Foo Fighters
Biography
Foo Fighters for some time was the studio project of Nirvana's former drummer Dave Grohl. Actually, Grohl started writing songs a long time before Cobain's death (1994). But he remembered well an old musical joke: "A: - What did the drummer say just before he was fired? B: - He said: "Hey guys, lets play one of my songs!" He also realised that every joke was founded on facts. So Grohl wrote songs without showing them to Nirvana members. Soon after he was free Grohl recorded a number of demos and decided that first of all he needed a band for the project. He refused of Novoselic's candidacy at once because of Nirvana's powerful glory. But the artist was lucky - he heard that a group Sunny Day Real Estate was disbanded and two of their former members agreed to cooperate with him - bass player Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith. Soon the unofficial Nirvana second guitarist Pat Smear finished the picture. This line-up recorded the eponymous debut album in 1995 after the tour. Their energetic and emotional Rock songs This Is A Call, I'll Stick Around, For All The Cows and Big Me cought the eye of wide audience. Though it was only the beginning of the band career.
