Dave Grohl Unleashes His NSFW Foo Fury On Fighting Fan At Concert

Wed Jul 13 2011 by Idolator Staff
Dave Grohl approves of Foo Fighting — just not the regular kind. Or so we learn from a video of the MTV Movie Awards performer unleashing a string of NSFW words aimed at a concertgoer who apparently couldn't keep his fists to himself. The Foo Fighters frontman interrupted his London iTunes concert at the Roundhouse on Monday in order to single out the offending crowd member and launch into a tirade of four-letter words about proper Foo Fighters concert-going etiquette, which basically requires that one "f***ing dance" instead of "f***ing fight," and "get the f*** out" if they disobey this decree. Watch the chart-topper play peacemaker below. More »

John McCain Is Not Dave Grohl’s Hero

Wed Oct 8 2008 by Kate Richardson

It’s hard being a Republican Presidential candidate sometimes, what with most people who are in the business of writing populist anthems frowning on your usage of their songs at political events. The McCain-Palin camp has had a particularly rough go of it lately, what with Nancy Wilson tossing them a cease-and-desist after their abuse of “Barracuda” and Van Halen reigniting their old tensions after “Right Now” was played at a rally.. Now the Foo Fighters have come out of hiatus just to issue a strongly worded press release regarding the campaign’s use of “My Hero.”
