Apparently he has cheated on his wife and fathered a baby girl. Not the nicest man in rock after all.Wink

I think LLB is better looking - more of a chin.

Yes, and he doesn’t have Dave’s weird nostrils. 🕳️👃🏻🕳️

As do I.

@TheBers2024 I found it a bit gross at the time, as he was 41 and I was 16. But I did appreciate that he went away and didn't hassle me any further - a lot of guys would have carried on regardless.

  1. No one gets pregnant to create proof of an affair. A child changes your life.
  2. It takes two to tango and condoms are cheap. She couldn't have got pregnant without him allowing it.

Exactly. If he didn't want to get her pregnant he could have just kept his little willy in his pants

Me too. Were you not around in the late 80s early 90s? Nirvana spearheaded a musical revolution. They weren’t the only bands around that when Grunge started but they were the breakthrough band that went mainstream. They influenced not only a generation but the next one following them.

Indeed. My 12 year old DD is a massive Nirvana fan.

Really? He looks like Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen…

LLB at least looks as if he looks after himself. Grohl has been a bloated mess for years!

Pedallleur · 11/09/2024 11:01

he got success in Nirvana but has been in FF a lot longer and it was his songs/talent that put the FF into the big league. Nirvana never achieved Foo fame, Kurt died before they could get there. Springsteen seems to have avoided all this backstage nonesense esp after his divorce (short marriage)

Are you crazy? Nirvana were MUCH bigger than the Foos and still are. Nirvana were huge when Nevermind was released and it changed everything. They are still outselling the Foos and their back catalogue isn’t as big. Grohl joined Nirvana during the recording of Nevermind so he was basically the hired drummer (and Kurt viewed him as such too). If Kurt hadn’t offed himself I’m sure anything he released would outsell anything Dave releases (pretty sure Nirvana would have split after the European tour). The Foos are a mediocre rock band who got lucky because of Grohl’s Nirvana association.

That’s my rant over. Except Live Through This (Hole) is better than anything Nirvana or the Foos have ever released.

Total mess for the children involved above all else, the youngest is only 10 years old. Imagine suddenly having a half sibling through your dad’s extramarital affair and having to process that at such a young age. It’s hard enough for most kids just getting a new sibling but this is completely fucked up. Obviously feel hugely for his wife too.

What a wank stain you are, Dave.

Also, the youngest daughter is no longer the baby of the family

Honestly it is stories such as this that put one off marriage

He cheated on his first wife so not that surprising he has done it again to his second wife.

Oh Gawd did not know that... Silly fool!

I get what you mean but ultimately they haven't, I'm not a Foo Fighters fan, massive Nirvana fan but like realistically Nirvana wouldn't be doing the stadiums or headlining the festivals because Kurt was too erractic/unreliable, unlike the FF!

That said I have seen under 10s wearing "Nirvana" T-shirts from Penneys (which I love, I got a lovely Ramones T-shirt last year) & not once have I seen a FF T-shirt for kids so commercially yeah maybe?

I like "Times Like These"

the only problem is, by a few accounts, Kurt was about to start working with Michael Stipe after Nirvana broke up, that would have been a massive departure so who knows?

You're right about everything else though in fairness

Edited for Stipe

The Cobain/Stipe collaboration was something Michael cooked up to try and get Kurt out of his addiction/depression. He asked him to fly to Georgia to start working on a new project. He sent him plane tickets, even sent him a taxi to take him to the airport but Kurt didn’t turn up. Stipe has talked about it a few times.

BusterGonad · 11/09/2024 15:09

How insulting to compare LLB to DG. LLB is far more attractive I every way.

I know Courtney used to stalk MS in Seattle, not sure if he was ever involved with Heroin but she made it sound like that

I'm bowing to your superior knowledge though, she's an unrelable witness, thanks for sharing that

Apparently he's never been faithful has been cheating on his wife for years with various ONS's and girlfriends he did the same to girlfriends before he married his current wife and did the same to his first wife. Just ask Louise Post. The man's an ass but happens to have a good PR team and had a bunch of good will from the public after the suicide of Kurt Cobain, the Foo Fighters are overrated anyway. Hopefully his wife takes him to the cleaners over this.

lol, tell me you know nothing about music without telling me you know nothing about music.

OhmygodDont · 11/09/2024 16:23

what always surprises me is why this famous rich men who shag around haven’t had bloody vasectomies plus condoms for stds.

No only are they arseholes they are completely fucking stupid.

balmla · 11/09/2024 16:35

@OhmygodDont I don't think their male ego's could cope with anything that might impact their virility which might be especially true for a old rocker on the verge of ageing out in more ways than one.

🤦‍♀️ were you actually around in the 90s, did you live through the Grunge era? How you can say a band that changed the music scene and influenced fashion is less successful than a mediocre band amazes me. Nirvana influenced so many people, so many other bands, and still do. I doubt the outpouring of grief would have been anywhere near the same had Dave Grohl committed suicide. Kurt and Krist were the talent, Dave only came along because they needed a drummer.

The Foo Fighters, rode on the success of Nirvana, and the aftermath of Kurt's suicide. They would not have been anywhere near as successful as they are if Dave Grohl hadn't been in Nirvana.

Yeah probably the types to believe it will
