  A.  What songs did they play on their appearances on David Letterman?

See Section VI-B; the recording sessions list also lists as
many TV appearances as we know about.

  B.  What songs did they play on their MTV special?

On November 22, 1995 MTV aired I'M OK, EUR-OK, a combination of two
taped Foo Fighters concerts from London. They played:

*Enough Space
*This Is a Call
*Winnebago
*Wattershed
*For All the Cows
*Weenie Beenie
*Big Me
*I'll Stick Around
*Alone+Easy Target
*Up In Arms
*Gas Chamber (Angry Samoans cover)
*Exhausted


  C.  What songs did they play on Saturday Night Live?

See Section VI-B, the recording sessions list.

  D.  Have there been any "in-store" appearances?

Yes, at least one that we know of.  On 4/25/96, the boys played the
Virgin Records Megastore in New York City, NY.  It was only intended for
private television viewing of the rest of the Virgin Megastores around
the world.  The setlist is as follows:

*Wattershed
*This is a Call
*For all the Cows
*Gas Chamber
*Big Me
*Butterflies
*I'll Stick Around
*How I Miss You
*Alone + Easy Target
*Exhausted

  E.  Did they win any 1996, 1997, or 1998 MTV Music Video Awards?

The Foo Fighters' video for Big Me won them Best Group Video award in 1996.

In 1997 and 1998, the Foos were shut out, and did not win any awards.

  B.  Why do people yell at me when I ask for mp3s in this
      newsgroup?

Well, you didn't read this FAQ to find out where to find
them.  :-)

Seriously though, the issue boils down to this:  you are
obtaining a digital copy of a song that you did not purchase,
which in turn means that you are not compensating the artist who
created the song.  This is especially problematic when you are
asking for a song that is available on one of the Foo's major
releases, such as "Everlong" or "Big Me."  Not only are you
asking for something that's readily available in music
stores, but the CDs are also now available from such places
as cdnow.com (which, coincidentally, also has samples
from the songs on the albums) on the net.  This tends to raise
the ire of some of the regulars of the newsgroup, and thus
the rather negative responses to your post.

If you are really desperate for the mp3s, and are possibly
just looking for rare releases that you can't find in stores
(such as live performances), your best bet is to use one
of the many, many mp3 search engines available on the web.
A fairly decent list of available mp3 search engines can be
found at:

http://www.mp3now.com

  C.  Where can I find guitar tabs?

ftp://ftp.uni-puderborn.de/doc/guitar/f/foo_fighters
ftp://ftp.uu.net/doc/music/guitar/f/foo_fighters
http://idt.net/~timbob29/foo
http://saturnet.net/olga/main/f/foo_fighters

  D.  Is there a newsgroup?

The Foo Fighters newsgroup is alt.music.foo-fighters.  For those without
access to the newsgroup, there is usually some Foo or Foo-related
discussion going on in alt.music.nirvana or alt.music.alternative.

  E.  Are there any mailing lists?

Yes, there is one.  For more information on it, go to:

http://www.onelist.com/community/foo-news


VI.  Miscellaneous
  A.  Is there a fan club?

Foo Merchandise and Fan Club:
P.O. Box # 19700
Seattle, WA 98109

Note:  Reports are that this address has never worked, although
it was listed in the liner notes for the Foo Fighters' debut
album.  Use your $.<insert current postage rate here> wisely.

  B.  Can you list every recording session and the songs recorded?

Well... no.  And frankly, I haven't been able to keep this section of
the FAQ up to date.  As a result, *Simon 13* maintains a more
complete list than I do.  I've included the latest version that
he has here; any updates can be sent to him at his e-mail address:

  C.  What do the songs mean?

The songs may have multiple meanings, or none at all, so you
shouldn't look too much into them.  Dave has given some of the
mystery away, though, in a few interviews, and in his introductions
of the songs at concerts.

*This Is A Call:  Dave thanking and paying respects to everyone
                  he's ever been close to.

*I'll Stick Around:  A song about feeling like you're lost, but
                     you're not going to quit.

*Big Me:  A song Dave wrote for his ex-wife.

*Floaty:  Dave told an interviewer that he once had a dream that
          aliens had come to the earth, and a new age of man was
          beginning.  It inspired one of the songs on the album.
          While he didn't say which one, he did say that the
          lyrics were very spacey and general.  He could be
          talking about "Floaty".  (Then again... maybe not.)

*Up In Arms:  Right before they played this song on the MTV special,
          Dave mentioned that [probably paraphrased]
          "That's a cute little love song about my wife."

  D.  Can you tell me what Dave's whispering towards the end of Everlong?

Apparently Dave scrambled three audio tracks together so as to distort
what you, the listener, hear.  To this date, no one has been able
to decipher exactly what is being said, but we do know that one track
is a love letter being read, one track is a technical manual being
read, and the last track is a story about one of the studio technician's
father.

  E.  What was the LATE! "Pocketwatch" album?

Dave Grohl recorded a 10 track demo back in 1990. Just as with the
Foo Fighters demo, he played every instrument himself.  He gave this
demo to one of his friends, Jenny Toomey, who happened to own
Simple Machines records.  This demo was later released under the band
name Late!  The album title was "Pocketwatch".

The tracks are:
1.  Pokey the Little Puppy
2.  Petrol CB
3.  Friend of a Friend
4.  Throwing Needles
5.  Just Another Story About Skeeter Thompson
6.  Color Pictures of a Marigold
7.  Hell's Garden
8.  Winnebago
9.  Bruce
10. Milk

(A different recording of "Marigold" later appeared as a B-side of the
Nirvana "Heart-Shaped Box" single.  A different recording of "Winnebago"
was released as a B-side of Foo Fighters' "This Is a Call" single.  See
section II-A for more info.)

The album has been available via Simple Machines; however, they are
currently swamped with orders, and are no longer taking new orders until
they can get caught up.  For more information on Simple Machines, a good
web site is "Jeff's Tribute to Simple Machines":

  F.  What's the connection with the movie "Touch"?

The movie "Touch," released in the United States early in 1997,
was completely scored by Dave.  The CD to look for in music stores is
entitled, "Music from the Motion Picture Touch."  The tracklist is as
follows:

1.  bill hill theme
2.  august murray theme
3.  how do you do
4.  richie baker's miracle
5.  making popcorn
6.  outrage
7.  saint's in love
8.  spinning newspapers
9.  remission my ass
10. scene 6
11. this loving thing (lynn's song)
12. final miracle
13. touch

  G.  What's the connection with Nirvana?

Are you kidding?  Foo Frontman Dave Grohl was the drummer for
Nirvana.  Guitarist Pat Smear was recruited by Nirvana near the
band's end.  (See section I-A; for Nirvana links, see section V-A;
For additional Nirvana information, consult the Nirvana FAQ,
posted bi-monthly to alt.music.nirvana, maintained by Jeff McRae.)


  H.  What's the connection with Sunny Day Real Estate?

Bass player Nate Mendel and ex-drummer William Goldsmith were the
rhythm section of the once dead and now resurrected band, Sunny
Day Real Estate.  (See section I-A.)  A new album was recorded prior to
the break-up, and was released in November, 1995 under the independent
Sub Pop label.  (For SDRE web sites, see section V-A.)


  I.  What's the connection with Devo?

Devo bass player Gerold Casale directed the Foo Fighters' first
video, "I'll Stick Around".  Dave rented a video of a collection of
Devo videos and short films, directed by Casale.  The Foos started
talking about making a video with him, that would sort of resemble
a Devo video, and it happened.

Also, in 1990 when Dave was with Nirvana, they recorded
"Turnaround", a Devo song co-written by Casale, for the John
Peel show in England.  This recording was released first on the EP
Hormoaning and then the album Incesticide.  (For more information,
check out the Nirvana FAQ, posted bi-monthly to alt.music.nirvana,
maintained by Jeff McRae.)

  J.  What's the connection with Backbeat?

Backbeat was a movie released in the mid '90s that chronicled the
early years of the Beatles.  Dave played drums on a number of tracks for
the soundtrack of the movie, and even played the MTV Music Video Awards
with some of the other contributing artists.

  K.  What's the connection with Sean "Puffy" Combs?

Dave laid down the guitar, bass, and drum portions of the rock remix
of Puffy's "It's All About The Benjamins."  It can be found on the
following single:

*Been Around The World (CD)
Puff Daddy & Family
1.  Been Around The World (Radio Edit)
2.  It's All About The Benjamins (Rock Remix 1)
3.  It's All About The Benjamins (Rock Remix 2)

Release date:  11/21/97

  L.  How well are their albums selling?

Their debut album has slowly but steadily sold, never cracking the top
20 popular albums.  In January 1996 it was given certification by the
RIAA as a platinum album, and this was then announced in the February
1996 issue of Billboard Magazine.

The Colour and The Shape, their second album, peaked at #10 on the charts
and has gone platinum since.

There Is Nothing Left To Lose, the Foos' third album, debuted at
#10 on the Billboard charts, and went platinum in December of 1999.

  M.  Why is all this information so out of date?

Because it's now January of 2016, and you're reading the June
2000 version.  The Foo Fighters FAQ is updated periodically.  Always
check the date of the FAQ to make sure you're looking at the most
recent version.
