  • Foo Fighters dish the dirt (5:24)

Few had high hopes for the Foo Fighters when they first formed 15 years ago.

After all, lead singer Dave Grohl had previously been the unassuming drummer in Nirvana. And that had not ended well.

But Grohl and his band proved the naysayers wrong with a stack of albums and a stack of awards.

And many call them the last great American rock band.

Dominic Bowden caught up with the whole band in Los Angeles to talk about rock'n'roll, fatherhood, the Rolling Stones, and ordering up male strippers in New Zealand.
