"There’s injustice, and so much hate and fear, and it’s such a drag." Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl says it's difficult not to feel angry and disillusioned about the state of America in 2026

Dave Grohl in Los Angeles, 2025.

Dave Grohl has reflected on the state of America in 2026, and admitted that he doesn't like what he sees.

In a new interview with The Irish Times, the Foo Fighters leader acknowledges that there's much about his homeland that's distressing at the present time.

Asked by journalist Lauren Murphy if it's difficult not to feel angry and disillusioned when looking at America, Grohl says, "Yeah, of course. It’s hard not to feel political living in America, where we’re deeply divided. And there’s injustice, and there’s so much hate and fear, and it’s such a drag."

"I try to love everyone," he adds, "because I think that’s what you’re supposed to do - and I do. But there needs to be change in that direction, and it’s been hard to find in the States."
