More quotes by Dave Grohl
'Some Kind Of Monster' is such a nightmare for any musician to watch because you're watching a band be honest to each other. Not a good idea, man!
Dave Grohl
I guess it was exciting that every time I pulled up to the gate of my house, I wondered if someone was going to jump out of the bush and stab me in the face.
Dave Grohl
I think that if you're passionate about something and you're driven and you're focused, then you can pretty much do anything that you want to do in life.
Dave Grohl
I listen to boy band music before I have to fire someone.
Dave Grohl
To me the most important thing is getting into a studio and making an album that is 12 or 14 amazing songs, getting up onstage, and making people happy by livening the rock.
Dave Grohl
When you're sequencing a record, you want the listener to stick with it from beginning to end, and in order to do that, you really have to map out the journey from the first song to the last.
Dave Grohl
If you play a Nickleback song backwards you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you'll hear Nickleback.
Dave Grohl
There are times when I feel like I'm a traveling minister. I'm trying to go out and get kids to pick-up yard sale instruments and change the world.
Dave Grohl
I never needed much, and I never thought I'd get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.
Dave Grohl
Whenever I say I made a record in the garage, people just assume that I have, like, a Lear jet parked in there or something. But really there's old luggage, a couple of bikes. It's big enough to put one minivan in. That's it. No dartboard. I'm so not macho.
Dave Grohl
There's something about pulling out a real tape from a shelf and looking at it and knowing that 'Everlong' is on it, or 'Best of You' is on it, and it's really special.
Dave Grohl
I like the rock documentaries that make it seem real. Some rock documentaries are meant to make the bands look larger than life.
Dave Grohl
The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.
Dave Grohl
In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.
Dave Grohl
When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.
Dave Grohl
I think I'm scared a lot. I'm scared of almost everything. And I'm constantly trying to work my way through each obstacle, whether it's a present, past, or future relationship.
Dave Grohl
As I get older... I start to realize that life ain't half bad. Each year, I'm amazed that I'm still alive. I don't take any of this for granted, I'm a lucky dude.
Dave Grohl
A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.
Dave Grohl
It's nice when people are happy to hear that you're still alive, rather than feeling like Oh, finally he's dead?
Dave Grohl
Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.
