Euphoric tuned music journalists say Dave Grohl today so much good stuff to. Mr. guy nicest in rock or even the best drummer in the world writes today as a happy-making when Dave Grohl is involved in any music production also remotely. And of course none of this is true. And if so, then maybe half. If the musical presence has already boast no genuine living rock legend (Jack White and Josh Homme would most likely have a chance) must hold still serve their idols. And Dave Grohl is one of the few to which can probably still some many even today. But what should you admire him most? For his numerous gigs as a drummer with the Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, Garbage or Killing Joke? For his time with Nirvana? Or maybe the Foo Fighters? His Originally founded as a one-man-project band, for which he could put together with Pat Smear, Nate Mendel and Goldsmith Will a full band soon had to continue to make his first attempt without Kurt Cobain and Krist Novaselic music. Rau, instinctively and immediately sounded Grohl`s new band. Not too far away from Nirvana, yet independent and already with a certain recognition value. Dave Grohl's flair for catchy melodies and simple hooks came here already been good to wear, yet but the debut of the Foo Fighters had perhaps too naive and frivolous. What the band but with The Colour & The Shape set before the listener just two years later, was not only a significant quantum leap to debut, but the unexpected leaving certificate of a musician whose passion although today of course play the drums, whose ambitions but still the one Songwriters were real. Hard, loud, quiet, soulful to acoustically relaxing moments. The Colour & The Shape covered such a wide, varied style palette, with which one had hardly expected at this time as the largest complainers. And with producer Gil Norton, who among other things has the Pixies gave the final touch, they found even the fittest man who the album gave a powerful, extremely tight sound, the and even the hardest rock boards like Monkey Wrench, My Poor Brain or Wind Up airy made it sound lightweight. Nirvana were the right band at the right time, but The Colour & The Shape is Dave Grohl`s legacy. Here he took out everything that was in him. And it consumed all the albums of the Foo Fighters, who were to follow.
