Who is foo fighters my hero about

He said the song is about ordinary people that do extrodinary things, hence this son is about my mom!!!! Another Foo Fighter song meaning from a 13 year old! Just think for a moment. I hear this: "There goes my hero, watchin' as he goes. There goes my hero, he's ordinary! You look up and see soldiers in the back of the Chinook. You smile, knowing that these people are America's heroes and their doing anything for their country!

I hope this helped! When they played this song at my first concert, I never sang so loud before. I was the happiest girl EVER! I always thought it was the complete opposite of what everyone else here is saying - 'heros' or public figures behaving disgracefully.

Too alarming, the unexpected poor behaviour. Take your hero's pictures down and move on shake it out. Using truth as a weapon to secure one's way. The big shot egotists battling it out, bleeding a situation for all its worth, while the pawns fall by the wayside. He's ordinary, not so great after all. Watch him go, falling from grace, leaving his position of positive role model, true colours now exposed. Its not Kurt bloody Kobain, either!

Maybe its Peter Garrett now I'm just stirring. Dave has said a few times over the years this song is about his friend Pete Stahl My hero is about the everyday people. I love this song back when i was 12 i took a picture in front of the twin towers and i was wearing a foo fighters shirt.

After Nirvana disbanded, fans had assumed Grohl would join another band. The song was used by John McCain during his campaign for the presidency, but he never asked Foo Fighters if he could use the music. Grohl released a statement, and in doing so, revealed the true meaning of the lyrics.

To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song. We hope that the McCain campaign will do the right thing and stop using our song. When Grohl performed the track on The Howard Stern Show that the song was "loosely based on Kurt Cobain," the rocker scrunched up his face and replied: "Errr, it's kinda more about heroes that are ordinary.

When the shock jock asked if it's because heroes disappoint you, he clarified: "Not at all. I look up to regular people, more than I up to Dave Grohl has never really official attributed My Hero to one person, instead suggesting it was more about the "common man".

In , the band released a statement when Republican candidate John McCain used the track without their permission. To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song.

Last year, the meaning of My Hero was solidified further when it was used to celebrate healthcare workers and essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
