They Are the 10 Famous Artists Who Got Rejected By Record Labels

N9. Dave Grohl

One of the greatest living rock stars in Dave Grohl. We have to disregard Kanye West’s opinion about Grohl and say that he is one of the best drummers around.

The only thing ‘bad’ about Dave is that any project he is associated with usually tends to be utterly terrific.

One project we can never assess properly is Grohl’s first band, Mission Impossible. At age 14, Grohl started the Mission Impossible band. He sent the group’s demo tape to Ian MacKaye, the founder of Dischord Records, asking him if he was interested in putting out young Dave’s new single.

MacKaye was impressed by the whippersnappers initiative, though not the tune; he may have turned Grohl down, but he held on to the enquiry letter. Clearly, the Fugazi frontman must have seen the potential of one of today’s most famous rockers.

NEXT: #8. Oasis
