Foo Fighters - Biografija



Foo Fighters je američki sastav čije se pjesme ubrajaju u žanr alternativnog rocka. Osnovao ga je 1995. godine Dave Grohl, vokal i gitarista, nakon raspada svoje prijašnje grupe, planetarno popularne Nirvane u kojoj je svirao bubnjeve. Sastavu su se pridružili Nate Mendel (bas), William Goldsmith (bubnjevi) i Pat Smear (. Svoj prvi album Foo Fighters objavili su 1995. godine, no već nakon objave drugog albuma The Colour and the Shape (1997.) Goldsmith i Smear napustili su grupu. Njih su zamijenili Taylor Hawkins i Franz Stahl. Grupa je 1999. godine objavila i svoj treći album There Is Nothing Left to Lose.Stahl je, kao i njegov gitaristički prethodnik Smear, napustio Foo Fighterse i sastav je dobio novog gitaristu Chrisa Shifletta. 2002. godine Foo Fightersi su objavili svoj četvrti album One By One. 2005. uslijedio je album In Your Honor koji se sastojao od dva diska od kojih jedan sadrži akustične, a drugi hard-rock pjesme. Svoj šesti po redu album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace izdali su 2007. godine. Wasting Light, trenutno poslednji studijski album izdali su 2011. godine. U svojoj su karijeri osvojili tri Grammyja za najbolji rock album, a svih šest albuma im je bilo nominirano za Grammy.
