Rarely in the history of rock has a musician switched bands and instruments simultaneously with such a high degree of success as Dave Grohl.
Born on January 14, 1969, Grohl grew up in Washington, D.C., teaching himself to play drums and guitar while listening to such heavy metal acts as Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Motörhead, and Black Sabbath, plus the punk outfits Black Flag, the Germs, Bad Brains, and the Stooges. While still a teenager, he joined his first real band, independent D.C. punkers Scream, and toured the world as their drummer. After Scream broke up in the late '80s, Grohl relocated to Seattle and tried out for a little-known band that had a drum vacancy, Nirvana.
Immediately after Grohl joined the group in late 1990, Nirvana guitarist/singer/songwriter Kurt Cobain presented the band with the songs that would appear on the group's major-label debut, the 1991 classic Nevermind. Grohl also found time to write and record several demos around this time (playing all the instruments and singing himself), titled Pocketwatch, but more on that later. As everyone knows, Nevermi

Dave Grohl and the Heartbeat of Grunge
The trajectory of Nirvana, a band that redefined rock in the early 1990s, was forever changed with the arrival of Dave Grohl. Yet, the story of how Dave Grohl joined Nirvana is as much about timing and talent as it is about the painful decision to let go of their previous drummer, Chad Channing. Recently, an author close to the band’s history shed light on the dynamics that led to this pivotal change, revealing the reasons behind Channing’s departure and the serendipitous arrival of Grohl.
Chad Channing had been with Nirvana during the band’s formative years, contributing drums to several early tracks, including much of their debut album, Bleach. While his playing added a distinct rawness, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic felt something was missing. According to the author, Cobain’s dissatisfaction wasn’t personal but rooted in his vision for Nirvana’s sound. Channing’s drumming, while solid, lacked the power and precision Cobain sought to elevate their music.
