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.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
A lot of the records you buy, there's nothing you can hold in your hand, it's all 1's and 0's, this digital cloud floating in the ether. but with analog albums, you can hold it in your hand.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
It's tough to go to sleep at night, and I wake up after five hours because I feel like I'm wasting time. I just sit up at night and think about what I can do next.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
A musician should only sound like what they do, and no two musicians sound the same. It's an individual-feel thing, you know?
Quote by -Dave Grohl
Dude, maybe not everyone loves 'Glee.' Me included. I watched 10 minutes and it wasn't my thing.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
Neil Young is my hero, and such a great example. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That's what that guy does. Sometimes you pay attention, sometimes you don't. Sometimes he hands it to you, sometimes he keeps it to himself. He's a good man with a beautiful family and wonderful life.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
People are so into digital recording now they forgot how easy analog recording can be.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
At 13 years old, I realized I could start my own band. I could write my own song, I could record my own record. I could start my own label. I could release my own record. I could book my own shows. I could write and publish my own fanzine. I could silk-screen my own T-shirt. I could do this all myself.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
I've always been a fan of melody and emotional melancholy, whether it was Rites of Spring or Tears for Fears or Neil Young. If I hear a song that has a sweet melody, I'm a sucker for it, whether it's Linkin Park or Little Richard.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
Cause 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.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
It's good to wander into the studio and walk out with something that's better than you'd imagined it to be. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
I've experienced great things, I've experienced great tragedies. I've done almost everything I could possibly ever imagine doing, but I just know that there's more.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I'd go back to Virginia.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America - land of the free, home of the brave.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
There's poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage. I don't like doing what people expect me to do.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
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.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
I can understand how some people might resent me for having the audacity to continue playing music, but it'd take a lot more than that to stop me from doing it. I started Foo Fighters because I didn't want to retreat.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
When I listen to music these days, and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine - it kinda sucks the life out of music.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
There's always gonna be rock n' roll bands, there's always gonna be kids that love rock n' roll records, and there will always be rock n' roll.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
I have crazy claustrophobic dreams, weird elevator dreams where the elevator closes in and all of a sudden I am lying down - oh my God, it's a casket. Just freaky stuff like that.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
When you're young, you're not afraid of what comes next. You're excited by it.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
Give me something to assemble, I won't look at the directions, I'll try to figure it out by myself. It's why I love Ikea furniture.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
I taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
When Nirvana became popular, you could very easily slip and get lost during that storm. I fortunately had really heavy anchors - old friends, family.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
I had a Super Grover doll growing up. Super Grover was very clumsy, he wasn't very good-looking. But in his own way he'd always save the day.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.
Quote by -Dave Grohl
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.
