More quotes by 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
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
There weren't a lot of career opportunities in crazy-fast hardcore punk, so you didn't have a lot of ambition, just the love and passion to play music with your friends.
Dave Grohl
I'm obsessed with Led Zeppelin and have been since I was a teenager
Dave Grohl
I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.
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
From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.
Dave Grohl
I think maybe what happened was the convenience of technology overshadowed the experience of holding an album in your hands, and sitting on your bedroom floor, and staring at a picture of John Lennon or Gene Simmons or Johnny Rotten. That tangible experience can sometimes become an even more emotional experience, because it's really happening.
Dave Grohl
I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.
Dave Grohl
I dropped out of high school and I couldn't go to college 'cause I wasn't smart enough, so I'd resigned myself to loading trucks and playing punk rock on the weekends.
Dave Grohl
Joining a band without ever having really met the people before, you just want to be musically powerful.
Dave Grohl
I'm so not macho. It's crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.
Dave Grohl
What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.
Dave Grohl
Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.
Dave Grohl
The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.
Dave Grohl
A long time ago, I made a promise to myself: Okay, you know what? I'm going to play music, and hopefully I'll make enough money that I can go back to school. Once I make enough money to put myself through school, that's what I'm going to do.
Dave Grohl
My first instrument was actually the trombone, but that didn't last long. Soon I was playing guitar in bands from the time I was 11 or 12.
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
Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.
Dave Grohl
It's not until recently that I could even imagine myself as an adult. But these kids today, they look at me like I'm Neil Young. Nirvana is the band their parents listen to.
