As soon as I got home, I burst through the door, kicked my mum off the computer, and searched for Foo Fighters like it was like an itch that needed to be scratched, over and over and over again. To say it changed my life would be a massive understatement it opened up my ears to music that I instantly felt a connection with. All My Life by Foo Fighters came blasting through the speakers, with that familiar crunching opening. Later that year, I was in a car with my mate and his Dad let him put a CD on in the car. To avoid inevitable bullying, I tried to fit in with the hard nuts, so I listened to the likes of Kanye West, Akon and 50 Cent. I was a rotund-looking young boy with no neck, at one of the roughest schools in the Borough.
When high school came around, it was probably the toughest five years of my life. I even thought I was a garage MC when I was 8 years old. My mum listened to garage, old school disco, and Donny Osmond. Then again, I am biased.Īs a nipper, my first musical memory was my Dad indoctrinating me with the songs of Kiss from an early age. So, don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise, there’s no denying that Foo Fighters are still a force to be reckoned with.
It’s taken long enough, eh? They’re up for the International Group gong and they’ll be playing. This evening, Foo Fighters are set to storm The BRIT Awards for the first time in their career.
