Many of you know, maybe not, Dave Grohl is a big influence and inspiration for me. He is a music hard worked and his music and speeches are always big motivator.

I casually read about a solo demo that he recorded in 1992, it seems that while he was in Nirvana. I decided to check youtube, and surprise, Youtube and internet are AWESOME!! The demo is uploaded and ready to be listened...

It's awesome to see how this can be the prequel of Foo Fighters. There are some songs, riffs, and rhythms that were used in later albums...

If you are a FF fan, you will love this:




I love finding this early demos of my favorite musicians, I remember that I felt the same when I was 16 and found a cassette with Malmsteen first band (when he was 17) called Steeler. It's was awesome to note how he developed his style.


What about you? Have you ever checked your favorite musicians first demos? what did you feel?

Dave Grohl is an amazing musician. I saw the Foo Fighters years ago on my honeymoon opening for RHCP and I really wasn't a huge fan at the time but they were phenomenal live and absolutely put the Chili Peppers to shame. Performance, sound, everything. He sounded the same live as he does on the albums, same goes for the entire band for that matter. I had never seen somebody interact with the crowd like he did that night, he was hilarious.

Since then I hold him in very high regard and have a ton of respect for everything he has accomplished.

Wow! Amazing! A Dave Grohl thread Thank you very much gentlemen! I'm a huge fan myself!

Now about demos - there's a version of Guthrie Govan's 'Waves' he first recorded in 1993 Guess what - it took him 13 years to finish things and release it officially on his first album:
