Released by Independent Music Press, this is the first and only book on the Foo Fighters and the legendary Dave Grohl

The first biography of one of modern rock’s most influential figures. Emerging from the morass of suicide and potent musical legacy that was Nirvana, the Foo Fighters established themselves - against all odds - as one of the most popular rock bands in the world.

Deflecting early critical disdain, Dave Grohl has single-handedly reinvented himself and cemented his place in the rock pantheon. This is his story, from his pre-Nirvana days in hardcore band Scream to his current festival-conquering status as a Grammy-winning, platinum-selling grunge legend reborn.

Across the five Foo Fighters albums, the whole sordid yet legendary Nirvana tale, the pre-history in the nascent Seattle scene and right up to date via Grohl’s flirtations with bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, this is an utterly comprehensive and insightful chronicle of Dave Grohl’s remarkable life.

Foo Fighters are one of the biggest acts on the planet. In August of 2003 they will play to 80,000 fans at Slane Castle and are regualr festival headliners across the globe. In addition, MTV recently ran a Foo Fighters weekend and the band are favourites across the music media, capturing markets such as rock (NME, Q, Mojo), metal (Kerrang, Metal Hammer) and pop (Smash Hits, TOTP magazine). This book will appeal to both the serious music-lover as well as the new generation of younger teen fans.
