Virginia & Dave Grohl | From Cradle to Stage

[@PurpleResey]

Rest in peace, sweet Virginia. You were an amazing woman and a rock star all on your own.

[@andrewfellerman]

Dave Grohl is, in my opinion, the best Public Relations/Front Man in the world, ever. From bringing young fans from the audience up on stage before massive crowds to play guitar with the band, and then signing one of his guitars and giving it to them, to making a documentary about a dive recording studio where some of the most iconic music recordings ever recorded, and then buying the Neve console and moving it to his house, to bringing his mom on tour with the Foo Fighters. And now this heartwarming video from an international book tour for the book his mom wrote where she interviews the mothers of music stars from many genres. Genius.

[@Silvana716]

How lucky these two are to have each other. When you have a great mom like that, the universe is possible.

[@PaulLundgren1970]

I always thought I wanted to be Dave Grohl's friend. Now I want to be his mom's friend.

[@kjwwolf2011]

This was one of the most fun evenings I've ever had. Both Dave and Mrs. Grohl are the most down-to-earth, genuine and funny people I've ever had the pleasure of listening to -- their storytelling skills are bar none. There was no pretense and you could clearly see where Dave gets his work ethic, his values, his sense of family and certainly his sense of humor. They are wonderful together -- you can see and feel the love between them. I'll cherish this hour with them for a very long time!!! I would dare say not much will happen to top the time that I spent with these two very special people! Thank you to Strand for hosting this event. I'm obviously a huge Foo Fighters fan and this just added to the love I feel for the band, their families and their fans!!!

[@taraschuneman9212]

kjwwolf2011 And how do we become best friends??? 😂 From one Foo fan to another.....SO COMPLETELY JEALOUS, but SO appreciate your sharing your experience!!! Love that you have first hand, up close and personal proof that Dave is as AMAZING as they say.... but, we already knew that!! There is no doubt in my mind that Virginia, is equally amazing!! I hope she gives herself props everyday for all she instilled in Dave, making him the man he is today!!!! Love it!!! You know you're a Foo Fighters Fan when....You are the same age as Dave, but burst into tears like a teenager when you see them in concert!! Proud of it!😎

[@kjwwolf2011]

How sweet of you. It truly was an awesome evening; much more so than I ever could have imagined. I'm still buzzing from the experience and I have more than enough videos/pictures to look back upon should I ever forget a single second of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you very much for your kind words.

[@conniewatt4704]

Have always loved the relationship they have. Now it's April 6th 2022. 😥 Still in shock. I'm glad he has such a supportive mother he really need now. And wife & children. So sorry for Taylor's wife, kids, family , longtime band family, millions of fans. And all musicians across the globe. 😥✌

[@cindywelch2108]

She's lovely and why David is as sweet as he is.

[@chammiequeen7838]

I love how much she delights him.

[@sturgisbaby9050]

I loved this. I found myself laughing & crying throughout this whole video. Virginia Grohl is awesome. Its clear that the "Apple didn't fall far from the tree"!

[@sophiar9419]

My best friend was at this. The pictures she took of them were lovely. Such a great insight into the parents and their lives. Absolutely adore Dave and his mum.

[@ryantroiano2463]

This should have A LOT more views! Dave is the fucking man.

[@onemuckypup9823]

What a mum - she is the best! It's no surprise that Dave has turned out to be the most down to earth bloke around! Dave is a lucky guy.

[@carriemel1]

This was an amazing experience. I was there and could have listened to them for at least another hour or two. They are great storytellers.

[@traceyyeoman8391]

God I wish she had come on a show when I was twelve and every year after that.God I must read this book ,

[@morphman21]

I love when he puts the mic in his mom's face and everyone laughs. Lol

[@michelemoneywell8765]

Gotta love David Grohl ❤️. Thank you to his Mom for doing such a great job raising him. She's awesome too. 💝

[@gulcint3050]

such a lovely, sweet woman, and she raised a great kid :)

[@watersfan]

My face is hurting from all the smiling I did throughout this.

[@gpeddino]

I believe the Michael Stipe song she mentioned at 16:02 is “Untitled”, from REM’s “Green”: "This world is big and so-awake I stayed up late to hear your voice This light is here to keep you warm This song is here to keep you strong I made a list of things to say But all I really want to say All I really want to say is Hold her and keep him strong While I'm away from here Hold her and keep her strong While I'm away from here I've seen the world and so-awake And stay up late to hear me sing Just hold her I've seen the world and so-awake And stay up late to hear me sing Just hold him Hold her and keep her strong While I'm away from here Hold him and keep him strong While I'm away from here"

[@ktk9051]

What a great interview, what a beautiful relationship Dave and Virginia have. I’ve been fortunate enough to have read both of their books. They both have a gift for sharing. Virgina mentioned about how our school system doesn’t work well with these talented up and coming musicians, really it isn’t working for many individuals. Sadly, caring, hard working teachers and staff have unrealistic restrictions with such limited resources. Thanks for sharing!! KTK

[@michaelhowardrosskrh74]

Daves So lucky to have one of the good ones. Moms.

[@ElfSixDave]

I've loved Dave for many years, seen him live 3 times, and now I love his mum too. Fantastic video, extremely funny as well. Better go and buy the book now then...

[@SamanthaLaPorta]

Love this so much My parents for years were my roadies, my mom even ran my sound. Thank you so much for sharing your stories ❤❤❤

[@jamesmiddleton8335]

and it's 4 o clock in the morning again, dave has ruined my sleep for another night!

[@kjbaker8532]

What an awesome mom?!,,,(No offense to my own, kick-ass mother...:)thanks, guys. .. --It is..."nice when things are nice". xox

[@lauriehere6408]

Omg, me too🤣🤣

[@Bears69]

Now in my 50s I wish that I could have such a great family relationship. If you do, never take it for granted.

[@camo_fisherman]

Amen, my friend, Amen.

[@gayledon]

I love this playlist. Thank you for putting it all together in one place so I'm not constantly searching.

[@genewest8426]

What an amazing Mom!!!

[@rhondaharrison2764]

I could have watched another hour of that!!

[@nexussever]

How inspiring on so many levels.

[@alisabell6801]

I was so inspired by this, thankyou, thankyou. I am the single mother of a creative aspiring to make it in the music industry (@Acer Spade) and also another child who found his passion very early in life (racing cars). Dave and Mrs Grohl have; in such a fun way; imparted, what seems to be the shared experience of the parent of a creative. Amazing the similarities that run through so many creatives journeys. It is a mine field fraught with raised eyebrows from others on your decisions as parent on supporting your children to become the best version of themselves. This is validating. In awe from Oz

[@annabellelee180]

These two are delightful. Just what I needed today :) And KZbin needs a Love button.

[@gailreese4102]

Thank you, so much, for sharing this! Absolutely love it!

[@czuprynn7]

This is really beautiful to have such a relationship with your mother, it seems she was really great person, it must be really hard loosing a mom which was a also a great support and friend

[@maeverlylilith9295]

Just saw this. I will gladly vote for either of y'all❣❣❣

[@rockmoussealt7764]

Delightful interview, long live the Grohls.

[@KarlaElaine100]

Oh wow! The Three Bells were amazing! Beautiful harmonies! My mom listened…so I remember it fondly!

[@lauriehere6408]

My son is a musician and I can completely relate, ty!

[@lorihalben4459]

Love this!!! Wonderful story

[@luurchify]

Rest In Peace Virginia ❤️

[@susanb1394]

Wonderful video!!!

[@SandraNelson063]

My mother was a teacher for decades. And it drove her to curses , how badly bright or gifted children were treated by the school boards she worked for. She ended up as a teacher for bright and gifted kids for the last few years of her LONG career, because she HAD to. She FOUGHT for those kids! A lot of the brightest kids ended up as drop outs, because they just couldn't cope with the too rigid structure that the curriculum demanded. The over all catering to the "average', with NO room for the struggling, or advanced. These kids have lives of endless frustration, unless they can find a teacher ir school system that allows them to FLY.

[@richardwintle1020]

35:08 If anyone's wondering, the Quality Inn Breeze Manor is still there, so you can add it to your next Foo Fighters nostalgia road trip. :)

[@cwdthekid]

Mom’s ROCK!!!!! FF and DG and VIOLET rooooooooooOOOOOOOCK!!!! Thank you! FOR BEING SO REAL!!!!

[@catlady1084]

What a sweet lady. He must miss her terribly.

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

💛💛💛💛💛 It doesn't matter how old you are or how famous you get, guys love to hear their mama's talk about them and tell happy stories and memories lol. Just look at Dave's face when his mother is talking about him. My sons do the same thing. They love hearing me talk about silly childhood memories😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@PaulieWasHere7]

Must get this book.

[@candacerye8188]

I love Dave Grohl !!!

[@kevinking2468]

Really enjoyed this - Take note all you parents!

[@MsDebraRyan]

Awesome Mrs G

[@juliebeale2521]

[@itmatters107]

what a fun and interesting video

[@leenahusa1806]

Ok im not only a Dave Grohl fan, but also a Mama Grohl fan now as well!

[@debz1795]

Awesome! Moms will be moms.

[@bjornleifeld9023]

Hi to every mom which is still alive. I know my mom is proud of me even though she is Not longer among us. I dont care couse i know everything is happening at the same time. Succes and fame doesnt mean anything. At last we are all im the same spot

[@allymayful]

The Cinderella Rocadella song was a big hit in the 60s by a French husband and wife duo.

[@QueenFanka]

super filmik, kocham słuchać jego historie

[@barrengod2322]

Virginia should definitely write a Foo Fighters song!!! It would be a killer hit!!!!!

[@BoudiccaPLG]

Great, fantastic, amazing woman and mother. Without her I have to wonder where he would be. He probably does too.

[@sundaygurrrl]

It is so bloody typical. They pull the money from the Arts EVERY time EVERY where, and there are so many young people who, like Dave, don't "fit' into the 'norm', so what do they do? Thankfully there are great teachers out there who will never give up on speaking out against this to local governments. But, geez, it needs to change. Artistic Creativity is tome of he most important qualities humans have. The ability to inspire others through an idea, a song, through their art. Great interview Dave and Virginia Grohl, Thank you a thousand times.

[@debbiesims138]

That 2nd song she sang was a campaign song for Nelson Rockefeller.

[@RogerBarraud]

08:40 Cinderella Rockefeller ... Yup, i remember that one, from the 70's IIRC. :-) I forget who did it though.

[@אביטלגונן]

Avi & Ester Ofarim!

[@kymduncan5292]

I'm always interested in how they share their fame money and take care of their families but no one speaks of that.

[@thekitowl]

Boy, Dave needs him Mum now Taylor’s gone.

I really wish my parent would have been more supportive when it came to music when I was a kid. But no, it was "go get a job in some shitty factory and live a life you'll hate!"

[@lauriehere6408]

Never too late!

[@ryandeanlindgren9054]

cool

[@BoudiccaPLG]

My daughter went to Europe and went through exactly what his Mum did every time she entered a country, and in France it was when she was leaving and it was really nasty how they treated her. My daughter has pale blue eyes and curly hair and the prettiest little thing. She wondered if there was a terrorist out there that looked just like her. To get out of Framce she had to get a friend who was waiting for her in England to sort them out.????
