To me the most important thing is getting into a studio and making an album that is 12 or 14 amazing songs, getting up onstage, and making people happy by livening the rock.

More quotes by Dave Grohl
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
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.
Dave Grohl
When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.
Dave Grohl
Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
Ramones or AC/DC are two bands that have managed to keep their signature sound and their signature formula for years and years and album after album after album, without it seeming like a dead-end street.
Dave Grohl
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
From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.
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
That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.
Dave Grohl
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
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.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
There's poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage. I don't like doing what people expect me to do.
Dave Grohl
There's something about pulling out a real tape from a shelf and looking at it and knowing that 'Everlong' is on it, or 'Best of You' is on it, and it's really special.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
It's terrifying to play your favorite band's song in front of your favorite band.
Dave Grohl
My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.
Dave Grohl
Most people don't take some things into consideration. When they hear an album, they hear the artist or they hear the lyric or they hear the melody. But they don't really think about the environment in which it was recorded, which is so important. It's that thing that determines what the album sounds like.
Dave Grohl
Develop that individuality by working as hard as you can at what you love.
