The Foos frontman has revealed how early negativity from fans of the Kurt Cobain-fronted band motivated him to make Foo Fighters a success.

Dave Grohl was inspired to make Foo Fighters a success by the hate he got from Nirvana fans.

The 51-year-old rocker has recalled some of the negative feedback he had when forming the band after the dissolution of the iconic grunge band, caused by Kurt Cobain's death in 1994.

Speaking in the latest issue of Mojo magazine, he revealed some of the things fans would say, recalling: "They were like, 'How dare you be in a band again? Your music is f***ing s**t and that was a real band and you're not.'

"It's like, 'You really think that's gonna stop me? It only makes me wanna f***ing do it more, y'know. So, you can keep it coming if you want but I don't give a f**k."
