Foo Fighters
In Your Honor
RCA Records
"In Your Honor," the fifth album from 1990s alt-rock veterans the Foo Fighters, began as a solo vehicle for singer-guitarist Dave Grohl. The Springfield native and Nirvana survivor planned on making it a mellow departure from the Foos' usual grungy fury.
That was stage one.
Stage two came when Mr. Grohl realized the material he was writing sounded, unavoidably, like Foo Fighters' music. So Mr. Grohl's band mates - bassist Nate Mendel, drummer Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Chris Shiflett - came on board.
