Boots Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 At least Dave admitted he owes everything to Kurt. LOL http://www.nme.com/news/foo-fighters/56070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Dave Grohl owes most of his success to Kurt Cobain. The majority of Foo Fighters fans are just ex-Nirvana fans. They listen to the Foo Fighters because it helps them to feel closer to Kurt.Not in my experience. I've met plenty of FF fans that don't care about Nirvana. They don't have a negative opinion of Nirvana but they clearly prefer FF and are indifferent towards Cobain. Plus, FF have had so many years of success. It's not like the first album was popular, sounded similar to Nirvana, and then they faded. Besides, many FF fans were still literally in diapers when Nirvana was big so your last two sentences again don't stand. Allow me to prove JB's point here. I'm 18 today, love the Foo Fighters since I got into them via "These Days," and have never really been a fan of Nirvana, who are honestly one of my least favorite bands. I listen to the Foos because they rock hard, write good songs, and make me happy, and I owned at least three Foos records before I ever listened to a Nirvana record. EDIT: maybe only two Foos records, I don't remember exactly. Edited August 12, 2016 by Entre_Perpetuo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I need to listen to more Foo Fighters I've just listened to the singles / music video songs + Wasting Light As for Dave Grohl himself.. I find the guy to have a genuinely unique or "weird" personality :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 People have said he's the only modern day rockstar, but with emphasis on the "star" part. I kinda see where people are coming from with this, Foo Fighters is a relatively modern rock band that's pretty decent, and they're a household name in America. But he's not the only rockstar left, not by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I think Dave is one of the few old school, learn your instrument and play your a$$ off rock musicians that's still under 60. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I love Dave !!! Talented beyond talented and he doesn't take himself or the band too seriously. I don't view him as a star. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) I think they write and play music, and enjoy the hell out of it. Proof: Look at Dave and how he moves. Is this a guy/band just going through the motions ? Nope http://youtu.be/bu-wRmzYhR8 Edited August 13, 2016 by custom55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) Great version of Alone And Easy Target. Proof that Dave can play guitar, sing and chew gum at the same time. With a little Van Halen mingled in... http://youtu.be/qiQ0P-ZZpQk Edited August 13, 2016 by custom55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Dave Grohl owes most of his success to Kurt Cobain. The majority of Foo Fighters fans are just ex-Nirvana fans. They listen to the Foo Fighters because it helps them to feel closer to Kurt. Completely disagree. That might have been true in 1995 right out of the gate, but we're 21 years down the road from that. I suspect that there are vast numbers of Foos fans who dislike Nirvana and many younger fans who may not even know or care who they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Also to suggest (post from the first page) that Nirvana didn't have commercial inspirations, aspirations, or influences is absurd. There were a ton of catchy pop sensibilities in that band and Kurt embraced that. I reject the notion that Foos are merely contrivance. Rubbish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
