2. Who replaced Pat Smear when he quit the band?

Answer: Franz Stahl

When Pat Smear announced that he was leaving the band, Dave Grohl asked his friend and former Scream bandmate, Franz Stahl, to take his place. Pat agreed to tour with the band until Stahl was ready to take over. Franz replaced Smear on the top of Radio City Music Hall at the MTV Music Awards.
