Beatles were huge influence on Nirvana, says Dave Grohl

The Foo Fighters star spoke of The Beatles' impact on his life with Access Hollywood at the 2012 MusiCares benefit on Saturday when Sir Paul McCartney was named the organization's 'Person of the Year'.When I was young, that's how I learned how to play music - I had a guitar and a Beatles songbook," he recalled. "I would listen to the records and play along.
