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.

The most important thing is that you honor that musical integrity, whether you make music that sounds like ABBA or you make music that sounds like Void.

With this record [The Colour and the Shape], I started taking the lyrics more seriously. This is a very personal album.

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

I'm happy that I have my family, and I'm happy that I had Virginia, where I grew up, to retreat to any time I felt overwhelmed. Whenever there were times when I felt like the rug was being pulled out from under me and I was floating in this crazy space, I would stop and go back to that neighborhood and realize nothing's changed, really.

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

If you play a Nickleback song backwards you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you'll hear Nickleback.

What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.

It's important to me that people feel connected to the band through the music, you know? I don't want it to be wallpaper. I don't want it to be background music. I want it to be clear: This is the song. These are the words. If you feel the same way as I do, sing it as loud as you can.

I'm a skinny, geeky, high school dropout - it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You'll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team 'cause he's on steroids and he's gonna get fat.

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
Image
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 love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

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

My first instrument was actually the trombone, but that didn't last long. Soon I was playing guitar in bands from the time I was 11 or 12.
Dave Grohl

Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.
Dave Grohl
Image
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 not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.
Dave Grohl

Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.

'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.'

One of the great things about Taylor Hawkins is his…shirtless body, really.
