David Eric Grohl (born January 14, 1969) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, multi-instrumentalist, and film director. He is the founder, frontman, lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter of the rock band Foo Fighters since 1994, and was the longest-serving drummer for Nirvana from 1990 to 1994. Foo Fighters have found worldwide success and won multiple awards, most notably with four of their albums winning Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album. The members of Foo Fighters meld melodic elements with heavier ones. Grohl noted in 1997, "We all love music, whether it's the Beatles or Queen or punk rock. I think the lure of punk rock was the energy and immediacy; the need to thrash stuff around. But at the same time, we're all suckers for a beautiful melody, you know? So it is just natural." Grohl said in 2005, "I love being in a rock band, but I don't know if I necessarily wanna be in an alternative rock band from the 1990s for the rest of my life." Grohl noted that the band's acoustic tour was an attempt to broaden the group's sound.With Nirvana, Grohl established himself as a highly appreciated drummer and in 2014 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility alongside Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic.Grohl is also the drummer and co-founder of the rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, and wrote the music and performed all the instruments for his short-lived side projects Late! and Probot. He has also recorded and frequently toured with rock band Queens of the Stone Age.
