More quotes by 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
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
A lot of people are promoting records that are just throw-it-agains t-the-wall-see- if-it-sticks meaningless bullshit. Everybody has the responsibility to do the right thing and promote artists that mean something.
Dave Grohl
When I joined Nirvana, I was the fifth or sixth drummer - I don't know if they'd ever had a drummer they were totally happy with. And they were strangers. There was never much of a deeper connection outside of the music.
Dave Grohl
I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.
Dave Grohl
Chicago gave me more music than any other city in America.
Dave Grohl
What I really miss these days in music - is the music. I prefer to listen to melodies and songs, not just sounds.
Dave Grohl
I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?
Dave Grohl
From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.
Dave Grohl
When it comes to making an album I take that very seriously. I am meticulous, overworked. That's my time to put everything under the microscope.
Dave Grohl
You know why Foo Fighters have been a band for 20 years? Because I've never really told anybody what I think of them. The last thing you ever want to do is go to therapy with your band.
Dave Grohl
Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.
Dave Grohl
I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.
Dave Grohl
I'm so not macho. It's crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.
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
What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? 'Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs?'
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
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
'Some Kind Of Monster' is such a nightmare for any musician to watch because you're watching a band be honest to each other. Not a good idea, man!
Dave Grohl
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.
