When I joined Nirvana, I was the fifth or sixth drummer - I don't know if they'd ever had a drummer they were totally happy with. And they were strangers. There was never much of a deeper connection outside of the music.

I love being a drummer but I love being a musician in general and I love the Foo fighters.

You will only be great at things you love to do don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.

I think musicians like me are drawn to those older desks, not just because they're legend and lore but also because they do something really specific that is hard to emulate or re-create digitally.

Ramones or AC/DC are two bands that have managed to keep their signature sound and their signature formula for years and years and album after album after album, without it seeming like a dead-end street.

There's a reason why the Foo Fighters don't blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that's hallowed ground. We have to be careful. We have to tread lightly. We have talked about it before, but the opportunity hasn't really come up, or it just hasn't felt right.

There's nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.

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.

What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.

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.

All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
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.

One of the great things about Taylor Hawkins is his…shirtless body, really.

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.

If it weren't for the Beatles, I would not be a musician.

The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.
