Foo Fighters — Iron Rooster

Have you ever been dumb enough to do what you wanted to do
Without good reason coming over you?
Have you ever been young enough to feel what you wanted to feel?
Take back those years for something real

A deep cut from the Saint Cecilia EP era is broadly charting today, appearing on 93 country and platform charts after weeks hovering near a quarter of that. The driver is live: Foo Fighters have pulled the rarity back into rotation during their 2026 club run, with Billboard noting their Irving Plaza underplay marked the fourth performance of the song this year — only the eighth in its history, since the band's revival follows a 25-year gap for the track. Built on a slow-burn riff and Grohl's confessional verses, Iron Rooster has always sat at the introspective edge of the catalog, miles from the arena anthems. The renewed stage presence has sent fans back to the studio version. Watch whether the broader 2026 setlist lifts other rarities alongside it.
