About to BREAK UP After Spending 1 Million on Record They HATED…Band Wrote an Opus—Professor of Rock

They spent roughly a million dollars making an album that should have been the biggest of its time. However, after the better part of a year, this band, Foo Fighters threw it all away… They completely scrapped the record. No one in the band liked the finished tracks, which Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins dubbed them the “Million Dollar Demos.” Even worse, all four band members were all at each others’ throats. In-fighting was on the verge of fist-fighting. Three albums into their career, they were done. Or so it seemed. With their frontman touring with another band, but somehow they found their mojo and recorded 14 new songs in a matter of days… Including today’s iconic ‘never say die” hit single, Times Like These...This song turned everything around for this band as they stared down the crossroads. It’s a story of near disaster and unexpected miracles…and how the song has a whole new meaning now… the story is NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

So, it’s time for another edition of #1 in Our Hearts. This show honors songs that were so unbelievably great, they absolutely should've been #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. But for whatever reason, be it radio play, lack of marketing, changing musical tastes, or just sheer stupidity, the song came up short. On previous episodes we have covered Buddy Holly by Weezer, Zombie by The Cranberries, My Friends by The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

So today’s track’s chart position I’m chalking up to sheer stupidity. Let’s just say it didn’t even come close to #1. But that’s not at all on the band. Rather, it was just the state of popular music was at the time. Even so, this song, is a no-brainer #1… Since it’s inception, it has inspired listeners to fight through adversity and has instilled hope in all who hear it. . From one of the biggest rock bands still out there, and still going strong… It’s Times Like These by Foo Fighters. So after coming home from touring their third album There Is Nothing Left To Lose in early 2001, Foo Fighters were already looking ahead to their next record. For reference, at this time Foo Fighters consisted of multi-instrumentalist frontman Dave Grohl, bassist Nate Mendel, drummer Taylor Hawkins, and newcomer guitarist Chris Schiflett.

As the year progressed, the band made some headway on their fourth album, writing new music and recording demos… however, by late summer the Foos hit the skids when a catastrophic blow almost took out Hawkins. After playing the V Festival in the UK, the legendary drummer was hospitalized after an alleged heroin overdose. Taylor went comatose for two days. Said Hawkins, “I was partying in London one night, and I mistakenly did something and it changed everything… I just got out of control for a while and it almost got me.”
