Guitar One Presents Foo Fighters is available now at the Guitar World Online Store for $9.99.
In 1995, former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl picked up a guitar and buried the past with Foo Fighters and their self-titled debut album. Since then, the Foo Fighters have carved their names in rock and roll history as one of the most successful alternative-rock bands, touting three Grammy wins for Best Rock Album. In 2011, they returned to the studio to make Wasting Light, their seventh album. Guitar One Presents Foo Fighters covers 15 years of interviews and tells the story behind every record. Buy it today for only $9.99!
This issue includes:
• Dear Guitar Hero: Dave Grohl and Chris Shiflett answer readers' questions.
• Absolutely Foobulous: Dave Grohl and Pat Smear talk rock fashion, reminisce about Nirvana and praise the Foo Fighters' 1997 group effort, The Colour and the Shape.
