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.

Tired Of You
Foo Fighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by
The diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you
But is this just desire or the truth?
So shame on me for the ruse
Another one returned that I'll never use
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
Hanging on this wire
Waiting for the day I have to choose
Cursed by love so dire
One more boy for hire
One more boy to lend a hand to you
But it is this just desire or the truth?
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
Of you
Of you
I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by
The diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you
Is this just desire or the truth?
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
Of you
The lyrics of Foo Fighters' "Tired of You" paint a picture of a relationship where one partner is tired but still holding on. The singer admits to being able to lie and even being the bearer of bad news for their partner. They express a sense of weariness with the relationship and the diamonds in their partner's fire no longer inspire them. However, they cannot tell if their feelings are just desire or the truth. They seem to feel trapped on a wire, waiting for the day when they will have to choose whether to stay or leave. The singer has been cursed by love so dire and used up and thrown away like another one returned that they will never use. Despite all of this, they won't go getting tired of their partner.
The song's lyrics express the exhaustion of a relationship that is either on the verge of ending or one where one partner is carrying most of the weight. The singer expresses feeling like they've been hired to hold their partner's hand. They also seem to be feeling a sense of regret, apologizing for the ruse and the blues. While they are tired, they are not ready to give up on their partner just yet, as they repeat the phrase "I won't go getting tired of you" multiple times. It is a song about the complexities of relationships and the struggles of trying to keep them alive.

I can be your liar
I am willing to lie for you
I can be your bearer of bad news
I will be the one to give you bad news you might not want to hear
Sick and uninspired by
I am disgusted and lack inspiration because of
The diamonds in your fire
Your success and wealth
Burning like a flame inside of you
Your passion and drive
But is this just desire or the truth?
I am unsure whether your passion and drive reflect something true or just a fleeting desire
So shame on me for the ruse

I won't lose interest in you
I'm not getting tired
I still have the energy and will to be with you
Hanging on this wire
I am feeling trapped and uncertain
Waiting for the day I have to choose
I am anticipating the moment when I must make a decision
Cursed by love so dire
I feel doomed by my overwhelming love
One more boy for hire
I am just another guy you can call on
One more boy to lend a hand to you
I am willing to help and support you
Of you
With you

I’ve always liked the foo fighters but i now am a lot older and really appreciate how good their songs really are ,there are no short cuts or weak song their music can stand against some of the great rock bands of the past .
@dyshellkimble1093
Been listening to Foo Fighters since high school.... Never paid attention to this one until "I Think I Love My Wife" 💖💖💖
@adielharar3351
dave grohl is seriouly one of the best songwriters out there. the guy is seriously saving the rock industry from completely vanishing. what he creates is one of the only things i can truely call music, for that i really apreciate (not sure if i spelled it right) the Foo Fighters so much more than other rock musicians and bands out there. the Foo Fighters are using many different styles and are pretty much never getting old. there's no way i'd say their music sounds the same because they don't. every song is so unique it's mind blowing really.
@DecayToDeath
Adi Elharar Foo Fighters are my favorite band, but I can't say that Dave is one of the best songwriters out there.
