During these sessions Grohl recorded 15 tracks which he wrote. He also played all the instruments and sang. As the tracks gained positive responses, circulating in the industry, Grohl put together a band to support the album: Nate Mendel on bass.
William Goldsmith on drums and guitarist Pat Smear — who had toured with Nirvana — joined Grohl on guitar. Bradley Cook, the engineer for the record, has explained that Grohl told him that the song was about Cobain. However, this attribution has often polarized fans. Grohl has often denied or re-directed this interpretation in interviews. Like many artists, he encourages listeners to find a larger — less autobiographical — meaning in the song. He explained in But the real heroes in my life were people that I was close to.
Pete Stahl who was the singer of Scream was one. I was 17 years old when we hit the road and that guy showed me the ropes, so to me he was a hero. She raised two kids with no money and we managed to be a happy family, so she seems like a hero to me.
After Kurt died, the whole idea of hero worship or idolatry warped into something I thought was strange. You take a human being and you turn them into a deity. I remember I was driving around Ireland when I was trying to get away from that whole fiasco after Kurt died. I was in the middle of nowhere and it was beautiful. But then I was driving down a country road and I saw a hitch hiker with a Kurt Cobain t-shirt on so my perception of a hero kind of changed.
Just a regular person. Just an ordinary guy that works his ass off. Who is your hero? Some guy that can slam dunk or make a million dollars? Some hollywood actor? Cried when I heard this in concert. My dad has cancer, still works his ass off, I remember watching him go out the door to work at like 6 am. There goes my hero, damn it.
Many of the best songs have a life far beyond their initial inspiration. I just naturally interpret the meaning subjectively and personally.
I have many heroes. I couldn't have said it as well. It's great to hear a son who loves his father say so.

General Comment 'My Hero' was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential. It is NOT about Kobain, although i'm sure other songs are. Artists - F. My Hero is found on the album Everywhere But Home. Rate These Lyrics. When the shock jock asked if it's because heroes disappoint you, he clarified: "Not at all. I look up to regular people, more than I up to Dave Grohl has never really official attributed My Hero to one person, instead suggesting it was more about the "common man".
In , the band released a statement when Republican candidate John McCain used the track without their permission. To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song.
Last year, the meaning of My Hero was solidified further when it was used to celebrate healthcare workers and essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic. I hope everyone is staying healthy.
