How could they? Grohl’s out there providing the backbone to some of America’s most beloved rock anthems for tens of thousands of fans, leaving his stamp on established classics he himself grew up loving, songs like “American Girl” and “Breakdown.” But none of Grohl’s individual contributions to rock ‘n’ roll reach anywhere near the stratospheric recognition of his main gig. He still becomes one of the most sought-after helping hands in rock music - a critical session darling for his drum work with Queens Of The Stone Age, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Iggy Pop, Lemmy, and many more, and his various side projects, such as Them Crooked Vulture and Probot, go on to be just as casually celebrated. Instead, he takes up that offer to be Tom Petty’s full-time drummer and follows his idol on a short cut to immediate stadium status rather than build his own new band from scratch. There’s a parallel universe out there where Dave Grohl doesn’t start the Foo Fighters in the wreckage of Nirvana’s unexpected and tragic conclusion.
