Foo Fighters

This Alternative-Rock quartet was formed at the end of 1994 in Seattle, Washington USA, after the death of Kurt Cobain; Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl switched to vocals+guitar and after early rumors that Krist Novoselic would also be a member of the group, ultimately proved to be false, Grohl recruited guitarist Pat Smear and enlisted Sunny Day Real Estate's rhythm section: bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith to fill out the line-up.

Their debut single, "This Is A Call", was issued in June of 1995, it peaked at #2 on Modern Rock Tracks chart and a few weeks later was followed by the band's self-titled debut album, the record reached the #23 in the U.S. Top 200 Albums chart and by the time went platinum; the next two singles, "I'll Stick Around" and "Big Me", climbed to the #8 and #3 spots respectively on the Billboard's Modern Rock chart.
Goldsmith left the band during the recording of the Foo's second album and was replaced by Taylor Hawkins; "The Colour And The Shape", which arrived in May of 1997, debuted at #10 on The Billboard Top 200 Albums list and spawned four smash singles, the Mainstream and Modern Rock top 10 hits "Monkey Wrench", "Everlong" and "My Hero" plus "Walking After You" which reached the #12 on Modern Rock chart.
Following the album's release, Smear quit and was later replaced for a brief period by Franz Stahl, Chris Shiflett was finally chosen as the permanent guitarist.
1999's "There Is Nothing Left To Lose" peaked at #10 in the U.S. Top Albums chart and won a Grammy for Best Rock Album; the first single "Learn To Fly" hit #1 and #2 spots respectively on Modern and Mainstream Rock charts and became their first Billboard's Hot 100 entry at #13; followed the Active Rock top 10 hit "Stacked Actors", the Modern Rock top 10 hit "Breakout" and the final single, "Next Year", made top 20 in the same chart.
In October of 2002, Foo Fighters, returned with their fourth album, "One By One", it reached the #3 on the North-American charts and included the explosive #1 Billboard Modern Rock single "All My Life" which was honored in the Best Hard Rock Performance category at 45th Annual Grammy Awards, three more singles from the record cracked the top 20 of the Modern Rock chart including the #5 "Times Like These", "Darling Nikki" and "Low".
In late 2003 Dave Grohl started a side-project named Probot, a collection of Heavy-Metal superstars performance.
Foo Fighters returned in June 2005 with the double-album, "In Your Honor", guests include Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones and the the two-CD set went to #2 on The Billboard 200 list in no time while the first single, "Best Of You", shot to #1 on both Modern and Mainstream Rock charts and also reached #18 on The Billboard Hot 100; the second single, "DOA", peaked at #1 on The Modern Rock chart and "No Way Back" became the album's third Modern Rock top 3 hit falling just one position short of #1.

They performed several acoustic concerts on "In Your Honor" supporting tour; one of these, a stop at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles, is documented on the 2006 live album "Skin And Bones", which culls 15 highlights from the show including the new track "Skin And Bones".
