Foo Fighters

The lead singer kinda looks like the drummer for Nirvana.

Foo Fighters formed in Seattle in 1994. Founded as a one-man project by the former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, the lineup now consists of Grohl (lead vocals, guitar), Nate Mendel (bass), Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear (guitars), Rami Jaffee (keyboards), and Josh Freese (drums), formerly Taylor Hawkins who passed in 2022. Grohl created Foo Fighters after the breakup of Nirvana in 1994 to release solo material. Prior to the release of Foo Fighters’ 1995 eponymous debut album, he recruited Mendel and William Goldsmith (drums), and Smear, who had played with Nirvana on tour. The band made their first public performance in February 1995. [Read more HERE]
