Dave Grohl, former drummer of Nirvana, formed this band after Cobain's death, using material he was reluctant to share (worried about "ruining the chemistry"). Krist Novosellic (also from Nirvana) was considered as a bandmate (Grohl didn't want it to be a solo project), but there was a concern they'd be seen as "a reincarnation of Nirvana." However, despite his efforts, many people do think of Foo Fighters as "the band with a Nirvana member in it."
