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

Don't look at the poster on your wall and think 'I could never do that.' Look at the poster on your wall and think 'I'm gonna do that!'
Dave Grohl
Image
My whole life, I have listened to people like Neil Young, or Crosby, Stills & Nash, and artists that have made a career out of the mellow, folky, acoustic dynamic.

A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.

Image
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.

There's nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.

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.

At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.

Image
Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.
Dave Grohl
Image
Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.
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.
Dave Grohl
Image
Chicago gave me more music than any other city in America.
Dave Grohl
Image
I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.
Dave Grohl
Image
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
Image
I dropped out of high school and I couldn't go to college 'cause I wasn't smart enough, so I'd resigned myself to loading trucks and playing punk rock on the weekends.
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
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
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.
