Dave Grohl and his mother talk new book about raising rock stars

[@danielglassphotography2814]

"Mrs. Grohl" was my 10th grade teacher in 1978/79. Dave is correct, she was pretty cool and I enjoyed her English class. I have fond memories of her sharing stories about her drummer son.

[@that.one.orchid]

Dang that'd be cool to have his teacher before Dave's rise famewise

[@dianam9028]

oh wow!

[@basilrose]

having at least one supportive parent makes all the difference in a creative child's life!

[@MissZiss]

Tommy Lee often talks about how cool and supportive his parents were.. from early on

[@barbaralemere5183]

Dave Grohl! And his mom! Dave is the most normal rock star ever. Love him!

[@travvypoo]

Barbara LeMere Dave is so mentally stable. He doesn't fit the typical rock star mold, yet he's a bona-fide rockstar.

[@iriedee4047]

what's normal? A setting on a washing machine?

[@bernlin2000]

You could kinda tell, early on, that it requires a pretty good human being to shape someone like Dave. Now we get to see her, and she's just great :-) very laid back, and very open about letting her son find himself without too much pressure. Many teachers have a tendency to control and try to "maintain" children...Dave's mom is not your typical teacher, or mother, either. Great stuff.

[@iriedee4047]

I hope this is true

[@Moonmaedyn]

The fact that he BLUSHES whenever she says anything about him--especially the part where she says she has a photograph of herself and her "three favorite men...President Obama, Paul McCartney, and my SON!" Oh my. Seriously. Oh MY. ♥

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

RIP to this amazing woman

[@pamrush5078]

Rest in Peace Virginia Dave be strong

[@travvypoo]

Dave is such a real and intelligent and talented mf'er. So much love and respect for him.

[@Alyssav90]

I love Dave. He's so humble. :)

[@hector_nimrod]

You can see how good she was as a mom seing how good Dave is to the people, even him being a huge celebrity that he is. She will be dearly missed

[@lalap6706]

Dave you rock! Mommy love is the best. Such a supportive and sweet mother. We can see were his personality comes from💕

[@CumpasFilms]

she is so cute

[@onelife7247]

What a wonderful mother 😊🤧

[@shannongreer6194]

How awesome!!!! Had not seen this yet! His mom HAS to be a role model to raise an incredible man like Dave!!! I wish I could meet her!

[@SamueleNetwork]

Rest in peace Virginia.

[@britturk123]

Respect to Dave for being by his mums side I think he did quite a few of these gigs promoting the book, he is always so busy.

[@pamrush5078]

Dave is so awesome and so is his mom

[@MichelleseaChelle]

Just the thought of Dave being an accountant had his mom shook. Lol.

[@milenariarr8329]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jody024]

A book i still need to buy.

[@bennett1671]

i wish my mom was like this my band was ab to go tour europe just like 10 small shows but it meant the world to us and she told me i couldnt go and that school is more importamt so my band found a new drummer snd went on the tour without me

[@TheYaspar]

dude...that sucks. will you rejoin to your former band?

[@jordan_stroup7188]

GrandpaDrumming Dude sorry

[@tomrose6395]

unlucky mate

[@loveharrydaily]

GrandpaDrumming I would've went anyway. Sitting in a classroom and doing rote memorization isn't always more important than experiencing the world in a new way.

[@finaldrumer]

Dude, same thing here. Mine wasn’t a tour through Europe but a show in another region in the country I live in. She never encouraged music. Quite the opposite really. Now I’m a psychologist. Go figure.

[@garrieleepeck8753]

A proper mum I wish I had that !!!!

[@megana9793]

Can’t wait for the book

[@BA-ev4cq]

Just went to two Foo concerts Seattle on the first Portland on the tenth. If I could say one thing to the band I would just say thank-you😊

[@khm2917]

I just love Dave Grohl Like if you really really love him

[@dianam9028]

RIP Virginia Grohl 🥀

[@CassieSnowLV]

The way she said “write this down” haha

[@jamesmiddleton8335]

I currently go to music school, but if i got some success on some of my music i would drop out in a heartbeat

[@Thesis_Drums]

RIP

[@N5KDA]

When you plat music you listen to it MUCH differently than someone that does not.

[@kingkasama376]

KZbin should have a love button here.

[@MyMy-nu9ul]

the closing plug... nevertheless This Little Light of Mine I'm going to let it shine .. keep that in mind💋

[@milenariarr8329]

6:30 ❤️🤗🍷

[@Jane-ot6og]

Dave Grohl's look when they asked his mom what she listens to every morning. hahahahahaha

[@zimzimzalabim]

so Carly's You're So Vain is indirectly responsible for Dave's career, and to a further degree, the existence of Nirvana?

[@FooFightersBootlegs]

I mean.. Dave's career had nothing to do with the existence of Nirvana. Maybe their popularity sure but they existed before he joined the band

[@ktplat]

❤❤

[@WileECoyotey]

Coolest rock star ever

[@britturk123]

She definitely has a touch of serious about her though which comes with her teaching profession, no way on God's earth did or would Dave purposely disrespect his mum .

[@jorgegallardo9501]

dauntless

[@xaviermiddlefinger3370]

ROCKSTAR = DAVE GROHL

[@darry.4387]

Sweet video he is a kind peeson im sure

[@olas591]

what happened with his father?

[@Treme1Sakbam]

olas591 his parents got divorce when he was 7. He grew up with his mother. His father passed away in 2014. They had good relationship though.

[@britturk123]

Dad was very conservative but realized soon enough that his son was actually a musical genius.

[@thomthom6268]

For goodness sakes, though not rock, Amy and Josh were/are A-list musicians. Dave also. And just look at how Dave looks at his mom with love and pride.

[@APPL3SL1CES]

What happened to his dad

[@misspinkyearsaj8853]

how old is dave here? 50 odd?

[@jenniferwebb5954]

Amy winehouses mother did NOT raise a rock star.

[@joycegibbs5267]

she reminds me of Angela Merkel. You can see why Dave turned out so well, lovely lady, beautiful voice too.

[@kalevala29]

the hosts are so clueless

[@thomaskeener2531]

rehehehehehhehehehe

[@suzanneoleary4701]

Um….. sorry to blow up your Phone.

[@suzanneoleary4701]

You remind me so much of baxter di fabrizio

[@lovemelmel]

Everything has to become a book?

[@avolite719]

Amy Winehouse was NOT a "rock star" .....

[@tompetters3328]

Dave grohl is 🤮

[@elizabethhoover4672]

You are not Tom Petters

[@BrandonDeft]

lost a lot of respect for them...Obama? really?

[@ianw8479]

Brandon D you poor man

[@BrandonDeft]

ukelele 8 Sorry I hate communist/liberals and from history you should as well. You poor boy, your a blind follower.

[@ianw8479]

Brandon D for what keeping my politics and music choices separate? I ain't blind at all man I'm allowed to like someone as a person and as an artist without agreeing with them politically

[@90beastmaster]

As much as I too don't like Obama. Politics shouldn't be what determines who or what we like. To a certain degree anyways.

[@Drenwickification]

Lol it's much better than being a fan of trump. And btw, the vast majority of musicians are liberals. You'll find very very few that support trump... so if you decide on which musicians you like based on their political views youre going to have very little music to listen to

[@Mathinios]

Rest in peace Virginia.

[@megana9793]

Can’t wait for the book
