Going with what Dave said, there is perfection within imperfections. It's the nuances of flaws that make something beautiful.

[@RefinerSimilitude]

Not even Grohl getting Sean wasted and glazy-eyed can stop him from being the best interviewer on the interwebs. Sean's ability to maintain his signature, professional question pitch solidifies him as a stone cold killer in my book.

[@tombreault1096]

Sean is one of a kind. Would love to meet such a person one day. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@michaelsheehan5559]

This was his Michael Jordan Flu Game. Except he ate wings and got hammered with Dave Grohl.

This is the first episode I've ever seen. I dont know this Sean guy at all, but this was enjoyable and the guy clearly is one professional bastard. This was a fun interview but NOT easy and he held the line to the end. Very impressive.

I like how Sean didn't ask about Kurt and Nirvana when he interviewed Dave it must be so tiring for Dave to re-open bad memories about the lost of his friend so good on you Sean

[@nichmiller4251]

Story Time: At a Foo Fighters concert 5ish years ago, my wife and I were stage left about 10 feet from the front. Mid-set, Dave is goin around the stage (without a mic) hyping the crowd and everyone has their hands up except me. Dave looked right at me and his expression of worry was so sincere. Like, the 'hey man, you havin a good time?' was all too clear. Granted, I was smilin and vibin, but I held up my wife's popcorn and water bottle (the two things keeping my hands out of the air) and laughed. Dave points at me, big relief laugh, and keeps on keepin on. Best 10 seconds I've ever had at a concert. The human experience of interacting with a genuinely nice person is unbeatable. Absolutely unparalleled man, band, and concert.

I wonder how Sean feels after having blown up so much. It must be crazy to think that one of the biggest legends in rock history comes home from practice, takes a tablespoon of your hot sauce, and then watches your internet show. Sean Evans is one of the best interviewers I have ever seen

[@daveyfunk]

Wondering how many people are going on a Grohl binge after the tribute concert and stumbled across this. Mr Grohl just gets more likeable with each thing I see and the raw emotion in that concert and how he shines a spotlight on young talent despite him, the band and the family all battling their own personal fights is truly awe inspiring. Sincerely comes across as a genuine and nice guy. RIP Taylor

Well said mate 👍 I met Dave and Taylor in Dublin in 2007, dave said he liked my hat. A few months later I was in LA ans and ran into him outside Amoeba music and after mentioning Dublin he said 'oh you had the cowboy hat!' Really feel for Dave losing Kurt and Taylor. It was very obvious he had a really good relationship with them. He's an incredible musician and from what I can tell from all these interviews, a very decent, likeable and good person.

[@pcorcoran100]

He knew there was no avoiding it, it was gonna happen, he just had to deal with it. So he decided to bring whiskey and coke to do the exact same thing to sean right back.
