Got a question for the posse...
I just watched a performance of the Foo Fighters and thought I saw Pat Smear on stage. Is he back in the band?
I don't know, but did you see them on HDnet?

You are correct, sir...
He played with them at the Grammys and even took the stage with them when they won their award. It was the first I had seen or heard of Pat Smears with the Foo Fighters. Their official website doesn't have him listed as a band member and I can't find any news items, blog items, etc about him playing with them. However, there are pics of him in the tour photos. Intersting.
Did anyone realize how tall he is before now?
Edit: Found this on Wikipedia
In May of 2006, the Foo Fighters announced they would play limited acoustic dates across North America. It was announced Smear would be one of the touring musicians aiding the band during the shows. He also appeared with them on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in September 2006 and on the same stage as Bob Dylan and The Eagles at Genentech's 30th Anniversary party. On October 21 and 22, 2006 he also joined the band for both days of the Bridge School Benefit Concert, hosted by Neil Young. In addition he is a featured musician on the Foo Fighters live album Skin and Bones.

He appeared with the band on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on November 9. He played both Foo Fighters dates at the O2 Arena, London on November 17 and 18 2007.

I can see how someone might not like the Foo Fighters, but you have to enjoy their videos. No one makes a better video than them...

Apparantly I don't. What's so funny?
