Shortly after the Foo Fighters moved out to Hollywood, Dave Grohl wrote this song about his negative opinions of the area. Grohl on the song, "I wrote 'Stacked Actors' about everything that is fake and everything that is plastic and glamorous and unreal, so if that pertains to anyone that comes to mind then there you go. It's about having nothing better to do than trying to be other people, it really grossed me out. Actors, just in general make me f--king sick." (quote courtesy: www.fooarchive.com)
Many believe this song, as well as "I'll Stick Around" and several other Foo songs, are inspired by Courtney Love, widow of Grohl's friend and former bandmate Kurt Cobain, since the lyrics appear that they could be about how bad Courtney was for Kurt, and how she may be responsible for his death.
