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.

More quotes by Dave Grohl
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.
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.
Dave Grohl
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
Guilt is cancer. Guilt will confine you, torture you, destroy you as an artist. It's a black wall. It's a thief.
Dave Grohl
Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you've got.
Dave Grohl
At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.
Dave Grohl
Mick Fleetwood was one of my first interviews. And if you've ever talked to that dude, he's the sweetest guy in the world - he's just a trip.
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 there's so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you've already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?
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
I love being a drummer but I love being a musician in general and I love the Foo fighters.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?
Dave Grohl
Neil Young is my hero. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That's what that guy does.
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
Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there.
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
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
One of the great things about Taylor Hawkins is his…shirtless body, really.
Dave Grohl
I listen to boy band music before I have to fire someone.
