Slabbed Band-Signed Promotional Photograph: Hand-Signed by Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, & Franz Stahl)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of alternative rock history, post-grunge heritage, and modern record industry memorabilia: an original 1997 official Capitol Records promotional band photograph hand-signed by members of the Foo Fighters, including Dave Grohl, late drummer Taylor Hawkins, bassist Nate Mendel, and guitarist Franz Stahl.
Formed in 1994 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters evolved from a solo bedroom project into one of the most successful and enduring stadium rock bands in history. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, the band has earned 15 Grammy Awards. This vintage promotional photo captures a rare, transitional era following the release of their seminal 1997 album The Colour and the Shape—marking the early lineup addition of legendary late drummer Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Franz Stahl alongside Grohl and founding bassist Nate Mendel.
The official 8x10 black-and-white promotional glossy features a candid portrait shot credited to photographer Allison Dyer, displaying the band members laughing together against an industrial backdrop. Printed along the lower margin are official studio logos for Roswell Records and Capitol Records, alongside a member key reading "Left to Right: Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Franz Stahl".
Each member has hand-signed the photograph in black felt-tip marker across their respective image placement or margin area: Dave Grohl ("Dave Grohl") on his chest, Taylor Hawkins ("Taylor") along the lower center, Nate Mendel ("Nate") across the band logo, and Franz Stahl ("F. Stahl") in the upper right sky.
The signed photograph has been encapsulated and slabbed inside an official, tamper-evident archival holder by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) (
