{"product_id":"foo-fighters","title":"Foo Fighters","description":"Foo Fighters: Dave Grohl (vocals, guitar); Pat Smear (guitar); Nate Mendel (bass); William Goldsmith (drums).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Greg Dulli (guitar).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Robert Lang's Studio, Seattle, Washington in October 1994.\u003cbr\u003eFOO FIGHTERS was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance.\u003cbr\u003eDave Grohl's opening post-Nirvana salvo, FOO FIGHTERS seems merely ordinary only in the wake of the historic, sweetly abrasive sensations that his previous band was famous for. Full of both lilting summer-breeze melodies and search-and-destroy guitar blasts, it helps present the case that Grohl's punk-pop blueprint just might be as forward-minded as Kurt Cobain's was, if slightly less grungy and a bit more blue-collar.\u003cbr\u003eArriving at its destination by coupling pure '60's guitar-pop with the hyperkinetic pace of hardcore, FOO FIGHTERS takes most of its song-hooks for a joyous high-speed ride. Tracks such as the prankster-ish kiss-off, \"This Is A Call,\" and the meditative-but-bitter \"Good Grief\" are perfect pop nuggets, with turbo-jet guitars propelling them. There are brief respites from such reckless rolling: the glammy verse-chorus-bridge of \"Alone + Easy Target,\" the near-folky \"For All The Cows,\" the sweetly Squeeze-like \"Big Me.\" Yet, these are only refueling stops for Grohl (who recorded most of the album alone) before he turns the engines back on and blows through alterna-pop's speed limits.\u003cbr\u003eNamed after UFO-like apparitions that U.S. fighter pilots claimed to have seen during World War II, FOO FIGHTERS chooses to ignore Grohl's tumultous real-life connections (there are few, if any, kiss-and-tell lyrics) in favor of establishing a separate musical identity. It's as though the songwriter felt there was little of Planet Nirvana worth rehashing, and decided to find a new (if similar) musical satellite to call his own.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46584273600799,"sku":"724383402724","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/d12553f15760f2dc4885ac49e406ddb9_3dd1b623-1288-47cf-b440-22ef44799f03.jpg?v=1779967140","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/foo-fighters","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
