Foo Fighters - My Hero

Foo Fighters 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. The Colour and the Shape (1996–1997)[edit] After touring through the spring of 1996, Foo Fighters entered Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, Washington with producer Gil Norton to record its second album. Long-time drummer Taylor Hawkins (pictured in 2012) joined the band in 1997.
