In reply to the discussion: What are your 10 favorite bands? [View all]LeftOfSelf-Centered
(776 posts)65. Well, if Dave Grohl had had any input
then Nirvana would have made some decent music...
I keed, I keed, but I still don't get Nirvana...
I heard in some documentary that at some point agreements in Nirvana were changed so that Kurt got something like 90% of the royalties, while the other two split the rest (which apparently was still a ton of money). So I doubt the others would have agreed if they were doing a significant part of the songwriting.
As far as I know Dave recorded the first Foo Fighters album by himself. If you play guitar you can also play bass, which together with drums is all you need for a basic rock band.
If I got Dave Grohl in MY band I'm damn sure letting that dude run free.
When it comes to my bands I'm a type A control freak (strangely I'm not in any other aspects...), so if I had him in my band there'd probably be some spectacular arguments!

I had a tough time putting Nirvana in the top 25 even though I love their music

Their blues covers: esp. "You Shook Me", "Dazed and Confused", "When the Levee Breaks".

Looks like The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are topping that list so far
