Episode 44: The Foo Fighters

The Rock and Metal Profs: The History and Philosophy of Rock and Metal

On this episode of RAMP, Court and Matt throw a "Monkey Wrench" into the gears and take a close look at the Foo Fighters. After the passing of Kurt Cobain in 1994, the popularity of Nirvana was stratospheric. At the same time, the surviving members had no idea what the future would bring. Not one to wait for an opportunity to present itself, Dave Grohl hit the studio and produced a set of songs in which he played all the instruments. Little did he know that his collection of tunes would become the Foo Fighters and launch him to unimaginable heights as a multi-instrumentalist, music video sensation, artist and spokesperson for all things rock and roll. We thank our good friend and long-time listener Greg Hill of San Diego for requesting that we feature the Foo nearly a year ago -- it is long overdue. Thank you brother!
