At its release in 1997 Dave Grohl was best known for his drumming as part of the trio that made up influential rock band Nirvana. Today a lot of young rock fan have no idea that Dave Grohl was even in Nirvana, Grohl was able to finally distance himself from Kurt Cobain's shadow with a sophomore album that introduced the Foo Fighters to the mainstream. With its infectious mix of hard rock, punk, and grunge The Colour and the Shape instantly meshed well with all fans of rock. It didn't hurt that the CD gave birth to singles such as "My Hero," "Monkey Wrench," and "Everlong" Since this albums release the Foo Fighters have gone on to become a household name, producing single after single, selling out arenas, and winning Grammys, but their ride to become one of the biggest bands in the world started with this Gil Norton (The Pixies) produced record. I have seen the Foo Fighters in concert before and I get to see them again next week and I can see its a treat to watch Dave Grohl in action. He has become a rock god.
