Dave Grohl's Quotes
- When I discovered punk rock, the only punk rockers I'd seen were on Quincy.
- [on George W. Bush] When we heard that he was using our music at his rallies it was like being raped in the ass. It was not a good feeling.
- Live Aid (1985) was huge. How many bands played that thing? Everybody. Queen smoked 'em. They just took everybody.
- I always go, and people will think I'm crazy for this as there are a lot of Bowie [David Bowie] eras and they're all great, but I really like the 'Let's Dance' period. Because, as a drummer, that's one of the best air drumming albums of all time. I can appreciate technical drumming, sure. But to me there's nothing better than being in a bar full of people dancing and air drumming when none of them know how to play the drums. That and 'Back In Black', anyone will air drum to those albums.
- Who's to say what's a good voice and not a good voice? The Voice (2011)? Imagine Bob Dylan standing there singing 'Blowin in the Wind' in front of Christina Aguilera. 'I think you sound a little nasally and sharp.'
