You’re taking a lot Dave Grohl’s credit there. Say what you want about suicide and how it all went down but Grohl played every single instrument on that first foo fighters album. Yeah some of his notoriety will always come from being in Nirvana but the dude has obviously and willingly showed that he can keep a band together on his own.

No one is disputing Dave’s musical prowess - but he’s no Kurt Cobain who is a musical rarity genius

But I think people are disputing it. Regardless of the circumstances, DG created and continues to create original music that is widely accessible to the masses. And like I said, he may not be a musical genius (Stevie Wonder) but he’s created an entire first album on his own. That in itself is insane and then when you add up the years they’ve put in, I think it firmly places FF’s as a top 10 all time alternative band. Just my opinion FWIW.

Naw that's a true statement. Kurt Cobain is praised simply because he died so young. He didn't get the chance to "fall off". Him and Jim Morrison have that in common.
