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.

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
Image
I know a lot of people who wouldn't be comfortable with everything that comes with being in a band as big as Nirvana. The thing that I don't understand is not appreciating that simple gift of being able to play music.

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.

Joining a band without ever having really met the people before, you just want to be musically powerful.

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.

I've experienced great things, I've experienced great tragedies. I've done almost everything I could possibly ever imagine doing, but I just know that there's more.

I'm obsessed with Led Zeppelin and have been since I was a teenager

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.

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
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

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

What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? 'Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs?'
Dave Grohl
Image
My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.

I believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.
Dave Grohl
Image
'In Utero' was the first time I'd made an album that reached into the dark side. I remember the conflict and the uncertainty. I remember all those things when I hear 'Pennyroyal Tea.'
Dave Grohl
Image
I love being a drummer but I love being a musician in general and I love the Foo fighters.
Dave Grohl
Image
I think actually singing the words is more therapeutic than just sitting down to write them, because then you are letting it out, and it's coming from your gut.

There's some things in life that you really consider to be priceless.
