      Dave Grohl ist für Viele der beste Schlagzeuger, Gitarrist und Sänger auf dem Planeten. Ein musikalisches Schwergewicht, das mit Nirvana Musikgeschichte geschrieben hat und mit seiner aktuellen Band Foo Fighters riesige Stadien rockt. Ganz nebenbei sammelt er auch noch mit Gold und Platin veredelte Alben – und ist dabei trotzdem ein sympathischer Kumpeltyp geblieben. Journalist und Autor Jeff Apter, unter anderem langjähriger Redakteur beim Rolling Stone, wirft einen Blick auf die frühen Jahre von Dave Grohl bis 2005 und lässt auch etliche seiner Weggefährten zu Wort kommen. Von den ersten wackeligen Schritten in der Hardcore-Szene über das Engagement bei seinen Helden Scream im Teenageralter bis hin zur schwindelerregend turbulenten Zeit bei den Grunge-Ikonen Nirvana zeichnet Apter den Weg des Musikers nach, der Mitte der 90er Jahre mit den Foo Fighters eine der wichtigsten Rockbands seiner Generation ins Leben rief.
