Born in Warren, Ohio, January 14,1969. David Grohl was already a superstar before forming the Foo Fighters, as he had been the drummer with Nirvana. Grohl has always said that he was in awe of the writing talents of Kurt Cobain, stating that during his time in Nirvana he would write many songs which he didn’t offer to the group, as he felt Cobain’s music was the sound of Nirvana (see also best songs 788 and 9.)
After the death of Cobain, and the split of Nirvana, Grohl recorded those songs, and they made up the majority of the Foo Fighters self titled debut Album, on which Grohl also played every instrument, apart from the guitar on track ten, ‘X-Static,'(see also best songs 292.)
In 1996 Grohl recruited Pat Smear (guitar,) Nate Mendal (bass,) and William Goldsmith (drummer,) to record the follow up Album, ‘The Colour and the Shape,’ from where ‘Monkey Wrench’ was taken. Ghrol has stated that the song is about the break up of his marriage to Jennifer Youngblood, he said ‘It’s about living with someone, and feeling like you’re living in a f..king cell.’
‘One last thing before I quit,I never wanted anymore than I could fit in to my head……’
