Dave Grohl discussed Nirvana and Kurt Cobain’s death in a new Evening Standard interview.
Grohl told Evening Standard that he was only mostly asked about Nirvana in Foo Fighters interviews “for the first 20 years”.
Today, surely most people see that this tireless showman, fond of comedy disguises in his videos, is a better fit in the band he has led since 1995. On the 2011 song Walk, a Foo Fighters setlist staple, he can be heard screaming “I never wanna die!” over and over.
“Those revolutions don’t last very long so they shine pretty bright. It would be enough to fill your pride for the rest of your life, but having it taken away in the way that it was, it makes you feel incomplete,” he says. “One of the reasons why Foo Fighters became a band was because, at the ripe old age of 25, I wasn’t finished playing music.”
And he still isn’t. Split rumours, thunderstorms and broken bones can’t slow down one of the all-time greats.
