dave grohl the storyteller tales of life and music

Now let me tell you about my friend Tom Petty. While other rock stars spend their careers trying to build elaborate badass images, Grohl is like 'my mom is my best friend, and my daughter taught me the names of all Disney princesses and oh, I partied with Pantera, played a stadium rock show with a smashed leg and, you know, changed the landscape of rock with two of the biggest bands ever to exist on this planet. Overall, a must read if you really love music! Rock on!Īfter listening to this audiobook, I love Dave Grohl even more - how is that fucking possible?! His memoir is full of warmth, humor, absorbing behind-the-scenes stories of rock'n'roll adventure, heartbreak and mischief, and, yes spirituality, but not of the esoteric kind, but of the 'music, friends and family are my religion'-conviction. There is also about 10 minutes of bonus material in the audiobook that was not in my Kindle version. He has an incredible rich voice that was a pleasure just to listen to.

The audiobook was read by Dave Grohl himself.

For this book, I practiced immersion reading (listening to the audio while following along in a printed copy). I never even knew who Dave Grohl was before reading this book so you don't have to know who he is to enjoy it.

The Storyteller had me laughing out loud often. I think there is much more to look forward to and much more to life than getting bogged down in those kinds of things.' This guy is a rock star just for saying that! Instead of cutting this freeloader down to size, he went positive and said that he has a lot of creative ideas. I'm sure we'll come up with something good. When Dave Grohl was asked what he thought, 'I have many ideas of how we should alter that cover but we'll see what happens. Recently, there was a lawsuit filed by the baby on the cover of Nirvana's most famous cover (now a man in his 30's) who is claiming that he was taken advantage of and would like the cover to be altered (despite the fact that he has reenacted the cover scene many times and has stated that he didn't really do anything for Nirvana). If I had to tour in a van, I would not last more than 24 hours. He spent years touring in a van with numerous other bandmates. Although Dave never mentions it, he is simply a master in emotional intelligence. Dave strolls through his childhood and his days in the business, primarily with Scream, Nirvana, and the Foo Fighters. The Storyteller was an extremely entertaining memoir where Dave's love of music shines and shines through. Of course, we were too broke to afford cable TV so the choice was easy: radio! I must have listened to Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls at least 2,000 times. When I was in middle school, I was given a choice: a radio or TV. Perfect for anyone who loves music or emotional intelligence!īefore you do anything, open YouTube and type in 'Dave Grohl Plays Nirvana NYC 2021.'
