The Foo Fighters | The Foo Fighters and Weezer first met sometime before 1995. As recounted by the band in a 1995 interview with ''VOX'' magazine, Dave Grohl gave Weezer a copy of Foo Fighers' earliest material and let them know he liked their music.<ref>[[VOX article - May 1995#THE TOURBUS TAPE]]</ref> | ||
Grohl's outfit has covered "[[Say It Ain't So]]" at soundchecks, and Weezer has covered "[[Big Me]]" a number of times. [[Pat Wilson]]'s group [[The Special Goodness]] opened for Foo Fighters in 2003 (ironic considering both bands are fronted by drummers-turned-guitarists/vocalists), and the Foos coheadlined the so-called [[Foozer]] tour with Weezer in 2005. | |||
In [[2018]] Weezer performed as the opening act on the [[Concrete and Gold Tour]] with Foo Fighters. | In [[2018]] Weezer performed as the opening act on the [[Concrete and Gold Tour]] with Foo Fighters. | ||
