About Foo Fighters
Birthplace
Seattle, WA, United States
The Foo Fighters is a Grammy Award winning American alternative rock band from Seattle, Washington. The band was founded by Nirvana’s drummer Dave Grohl after the death of Kurt Cobain. Originally as a solo project, Grohl recruited drummer William Goldsmith, bassist Nate Mendel and guitarist Pat Smear in 1994. The band decided on the name Foo Fighters with inspiration taken from a World War II term for UFOs. By 1995, the band released their self titled debut album, ‘Foo Fighters’, mostly consisting of Dave Grohl’s solo work. The album’s single ‘This Is A Call’ launched the album into popularity and eventually turned the album platinum in the U.S. In 1996, the band released their second album ‘The Color and the Shape’ before drummer Goldsmith was replaced with Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Smear was replaced by Chris Shiflett.
