Prior to the release of Foo Fighters' 1995 debut album Foo Fighters, which featured Grohl as the only official member, Grohl recruited bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, both formerly of Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as Nirvana touring guitarist Pat Smear. The band began with performances in Portland, Oregon. Goldsmith quit during the recording of their second album, The Colour and the Shape (1997); most of the drum parts were re-recorded by Grohl. Smear departed soon afterward but appeared as a guest with the band frequently from 2005; he rejoined in 2010.
Smear and Goldsmith were replaced by Franz Stahl and Taylor Hawkins; Stahl was fired before the recording of the group's third album, There Is Nothing Left to Lose (1999). The band briefly continued as a trio until Chris Shiflett joined on guitar after the completion of There Is Nothing Left to Lose. Foo Fighters released their fourth album, One by One, in 2002. It was followed with the two-disc In Your Honor (2005), which was split between acoustic songs and heavier material. Foo Fighters released their sixth album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, in 2007.
For Foo Fighters' seventh studio album, Wasting Light (2011), produced by Butch Vig, Smear returned as a full member. Sonic Highways (2014) was released as the soundtrack to the television miniseries directed by Grohl. Concrete and Gold (2017) was the second Foo Fighters album to reach number one in the United States and their first studio album to feature longtime session and touring keyboardist Rami Jaffee as a full member. The band's tenth album, Medicine at Midnight (2021), was the last to feature Hawkins, who died in March 2022.
Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, "But Here We Are" (the band's 11th) would release on June 2nd, 2023.
On May 21, 2023, some days before the album's release, Foo Fighters would officially announce that Josh Freese would be the new drummer.
Over the course of their career, Foo Fighters have won 15 Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Album five times, making them among the most successful rock acts in Grammy history. In 2021, the band was announced as recipients of the first-ever "Global Icon" award at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, their first year of eligibility.

Another Round
Foo Fighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I run for cover
Rolling like thunder clouds
Hanging above her
Ring in the witching hour
Spells that I'm singing
Rain come and drown me out
Can you go another round?
I will follow you down and out
Let's go another round
I will follow you down and
We could just lay around
Stare at the ceiling
Want to forget about
One for the feeling
Room full of photographs
Box full of letters
Come on make it last
Nothing else matters right now
Can you go another round?
I will follow you down and out
Let's go another round
I will follow you down and out
Can you go another round?
I will follow you down and out
Let's go another round
I will follow you down and out
Let's go another round
I will bother you down and out
Let's go another round
I will follow you down and out
The lyrics to Foo Fighters' song Another Round explore the ups and downs of a turbulent and stormy relationship. When the singer's lover storms off, they run for cover, dodging metaphorical thunder clouds hanging above her. The chorus pleads with the lover to go another round, suggesting that they are willing to follow them down and out and start again, despite their troubles. As they sing about laying around and staring at the ceiling, it becomes clear that the singer is looking for a reprieve from the emotional tumult of their relationship.
The second verse features images of nostalgia and a desire to hold on to the relationship despite its flaws. The room is full of photographs and a box of letters, suggesting the memory of a happier time. By the end of the song, the chorus is repeated with the slight twist that the singer will "bother" instead of "follow" their lover down and out, suggesting a more persistent and stubborn desire to make the relationship work.
Overall, the lyrics to Another Round convey a sense of emotional endurance and a willingness to weather the storm, even when things get tough. The song's repeated plea to "go another round" suggests the importance of perseverance in keeping a relationship alive.
Line by Line Meaning
When she goes storming out
When she leaves in a fit of anger
I run for cover
I retreat and try to avoid the confrontation
Rolling like thunder clouds
Her anger is intense and building
Hanging above her
Her anger is directed towards me
Ring in the witching hour
It is late at night when the tension is highest
Spells that I'm singing
I am trying to calm her down with my words
Rain come and drown me out
I wish the rain could wash away the tension and frustration
Sinking deep alone
I feel overwhelmed and helpless in the situation
Can you go another round?
Can we move past this argument and try again?
I will follow you down and out
I am willing to stick by you through anything
Let's go another round
Let's try to work through our problems
We could just lay around
We could try to relax and forget about our issues
Stare at the ceiling
We could simply lie there, lost in thought
Want to forget about
We desire to put our problems aside
One for the feeling
We want to focus on the moment and how it makes us feel
Room full of photographs
Memories of the past surround us
Box full of letters
We hold onto mementos of our relationship
Come on make it last
We hope that our relationship can endure despite the struggles
Nothing else matters right now
The only thing that is important is our love for each other
Let's go another round
Let's keep going, no matter what comes our way
I will bother you down and out
I will stick with you until the end
Let's go another round
We will face our problems head-on and keep trying
I will follow you down and out
I will always support you, even in the hardest times
