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.

I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.
Dave Grohl
Image
I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.
Dave Grohl
Image
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.

I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.

Dave Grohl

A musician should only sound like what they do, and no two musicians sound the same. It's an individual-feel thing, you know?
Dave Grohl
Image
Usually, when Nirvana made music, there wasn't a lot of conversation. We wanted everything to be surreal. We didn't want to have some contrived composition.
Dave Grohl
Image
There's poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage. I don't like doing what people expect me to do.
Dave Grohl
Image
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
Image
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.
Dave Grohl
Image
All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
Dave Grohl
Image
The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.

Neil Young is my hero. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That's what that guy does.

When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.
Dave Grohl
Image
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.

People should never be afraid that Foo Fighters are ever going to break up, it's like your grandparents getting divorced - it's not gonna happen.
