Dave Grohl started his musical career, when he was a teenager, he
wrote songs and played guitar. He also performed, with other popular
hardcore punk groups. He joined a popular band in the 80s, known as
hardcore band scream and became the drummer of the band. In his final
days, as a drummer in hardcore band scream, he started to write his own
material at the basement studio of his close friend Barrett Jones. Some
of the songs, which Grohl wrote were featured on the hardcore band
scream last album. After hardcore band scream tour in 1990, Dave Grohl
decided to quit from the band and joined Nirvana. This forced Grohl to
shift to Seattle.
Grohl
decided to go back to D.C, after Nirvana produced and recorded "Never
mind". He went to D.C and recorded a few singles, which were featured on
Pocket watch, a cassette which was released by simple machines. In
1992, Grohl was very busy with Nirvana but when the group was not
performing or recording any songs, he used to record his own songs with
Jones. They recorded a few songs until 1993, when Grohl decided to go
back to Nirvana band. He was planning to release another independent
cassette in 1993, but he was not successful. After the death of Kurt
Cobain, Grohl decided to be silent.
After a few months, Grohl and
Jones recorded an album, which became Foo fighter's debut album. On the
album, Grohl played all the instruments. He produced more than eight
copies of the tape and gave out the tapes to friends. Instead of Grohl,
moving on as a solo artist, he formed a band. The band was called Foo
fighters. It was established after World War II. After the band was
formed, they signed a record deal with Capitol records. Foo Fighters
released their debut album in 1995 and became successful in United
States.
In 1996, the band toured extensively, to support the
album. Towards the end of 1996, the band went back to studio and
recorded their second album. Foo Fighters band worked with a good
producer known as Gil Norton.
When they were recording their
second album, the band suffered a huge blow after William Goldsmith,
decided to leave the group. William left the group because of creative
tension, within the band and this made Grohl, to play drums in all the
songs. Before, Foo Fighters band, released their second album in 1997,
the band replaced William with Taylor Hawkins. Despite Foo fighters
being successful in the 90s, the band members were facing a lot of
challenges, like when the band released their first album they were
criticized because of coping heavily, the music style of Nirvana band
