Dave Grohl: confessions of a Foo Fighting man | British GQ

[@MyEmoDiaries]

Dave is one the few rock musicians who aged really well. Dude seems to be getting hotter lol

[@latsnojokelee6434]

It's like he's finally grown into his face or a grown into those teeth? Because he looked kind of goofy in his 20s but he does look very good now .

[@pamwilliams9458]

I Agree👍👍👍

I could watch Dave Grohl interviews all day. He's such a down-to-earth guy.

[@MrMastrsushi]

IllPropaganda Like how you could watch ASHLEY ALL DAY?!! What's up Bro, haven't seen you in years. It's so weird seeing you here. I used to be one of those ashley losers (meplayvgalot or mastrsushi), but then again, I guess we all were....

same, that's what I'm doing now :D

[@urb8na]

Me too..

[@joycekelly1516]

Sometimes I do! ♥️

[@kathrineckardt2869]

yes except he likes a private plane

[@mikeobrien6704]

Dave's transformation from introverted in Nirvana to extroverted as front man of the Foos is incredible. And I mean in interviews. If you watch old Nirvana interviews he rarely speaks. Krist always lead the interviews.

[@OpheliaDarkling]

I think he always had it in him. Sadly, tragedy can become a significant motivator in ones life. I hope it remains true in the wake of yet another tragic loss in his life. Dave's kind of a beacon of hope to me out of dark times.

[@mountcomfort740]

One of the coolest guys in rock and roll today

[@Spice99857]

He was quieter back then, but I wouldn't have called him shy back then either.

[@blackbird5634]

These guys are the only reliable weapon we have against 'Foo' in the known universe.

[@lucasharris4209]

I haven't seen a Foo, so i trust they're good at their job

[@surfpsych]

@@Darkblade0926 Keaton always said, “I don’t believe in God, but I’m afraid of him.” Well, I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is a foo.

[@SonikJesus]

They can’t be that good. I mean, there’s a ton of foos here in Los Angeles, where the Foo fighters are from.

[@brokeatoehorsebackridingon7478]

Have watched many Dave interviews and this guy asked the most interesting questions that I have heard. It allowed us to get an insight into all things Dave.

[@scottonandrew]

I've been watching a bunch of Kurt Cobain interviews, and what strikes me about Dave is how warm, happy and personable he is. What a guy, what a musician!

[@lengillies7264]

“When’s the last time you got arrested” Dave: Not that long ago, 2002. That was 16 years ago. My entire existence ago. Dave, that was quite a while ago.

[@rickrennyoneill]

Aelena Gillies it’s all relative. I’m basically mid way between you and Dave (32) and 2002 was the first time I saw the foos. In a way it seems like a long time ago, a lot has happened in my life since then, but in another way it seems like no time at all. Life goes fast, enjoy it!

[@rpy6933]

[@kristinupman8798]

Dave is just life. He’s so smooth and chill. What an honor it would be to meet him!

[@miquel3657]

Given the times we are in, I find very honest of the interviewer to ask a question about Nirvana that actually allows Dave to demistify Nirvana's modern conception. It's been almost 25 years of questions that have only had the goal to feed the myth and make people believe that Nirvana was just about doing drugs and thinking about suicide. That's why everyone who's not into that sort of music remembers Nirvana as the band of the guy who shot himself, rather than remembering them for their music, their energy, their political ideas, their funny but interesting interviews...

[@markkiefer1733]

Laughed way too hard at "Anna 1, Anna 2"

Isn’t Dave just the coolest dad you never had. Xx

[@jayannakelley9051]

Dave & Taylor’s excitement when Page & Jonesy came out & did 2 songs with the Foo’s was everything 🌟 (in ‘07)

[@mamat8184]

Dave can watch Noel interviews all day, while I watch Dave interviews all day. Thanks GQ.

[@denisefreitas6727]

Dave is amazing, i could hear him talking forever! Can't imagine the pain he's feeling now with the death of Taylor.

Dave should be in the thumbnail

[@TheRitchieTV]

Dave seems like such a laid back-cool kinda guy!

[@TobleroneCraft]

Dave Grohl, a drummer almost drowned surfing. Carl Wilson, a drummer, drowned while surfing. Drummers need to stay off boards in the water.

[@bencummings5304]

Dennis Wilson.

[@bencummings5304]

Seriously you should change this.

Rivers going surfing

Dennis Wilson wasn't surfing when he drowned

[@Big_C_4205]

And maybe stay on pedal boards? Heheheheheheh.

Give yourself some credit, Dave. You've never ordered drone strikes on anyone.

The thumbnail is the interviewer not dave. You guys should fix that.

I wish Virginia was part of my up bringing. What a mom! I’m sure that’s why David is one of the world’s best Daddy. I actually hope he has more kids.

Simon Davis Thank you.

[@planetrob555]

It's the jeans he named in the interview.

[@TriceyDiva]

Daniel Peers they be so tight on him they don’t really look comfortable

[@bhound12]

Might as well have had Dave just read the questions off of a teleprompter...the interviewer doesn't engage him at all. He responds with "cool" to all of his answers, and then proceeds down his list of questions like he's checking off a grocery list.

[@redbandmedia79]

I think he did pretty well. Obviously just a bit nervous but he didn't strictly stick to just the written questions. I'd be nervous too no doubt!

[@mayemcdonald9111]

I liked it that he let him talk at leisure!

[@imnotevenusin473]

The interviewer was good.

[@jcdenton4911]

Agreed. Dave was the one in control in this. He might have well have said "Next" when he was done with his answer. There was no expansion on any of the answers aside from a small obvious comment with a chuckle, and then "...cool..." with an awkward pause, followed by "...ummm..." followed by a search down his list for the next question. It was awful :)

[@imnotadj8897]

does anyone else think the interviewer is the doppelganger of jeremy jahns the movie reviewer from KZbin ?

[@atrianalendraauditya2650]

Chum Perez yeah bro

Interesting decision to make the doof asking questions the thumbnail instead of Grohl.

These questions are just, like, FAQs from Reddit AMAs. I'm waiting for him to ask Dave if he'd rather fight 1 horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses...

Most of the questions were so boring and dumb. But Dave makes everything funny and interesting.

If Nirvana had gotten these questions, Kurt would’ve just gotten exasperated and Krist would’ve answered them all very flippantly. It would’ve been funny, though. But too bad for the interviewer.
