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.

Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do. It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].

A musician should only sound like what they do, and no two musicians sound the same. It's an individual-feel thing, you know?

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

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 has any faith in the tape anymore - everyone just relies on computers and considers the hardrive to be the safest option, and I don't. I think an analog tape is something you can hold.

For every Foo Fighters record, we've had two or three beautiful, acoustic-based songs, but they never usually make their way to the record, because we want to make rock records.

It's not until recently that I could even imagine myself as an adult. But these kids today, they look at me like I'm Neil Young. Nirvana is the band their parents listen to.

A place like Sound City, which was just a big, beautiful room where you would hit record and capture the sound of the performer - a place like that isn't necessarily in demand anymore.

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

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.

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

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

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.

When I sit down to interview people, I don't hold questions and I don't know the answers. They're more like conversations that become lessons.

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.

All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.

I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.

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

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.
