SEATTLE, Whas. (Nirvana Fans Website) - Despite the years of legal wrangling, a war of words with Courtney Love, and a very busy music life, Dave Grohl says all of his Nirvana-related stress of late was well worth it.
"To me, it's important that people hear the music. A song like 'You Know You're Right,' or some of the songs that will be on the box set, I think people should hear them, because it gives some kind of perspective," Grohl said.
"One of the exciting things about the box set when it finally comes out will be giving people insight on the growth of the band," he continues. "So, as much trouble and as many hurdles and obstacles as we had to go through to get this stuff out, I think it's worth it. Just because there's people out there who really regard Nirvana as something important. And I'd hate to deny anyone of that."
The Foo Fighters are currently on the road in support of One by One, released last week on RCA and featuring the modern rock hit, "All My Life."
The band has a few more shows in the U.S. before heading to the U.K. (with Cave In opening), Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Queens of the Stone Age, the Deftones, and Wilco are on all of the Australia and New Zealand dates. The Foo Fighters will also perform on The Late Show with David Letterman on Halloween night.
