What are some odd facts about the foo fighters?
Taylor used to whack it to a Princess Leia doll
One time, William was trying so hard to impress Dave with his drumming that he snapped a drumstick in half and it embedded in his face
Pat was in an experimental Scientology-esque program at the campus of University High in Santa Monica, where the curriculum involved yelling at them and saying they were assholes for eight hours, a pedophile math teacher, and carrying copies of Helter Skelter
Chris once got so thoroughly drunk on tour that he shat himself in his bunk
They had a clause in an old rider that enforced a $100 fine for every instance of anyone’s name being misspelled
When they were briefly and ill-advisedly involved with Alive & Well, they used to pass condoms around at their shows
They brought a barbecue “technologist” on tour with them in ‘02
Pat hardly ever leaves his room when they’re on tour except to do interviews and play a show (though he seems to be making more of an effort nowadays) - he prefers binge-watching reality shows
Chris has a huge music collection at his house but, for a long time, nothing to play them on - i’m not sure if he ever rectified this
Taylor can play the trumpet (not really odd, just unexpected)
When they shared buses, they used to fight for time in the bathroom to the point where Dave nailed the door shut from the inside so he could get some peace - then kicked it down when he realized there wasn’t a window

Chris’ inner-lip tattoo has been done twice
Taylor had braces and his first sexual encounter involve he and his partner’s train tracks getting locked together
Dave once drank a bottle and a half of tequila, jumped onto a friend’s 17th-storey window ledge with an ironing board for reasons, and Taylor closed the window so he spent quite a while out there on his own trying to bash it back in and also not die
Nate worked at a cookie factory
Taylor’s favourite prank used to involve taking a dump in his tech’s toolbox
Bonus: On the Aussie leg of their WL tour, fans could pick up their private wifi network on their phones - it was under the name “WHITESTLIMO”
