Dave Grohl - Michael Heatley

Updated through the Foo Fighters Greatest Hits, this guide to his career places the singer/guitarist/drummer in the context of contemporaries and musical styles that have influenced him

Dave Grohl, frontman for the Foo Fighters, will always be remembered as the drummer for Nirvana—a band that occupied the cultural consciousness in a way that few others ever have—and this book looks at Grohl's career to date, telling the story from before Nirvana to the Foo Fighters and beyond. It covers all the recordings—from the monumental Nevermind, which rocketed Nirvana to superstardom, to the Foo Fighters' million-selling album One by One, and its Grammy-winning single, All My Life. It looks at the lawsuit initiated by Courtney Love, Grohl's emergence as the touring drummer for underground hard-rock outfit Queens of the Stone Age, and the work he's done with Tom Petty, Probot, Nine Inch Nails, Garbage, and Killing Joke.
