They auditioned about 70 people and I was one of the last ones that got to audition so even though they'd already kinda wanted Chris they still auditioned everybody else because that really is the stand-up guys they are. They could've easily just said nah we got the guy we want but they were cool enough to let everyone else come in and audition. That experience was what makes them one of my favorite bands

Chris has been one of the most solid lead guitarists in rock for the last 15+ years, never overplaying but you always know it's him when his lead parts come in.

Chris's speaking voice is actually great, he should do voiceover or broadcasting work.

It's so funny that everyone in Foo Fighters seem to talk the same way, like in the same tone, lol (they are all great storytellers tho...)

Chris is so rad! I played drums in a band called 22 Jack's with Chris. So damn happy for him! His brother Scott was also in 22Jacks! Both incredible players!

Foo Fighters or Gun N Roses? I think he made the right choice.

I've seen them live and up close a few times and I've noticed Chris during group interviews looking comfortable to just sit and let Dave do all the talking. I always took him for someone kind of shy and introverted (at lease compared to the rest of the band) until now. He's really well-spoken and animated and seemingly down-to-earth. I'd love to drink beer with this whole crew and listen to their stories.

I just bought his tribute guitar the fender telecaster deluxe...I've never ever in my life bought a guitar with an artists name on it..but I like the Foo fighters they are just simply down to Earth rock legends!

Chris Shiflett really is a superstar guitarist, seriously technical and fast. One of the best in the business IMO. I can't imagine Foo Fighters without him!

I saw Chris Shiflett and band in 2010 at TT the Bears, Cambridge, MA. I paid my $10 fee and went to the bar. TT's was a very small place. I was extremely tired and thought about staying at the bar, which only two other people sat, and I'd listen from there. When I saw Chris and the band take the stage, I got up and slowly lumbered over the the stage floor area, all of 20 feet away. At that moment, Chris sized up the room and wanting everybody in front of the stage, he called out the couple whom stayed at the bar. They did get up and walk to the stage floor area and I started laughing. So if you ever see Chris Shiflett live, he is quick witted and he will notice you. The 45 minute set was good, original, straight up Rock.

I like his work and place in the Foos. He's a nice piece of the puzzle!

His time in No Use For A Name and playing with Tony Sly was a great time in both there careers.

I had never seen FF before this years concert tour, but have been listening to them since the first CD... Got a phone call to scrimmage Chris and their sounds/bodyguards at some indoor soccer!!! Then we got free all access tickets for the concert in Cincinnati!!! Woot!!! Chris was a pretty decent player, by the way.

epic, they knew he could play amazingly, it seems they mainly wanted to hang with him to see what he's like as a person, so cool

It is pretty cool that he was asked to audition for Guns N' Roses
