All the varied strands of Grohl's musical output are examined in this detailed guide to his career, placing the singer/guitarist/drummer superstar in the context of contemporaries and musical styles that have influenced him. Born in Ohio but raised in Washington, DC, Grohl's first professional drumming work was with Scream. Heatley examines this early period, before turning to Grohl's contribution to Nirvana's immortal album "Nevermind." After Kurt Cobain's 1994 suicide, Grohl relaunched his career as guitarist/singer of the Foo Fighters, the band originally created as a studio vehicle for Grohl's songwriting ambitions. The Foos' eponymous 1995 first release went platinum, and 1997's "The Colour and the Shape" was another a worldwide hit. Two years later, "There is Nothing Left to Lose" was released to equal critical acclaim. Heatley looks closely at the development of the Foo Fighters during this period and at the contributions made by the other members of the band. In 2002, Grohl surprised everyone by climbing back on the drummer's stool again to tour with hard rock contenders Queens of the Stone Age (he has also played with Tom Petty, Probot, Nine Inch Nails, Garbage, and Killing Joke). As Grohl changes and develops, few can predict his next move. As the man himself said "I've done almost everything I could imagine doing."
