History[edit] Formation and debut album (1994–1995)[edit] Frontman Kurt Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home on April 8, 1994, and Nirvana subsequently disbanded. Grohl received offers to work with various artists; he almost accepted a permanent position as drummer in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Ultimately Grohl declined and instead entered Robert Lang Studios in October 1994 to record fifteen of the forty songs he had written.[5] With the exception of a guitar part on "X-Static", played by Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs, Dave Grohl played every instrument and sang every vocal on the tracks.[6] "I was supposed to just join another band and be a drummer the rest of my life," Grohl later said.
"I thought that I would rather do what no one expected me to do. I enjoy writing music and I enjoy trying to sing, and there's nothing anyone can really do to discourage me. " The Colour and the Shape (1996–1997)[edit] There Is Nothing Left to Lose (1998–2001)[edit] Foo Fighters - Best Of You.
