What’s it like to step out from the shadow of one of the biggest rock bands in the world and stand on your own? 🎸
In this clip from The Plug w/ Justin Jay, Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett opens up about the very different experience of being a solo artist versus performing as part of the legendary Foo Fighters. He reflects on pride, identity, and perspective—touching on the band’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, 25th anniversary, and the deep sense of nostalgia that came after the passing of Taylor Hawkins.

👉 Watch as Shiflett discusses how going solo challenges him creatively, what it feels like to win over new audiences, and why he tries to keep music from defining his entire identity.
