Foo Fighters? More like Eww Fighters, amiright? lol
Ok just pretend for a second it's not Courtney Love making the accusation.
Courtney Love has accused Dave Grohl of attempting to seduce her 19-year-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, Gawker reports. The Hole singer made the accusations on her private Twitter account last night, claiming that her estranged daughter's roommate informed her that the Foo Fighters frontman "hit on Frances." Grohl is, of course, the former bandmate of Frances' father, Kurt Cobain, and has known her since she was an infant.
In a series of subsequent tweets, Love threatened Grohl and speculated on his "pathology," noting that Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins resembles Cobain and is in the "submissive drummer position" in the band, and that he named his daughter Violet, which happens to be the name of one of Love's biggest hits. She later declared that Grohl is "sexually obsessed" with Kurt, relaying information from a driver who claimed that Grohl had "his hands all over" Frances in his car.
This is hardly the first time Love has attacked Grohl in public. Back in November, the singer launched into a tirade against him at a festival in Brazil prompted by her outrage at a fan carrying a poster of Cobain in the audience.
Love's private Twitter account, @cbabymichelle, is locked from the public, but Gawker has posted a screen capture collecting all of her tweets from last night.

And drug addict. Don't forget 'drug addict'.
Rockers trying to get with 19 year old women?! OMG, how....typical.
*Sticks fingers in ears so as to not hear anything bad about Courtney Love* LALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU.
Dyl, a "foo fighter" is a WWII-era term for a UFO, I think.
It's kind of impressive that Dave Grohl recorded the entire first Foo Fighters album on his own, much like Trent Reznor does. It's much less impressive that he actually got a band together after that and that band kind of sucks. He really IS obsessed with Kurt Cobain, though.

It's not so much that, but that he's known Frances since she was a baby.
And, thanks merymac. I knew you'd come through with the facts! lol
btch be crazy.
flove the foo.
that is all. but really, btch be crazy.
Ah. I guess I just read "known" as in vaguely saw every now and again. Which is kinda gross, but still, nothing to be shocked or upset by in the crazy celebrity, drug-fueled world they live in.
Ya well, it's the Foo Fighters. Since they have fans despite their music, I'll resort to any means necessary to deter people from their existence.
Dave Grohl is made of awesome.
Courtney Love is crazytown.
it's kind of frightening how similar our brains are.
Are we taking Courtney Love seriously now?
Agreed that Ms. Love is probably not a reliable source.
I adore Dave Grohl, so I hope that this is not true because it is pretty icky.
Mery, what do you mean by he *is obsessed with Kurt*?
The fact that Frances Bean is 19 makes me feel about 7000 years old.
And wowie zowie is she beautiful.
::high five::
i'll look for a source but according to DH, she's accused DG and KN of charging hot-azz cars to the Nirvana corporation.
Except that Dave Grohl is outspoken against the drug-fueled crazy.
Given the option to believe him or Ms Crazy Love, I'm sticking with Dave.
When he released the first FF album and people said, "Oh, hey, you can play guitar and write songs? Where did that come from?" His response was something along the lines of how he was SO IN AWE of Kurt that he just sat out of the way and drummed his little heart out, because trying to contribute his own songs to the band would have interfered with Kurt's genius or something.
And the song "My Hero" is about Kurt.
ETA: I doesn't help that I think Nirvana is somewhat mediocre. Not the best band of the 90s, by far.

?
until Wasting Light, none of the FF songs were about KC. the only one that's been written about Cobain is "I should have known" which is hardly an idolization.
and really, if one of my friends ate a gun and i had to be reminded about it every day i'd be hung up on it too.
FTR: i'm no Dave apologist. that whole recording thing with The Color and the Shape bumped him up to a level of douchebaggery that's rarely seen these days. seriously bad taste in my mouth over that.
Click me, click me!
What? I am not sure what you mean...can you elaborate...what was d-baggy?
basically after the album was recorded he went back into the studio with everyone but the drummer and rerecorded everything and did the drums himself. without telling the drummer. at all. not surprisingly the drummer quit and was replaced with Taylor.
if you can get your hands on the 2011 documentary Back and Forth, it covers the whole issue pretty well. everyone agrees dave was a douche about the whole thing. i don't think he's a total azzhole but as i said to DH one day, i'd never want to work with the guy. i get the flaming control-freak vibe off of him.
the documentary is awesome. totally worth it.
