He mentioned the catalyst of the experience being during the first leg of the tour in support of the Foo Fighters album ''There Is Nothing Left to Lose'', with the mellower songs making him think about the heavier bands he used to listen to. Following the tour, Grohl went to his house in Alexandria, Virginia, to record some heavier songs in his home studio Studio 606 with Adam Kasper. Grohl would play with his Gibson ...

The Skull (album)

This led to the departure of bassist Sean McAllister in 1986; he was replaced by Ron Holzner during that year, who would remain with the band until their 2002 reunion. In early 1986, shortly after ''The Skull'' tour began, drummer Jeff Olson would also leave to pursue higher education and the band regrouped with a new lineup later that year. Olson would play the Hammond organ on Trouble's third studio album, ''Run to the Light'', in 1987 and keyboards on their 1990 self-titled album, eventually fully reuniting with the band in 1993.
