Your Personal History Is A Part Of

Being In Nirvana Was Amazing An Experience That Will Never Happen Again For Me. And I Look On Them As Some Of The Best And Worst Times Of My Life. But We're In This Band, The Foo Fighters, Making Music For The Love Of Music. We All Came From Bands That Had Disbanded, And We Were Drawn To Each Other Because We Missed Playing - We Missed Getting In The Van, Loading Our Equipment, And Watching It Break Down In The Middle Of A Show. And That Feeling Hasn't Gone Away. There's Nothing I'd Rather Do Than Make Music. It's The Love Of My Life.

Neil Young Is My Hero, And Such A Great Example. You Know What That Guy Has Been Doing For The Past 40 Years? Making Music. That's What That Guy Does. Sometimes You Pay Attention, Sometimes You Don't. Sometimes He Hands It To You, Sometimes He Keeps It To Himself. He's A Good Man With A Beautiful Family And Wonderful Life.

I Think That If You're Passionate About Something And You're Driven And You're Focused, Then You Can Pretty Much Do Anything That You Want To Do In Life.

There's A Reason Why The Foo Fighters Don't Blast Out Nirvana Songs Every Night: Because We Have A Lot Of Respect For Them. You Know, That's Hallowed Ground. We Have To Be Careful. We Have To Tread Lightly. We Have Talked About It Before, But The Opportunity Hasn't Really Come Up, Or It Just Hasn't Felt Right.

When I Was A Teenager, Working Towards Dropping Out Of High School To Starting To Tour With Bands, I'd Drive Around In My Vw Bug Every Morning Before School, Very Stoned Listening Over And Over To Zeppelin. This Song Got To Me Because It Just Seemed Mystical. There Is Something About Those Celtic Tunings That Almost Sounds Eastern. Somehow It Would Sweep Me Up Into My Own Little Trance-like State, Like Sting With Those Shamans In The Amazon. But All I Had Was A Bong And A Led Zeppelin Cassette.
