Grohl's first exposure to the world of music was as the drummer for Nirvana, one of the most influential bands of [[The Nineties]]. However, Nirvana disbanded after the death of frontman [[Kurt Cobain (Music)|Kurt Cobain]]. Grohl, knowing his perception in the public's mind as [[Overshadowed By Awesome|just another drummer]], decided to start his own band, the Foo Fighters, and is the creative force behind their output; basically every single noise on their first album was him, whether it was made by drums, guitar, bass or voice. He is also ''very'' busy; while the discography below is somewhat exaggerated, it's not joking about how much he's in demand. Certain snarkers have even joked that the ''[[Rock Band]]'' video games should be retitled "Dave Grohl Band," considering that he is involved in ''four'' of the contributing acts (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures), which is more than basically everyone else on the planet.

/wiki/Dave Grohlcreator

American rock musician and multi-instrumentalist known for his work with Nirvana and creating Foo Fighters.

Grohl's first exposure to the world of music was as the drummer for Nirvana, one of the most influential bands of The Nineties. However, Nirvana disbanded after the death of frontman Kurt Cobain. Grohl, knowing his perception in the public's mind as just another drummer, decided to start his own band, the Foo Fighters, and is the creative force behind their output; basically every single noise on their first album was him, whether it was made by drums, guitar, bass or voice. He is also very busy; while the discography below is somewhat exaggerated, it's not joking about how much he's in demand. Certain snarkers have even joked that the Rock Band video games should be retitled "Dave Grohl Band," considering that he is involved in four of the contributing acts (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures), which is more than basically everyone else on the planet.
