Rachmaninov sang and Tchikovsky conducted. Much credit needs to be given to Dave Grohl. With the weight of being the drummer for the most influential band of this decade on his shoulders, Grohl left his Nirvana past and forged ahead with The Foo Fighters. While There Is Nothing Left To Lose is definitely the Foo Fighters' best album to date, one has to wonder whether Kurt Cobain's ghost is inhabiting Grohl's body. Usually, success does not come quickly in the music industry.
Most bands struggle underground for years before they finally get their big break.
REM, Less Than Jake, Nirvana and Face to Face are perfect examples. Only three years ago, a band playing in a tiny Minneapolis bar started to attract crowds that filled every inch of the bar. Live recordings of its zany performances began to circulate, and the word spread. Think of the most influential artist of modern rock 'n' roll still actively producing music.
