The Foo Fighters were formed at the end of 1994 by former Scream and Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl (b. 14 January 1969, Warren, Ohio, USA), now switched to guitar and vocals. There was some conjecture that the Nirvana bass player Krist Novoselic would join him in this venture, but Grohl eventually recruited Pat Smear (guitar, ex-Germs and a "fourth" member of Nirvana during their later career), Nate Mendel (b. 2 December 1968, Seattle, Washington, USA; bass) and William Goldsmith (b. 4 July 1972, Seattle, Washington, USA; drums). The latter pair had previously played with Seattle band Sunny Day Real Estate. Their debut single, "This Is A Call', was released on Roswell/Capitol Records in June 1995. The Foo Fighters" arrival initiated intense A&R activity, but Grohl opted for Capitol through the auspices of Gary Gersh, who had been Nirvana's A&R representative at Geffen Records. With media expectations weighing heavily on the project, analysis of the band's debut album focused on tracks such as "I'll Stick Around", which some alleged was an attack on Cobain's widow, Courtney Love. Both the song's title and its lyrical refrain ("I don't owe you anything") seemed to pursue some form of personal exorcism, but it was hard to argue against the sheer impact of Grohl's new canon of songs. |
