Imagine a Beatle honoring you and your career.

That’s what happened for Foo Fighters as Paul McCartney inducted the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday.

McCartney used his speech to make comparisons to his and frontman Dave Grohl’s careers, saying they both had to bounce back after the ends of their famous bands.

“And so then the question is, what do you do now?,” McCartney said in the speech. “And we both were presented with that question. In my case, I thought, Well, I’ll make an album where I play all the instruments myself. So I did that. Dave’s group broke up, what’s he to do? He makes an album where he plays all the instruments himself.

Frontman Dave Grohl gave a simple speech, talking about the unity of the band’s family.

“So I would like to say that the best thing about being here tonight is being surrounded by our family,” said Grohl. “And when I say that, I mean, if anybody knows how the Foo Fighters work, the people that we are with and we’ve worked with, it’s been 20, 25, 30 years and we stick together like a family.”

Drummer Taylor Hawkins used his speech to endorse possible future inductions of Jane’s Addiction and George Michael.

McCartney joked, “Do you think this guy’s stalking me?”

How have you dealt with a career transition? Who would you want to induct you into a Hall of Fame?
