More quotes by Dave Grohl
It's terrifying to play your favorite band's song in front of your favorite band.
Dave Grohl
The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.
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
Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.
Dave Grohl
I listen to boy band music before I have to fire someone.

It's a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that's a good thing. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.
Dave Grohl
Develop that individuality by working as hard as you can at what you love.
Dave Grohl
What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? 'Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs?'

Dave Grohl
Always have the highest bar for yourself. Wake up everyday and no matter how crappy you feel, want to change something for the better. Do something that makes someone happy. Create something that inspires someone. Be someone's light when they are hopeless.
Dave Grohl
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.
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
I'm a skinny, geeky, high school dropout - it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You'll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team 'cause he's on steroids and he's gonna get fat.
Dave Grohl
A lot of the records you buy, there's nothing you can hold in your hand, it's all 1′s and 0′s, this digital cloud floating in the ether, but with analog albums, you can hold it in your hand.
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
When I listen to music these days, and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine - it kinda sucks the life out of music.
Dave Grohl
Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there.
Dave Grohl
I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?
Dave Grohl
I'm not allergic to fashion. I'm just one of those people who when they put on a suit look like they're going to a funeral or to court.
Dave Grohl
I once received a cape that was made from the little purple bags that Crown Royal Whisky comes in.
