Dave Grohl: In His Own Words | MTV News

Dave Grohl in the 90's: "I just play drums..." Dave Grohl in 2020: "I'M GONNA SAVE THE WORLD WITH ROCK AND ROLL! LOVE AND POSITIVITY FOR EVERYBODY!"

[@humgap]

Being a celebrity made him a little obnoxious.

[@parkerscottmusic]

dave grohl doesnt even look like dave grohl half the time

[@xpkareem]

I know right? He looks like about 10 different people.

[@awill891]

I thought it was only me who thought that. I was 11 in 2000 when I saw Foo Fighters on TV so that's the Dave Grohl I knew (short hair and sideburns). Then in 2002 I got really into Nirvana and to me it was like 2 separate people. I never thought about the drummer from Nirvana when I listened to Foo Fighters and never thought of Foo Fighters when I listened to Nirvana. He just looked so different, to me he looked younger in 2000 than in 1991! Now the modern bearded long hair Dave is kind of like a mix between 1991 and 2005 Dave.

[@waveypizza]

I agree. I've noticed this too on my own, we're definitely not looking at one person. I'd venture to say there are at least 2. The guy at 6:32 is not close to earlier Dave, whether it was one or more guys. He has less pronounced features, and I think the facial hair is a way of disguising. But the nose, eye and teeth differences jump out at me. I'd say in 2002/03 the new guy was introduced, whether or not there were more than one before that is hard to know.

[@jiyu9277]

@@waveypizza nobody in this comment section actually believes they are different people lmao They’re just pointing out his different hairstyles and looks. You sound crazy

@@jiyu9277 They're vocalizing what their eyes are telling them. I'm just telling the truth. Once you see it you can't unsee it. Once you learn the truth about the Beatles (and other bands) your brain contents will no longer fit correctly in your skull.

Dave literally reinvented himself from just a drummer. So much so it makes me wonder what happened? Like he got a 2nd chance or something.

[@daveg4236]

He always played guitar, sang and wrote songs. He just made his bones as a drummer

[@josepk5986]

Dave as a guy from Nirvana is my favorite Dave - quite simple but beast on the drums

[@DavidOsornoL]

He says he just never really felt like sharing much of his stuff with Kurt so he stuck to the drums and kept quiet. He showed a couple of songs he wrote to Kurt and Kurt liked them but Dave thinks Kurt didn't fully like them and was a bit scared to say he wanted to change something about the lyrics.

[@awesomedave8484]

@@DavidOsornoL pretty funny that I heard Kurt didn't really like writing the lyrics and people took them too literal when he came up with them. The answer to that problem with right behind him and can't help but wonder what would have been in music now if they combined Daves full musical ability with Kurts left handed out of the box thinking.

[@absenceovmeasurablefrequen1709]

Dave is a humble, kind and totally grounded dude despite the massive success of Nirvana and his own band. And while I wasnt a fan of any of the Foo Fighters' albums released after the first one... Dave's voice is iconic, unmistakable, powerful, raw, and often quite beautiful; and without question, his drumming is just as equally impressive and iconic. He's an absolute legend within the realm of rock music, and he'll certainly remain a powerful influence and source of inspiration for many future artists. Respect.
