It's nice when people are happy to hear that you're still alive, rather than feeling like Oh, finally he's dead?

More quotes by Dave Grohl
I think I'm scared a lot. I'm scared of almost everything. And I'm constantly trying to work my way through each obstacle, whether it's a present, past, or future relationship.
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
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
All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
Dave Grohl
It's a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that's a good thing. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.
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 believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.
Dave Grohl
The fact that I'm virtually deaf. Any woman who's going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown.
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 you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.
Dave Grohl
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.
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
You will only be great at things you love to do don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.
Dave Grohl
I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.
Dave Grohl
I never needed much, and I never thought I'd get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.
Dave Grohl
I'm happy that I have my family, and I'm happy that I had Virginia, where I grew up, to retreat to any time I felt overwhelmed. Whenever there were times when I felt like the rug was being pulled out from under me and I was floating in this crazy space, I would stop and go back to that neighborhood and realize nothing's changed, really.
Dave Grohl
I had long hair since I was 17 years old. It was time for me to let go. I hated being the guy at the wedding in a suit with a ponytail.
Dave Grohl
I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.
Dave Grohl
If it weren't for the Beatles, I would not be a musician.
Dave Grohl
I think the producers or whoever's doing the show are tripping so hard. They must be on acid. They live in this, like, weird grass mound and there's this 'sun' in the sky with this little baby's face that's just, like, bleaaargh-aarghagh. It's just so totally insane. It's such an acid thing, man. For kids!
Dave Grohl
