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.

Doll
Foo Fighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never been so scared
Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there
I wish I never had taken this dare
I wasn't quite prepared
Doll me up in my bad luck
Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there
The lyrics "Doll me up in my bad luck, I'll meet you there" by Foo Fighters from their song Doll suggests a relationship in turmoil. The singer refers to his partner as a doll, indicating that the relationship is one-sided or that he is being manipulated or controlled. He speaks of being scared, which could mean fear of losing his partner or fear of the relationship itself. However, despite the challenges, he is still willing to meet his partner in the midst of bad luck.
The second verse suggests that the singer regrets taking a risk, possibly getting into this relationship or taking another action that has led to bad luck. He admits that he wasn't prepared for the consequences that came with that decision, but his partner somehow influences him to move forward, even if it means facing their issues together.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability, fear, and uncertainty related to a relationship. The singer seems to want to confront his issues head-on and meet his partner wherever they are, even if it's under unfavorable circumstances.

You know in all of the time that we've shared
Throughout our entire relationship
I've never been so scared
I've never felt so afraid
Doll me up in my bad luck
Make me look pretty even though things aren't going well
I'll meet you there
I'll join you in whatever situation you're in
I wish I never had taken this dare
I regret taking this risk
I wasn't quite prepared
I didn't expect what was going to happen
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Doll me up in my bad luck
Make me look pretty even though things aren't going well
I'll meet you there
I'll join you in whatever situation you're in
