A fact from Foghat appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 12 December 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:

It amazes me this band gets hardly any recognition
Foghat is also mentoned in several that 70s' show episodes, and in the prom episode there is a band playing Slow ride (SØX.)
Disco probably started around early 1974 with George McCrae who heavily influenced folks like KC & the Sunshine Band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.10.134.170 ( talk) 12:33, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Altered the link "England|British" to "United Kingdom|British". Important not to confuse 'England', 'Britain' etc. as Great Britain is made up of 3 countries, and linking the word Britain to 'England' would cause offence to any Welsh or Scots, as well as confusing the meaning, something which I spend a lot of time fixing on articles.

What is the origin of the name foghat? (I am thinking of Bender's color choice of foghat grey). -- WhiteDragon 13:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Dave Prevett said he name Foghat came from a game he played as a child. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.159.25.180 ( talk) 23:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Yes - I found an article where it is reported in an interview that it was a word he tried to use in a scrabble game. I think this is probably worth referencing. http://www.tulsaworld.com/article.aspx/Foghat_Blue_Oyster_Cult_set_for_River_Spirit_Event/20110811_269_wk9_cutlin33357 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.252.244.255 ( talk) 18:04, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone else think that the pop culture references to Slow Ride in the Trivia section could be moved into the article on the song itself since most of them are already mentioned there? I suggest in their place a pointer to that article. Tctwood ( talk) 10:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
C'mon guys. We've all had the radio on as kids. I can't remember anything of any significant playtime, certainly not of "hit" status, other than Slow Ride. In full disclosure I personally do think Foghat is horribly overrated, but I do believe that my observation here is objectively correct. Foghat really was a OHW with Slow Ride.

This is Wikipedia, not a classic rock message board, as such your personal opinion serves no purpose here and these comments should be rightfully deleted. ( Sellpink ( talk) 01:30, 23 October 2014 (UTC))
To follow on somewhat from the above comments. I am neither a fan nor enemy of this outfit, but the present article is full of unsourced fancruft, hear'say and whimiscal adultation; and devoid of sources, verifiability and balance. Can someone turn the tide from fansite to encyclopedia ?

I see it too: this is written more like a band newsletter than a WP article. I added a tag, and I'll try to come back to it if no one else steps up soon. SteveStrummer ( talk) 15:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Please: Doesn't somebody have a decent picture of the REAL Foghat? Charlie Huhn?? No offense to him, but Foghat is LONESOME DAVE, period. Charlie Huhn is a footnote. Please, somebody find a post a decent picture! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.80.112.230 ( talk) 17:54, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
I just got a "flash-back" - and wonder. Was "Honey Hush" not an LP aswell ? On which other album (but the Live) was the hit on ? Greatful for replies. 83.249.161.132 ( talk) 06:35, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
I just bought the older (1998) single disc version of the live album Road cases and wanted to know how I can add it...or if someone else can! There is also a 2 disc European version I am planning on getting.

I have fixed the membership section to show Rodney O'Quinn as a LIVE SUBSTITUTE for Craig MacGregor. I had previously put Jeff Howell as his live substitute based on recent live videos I have seen of them but after examining them it appears that O'Quinn is in fact their full time substitute (at least at most shows). He is listed in the "Touring musicians" section on the Foghat page as Craig MacGregor is still listed as an official member of the band on their official website and he will probably rejoin them on the road if he is able to overcome his illness. O'Quinn is not an official member of the band so he should not be shown anywhere in the band's infobox. MacGregor is still officially their bassist.
