Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl has revealed his abiding memories of Nirvana.
Speaking to American ’Esquire’ magazine, Grohl said he was not looking back.
He said: “When I think of Nirvana, I think of Krist, Kurt and me. I think about us driving through Canadian snowstorms in a van leaking fuel. We reek like guys working in a gas station. I think about us selling equipment for food. I don't think about Number One records."
He added: "I think of it like any other band I've been in, although that was the one that touched the most people. But I don't wear it like a badge. For starters, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. And beyond that, it starts sitting like a chip on your shoulder. I was in a huge band at one point of my life and I can't believe that happened to me, but I'm not looking back."
