Share the My Hero Chords and Strumming:
Did You Know? My Hero is dedicated to ordinary, everyday heroes because Dave Grohl himself never had musical or sports heroes growing up as a child. It's commonly believed to be about Dave Grohl's former bandmate in Nirvana Kurt Cobain and in a 1997 interview Grohl said - "There's definitely an element of Kurt in that song"
American Songwriter Magazine considers My Hero to be the best Foo Fighters song.
In 2008 Senator Join McCain used the song without permission during campaign rallies. The Foo Fighters responded - "It's frustrating and infuriating that someone who claims to speak for the American people would repeatedly show such little respect for creativity and intellectual property... The saddest thing about this is that 'My Hero' was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential. To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song."
