The Storyteller
The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music | Dave Grohl
165 posts | 154 read | 3 reading | 67 to read
So, I've written a book. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters...the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

It was interesting learning more about Grohl‘s life and about the bands he was in. He is a wonderful juxtaposition of dorky kid, anti-everything rebel, and man with a heart of gold.

Just a brief reading intermission to say I just returned from seeing the Foo Fighters at Fenway Park. It was my third time seeing them and this 69-year-old screamed, sang and stood for 3 hours straight. Honestly, this was the best I‘ve seen them and that‘s saying a lot. My daughter says that she sees me in retirement traveling the country to follow their tour. 💕💕💕 I definitely want more.

Fantastic!

I remember very well when Nirvana and grunge came on the scene in the 90s.

Dave Grohl, of course, covers that time period and much more in this memoir that is eloquently told.

I suggested listening with my husband while on a drive, and he kept asking to listen to more in the following days. You guys - that is not like my husband and speaks volumes as to this audiobook.

LiteraryinPA What a good sign! 4mo

Just when I think I can‘t love Dave Grohl any more than I already do, I find out he has a memoir that I listen to him narrate, and I realize I clearly can love him more. This was just so fun and refreshing. I love that this man has walked such an interesting path and that he can still be so amazed by it, like a little boy. It was just nice to listen to someone who is having fun and isn‘t jaded. Even if you aren‘t a fan of his music, listen to this

4.5 stars, very close to 5. This was an excellent collection of rock and roll stories, expertly written and wonderfully narrated, told with humor and heart. He is humble, a little insecure, and he shared some of his philosophies for life, but much of it was more surface level. However, for anyone who is a fan of Dave's projects or rock music in general, this is easily on of the best bios available, and audio is highly recommended.

AmyG Agree. This was wonderful. 7mo

Finally resolved my Internet issues! The last 3 weeks it would go out for 3 days every 4 days. But about Dave. He's my age and I moved to Olympia as he moved out. I know exactly where he was getting his beers and corn dogs. It's weird that Nirvana lasted only 4 years when it completely transformed and shaped the identity of a generation. Having survived my own episodes of compounded grief, I can relate to his sensitivity and awe for life.

This is one of the first books I have read in a very long time, and I absolutely loved it. As a fan of both Nirvana and Foo Fighters, as well as Dave Grohl in general, I think this is a perfect collection of stories. Dave tells stories of his childhood, finding music, girls, friends, family, music, and love of every kind. It will make you think of your own memories, tear up, and smile.

I listened to most of this as an audiobook, but had to switch to ebook for the last bit because my Libby loan ran out and everyone seemed to check this out over the Thanksgiving break. By that point though, I had Grohl‘s voice in my head and also enjoyed seeing the photos in the ebook. The narrative is pretty anecdotal, but I didn‘t mind because Grohl is such an amiable narrator. And I couldn‘t help but love how much joy and gratitude he expresses

marleed I didn‘t even know I was a Dave Grohl fan until I listened to this audiobook after seeing so much Litsy love! 11mo
shortsarahrose @marleed I know the Foo Fighters most popular stuff but was never a super fan, but this has definitely made me want to listen to more! He just seems like a genuine guy. I listened to Alan Alda‘s memoir earlier this year and felt similarly where I liked him even more after 11mo

WOW! The title of this memoir does not lie, Dave Grohl is an AMAZING storyteller. I highly recommend the audiobook. Listening to Dave himself tell the tales of his life and formation as a passionate and talented Rockstar intertwined with his own personal musical interludes captives the reader and brings them center stage to the creation of a legend.

I picked this up because I love memoirs and I‘d heard good things about the book. I may be Gen X but I‘m not much of a Nirvana fan and I had to Google Foo Fighters to recognize their music. That said, these stories are interesting and I‘m glad I read the book but I think this book is best for Grohl‘s fans. I missed a lot of the musical references and wish the photos had been labeled because the only person I recognized was Kurt Cobain.

This book is so good. Grohl has an amazing life and career. This book makes you love him even more. Do yourself a favor and listen to it on audio. This book just hits different when Grohl reads his story to you.

marleed I felt the same way, and prior to the Litsy Love on this book I would not have even known he was a member of the Foo Fighters. I just loved how much he loves and is awestruck by his own life - both professionally and personally. 1y

This was fantastic. I laughed, and I cried. It touches on his time in Nirvana, including the passing of Kurt Cobain, along with his time with Foo Fighters. Has there ever been a more likeable rock star?

A wonderful story written by a such an upbeat, humble and hard-working person. Grohl does not get into details of his personal life much but his love for his daughters and mom are evident throughout. I enjoyed the road trip with him from the start of his career till his rise in popularity. You do not have to be a Nirvana or Foo Fighters fan (I wasn't) to appreciate this book.

Really surprised by how much I loved hearing his stories. I liked Nirvana & Foo Fighters, but I‘ve generally been indifferent about music. Would not have picked this one up without Litten‘s recs. Last section was my favorite. Numerous stories about meeting so many musical legends, but Grohl‘s self-deprecating sense of humor keeps the stories from being over-the-top. Great example of the happiness you can achieve when you let your freak flag fly.

RebL I liked that he wasn‘t afraid to be uncool about his fandom. 2y
DogMomIrene @RebL Yes! He shared so many uncool moments. Many about being a fan, but some were just uncool moments…and he had such a great sense of humor about whatever the circumstances were. He‘s one cool uncool dude. 2y

This was recommended by a friend and I‘m glad she said something about it! The audio was fantastic, and had a bonus story at the end. I did roll my eyes at some of the name-dropping but, I mean he HAS met & played with some incredible people. It‘s also part love letter to his mom, to his family-esp his daughters, and to music. And, he is a great storyteller.

A year ago, if I had to match the name Dave Grohl to what made him famous, I would have failed. I stacked the book anyway because there was so much Litsy love for this book.. Oh my goodness, what a wonderful book - thank you Littens! Dave‘s joy for the life he‘s been able to live is evident on every page. Following the audiobook, I spent almost as much time on YouTube videos. I‘m now an Foo Fighter fan!

I can't say I was a huge fan of Dave Grohl's music but I read really good reviews so listened to the audio version over the holidays while doing a lot of driving.I am Gen X but no need to be Gen X or a punk/grunge fan to appreciate his story. Grohl read the audio version and it was fabulous. It was more like sitting listening to a friend tell stories as he found his passion in life. He is very down to earth, very humble, and very talented.

#12booksin2022. As a middle schooler/teen in the 90s I was obsessed with Nirvana and I have loved the Foo Fighters. This is not a tell-all. Instead, I found it a warm retelling of important moments in Dave Grohl‘s life and career. It is respectful all those in his life and never puts anyone down. I found the stories about his daughter most touching.

I love and I do mean ❤️❤️ love Dave Grohl. I have since Nirvana days. I‘ve watched as he‘s lost dear friends, as he‘s sung the praises of his mother, as he‘s moved through life & musical phases. He is generous with his time & attention to fans. A great dad. I can‘t say enough good things about him. I‘m so glad he wrote this. With the recent deaths of his mother & Taylor Hawkins, his best friend & band mate, I worry & send my small prayers his way.

Dave Grohl seems like a top-notch human. I listened to the audiobook narrated by him, which is always the way to go with celebrity memoirs IMO. Obviously, his music career is the feature of the majority of the stories. His three daughters and family life were the most touching and memorable for me.

Y‘all, I loved this book! Now I want to know Dave Grohl. I laughed with him and hurt with him too. My heart broke listening to him talk about Taylor Hawkins since this book was published before Hawkins‘ death. The part of this book I really loved though was Dave as a fan getting to meet and work with all these musicians he‘d looked up to most of his life. Family man Dave is also nice. If you read this book, I suggest the audiobook. #audiowalk

TrishB Hubby keeps telling me to read this! There‘s a new Gary Numan documentary that aired last week and Dave talks about Numan and how he realised you could be weird and succeed! Although Dave is probably the least weird rock star around 😁 2y
Cinfhen You‘re right @TrishB Dave is SO NORMAL!!! Whatever normal is these days!!! Your hubs book stack is FABULOUS 2y
TrishB His whole book case is like that 😁 and very disorganised! 2y

Suet624 I‘m really glad Dave wrote this book because people who would never listen to his music get to know him. I love Dave and I love his music. 💕💕 2y
Cinfhen This is probably one of my favorite celebrity memoirs!! I think he‘s just a wonderful dad, husband, son & musician @Suet624 🎶🙌🏻 2y
