This new book charts the maverick career of one of rock's most exciting stars.

Dave Grohl, frontman for the Foo Fighters, will always be remembered as the drummer for Nirvana-a band that occupied the cultural consciousness in a way that few others ever have. This book looks at Grohl's career to date, placing the singer/guitarist/drummer in the context of his contemporaries and those who have influenced him. It covers all the recordings-from the monumental "Nevermind," which rocketed Nirvana to superstardom, to the Foo Fighters' million-selling album "One by One," and its Grammy-winning single, "All My Life." Finally, he looks at the lawsuit initiated by Kurt Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, and Grohl's emergence as the touring drummer for underground hard-rock outfit Queens of the Stone Age.
