More quotes by 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 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
Whenever I say I made a record in the garage, people just assume that I have, like, a Lear jet parked in there or something. But really there's old luggage, a couple of bikes. It's big enough to put one minivan in. That's it. No dartboard. I'm so not macho.
Dave Grohl
The fact that I'm virtually deaf. Any woman who's going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown.
Dave Grohl
It's terrifying to play your favorite band's song in front of your favorite band.
Dave Grohl
People should never be afraid that Foo Fighters are ever going to break up, it's like your grandparents getting divorced - it's not gonna happen.
Dave Grohl
Don't look at the poster on your wall and think 'I could never do that.' Look at the poster on your wall and think 'I'm gonna do that!'

I'm obsessed with Led Zeppelin and have been since I was a teenager
Dave Grohl
I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.
Dave Grohl
A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.
Dave Grohl
What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.
Dave Grohl
As I get older... I start to realize that life ain't half bad. Each year, I'm amazed that I'm still alive. I don't take any of this for granted, I'm a lucky dude.
Dave Grohl
Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.
Dave Grohl
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
A long time ago, I made a promise to myself: Okay, you know what? I'm going to play music, and hopefully I'll make enough money that I can go back to school. Once I make enough money to put myself through school, that's what I'm going to do.
Dave Grohl
There are times when I feel like I'm a traveling minister. I'm trying to go out and get kids to pick-up yard sale instruments and change the world.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
With this record [The Colour and the Shape], I started taking the lyrics more seriously. This is a very personal album.
Dave Grohl
Chicago gave me more music than any other city in America.
