On this Rewind episode of Kyle Meredith With..., revisit a conversation with foundational Foo Fighters members Taylor Hawkins and Chris Shiflett.

Foo Fighters are a band that rose from the ashes of grunge to become rock’s most reliable hit-makers and festival headliners. But beyond Dave Grohl’s frontman glow, it’s guys like Shiflett and the late, great Hawkins who gave the band its heartbeat and bite.

Shiflett’s slick guitar work brought a sharp edge to their sound, while Hawkins’ explosive drumming and larger-than-life personality made him the band’s not-so-secret weapon. Together, they helped shape the Foo Fighters into more than just Grohl’s post-Nirvana project — they became a rock institution.
