Why The Foo Fighters Rock
Dave Grohl the singer and guitarist of one of the worlds well known grunge bands called ‘Nirvana’ took up the job of forming a new band as his previous band had broken due to the death of the lead singer Kurt Cobain. Later in 1995 Dave Grohl formed the band Foo Fighters in Seattle, Washington along with the members of the band bass guitarist Nate Mendel, drummer William Goldsmith and guitarist Pat Smear.
The first album by the band was named as Foo Fighters and the second album was named as The Color and the shape. After the release of the second album two members from the band decided to leave the band for some reasons. They were Pat Smear and drummer William Goldsmith , both were later replaced by Franz Stahl and Taylor Hawkins respectively.
After this the band started to get prepared for their third album which they called ‘there is Nothing Left to Lose’. During this period there was several difference of opinion between Dave Grohl and the new guitarist Franz Stahl over some of their works. This resulted in Grohl firing Franz Stahl though he was very upset to do it. Thus the remaining members of the band worked on the album to release it. Their next album had several solos and one of the solos called ‘Learn to Fly’ was a huge hit and made it to the top of the US Hot list.
The band’s fourth album took a lot of time to come out as all the members of the band were working on separate projects from outside. The band leader David Grohl was not so satisfied with the fourth album which was named ‘One by one’ and also showed his disapproval for many songs in the album.
Dave made up his mind not to rush through things for his next album and wanted it to make a mark on people as well a success for them. Thus their next album ‘In your Honor’ became a big hit with the people. This was their second record breaking success and many of the songs in the album like ‘Miracle’, ‘Best of you’ and ‘Resolve’ became chart busters.
