While he was drumming with Nirvana,
Dave Grohl was recording original songs at home that
never received public release. Those tapes would
become the foundation of the Foo Fighters, the band
he formed in 1995, after the death of Kurt Cobain.
Like Nirvana, the Foo Fighters melded loud, heavy
guitars with pretty melodies and mixed punk
sensibilities with a sharp sense of pop songwriting.
Dave Grohl began playing guitar and writing songs in
his early teens, as well as performing with a
variety of hardcore punk bands.
