I recently came across this photo of Nirvana with Frances Bean Cobain sitting on Kurt’s lap in front of a fireplace. I knew this fireplace looked familiar and then I finally placed it. It is in the guest house at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, Minneapolis where Nirvana recorded “In Utero” in February of 1993.
Chevy Metal is a “Dirt Rock” cover band that consists of Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins (drums) and Chris Shiflett (guitar) along with Wiley Hodgden (bass). On April 14, 2012, Chevy Metal played a private fund raising gig at Dave Grohl’s daughters school, where Chevy Metal was joined on stage by Grohl and Joan Jett for a cover of “I Love Rock N’ Roll”.
Here’s a photo of Dave Grohl and his wife Jordyn Blum whome he married in 2003. Blum must have read “The Secret” and used the law of attraction because nine years earlier as a 17-year-old model she appeared on the cover of Teen Magazine’s June 1994 issue.
Dave Grohl like many other rock stars attended the Soundgarden concert on July 22, 2011 at the Los Angeles Forum in Inglewood. What makes Dave Grohl “Dave Grohl” is that fact that he watched the show from the pit with all the fans.
When Nirvana released the deluxe version of “Nevermind” in 2011, it included a disc called “The Devonshire Mixes”. These were rough mixes made in May of 1991, that producer Butch Vig put together during production of the album for the band to hear. They were called “The Devonshire Mixes” because they were mixed at Devonshire Sound Studios in North Hollywood, California
Dave Grohl made a super quick 3 second cameo appearance on a Season 3 X-Files episode that aired on February 23, 1996. His cameo is about twenty minutes into episode #17called “Pusher”. Grohl is shown walking through the lobby of the United States Bureau of Investigation with his now ex-wife Jennifer Youngblood. Get it??? X-Wife – X-Files.
Flea performed “Smells Like Teen Spirit” live with Nirvana on January 23, 1993 at the Hollywood Rock Festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The chance performance took place because the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana were on the same bill for the Hollywood Rock Festival. Instead of playing the bass, Flea played the Trumpet.
Foo Fighters love Rush!!! Here’s a photo of Taylor Hawkins holding up the Rush logo for a picture. When the Foo Fighters played the Air Canado Centre in Toronto in 2009 at the end of Hawkins’ drum solo Dave Grohl announced that he wanted to introduce a couple of his friends.
The Foo Fighters video for the song “Walk” is a humorous take on the super intense Michael Douglas film Falling Down (1993). In the video while sitting in traffic, Grohl sees several bumper stickers that do their part in setting him off.
I never knew such a photo existed but here is Dave Grohl with ex-wife Jennifer Youngblood and Krist Nocoselic with ex-wife Shelli Dilley at the funeral service for Kurt Cobain. The memorial service was held below at Unity Church of Truth in Seattle Washington on April 10, 1994.
