After the tragic demise of one of the most critically acclaimed grunge bands of the early 1990s, a new music project arose. Originally intended as a solo endeavor by a talented multi-instrumentalist (and former Nirvana drummer), Dave Grohl, the debut Foo Fighters album captured the interest of music industry executives.
Grohl had intended the Foo Fighters
moniker to provide him with a bit of anonymity; however, he soon realized that a full band would soon be required to support the attention-grabbing endeavor. Slowly a full line-up of talented musicians coalesced around its founding member and primary songwriter.
By the time the band released its sophomore album, they were landing singles on music charts worldwide. Over the years, the Foo Fighters
have won more than 10 Grammy Awards and continue to crank out chart topping singles and terrific – and often humorous – supporting videos.
In this episode, Team Derringer
is joined by long-time friend and music super-fan, DP Derringer. Join the crew as they recap the founding of the Foo Fighters
and explore their all-time favorite Foo Fighters
songs.
