457 - Foo Fighters The Pretender 2007

While he was drumming with Nirvana, Dave Grohl was recording original songs at home that never received public release. Those tapes would become the foundation of Foo Fighters, the band he formed in 1995, after the death of Kurt Cobain. Like Nirvana, Foo Fighters melded loud, heavy guitars with pretty melodies and mixed punk sensibilities with a sharp sense of pop songwriting. "The Pretender" is the first single released from the Foo Fighters' 2007 album "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace".
