Dave Grohl Research Paper

Dave Eric Grohl started life on January 14th, 1969 in Warren, Ohio. His mother was a teacher by the name of Virginia Jean, and his father was James Harper Grohl, who was a news writer at the time of Dave’s birth. By the time Dave was 12 he had already began learning guitar. He started off taking lessons then decided to teach himself which resulted in him becoming good enough to start playing in bands with friends. He moved to Springfield, Virginia with his mother after his parents split or divorced. From there he continued practicing until he made a trip to Evanston, Illinois where he was introduced to punk rock. His First concert was Naked Raygun at the Cubby Bear in Chicago in 1982 at the age of 13. After that concert he decided he was devoted
After playing with the band for a few years he decided to leave them and shortly after he did he had an opportunity to audition for another band called “Nirvana” in Seattle. He was hired to play the drums which he did until the band fell apart after the lead singer “Kurt Cobbain” committed suicide at his home in Seattle, Washington. Though he had great success with the band “Nirvana” he found even greater success when he started another band or “Foo Fighters”. Foo Fighters had several hits over the years and much success. One of my favorite songs or the earliest song I recall hearing by them was “Everlong” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBG7P-K-r1Y) . The music video “Everlong” was nominated for best Rock Video at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. The first time I heard the song was with a childhood friend or “Chris” who played the song on his mother’s stereo while I was visiting his younger brother and it just clicked. We shared a similar sense of music or style of music so this as well as many other songs favored were similar in nature. I’m planning on going to a Foo Fighters concert next time they are perform locally, I think they will continue to play and release albums just like the Rolling Stones and
