Chasing UFO's in WWII.

The band

Foo Fighters is an American rock band, formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1994. It was founded by drummer Dave Grohl as a one-man project following the dissolution of Nirvana. Other members are Nate Mendel (bass guitar),  Taylor Hawkins (drums, percussion and backing vocals), Chris Shiflett (guitar and backing vocals) and Pat Smear (guitar).

 

My album

In Your Honor was released in June 2005. Grohl insisted that the album be divided into two discs: one full of rock songs, the other featuring acoustic tracks. I chose this album mainly because the second disc helped me put my second child to sleep so many times...

 

My song

The Pretender (Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, 2007). Why? Because I love the way the music builds from a clean guitar riff at intro to all instruments playing strong. And the music video is also stunning.

 

Did you know?

With the exception of a guitar part on X-Static, played by Greg Dulli, Grohl played every instrument and sang every vocal on the tracks for his debut solo album in 1994, just six months after Kurt Cobain's death.
