Foo Fighters have always been open about their close ties with one another. They even took a leap off stage and onto the big screen with the horror comedy "Studio 666" in 2022, per New York Post. They play themselves in the film, so naturally, their over-the-top silliness and ability to make fun of their personas come into play as they encounter demonic possessions and carnage. The squabbles they experience as a band may be of the fictional variety, but there have been real disagreements throughout their history.

In an Apple Music Essentials interview, the band talked about a rocky period while working on their fourth album, "One by One." Grohl noted the recordings weren't working out and "the enthusiasm wasn't really there." Guitarist Chris Shiflett recalled a huge argument after the first time playing "Times Like These" in a rehearsal. "It was maybe the closest the band actually ever really did come to breaking up but then didn't!" Disagreements, however, weren't always about music alone.

When Dave Grohl and Jennifer Youngblood split up in 1997, it presented a difficult situation for another band member. Guitarist Pat Smear was close friends with Youngblood. The breakup, in addition to touring fatigue and Grohl's overall control of the group, led Pat Smear to leave the Foo Fighters despite a big rise in the band's popularity, per Far Out. Luckily, he kept in touch and ended up rejoining in 2005, proving a solid lasting friendship regardless of past decisions.
