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 four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!"), I have decided to tell these stories just as I have always done, in my own voice. 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.

Whether in audio or paperback format though, this was an exceptional book by a very talented man. Dave Grohl has a gift with words as well as music and rhythm and it played out in this book. What a life he has had and continues to lead.

The last story got me all emotional, so beautifully told.
Dave has this ability to connect with large groups of people from a distance and make them feel like friends. Most people I know like that struggle to connect with others one on one. This does not seem the case with Dave. He seems like a totally in the moment guy, one that'll look you on the eye and connect with you is what I've heard. I hope to meet him one day. However hearing him read his stories felt like he was sitting in the car next to me chatting away. at the end of the book, I was so thankful for hearing this and said to myself out loud "love you Dave". that to me was like a hug with a mate after a good old chat.
oh he also drops a line about my home town Adelaide. Next time you're in town Dave, Coopers pale ale or your favourite McLaren Vale red is on me! even if I never get to meet you, I'll be at every show in Adelaide enjoying the music and the good times. PS, I play drums pretty good, call me up to stage... I'll smackdown monkey wrench so hard in a heart beat lol
love you Dave
