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

I'm obsessed with Led Zeppelin and have been since I was a teenager

When Nirvana became popular, you could very easily slip and get lost during that storm. I fortunately had really heavy anchors - old friends, family.

I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.

Most of our songs were written on acoustic guitar before they made it to the practice stage.

At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.

I believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.

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

I think actually singing the words is more therapeutic than just sitting down to write them, because then you are letting it out, and it's coming from your gut.

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.

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.

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
Image
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

There's a reason why the Foo Fighters don't blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that's hallowed ground. We have to be careful. We have to tread lightly. We have talked about it before, but the opportunity hasn't really come up, or it just hasn't felt right.

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.

No one is you, and that is your power.

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.

Guilt is cancer. Guilt will confine you, torture you, destroy you as an artist. It's a black wall. It's a thief.

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.

'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!
