Interview: Dave Grohl Of Foo Fighters

In 1995, Grohl released " Foo Fighters," an album recorded in six days and on which he sang and played all of the instruments. After completing the project, he formed a band and headed out on tour. Despite several personnel changes, the group has gone on to release two more platinum-selling albums: 1997's "The Colour & the Shape" and last year's "There Is Nothing Left to Lose." The current lineup--comprised of Grohl, drummer Taylor Hawkins, bassist Nate Mendel and rhythm guitarist Chris Shifflet--is now on tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
