London, Sep 23 - Former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl is not happy being called the late lead singer Kurt Cobain's 'sideman'.The 38-year old insists his role was pivotal to the band's success. Grohl believes he and bassist Krist Novoselic were equally important in contributing to the success of the band. He is tired of being overshadowed by Cobain, reports contactmusic.comHe said: '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 have been called hired guns and I just laugh.'Anyone who has ever been in a band, 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.'Grohl is presently the lead singer for the successful band Foo Fighters.
