More quotes by Dave Grohl
A lot of people are promoting records that are just throw-it-agains t-the-wall-see- if-it-sticks meaningless bullshit. Everybody has the responsibility to do the right thing and promote artists that mean something.

Dave Grohl
At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.
Dave Grohl
When you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.
Dave Grohl
I don't want to say that most rock bands live these formulaic biography existences - but they kinda do. There's always a divorce. There's always an OD. There's always a bad business manager.
Dave Grohl
When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.
Dave Grohl
There's some things in life that you really consider to be priceless.
Dave Grohl
Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do.
Dave Grohl
I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?
Dave Grohl
Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.
