Foo Fighters: Back and Forth

2011 • 100 minutes

About this movie

A true chronicling of the triumphs and tragedies of the band’s 16 year history, BACK AND FORTH chronicles FOO FIGHTERS’ entire existence: from Dave Grohl’s cassette demos to the band forming to play those songs to their ascent to becoming one of the biggest rock bands on the planet--and every Grammy® win and sold out show along the way. FOO FIGHTERS BACK AND FORTH features Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear recalling every stage of the band’s existence more candidly and intimately than ever before culminating in a behind the scenes look at the direct-to-analog tape sessions in Grohl’s garage that produced the new album, WASTING LIGHT.

Ratings and reviews

I'm a hard core foo fan and eat up every album they've ever put out. To see the band be open about their good times and bad times brings even more joy to my favorite music. This is a must see for every foo fan.

i had no idea there was a documentary on the foo fighters until an hour and 40 minutes ago, and right as i saw it of course i bought it. it really helped me to learn the full story of the band. i had no idea how many line up changes that happened through the years!

This film was my first glimpse into the world of the Foos back when I was 13. Now as my favorite band Im so happy to find this again and watch it. Its a great look into their history and also a fantastic chronicling of the making of Wasting Light. If you love the Foos, watch this!
