Autographs of Pat Smear
Georg Albert Ruthenberg (born August 5, 1959), better known by his stage name Pat Smear, is an American musician and since 2010 has been a rhythm guitarist for the Foo Fighters. He was the lead guitarist and co-founder of Los Angeles–based punk band The Germs and a rhythm guitarist for Nirvana (which he joined as a touring guitarist in 1993). After Nirvana disbanded following the death of frontman Kurt Cobain, drummer Dave Grohl went on to form Foo Fighters, with Smear joining on guitar. Smear left the band in 1997 before rejoining as a touring guitarist in 2005 and being promoted back to a full-time member in 2010.
Smear was born and raised in West Los Angeles, California to a German Jewish father and African American and Native American mother. His parents enrolled him in piano lessons at a young age, and a few years later he began teaching himself to play the guitar.
At age 13, he left home to join a commune. Later, he attended Innovative Program School (IPS), an alternative school within University High School in Los Angeles. It was there he met vocalist Darby Crash, alongside whom he would play in the Germs in the late 1970s. Smear and Crash were both expelled from IPS due to concerns they were inciting unruly behavior among the students.
