Pat was their second guitarist on in utero tour. Nate Mendel and William Goldsmith were from a Sub Pop band called Sunny Day Real Estate, which broke up over two year ago. Dave had heard them play, and was blown away. When he heard that the band had split up, he asked the two to join Foo Fighters. William Goldsmith left the band in February of 1997 to pursue "other musical interests," leaving the Foos drummerless for a short period. His replacement was Taylor Hawkins, whose last gig was as the drummer for Alanis Morrisette's band. Over the course of the summer of 1997, rumors surfaced that Pat was going to quit after their European tour. These rumors turned out to be true, and at the MTV Music Video Awards on September 4th, Pat played his last song with the Foo Fighters, "Monkey Wrench." He then introduced his replacement, Franz Stahl, former guitarist of Scream and Wool. what does Foo fighters mean? Near the end of WWII, the U.S. Air Force patrolling German airspace encountered highly maneuverable balls of light in the area between Hagenau in Alsace-Lorraine and Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in the Rhine Valley.
