What I really miss these days in music - is the music. I prefer to listen to melodies and songs, not just sounds.

With this record [The Colour and the Shape], I started taking the lyrics more seriously. This is a very personal album.

I like the rock documentaries that make it seem real. Some rock documentaries are meant to make the bands look larger than life.

A place like Sound City, which was just a big, beautiful room where you would hit record and capture the sound of the performer - a place like that isn't necessarily in demand anymore.

For every Foo Fighters record, we've had two or three beautiful, acoustic-based songs, but they never usually make their way to the record, because we want to make rock records.

Once I got into punk rock, I started mail-ordering albums, because a lot of the record stores in my area didn't carry the punk bands from England or Sweden or Chicago or Los Angeles

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.

From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.
Dave Grohl

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

'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!

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.

It's nice when people are happy to hear that you're still alive, rather than feeling like Oh, finally he's dead?

The most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone's cool.

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