When I sit down to interview people, I don't hold questions and I don't know the answers. They're more like conversations that become lessons.
Dave Grohl
Image
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
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.
Dave Grohl
Image
I like the rock documentaries that make it seem real. Some rock documentaries are meant to make the bands look larger than life.

Image
I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.
Dave Grohl
Image
If it weren't for the Beatles, I would not be a musician.
Dave Grohl
Image
What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.
Dave Grohl
Image
Mick Fleetwood was one of my first interviews. And if you've ever talked to that dude, he's the sweetest guy in the world - he's just a trip.
Dave Grohl
Image
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.
Dave Grohl
Image
When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.
Dave Grohl
Image
We just do what we always do. We play shows and go home and rest and then play more shows.
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
My first instrument was actually the trombone, but that didn't last long. Soon I was playing guitar in bands from the time I was 11 or 12.
Dave Grohl
Image
There's nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.
Dave Grohl
Image
When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.
Dave Grohl
Image
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.
Dave Grohl
Image
You know why Foo Fighters have been a band for 20 years? Because I've never really told anybody what I think of them. The last thing you ever want to do is go to therapy with your band.
Dave Grohl
Image
Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.
Dave Grohl
Image
The most important thing is that you honor that musical integrity, whether you make music that sounds like ABBA or you make music that sounds like Void.
Dave Grohl
Image
The fact that I'm virtually deaf. Any woman who's going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown.
