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.

What I really miss these days in music - is the music. I prefer to listen to melodies and songs, not just sounds.

Once I got into punk rock, I started mail-ordering albums, because a lot of the record stores in my area didn't carry the punk bands from England or Sweden or Chicago or Los Angeles

No one is you, and that is your power.

Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you've got.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.

Whenever I say I made a record in the garage, people just assume that I have, like, a Lear jet parked in there or something. But really there's old luggage, a couple of bikes. It's big enough to put one minivan in. That's it. No dartboard. I'm so not macho.

I like the rock documentaries that make it seem real. Some rock documentaries are meant to make the bands look larger than life.

When you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.

We're in this band, the Foo Fighters, making music for the love of music. We all came from bands that had disbanded, and we were drawn to each other because we missed playing.

I once received a cape that was made from the little purple bags that Crown Royal Whisky comes in.

I'm so not macho. It's crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.
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.
Dave Grohl

'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

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.
Dave Grohl
Image
For every Foo Fighters record, we've had two or three beautiful, acoustic-based songs, but they never usually make their way to the record, because we want to make rock records.
Dave Grohl

The most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone's cool.

I think maybe what happened was the convenience of technology overshadowed the experience of holding an album in your hands, and sitting on your bedroom floor, and staring at a picture of John Lennon or Gene Simmons or Johnny Rotten. That tangible experience can sometimes become an even more emotional experience, because it's really happening.

When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.

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.
