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

More quotes by Dave Grohl

I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.
Dave Grohl
Image
I'm big on taking the lady out to dinner. We have some candlelight romance every now and then. And our whole family is within a 6-mile radius. It's disgustingly domestic. I'm big on Costco.

Image
I love being a drummer but I love being a musician in general and I love the Foo fighters.
Dave Grohl
Image
No one is you, and that is your power.
Dave Grohl
Image
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.

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.

Develop that individuality by working as hard as you can at what you love.

When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.

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.

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
I don't want to say that most rock bands live these formulaic biography existences - but they kinda do. There's always a divorce. There's always an OD. There's always a bad business manager.
Dave Grohl
Image
I believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.
Dave Grohl
Image
CBGB represents a lot to New York City and to underground rock and to new wave and post-punk and whatever. But, you know, it's like tearing down the Jefferson Memorial or something.
Dave Grohl
Image
When I listen to the radio, I just hear so much music that doesn't even sound like people. The vocals are all tuned, and the drums are all fake.
Dave Grohl
Image
It's terrifying to play your favorite band's song in front of your favorite band.
Dave Grohl
Image
I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.
Dave Grohl
Image
I once received a cape that was made from the little purple bags that Crown Royal Whisky comes in.

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.

'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.'

If you were to sit me down in a classroom, with fluorescent lights humming and some woman trying to teach me Italian, there's no way. But scream goes to Italy, we stay in a squat, and the only way you can ask someone where to take a piss is to do it in Italian. So I learned Italian.
