Grohl spent the last several years working on a new side project named PROBOT. According to an interview published in the magazine Guitar World, the project began as a self-induced backlash against the more commercial friendly material Grohl wrote for There Is Nothing Left to Lose. The album features various metal singers on vocals, most notably Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, and is entirely Grohl's instrumentation except for 2 lead guitar tracks performed by Soundgarden's Kim Thayil. A PROBOT demo disc is where the previously unreleased Nirvana song "You Know You're Right" was leaked in the middle of the Nirvana LLC dissolution case.
