Everyone from Sir Paul McCartney and Jimmy Page to Queens of the
Stone Age now relishes the chance to share a stage with Dave Grohl
and his legendary Foo Fighters. The question is: why? Musical
depth? Not really. Major success? Well, yes. Despite no longer
shifting albums in the same quantity as they did twenty years ago,
this band can still fill stadiums the world over (when Dave's not
breaking his leg, of course). Long before Kurt Cobain blew his
brains out in 1994, Dave Grohl was planning for a life after
Nirvana. The unflinching bright sunlight to Cobain's permanent
midnight darkness, Grohl had come from a similar broken home to his
erstwhile band leader, but came out of the experience differently -
brimming with positivity and a shrewd grasp of opportunities in the
music industry. Did Grohl merely take the sonic blueprint of
Nirvana and embellish it with a more life-affirming pop sheen? Of
course he did. Every band in America that sold over a million
records in the post-grunge 90s did the same. The difference was
that Grohl had real credibility. And he knew it. With exclusive
testimony from true insiders (including Krist Novoselic, Grohl's
bass-playing partner in Nirvana, ex-girlfirends, record company
executives, tour photographers and confidantes), this book is an
exploration of the real story behind Grohl and the Foo Fighters -
the only serious literary biography of the group and its leader,
one of the most famous and critically bulletproof rock figures of
the 21st century.
