I heard the whole first FF album was all him. He recorded guitar, bass, drums and vocals then found band mates. I heard that years ago, dont know if its true or not.

That's it, and it is true.

It's been said Prince can play nearly every instrument on any of his album's in fact he was asked to play each in the studio to prove to the record execs that he could do it.

Thanks for putting those up check, that's awesome. I have a lot of respect for Grohl in terms of how he stacks up against other artists within the pop/rock genre. Singing/songwriting I like him a lot...it's his drumming that gets me. It's good, don't get me wrong, but I hate hearing people talk about what a great drummer he is. He's loud, and good for that kind of music, but his drumming is way overrated.

Regardless, thanks for the thread and mp3's check :)

Hey, is times like these in 7/8 time?
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
