* "The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners" is named after the two miners who survived a [[wikipedia:Beaconsfield Mine collapse|2006 mine collapse in Tasmania]], who specifically requested the band's music (along with food, water and toothpaste) to be brought down to them while they waited to be rescued. Upon hearing this, Grohl personally wrote a fax to the miners to be brought down to them offering to share a beer with them when they were rescued.
* In 2000, on [[David Letterman]]'s first ''Late Show'' back after open heart surgery, the band rescheduled a ''whole leg of their tour'' to perform the then 3-year old "Everlong" on the show. The resulting performance, in which Letterman introduces the band as "[[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|my favorite band, performing my favorite song]]" is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz_3G3sSufs nothing short of amazing].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph3A6HVlGp4 This cover of] [[The Police|"Next To You"]], with Taylor Hawkins [[Step Up to the Microphone|on vocals]] and Stewart Copeland - who Hawkins has cited a one of his chief influences - as guest drummer. At the end of the song, Hawkins [[Squee|gets up and hugs Copeland]] before taking over again.
* One incident described in the Back & Forth documentary: in the early 2000s in London, Taylor overdosed and was in a coma at the hospital. After a couple weeks he woke up, and the conversation Dave describes goes like this:
{{quote| '''Dave''': "Dude, it's gonna be okay."<br />
'''Taylor''': "Fuck off!"<br />
'''Dave''': (thinking) "Oh good, everything's gonna be okay." }}
* If you're a fan of rock distressed by the state of music today (and believe me, I know how you feel) just listen to Dave Grohl's award acceptance speech at the 2012 Grammys. It will reinforce your faith in music as a whole.
