Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl joined Nirvana in 1990 as their drummer, playing on the band's breakthrough album 'Nevermind.' After Kurt Cobain's death in 1994, Grohl started Foo Fighters, recording most of their first album himself. That debut showed his ability to write and play nearly everything, moving from behind the drum kit to fronting a band.

Foo Fighters became a steady rock presence with songs like 'Long Road to Ruin' and 'Wheels.' Grohl has also worked on side projects, including the documentary 'Sound City' and collaborations like 'From Can To Can't' with Corey Taylor and others. He wrote about his experiences in the 2021 memoir 'The Storyteller.'

His playing draws from classic rock and punk, but he's mostly known for keeping a big, straightforward rock sound going through the Foo Fighters. The band's longevity, rather than any single dramatic moment, defines his career after Nirvana.
