CBGB represents a lot to New York City and to underground rock and to new wave and post-punk and whatever. But, you know, it's like tearing down the Jefferson Memorial or something.

CBGB was a wild place, ... The...

CBGB was a wild place, ... The first time I ever played there was in 1987, I think, with my hardcore band, Scream. And I remember the craziest [thing] about that club was you could be in
front of the stage and it could be louder than any show you've ever been to in your life. But if you were towards the back of the club at the bar, you could sit and have a conversation with
someone. It was the weirdest thing to me.

The thing that will never go a...

The thing that will never go away is that connection you make with a band or a song where you're moved by the fact that it's real people making music. You make that human connection with a song like 'Let It Be' or 'Long and Winding Road' or a song like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' or 'Roxanne,' any of those songs. They sound like people making music.

If you play a Nickleback song ...

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.

There's nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.

If you're trying to connect to...

If you're trying to connect to people with music - it's more of an outward process and a lot of times musicians can be very inward.

I don't want to say that most ...

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.

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.

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.

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

We only do what feels right. If something feels forced or contrived, then we pull back. We remain the Foo Fighters.

The best time for gum is just before getting onstage. I need a minty-fresh microphone.

How come drummers leave their drumsticks on the dashboard of their car? So they can park in the handicapped spaces.

When you're young, you're not afraid of what comes next. You're excited by it.

It was supposed to be gross, and now it's gorgeous.

Every band should study Queen ...

Every band should study Queen at Live Aid. If you really feel like that barrier is gone, you become Freddie Mercury. I consider him the greatest frontman of all time. Like, it's funny? you'd imagine that Freddie was more than human, but ... You know how he controlled Wembley Stadium at Live Aid in 1985? He stood up there and did his vocal warm ups with the audience. Something that intimate, where they realize, 'Oh yeah, he's just a f***ing dude.

Going out and playing music - that's what I do. I don't do much else.

Dave Grohl 238 quotes

A lot of people are promoting ...

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 238 quotes

I think maybe people see bands...

I think maybe people see bands and musicians as some sort of superhero unrealistic sport that happens in another dimension where it's not real people and not real emotions. So, I grew up
listening to Beatles records on my floor. That's how I learned how to play guitar. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be a musician.
