DESUS & MERO continue to host their Bodega Boys podcast.

I saw Dave outside of a restaurant one time, chasing his daughter around a fountain, laughing with her, picking her up, and living completely in the moment. Yes, he's a rock god, but it was obvious that before that, he was a great dad. I would love to meet him sometime, but I never considered interrupting him while he was with his family.

[@Admiral_Pumpout]

Well, I hope Dave sees this, I am certain he would appreciate your thoughtfulness at not interrupting his private life. If he does I hope he'll send you a message to say thanks, he is a Good bloke.

Hard not to like a guy that's almost as hot sauce immune as Tommy Chong. HIs Hot Ones episode was great.

[@ginacontreras118]

Him, and Keanu, have always had a special place in my heart. I find it very fitting that they referred to Dave, as Keanu, in the beginning of the video. They are both really good guys with enormous hearts. They're very humble, easy going, kind, and giving men. They both take the time to be there for others, and they try to help people. They do not do it for recognition, or publicity. They truly help out of the goodness of their hearts. Earlier this year, Dave took his smoker to a homeless shelter, and spent over 24 hours cooking, and feeding, everyone. Back in 2018, when California was engulfed in wildfires (yet again) he barbecued for the firefighters. He gave a fan his pair of orthopedic shoes when he saw her on crutches. My favorite Dave moment was when he saw a blind boy at one of his shows. He bought the boy, and the boys dad, on stage and let the boy play on his guitar...I feel the list of good deeds is endless. Keanu Reeves is also an amazing human. He gave his stunt team, from the Matrix, Harleys. He gave Rolex watches to the people he worked with on the set of John Wick. When he heard a crew member, on one of his films, was having money trouble, he gave him a $20,000 Christmas bonus. He regularly rides the subway and will give up his seat to others (elderly, pregnant women, disabled people, etc...). He sat with a homeless man before, and talked with him for hours, because the man just needed someone to talk to. He donated over 70% of hold matrix salary to cancer research. He's done so much more too. Both men have also donated millions upon millions to various charities.

[@direcircumstances]

I think it speaks volumes that Dave has been in the music industry - and in the public eye - for over 30 years and has never had any huge scandals or controversy or bad allegations against him. That kind of impeccable track record can't just be luck and circumstance. I really believe he's a good guy.

[@reasonablefacsimile]

I've heard it said that after shows, when bandmates would go out partying, he would go home to his family. Dude's a class act.

[@robinaddis-vaughn7271]

I'm a massive Foo Fighter fan aka Dave Grohl fan. So, when I can't sleep, I'll just pop down the KZbin rabbit hole. I know that I can't watch a concert because there's no way in hell that I'll even get a nap. But, I love to watch interviews, biographies, and historical shit. The one consistent thing that I've heard about Dave is that he's the nicest guy in rock and roll. Over and over and over again, I've even looked for bad things that Dave has ever done and you get NOTHING! The only thing that I hope and pray for, is that if he still smokes cigarettes, please stop. I don't want anything to happen to him or anyone in the band, especially if it's something that he can control. Just listen to Jon Bon Jovi, whether you're a fan or not, listen to him a few years ago and listen to him today. I know he had surgery on his throat, not sure why, nodules maybe, but smoking for years didn't help.

So, yeah, there's a pretty large contingent of musicians who don't have anything nice to say about Dave Grohl.

His greatness is something everyone can aspire to because rather than seeing his own greatness he seems to always approach everyone else with the attitude of "Oh my god I'm having such a great time. Want to come along?" His joyful passion about music and life in general is contagious. I hope he is able to keep rocking for decades to come. The world is a better place because Dave Grohl is in it.

Well, I hope that's true... but keep in mind that that's just what he shows. You never can tell how public figures really are

[@LetsBeClear87]

He’s a human being first. A friend and a father. And he rocks the stadiums off their foundation. Legend

[@rmyrick2451]

He also does so much for his community, cooking massive meals for the firefighters that are out there battling the wildfires, donating his time and money, doing USO trip…they don’t make them like him anymore, he will go down as a legend. A classic.

About a decade later he saw that triangle on the TV dropping bombs over Iraq, they called it a B-2. Carl will get his recognition, I trust the karma.

Are you having a laugh. I love him to bits but he does not have a strong voice. He can't hold any notes live. Just sings as hard as he can (which is essentially a shout) and runs around trying to get people excited. Loads of the great melodies on the records just get hacked up live (or sung by the audience alone)
