Dave Grohl<\/a> has always remained a student of rock and roll. <\/p>\n Since he was a boy learning how to play songs out of a Beatles songbook, Grohl always was on the search for the next band that would set his world on fire. While Grohl was starting the Foo Fighters following the tragic end of Nirvana, he began to develop a love for the Britpop explosion going on half a world away, and Oasis still occupy a special place in his heart.<\/p>\n At the time, Britpop was dominating the British charts, with bands like Oasis and Blur reshaping guitar music for a new generation. For Grohl, who had just emerged from the collapse of Nirvana, the swagger and melodic confidence of Oasis felt like a refreshing reminder of how joyful rock music could be.<\/p>\n When talking about his history with his peers, Grohl mentioned having nothing but love for Oasis. In an interview with XFM in 2014, the Foo Fighters singer said of the now-defunct band (via NME<\/a>): \u201cWe all love Oasis. We\u2019ve played shows with them before, where I look at them and think \u2018That\u2019s the greatest rock band I\u2019ve ever seen in my life\u2019\u201d. <\/p>\n Since then, Grohl has played shows with Liam Gallagher<\/a>, and also regularly shared his frustration about their refusal to patch things up for an Oasis reunion. In the same aforementioned interview, the former Nirvana drummer slammed the brothers for their decision to remain split up and said: \u201cTo know that they\u2019re out there somewhere, but they won\u2019t come together to do the thing that everybody would love so much. I\u2019m like \u2018you assholes\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n Grohl has long been vocal about his admiration for bands that capture the pure spectacle of rock and roll. Oasis, with their stadium-sized anthems and larger-than-life personalities, embodied that spirit perfectly. It\u2019s little wonder that he remained baffled that such a powerful musical partnership could remain fractured for so long.<\/p>\n The Gallaghers have never been shy about their disdain for each other though, with Liam always asking for Noel to get the band back together only for \u2018The Chief\u2019 to reiterate his lack of interest. In the years that followed, the Foo Fighters have been on much better terms with Liam, who has played on bills with the band and performed at the tribute concert for the late Taylor Hawkins in London.<\/p>\n When Noel heard about Grohl\u2019s comments, he wasn\u2019t shy about putting Grohl in his place either, remarking at a gig in San Diego: \u201cIs anyone gonna sign that petition Dave Grohl wants to get together to get us back together? I hereby start a petition to break up the Foo Fighters. Anyone free can fucking sign it. If the fucking drummer from Nirvana wants to get Oasis back together, he can come up on-stage and suck my fucking dick anytime he likes\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n What they didn\u2019t know at the time is that the duo would eventually make amends, start a mammoth world tour and spark new rumours of a new record. Whether that comes to fruition or not remains to be seen, but Grohl certainly got his wish, and Oasis had one last ride. <\/p>\n As the years went by, Hawkins also turned up the heat and brutally said Noel should just get \u201cthe good singer\u201d back in his band. Grohl also showed his pride for Team Liam when he co-wrote the solo song, \u2018Everything\u2019s Electric\u2019, and told NME<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s like putting a fucking quarter in a jukebox and just turning it up with that guy. It\u2019s fucking great. Obviously, he\u2019s an amazing singer, and he\u2019s a fucking rock star. He is one of the few last remaining rock stars\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credits: Raph Pour-Hashemi) Sun 8 March 2026 10:31, UK Dave Grohl has always remained a student of rock…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191903,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[40226,93,61,60,8643,278,24924,655],"class_list":{"0":"post-335503","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-dave-grohl","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-liam-gallagher","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-noel-gallagher","15":"tag-oasis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335503\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
