Update: 2025-12-22
Description
On November 3, 2009, the Foo Fighters released their first greatest hits album, featuring 16 tracks and two new recordings, including Word Forward. This song, a raw tribute to Dave Grohls childhood friend Jimmy Swanson, who died from a drug overdose, captures the raw grief of losing a dear friend. The band has only performed Word Forward live three times, adding to its personal and sacred nature. Grohls memoir, The Storyteller, further explores the impact of Jimmys death on him.
