Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.

With this record [The Colour and the Shape], I started taking the lyrics more seriously. This is a very personal album.

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.

Chicago gave me more music than any other city in America.

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.

A long time ago, I made a promise to myself: Okay, you know what? I'm going to play music, and hopefully I'll make enough money that I can go back to school. Once I make enough money to put myself through school, that's what I'm going to do.

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.

There's a reason why the Foo Fighters don't blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that's hallowed ground. We have to be careful. We have to tread lightly. We have talked about it before, but the opportunity hasn't really come up, or it just hasn't felt right.

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
'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

Usually, when you go in to make a record, you have 30 songs, and you record 30 of them, and 12 of them make it to the record.
Dave Grohl
Image
It's not until recently that I could even imagine myself as an adult. But these kids today, they look at me like I'm Neil Young. Nirvana is the band their parents listen to.

One of the great things about Taylor Hawkins is his…shirtless body, really.
Dave Grohl
Image
The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.
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

What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? 'Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs?'
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 believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.
Dave Grohl

Develop that individuality by working as hard as you can at what you love.

It's important to me that people feel connected to the band through the music, you know? I don't want it to be wallpaper. I don't want it to be background music. I want it to be clear: This is the song. These are the words. If you feel the same way as I do, sing it as loud as you can.
