Kurt Cobain’s suicide in 1994 left the rock world in shock. Dave Grohl, the drummer of Nirvana, pulled himself together from this disastrous incident in the best way, by creating one of the best bands of rock that have walked the earth in the last 25 years. Who’d have thought that Nirvana had two great songwriters?
Foo Fighters was named after the U.S. military’s nickname for fighter planes dispatched to investigate UFO sightings. It begins as a solo project with Dave Grohl as the only official member, later he recruited bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, both formerly of Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as fellow Nirvana touring bandmate Pat Smear as guitarist to complete the lineup.
Foo Fighters have clinched an impressive 15 Grammy Awards, with five wins in the Best Rock Album category, solidifying their status as one of the most accomplished rock acts in Grammy history. In 2021, the band was honored with the inaugural “Global Icon” award at the MTV Video Music Awards. Additionally, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility, also in 2021.
