this is hilarious.....i met dave and violet once at a farmers market (cat adoptions) what a stunning child and a sweet down to earth guy...i did notice the amazing and inspired parenting skills he had and what a loving person he came across as..especially after they fell in love with the kitten i had been fostering but could not take her due to his wifes allergies...the explanation to his daughter was precious.

[@CLA82529]

Wow, wish i was there to see what it's like. Must have been wonderful

[@Thetrickman90]

kitten and dave grohl? it's one of my life dreams, pretty gay tho....BUT STILL A DREAM

[@johnrayordas]

Pandora Heart How lucky you are

[@QuirkyGirl10]

@@Thetrickman90what does loving kittens have anything to do with being gay? I’ve known straight guys who love cats.

[@jenniferwilcox9759]

Oh Dave! RAP IS NOT MUSIC! It can be considered some kind of artistic expression but music it is not.

[@TheColourflies]

Wrong

[@v6danny]

Most brain dead opinion

[@245sleepwalking]

listen to some 90s hip hop and it'll change your mind. like 2Pac

[@seanpayne2470]

i’ve never heard a more wrong opinion on music. you can’t listen to nas and says it’s not music. it’s more technical and deeper than you can even think jennifer

[@b_ryce814]

All music is music. People can listen to Nirvana and Foo Fighters and still appreciate rap music. A lot of rappers actually take inspiration from Cobain and other rock legends as well.

[@Ichiboy900]

"Are you kidding, Dad? This is going to last forever!" *hears shotgun go off*

[@geronimo546]

lmao you made my day

[@illyannadehaan]

TimmiT oh god..

[@Mrmyagi132]

TimmiT too soon

[@tengkuadam1399]

TimmiT "I'm an avid fan of nirvana but this is funny."

[@ericynot]

Is it possible not to like Dave Grohl? I don't think so. He's talented, funny, articulate, self-assured without seeming cocky, and obviously a pretty nice guy. He's someone you'd like to have as a brother.

[@elvis316]

He does seem like a nice guy. Look up what Gwar has to say about him though. Not as nice lmao.

[@serena.mirandola]

R.I.P. to Dave's father ( and thank you for his talented son) and WELCOME to his little baby:)

[@petesantulli4866]

Is there a better spokesman for Rock n Roll. I don't think so. All hail DG

[@alexferus1462]

I think the better spokesmen for rock n roll would be dio (r.i.p. he was a great spokesman for rock and metal music )I know he's dead now ! but he was a brilliant heavy metal singer! the best one ,and the guitarist he would chose were always very talented same with the drummers

[@AngelLopez-bw6ci]

I realize i love this men...

[@MasterofPuberty]

Leonard Bernstein (Candide), Neil Young, Slayer, and the Beatles. This is a party.

[@l1mewaxer]

Holy shit, that Dad's foreshadowing.

[@prisonerofrnr]

its hard as a parent, I really dont want my daughters to listen to any of the soulless chart music but you have to allow them to make their own choice.I just play what I consider 'good music' in my house and hope some of it seeps in.

[@avedic]

:P Shitty music has *_always_* existed. There were *_plenty_* of shitty manufactured corporate bands in the 60s & 70s. And...there's *_TONS_* of amazing contemporary music you're just not aware of. To name a few: *Yeasayer, Animal Collective, MGMT, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MIA, The White Stripes, The Kills, Santigold, Peaches, Friendly Fires, St. Vincent, Tool, The Ruby Suns, The Dissociatives.*

[@prisonerofrnr]

i never said good music is no longer being made, I was pointing to the more contrived chart music and I agree there have always been been manufactured bands It is called the music 'business' after all. thanks for your comment.

[@FlagstonePictures]

avedic Thank you for putting Tool in that list. They are amazing beyond anything in mainstream music today and I can't wait for their new yet-to-be-titled album.

[@TheTechnoKitteh]

avedic Tool is amazing. So is white stripes.

[@notmedude]

Interesting thing to me is that David Letterman considers Dave Grohl as his close friend however he doesn´t know that he has 3 daughters...I know every shit about Dave Grohl, but I guess its just my stalking...man I am hammered

[@avedic]

lol...

[@MarthaLemondick]

Cool story! One more time please.

[@violentnewstead2152]

Martha Lemondick I can't stop reading it. I don't know if it's night or day.

[@Treloars17]

He's a talk show host he has to ask questions, did you think maybe he already knows the answer?

[@kathyvalentine1212]

Have not loved an entire group this much since I fell in love with Led Zeppelin in 1971.. LOVE THESE GUYS!

[@KurtMurphyMusic]

He does a pretty amazing job of holding it together talking about his father, when he had just died a few months earlier.. 5 days after the birth of their youngest girl!

[@BardiaSaeedi]

Great interview.

[@VanisleGirl1961]

Dave has always had epic taste in musical guests,and I love Dave Grohl,love Foo Fighters. This was great to see.

[@VampireBobbette]

I love this. I'm 14 and my dad got me into the Foo Fighters a couple of years ago, so I guess your parents do influence your taste in music.

[@sabuomarrr1]

his wife downloaded the song rehab illegally hahaha nice.. keep music free keep rocking

[@ahspire3178]

Kevin Sakovich Shining White Knight of the Internet

[@waverhehe]

you can pay for a song and download it, itunes etc

[@milenariarr8329]

Pobre, no le alcanza con lo que le dá Dave Grohl.

[@GigiBellia]

dave's answers in these kinds of interviews are always so loaded Must be exhausting

[@sunshinewater4659]

Dave is an awesome musician and very humble...love how he tells a story...

[@cleysoncunha]

when nirvana became popular "you know that's not gonna last" lmfao dave's dad is so like mine

[@mertbalbal4624]

2:37 That stare is amazing :D

[@kickhuggy]

I wasn't sure how the crowd would react to his dad's input on nirvana. But I didn't know about his father, makes sense as to why he's mastered so many instruments

[@carRmaRicaRbaTa]

Lol, hope my son's musical taste would be like mine..

[@MGSfanlan]

or daughter?

[@carRmaRicaRbaTa]

FAC​ well I wish I had a daughter

[@MGSfanlan]

Oh I thought you meant if you were to have one, but you already do, sorry for the misunderstanding.

[@MGSfanlan]

A kid I mean

[@carRmaRicaRbaTa]

FAC​ Lol is my English bad? I know sometimes it is 😄

[@saintjimmyjoe]

i really fucking love how dave is matured now

[@SlyRyFry]

The foo fighters have grown so much as a band i have to say i'm a fan now

[@alisondesbiens2662]

Brilliant

[@EpicDoesStuff0]

I'm shocked there's no nirvana related comments

[@booke999]

Now there is one

[@Goooodawgs561]

YOU BLEW IT! Hahahaha.

[@AimonQazi123456789]

You know, you're right.... There

[@LukeJF89]

HaileyDoesStuff Why should there be a Nirvana related comment on this video?

[@Mister006]

Geniuses. The IQ on that stage is like 160+

[@justinmackay3371]

"this isnt going to last" 20 years later

[@SuperGhost145]

"this isnt going to last" 3 years later the lead singer blows his head off

[@arturosanchez6554]

Not all parents think that way Grohl...I'm not bitching...just stating a fact. Good for you my friend...

[@spartafxrs5]

No gum?

[@milenariarr8329]

Hahahahaha......

[@TheAussieStig30]

I'm lucky. My daughters want to hear 'their favourite song' and it's These Days, so that's cool as shit. They love seeing Daves hair flying around and they swing their hair around too. I'm not cool though, I embarrass them cause I turn my car stereo up and my music is old.

[@pooody]

PLOT TWIST: this is Kurt Cobbain wearing Dave Grohl skin like in that movie Face/Off with Nicolas Cage

[@matibands]

master genio dave.

[@MrsPaul]

I

[@IkechiUkazu]

I see what you did there!

[@deadonarrival909]

Ike Ukazu Did you? I didn't.

[@Idolhands1]

Rehab was a band not a gangster rapper. Danny Boone is the Rehab singer and he is awesome. Keep up the Rock n Roll Mr. Grohl!

[@TheCraftyKitty]

AND he's talking about the SONG, Rehad, by Amy Winehouse.

[@Idolhands1]

Yes he talks about that but then refers to a Gangster Rapper named Rehab. Watch the whole video...

[@Alessia89G]

Oh God I f*ucking love him!

[@yourfashionarchive427]

Rap is really good.

[@XCILE625]

Nothing wrong with old school gangsta rap like Mobb Deep, you just have to be older to appreciate it

[@PanicIzabelle]

His mom was in a singing group in ohio... so she was in glee? xD

[@skuf353]

I wanna meet Dave!! Really interesting personality

[@alexferus1462]

I'm going to listen to heavy metal the rest of my life and tech my kids the same ! I will let them listen to classical as a alternative to metal ,unless I also introduce them to blues but I will also tech them heavy metal roots (hard rock and classical ) I will let them listen to Jimi Hendrix (R.I.P. hard rock's best player)

[@julianuary]

Good on ya, Alex! Great attitude. ;)

[@stephendedalus4122]

I don't know why this bullcrap have so many likes. What if they don't like metal? What if they want to play punk or what if one of them find electronic music interesting? I'm done with these stupid "rock supremacy" brainless who do nothing but complain and brag about how musically smart they are. I love rock and I think some kinda of music are shit, I will introduce my kids to rock and folk records, but if they don't like it I'll don't mind.

[@Waverer]

he kinda reminds me of Louis C.K....anyone?

[@AliceInPantera]

nonnanevrotica Kind of with the facial expressions. Both are hilarious

[@anacpalanca]

pretty awesome

[@saintjimmyjoe]

hahahahah i fucking love you dave

[@Somewondude]

dave grohl's dad killed kurt cobain

[@XxTheManBoyxX]

Ummm... This interview already took place with Chris Hardwick and the Nerdist guys.

[@TheCraftyKitty]

And not everyone likse to watch Chris Hardwick or The Nerdist.

[@rozzie101]

I don't have kids, but when (if) I have a kid.... I'm guessing she or he will not like my taste in music

[@geronimo546]

Yeah dad, it isnt going to last

[@SuHAibLOL]

Man his dad was right...

[@hotrodZack1948]

hes got a sweet gizzard

[@saintjimmyjoe]

GANGSTA RAP

[@GuccioneAle]

What mean ?

[@irada20]

Amy Winehouse! Good choice.

[@liviamaroni8054]

I WISH HE WERE MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MetalheadYA]

Is rap really music?

[@NightTerrorGameplays]

used to be.

[@auchucknorris]

yerp but i feel the producers of the actual songs they rap to deserve a lot more credit than they are getting, not to say more, but at least a mention

[@Goooodawgs561]

Yes.

[@sephysycotic]

dave looks good for a 40s man

[@rockinrolla4137]

cute.

[@PhantomTales]

bet its not that hard to raise a kid when you are a couple hundred million in the bank. FUCK YEA METAL RULES!!

[@limzog9]

Is Dave Grohl going for a role as the evil Sheriff of Nottingham like in Robin Hood? sort of the, Alan Rickman look .

[@mengmengmengmeng4882]

I wonder what his opinion is on "Anaconda"

[@JoeNJ2]

Some music is music,and some is really just noise;

[@saintjimmyjoe]

HAHAHAAHAHAH REHAB

[@TheKillmypet]

Kanye West( a baby ) could take lessons from Dave Grohl (a man).

[@jackwhitestripe14]

wow, kevin smith lost a lot of weight

[@scottm8579]

What happened to his neck? Looks like he almost hung himself.

[@arnielim]

Hes old haha

[@sunepedersen8537]

Downloading music illegally as a millionair musiscian

[@matibands]

MMM mmm.

[@JannekeGoossens]

[@uberguy44]

foo fighters......meh....

[@kianaevans4395]

I'm not gonna allow my kids to listen to music in this generation😂

[@sirgurnsalot4044]

That's kinda mean.

[@kianaevans4395]

but majority of music in this generation suck n is pointless

[@sirgurnsalot4044]

That's the mainstream.

[@avedic]

Kiana Evans :P Shitty music has *_always_* existed. There were *_plenty_* of shitty manufactured corporate bands in the 60s & 70s.

[@moeezS]

Juses Crust avedic Kiana Evans I bet Kiana will show the kids Talking Heads or something from a past generation and make that kid so out of touch! XD www.theonion.com/articles/cool-dad-raising-daughter-on-media-that-will-put-h,26132/

[@brunojudo52]

Yeah my nigga Rappers is the new rockstar baby yes nobody want be a fuck RockStar errbody right now want sell drugs,be gangsta , get money , fuck bitches like this is what government want for Black People,Latins, but White Rich People are doing this , think it's cool!

[@aj2674]

Please get a better bass player Dave. Please. It's missing. We need it.

[@alexferus1462]

I hate modern hip hop thou it lack composition and skill !it auto tuned, its fake !

[@Mogamishu]

People who think Dave Grohl is the world's best drummer deserve more hatred than Justin Bieber fans.

[@lolmomz]

Great dude. Terrible music.

[@MrShadly01]

Why is Dave Grohl such a fame whore? And why do people like the Foo Fighters so much? They are quite literally the most generic, uninspired band in recent memory. I have to laugh at the interview on KZbin where Grohl talks shit about Nickleback...his band is hardly better... /rant
