Best Of You

The Flag Day release was no coincidence: a lot of the themes on the album stem from Grohl's work with John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid.
DOA
Share
Why a double album? 10 years in to Foo Fighters, Grohl was feeling the band wasn't as rewarding anymore and wanted to do something new and take a different creative approach.
Resolve
Share
Having two album's worth of material--and an entire disc of acoustic songs--gave the band an opportunity to bring in a variety of guest musicians, including Norah Jones, Warren Haynes, Grant Hart, and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age.
No Way Back
Share
The album also featured a composition by drummer Taylor Hawkins. His "Cold Day In The Sun" was released as a double A-side with the single "No Way Back" and featured Hawkins on vocals and Grohl on drums.
Miracle
Share
'In Your Honor's' fifth and final single--the acoustic "Miracle"--featured none other than John Paul Jones as a guest musician.
