GROHL REJECTS NIRVANA 'SIDEMAN' TITLE

Former NIRVANA star DAVE GROHL insists he was more than former bandmate KURT COBAIN's 'sideman', maintaining his role was fundamental to the band's success.

The Foo Fighters frontman, 38, insists he and bassist Krist Novoselic played crucial roles in creating the 90s band's distinct sound and is tired of being overshadowed by late singer Cobain.

He says, "I was actually Nirvana's fifth drummer and if you listen to the recordings with the previous guys you will notice it sounds different.

"Krist and I have been called sidemen to Kurt for f**king years - that lawsuit is done with, y'know?

"We've been called hired guns and I just laugh. Anyone who has ever been in a band, hell... anyone who has ever even listened to a band, understands what happens when one of those elements is removed from the combination. It just falls apart."
