Grohl had been recording his own music for years, releasing a cassette called "Late!" during his time in Nirvana. The album was recorded by Barrett Jones, in Jones' basement, where Grohl had recorded previous demos.

Foo Fighters reached UK #3 and in America hit #23 though it sold over a million copies there.
