The Foo Fighters: Essential Interviews

The first in a three-volume set, this book chronicles the ascent of Dave Grohl’s ‘little band that could’. Formed as a one-man project in the wake of Nirvana’s untimely end, the drummer turned frontman released his eponymous debut album in 1995. With a full band made from former Sunny Day Real Estate members and Nirvana sideman Pat Smear, FF's sharp sense of humor made them a welcome breath of fresh air in the rock world. In May 1997, the Foos became rock giants with the release of ‘The Colour and the Shape’. An explosive and memorable time for the group, ESSENTIAL INTERVIEWS 1995–1997, lets Grohl and Co. document their success with a keen balance levity and sincerity.
