Seems like a great guy alright, and his first album he released under Foo Fighters was good, but overall I find the Foo Fighters dull, boring, and entirely uninspiring middle of the road rock drudge.

[@mhmh-gb9rv]

Dave doesn't enough credit for his role in Nirvana's success. Whenever people talk about them it's always all about Kurt and they forget that Nirvana went through several drummers first and didn't have much success until they settled on Dave. With the loud guitars and Kurt's screaming vocals they needed someone who could really wail on the drums and nobody hits 'em harder than Dave. By the way, not a knock on Kurt, he was great but so is Dave. Also Krist was too.

[@toddubow2599]

Nirvana would be a footnote without Dave. Listen to Nevermind - the drums were critical and not replacable.

[@gariannobinger9933]

True, when it comes to talking about Nirvana, Dave gives lots and lots of credit to everyone else in the band, usually not taking much credit for himself.

[@gariannobinger9933]

A minor footnote here: The drum lines on Nevermind were already written by Chad Channing when Dave started with the band. Yes, Dave played drums on the album and did a fantastic job, but the songs were already written.

This just hit me so hard after losing Taylor a few days ago. I myself growing up was a huge Nirvana fan, which made me appreciate the foofightahs but wasn't heavy in to them. But like Grohl at heart I am and will always be a drummer and percussionist but because music has been a huge part of my world I'll find a way to jam , and like Taylor I'm an addict that's almost died too many times who's in the good fight now 6 years sober He really deserves appreciation because like addicts drummers tend to get overlooked at times but most bands can't be or do w out them. Just like Addicts need to use just to feel normal and not get sick when it turns from using now and then to a real habit. You would think that at this time in the world the problem would be taken as serious as any other disease. Stigma is part responsible for this lack of care and or understanding. As COVD became the big deal media stopped bringing attention to the pandemic of addiction where more people have been dying because of this lack of empathy and compassion. It's sad all I want is to raise awareness about how hard it is to play normal when your live revolves around addiction and for society to understand these are real people so help to treat these real problems.

Come on... being compared to such a legend like Kurt Cobain is an honor for Dave. Dave has his feet on the ground... That's why he has billions of fans in every country in the world.

[@TheVesylum]

rock and roll has never died. stop trying to push this narrative. it's always been relatively underground.

[@baileygriessel2115]

It was underground? Are you joking?

[@cwpv2477]

Who cares about genres anyway like for real? Either it grips you or it doesn’t. No matter if Sinatra, Nirvana, Manson or Amy Winehouse.

[@annienormal5822]

I'm so damn proud of Dave for the life and legacy he's created. He could easily have thrown in the towel when Nirvana ended, but instead he showed us all that we can pick ourselves up and keep going, even when it looks like all is lost.

[@adamsawyer779]

If he broke his leg protecting his guitar, then my respect for him just increased

[@elsabean6791]

Dave and Taylor’s friendship is what everyone of us needs and what some of us never find.

[@jorgerodriguez85]

The love & respect I have for Dave Grohl & his music is based on Dave Grohl, not because of other people or bands.

[@shaunbang]

RIP Taylor. Man I was such a huge fan of Taylor for both his drumming but mainly because of his personality being so damn positive. Other drummers probably couldn’t deal with being the drummer of the band led by the drummer of the most famous band ever in Nirvana yet because of his personality Taylor outshined all that noise and became one of the most well known drummers of all time which most bands have drummers the general public can’t name yet Taylor is clearly the heart of the foo fighters being in almost every interview for the band along with grohl. I know drugs were involved but it just seems odd as he didn’t seem like a drug abuser which I read he stopped and became more safe about it all after his accidental OD. Just pray for his family and friends. Gone way too soon but will forever be remembered for his amazing artistry and personality

[@corridefazio]

I’m watching this the day after Taylor died and i’m just looking at it in such a different light

[@ronnyp6934]

The man is a legend he can drum sing play guitar and write and me i just have good taste in music...

[@Sophia26488]

That beautiful hair. This man is truly my hero in every way. Absolutely love and adore Dave Grohl so much. Just everything about him is the reason why I’m still alive. Thank you Dave Grohl ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nickhawthorne7740]

he's 49, I was wondering if he colors it or he just doesn't have any gray?

[@Sophia26488]

Nick Hawthorne he has grey bits yeah, it just depends on the light really, he even has grey bits in his beard too. But damn he’s still beautiful and I can’t wait to see him go completely grey 😍❤️

[@eddajokie4115]

Nick Hawthorne ...hair colour isn't influenced by the age. You can see very young people with coloured hair because they are grey or white. At the opposite there are adults and old people with their original hair colour. Dave is lucky however...he's beautiful and natural ❤❤❤

[@Sophia26488]

Edda Jokie absolutely. He’s got great genes. But some people age gradually or really quickly. It doesn’t matter. He’s still amazing.

[@eddajokie4115]

Sophia R ...I totally agree with you!!! Dave is the best and he was...is...will be always the best!!!❤

[@mconfive2nine]

Rewatching all these old videos. Damn I feel sad for Dave.

[@godzillapunisher9912]

I'm with Dave on no drugs

[@tamadrummer1nz]

He still drinks and smokes weed

[@nightshade-o7g]

No hard drugs, that's for sure.

[@minedphreak8487]

I love how his first platinum record was presented to his mom kinda like saying "you are the reason I am here so this is just as much yours as mine".

[@MistermookS]

Yep! Been listening to foo fighters since the first album. that album made me move on from nirvana. I was 15 years old, now im about to be 41. how time flies.

[@tarkovtxusa6626]

To describe Dave Grohl as an inspiration is an understatement. He's persevered, and it seems for the right reasons. He also brought a lot of people up with him.

[@stevemazz3121]

Dave is proof you don't need the best voice in the room to sing lead in a rock band. Just a true love for making music.

[@alejandrobrenes6101]

Past October 4th, 2019 I had the chance to see them live for the first time in my life, in first line and in my country, Costa Rica. Past October 4th, 2019 my life changed. Thank you for being so honest and passionate with your music.

[@nicotopcat1188]

Dave Grohl emerged from the depression due to Kurt Cobain's suicide even stronger than he was before it. He is indestructible now...

[@camdavis9945]

Gotta love Dave. The fact that he made it through all of the excess of the 90s and the many deaths that Seattle suffered is very inspiring.

[@mirandajohnson8299]

Dave is such an incredible artist . This interview reminds me of why I’ve always loved these guys so much . Hang in there FF ! Rest easy Taylor !

[@antikoerper256]

Shoutout to Grohl for keeping it real and staying true to himself so many years after what happened Not only that, he evolved and created an amazing band and songs

[@user-hy3kv2tm2w]

“i love music and i love life” i can relate to that

[@ExplodingWalkie-talkie]

it must suck to have to talk about Kurt EVERYTIME but Dave's humility can handle it

[@1oolabob]

"I love music. I love life." Me too, Dave.

[@raoulgalavis6755]

The whole world is going to mourn when dave is gone. he’s such a badass dude and such a talented musician

[@clarah]

Anyone else watching this is in 2022 and crying? 😭

[@christostsioridis8587]

"But I love music... and I love life!" Ok.... seriously, goosebumps all over my body!

[@MaxMarriner]

5:23 To know that Dave's just started another megaton grief cycle makes this remark extra hard to hear :(

[@elsabean6791]

I never appreciated the Foo Fighters’ music until I got older. I was a teen in the 90s and I guess I was accustomed to all the dark and heavy rock that was so prevalent then, and then here comes Dave with his beautiful view from the other side and I don’t think I knew how to take it at the time. But as the years have passed, those other bands have mostly disappeared, the singers are dead, and I still love that music, but I hear the FF now and it just makes me smile. Dave was what we all needed at the time, whether we knew it or not, as we were becoming adults and still needed music to enrich our lives. I’m so grateful that he never gave up and blessed us with his gifts all these years.

[@IOxyrinchus]

Dave Grohl is pretty much my idol. He’s possibly the most awesome dude ever. I mean, I love nirvana, but Foo Fighters are... *brain explodes from sheer awesomeness*

[@nickfanzo]

Back Country Pastimes imo nirvana is better but ok
