fighter", used to refer to mysterious aerial phenomena.
		Foo Fighters were supported by Juliette and the Licks, Angels and Airwaves, Queens of the Stone Age and Motörhead.

	Foo Fighters - Crystalinks
		The term foo fighter was used by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II to describe various UFOs or mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies over Europe and the Pacific theater.
		In the same vein, "Foo" could be derived from the French "Fou," or "mad." "Foo fighter" was supposedly used as a semi-derogatory reference to Japanese fighter pilots (known for erratic flying and extreme maneuvering), it became a catch-all term for fast moving, erratically flying objects (such as UFOs).
		It has also been suggested that the foo fighter was a secret disk-shaped Luftwaffe aircraft nicknamed the "feuerfighter" by the Germans, but as this hypothetical name is a mix of German and English, and as no such craft has been found, this explanation is likely an urban legend.

	Foo Fighters - Fan site.
		The band's self-titled 1995 release became a hit, as the band's sound was similar to his last full-time band — hard-edged punk rockers mixed with melodic mid-tempo pop rockers.
		The Foos' One by One appeared in October and almost immediately began spawning hit singles, each accompanied by a typically entertaining, Grohl-directed music video.
		In spring 2003, Grohl, Hawkins, and the rest of the Foos embarked on an extensive tour in support of One by One.

		The Allied Military Chiefs suspected that Foo Fighters were, in fact, enemy secret weapons but the Germans were also mystified by the strange objects.
		Seemingly Foo Fighters continued to be seen during the Korean War and perhaps there is also evidence of similar objects appearing in later years but whatever they were (are?), no satisfactory explanation has been produced.
		Certainly the term “Foo Fighter” was adopted some five prior to “UFO” becoming the accepted tag for unidentified aerial objects.

		Perhaps it was unavoidable osmosis: Grohl, Foo Fighters' lead singer-guitarist, wrote most of these tunes during breaks from beat-keeping for his former band leader.
		Dave Grohl's opening post-Nirvana salvo, FOO FIGHTERS seemsmerely ordinary only in the wake of the historic, sweetly abrasive sensations that his previous band was famous for.
		Despite being bettered by the Foo Fighters follow-up album, The Colour and the Shape, their self-titled effort remains one of the best rock albums of the 90's and a fine fairwell to the glory days of grunge.

	Foo Fighters (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Foo Fighters is the Foo Fighters' debut album.

		Bittersweet and hopeful, the title of Foo Fighters' latest album could be perceived as a reference to the band's origins.
		Foo Fighters was founded when Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl embarked on a solo career after Cobain's demise.
		Foo Fighters consists of some of the most revered young musicians in modern rock, including former Alanis Morissette drummer Taylor Hawkins.

	Foo Fighters: "One by One" - Salon
		As a band, the Foo Fighters have had their share of turmoil: Foo mastermind Dave Grohl's lengthy, post-Nirvana legal sniping with Kurt Cobain's widow, diva Courtney Love; drummer Taylor Hawkins' painkiller overdose in 2001; then rumors that the band was done when Grohl toured with Queens of the Stone Age earlier this year.
		Essentially a solo project when he released the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut in 1995, Grohl brought a more straightforward rock approach to the post-punk he was performing with Nirvana.
		That's not to say that the Foo Fighters have abandoned pop hooks and the kind of riffs that land them all over the FM airwaves.

		Sure, I respect the Foo Fighters immensely for continuing doing what they love doing and creating the music that they love, and i love, but what this album is, is basically dissapointing to the extent of depression.
		The Foo Fighters have got to be one of the best bands around they have created some great songs in there other albums.

		Dave Grohl has always been a bit of a UFO buff, having taken the name Foo Fighters from a term that World War II pilots used to describe unidentified balls of light they saw in the night skies in the final days of the war.
		The contest is the kind of over-the-top promotional effort befitting of the Foos' upcoming In Your Honor (June 14), which Grohl has described as his band's Physical Graffiti (see "Foo Fighter Dave Grohl Says Physical Graffiti Was Model For New LP").
		Fans can enter at Rhapsody.com, and according to a spokesperson at the Foos' label, RCA Records, contest winners will be flown via private jet to Roswell, where they'll be treated to a "first class" cookout and a 45-minute Foo Fighters show.

		The above is a typical example of an encounter with a "foo fighter." Toward the end of World War II pilots began reporting seeing strange glowing balls flying around their aircraft at night.
		The objects were dubbed "foo fighters." because of a popular comic strip at the time, Smoky Stover.
		More encounters with the foo fighters were reported, but none of the objects ever seemed to take any aggressive action, so the idea that they were an advanced enemy weapon was dropped.

		Disc one follows the Foo’s classic sonic blueprint: lip-smacking melodies and enigmatic lyrics, double-barrel guitars and drums that attack.
		The Foo Fighters are a band I have enjoyed listening to for some time, though I always seem to find their individual albums slightly lacking in consistency.
		This Fighters CD rocks out harder than any other Foo album, but it's the softer moments that make this album truly great.
