Foo Fighters<\/a>. He said, \u201cWhen I first met Kurt and Krist\u2026musically, it was a match made in heaven. But personally, it was a bit off, to be honest. Of course, we loved each other. We were friends. But, you know, there was a dysfunction in Nirvana that a band like Foo Fighters doesn\u2019t have.\u201d<\/p>\nMusic became the one form of communication available to them, and, to be clear, that was enough. They didn\u2019t spend their time together at each other\u2019s throats; it seemed more like a brotherly relationship, the kind most dudes in bands have. Very, very rarely, though, they would let that macho posturing slide and be open with each other. The first time that happened came a few months after Grohl joined the band, and it\u2019s clearly a moment that the Foo Fighters frontman looks back on fondly.<\/p>\n
In an interview with GQ, Grohl talked about the first tour that he went on with Nirvana, a jaunt around England and Scotland with L7. He revealed, \u201cI had been in the band for a month. I remember being at some underground disco with the L7 girls, Kurt and Krist, and we were all downstairs drinking and dancing to bad 1980s new wave. Kurt came up and said, \u2018I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re in this band, man. I\u2019m so glad.\u2019 And I was like, [in comic dork voice] \u2018Wow, that was really nice of him! Holy moly!\u2019 It was two and a half years before the next compliment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cobain may have been a difficult person at the best of times, but he really did know what talent he had in Grohl. Moments like that were few and far between, but with the trajectory and tragedy of the Nirvana story, it makes perfect sense that that three-year period would well and truly change Dave Grohl\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
