Interesting facts and trivia about No Son Of Mine. By Songfacts®.

"No Son Of Mine" finds Dave Grohl addressing two-faced people in power who say one thing and do another. "This is the kind of song that just resides in all of us and if it makes sense at the time, we let it out," the Foo Fighters frontman said in a statement. "Lyrically it's meant to poke at the hypocrisy of self-righteous leaders, people that are guilty of committing the crimes they're supposedly against."

Dave Grohl has three children - all daughters - so it's clear he is not literally talking about a son. Rather, he is comparing the bad actions and behavior of leaders to the moral characteristics he hopes his offspring will have.

Musically, the ear-ringing track finds the Foo Fighters returning to their riff-tastic arena rock stylings with nods to Metallica's debut album Kill 'Em All and early '80s-era Motörhead. They released the rocker as the second single from Medicine At Midnight following the more laid-back and groovy "Shame Shame."
