Foo Fighters Dave Grohl: Why Are Bands So Short?

April 5, 2011
Foo Fighters Dave Grohl: Why Are Bands So Short?Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has poked fun at groups with short band members.

In an interview with The Sun, the singer said he couldn't understand why band's no longer featured taller members.

He said: "Bands are short now. What the f*ck happened? They're little people. I don't know if it's genetics or evolution. I just remember dudes in bands being big.

"When I was in Queens Of The Stone Age with Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri and Mark Lanegan it was like that movie The Warriors.

"When the four of us walked backstage the piano player stopped playing. Nobody f*cked with those dudes. They were big men."
