Nirvana disbanded after the death of Kurt Cobain in April 1994. Grohl received offers to work with various artists. Press rumors indicated he might join Pearl Jam , and he almost accepted a position as drummer in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers . Grohl later said: “I was supposed to just join another band and be a drummer the rest of my life. I thought that I would rather do what no one expected me to do.” He instead entered Robert Lang Studios in October 1994 to record 15 of his own songs. With the exception of a guitar part on “X-Static”, played by Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs , Grohl played every instrument and sang every vocal. He completed an album’s worth of material in five days and handed out cassette copies of the sessions to his friends for feedback.
