A musician should only sound like what they do, and no two musicians sound the same. It's an individual-feel thing, you know?

More quotes by Dave Grohl
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
Develop that individuality by working as hard as you can at what you love.
Dave Grohl
No one has any faith in the tape anymore - everyone just relies on computers and considers the hardrive to be the safest option, and I don't. I think an analog tape is something you can hold.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
Chicago gave me more music than any other city in America.
Dave Grohl
Just the other day someone threw a bra duct-taped to a tennis ball. I just stood there, playing guitar, thinking how this was totally premeditated. Some girl sat around inventing a way to get her bra onstage from 40 rows back.
Dave Grohl
I guess it was exciting that every time I pulled up to the gate of my house, I wondered if someone was going to jump out of the bush and stab me in the face.
Dave Grohl
With this record [The Colour and the Shape], I started taking the lyrics more seriously. This is a very personal album.
Dave Grohl
What I really miss these days in music - is the music. I prefer to listen to melodies and songs, not just sounds.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
One of the great things about Taylor Hawkins is his…shirtless body, really.
Dave Grohl
From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.
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
I mean, I never liked being told what to do. It's one of the reasons I dropped out of school. Give me something to assemble, I won't look at the directions, I'll try to figure it out by myself. It's why I love Ikea furniture.
Dave Grohl
Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do. It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].
Dave Grohl
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
When you're sequencing a record, you want the listener to stick with it from beginning to end, and in order to do that, you really have to map out the journey from the first song to the last.
Dave Grohl
When I joined Nirvana, I was the fifth or sixth drummer - I don't know if they'd ever had a drummer they were totally happy with. And they were strangers. There was never much of a deeper connection outside of the music.
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
When there's so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you've already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?
Dave Grohl
