The budget for big chairs in rock music is still apparently at an all time low, with Dave Grohl once again dusting off his big throne and lending it to a musician unable to stand. Greyhawk bassist Darin Wall took a turn using the seat at a recent show, after being shot in the leg outside a venue earlier this month.In a post on Instagram, Wall said: “It was beyond a thrill to sit in Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters’ throne last night.

Dave Grohl has said that he is open to playing live with ABBA, while also revealing that he “wept like a baby” when he heard the group’s recent comeback single.The Swedish band released two tracks earlier this month to preview their long-awaited new album ‘Voyage’, which is set for release on November 5, and their upcoming “digital” residency in London, which begins in May 2022.Speaking to BBC News this week, Grohl – who has previously cited ABBA as an influence – was asked for his reaction to ABBA’s comeback.“Oh my god, I’m such a big ABBA fan,” the Foo Fighters frontman said. “When I saw that they were coming back and they had a record, I shot that link to 100 people I knew, then listened to the new song and wept like a baby.

Dave Grohl has lent his Foo Fighters throne to Greyhawk bassist Darin Wall, who was shot earlier this month.Grohl used the light-up seat on tour with the Foos in 2015, having broken his leg by falling from the stage in Gothenburg, Sweden. The accident resulted in the band pulling out of their Glastonbury 2015 headline slot.On Sunday (September 26), Wall returned to the stage with Greyhawk after being shot in the leg during a confrontation with a gunman outside a venue in Boise, Idaho earlier this month.Still recovering from the incident, the musician took to Instagram yesterday (September 29) to share an image of himself onstage in Grohl’s famous throne.

Dave Grohl has lived many lifetimes. Before he was known as the leader of the Foo Fighters, Dave was beating the hell out of the drums for Nirvana, honing his chops in DC hardcore band Scream, and — per Rolling Stone’s recounting of his memoir, The Storyteller – he almost became a member of GWAR. Yet, one of the most significant chapters in his life story is the one about his time as a father. Since 2003, Dave has been married to producer/director Jordyn Blum, and they have become parents to three daughters: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia.

Dave Grohl has reflected on the opportunities he’s had to play with his musical heroes over the years, saying that he “cannot believe that it’s happening to me”.The Foo Fighters frontman was speaking to BBC Radio 6 Music’s Breakfast Show earlier today (September 29) following on from his one-man show in London earlier this week.Speaking to host Lauren Laverne about his new book The Storyteller, which will be published on October 5, Grohl expanded on what it’s been like to have had the opportunity to play and work with so many of his heroes during his career.“Oh my god, well here’s the thing: you know my entire life I’ve basically felt like I’m watching this happen to someone else, you know?” Grohl said.

Dave Grohl has revealed he had an encounter with GWAR early in his music career – which he says almost led to him joining the costumed metal band as their drummer.In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Grohl explained that he was approached by members of GWAR while he was in-between bands – at the time, he was yet to join Scream and his previous band Dain Bramage had recently split.

AS frontman of the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl is one of the most recognisable faces in rock. His band has sold more than 30million records and won five Brit Awards and 11 Grammys.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorEvery person who worked on Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” released 30 years ago today, says that the album basically broke itself, almost immediately taking on a life of its own in a way that could never have been planned — “Get out of the way and duck” was a phrase that record company executives said often at the time. But dozens of people were working at the top of their respective games to make sure that the band was heard and seen.Nirvana — Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl — did not come out of nowhere, as many seemed to think at the time.

He grew up in the Virginia suburbs, found a home as a teenager as a burgeoning drummer in the Washington, DC punk rock scene, and reached the heights of rock stardom in, not one, but two of the biggest bands in the world, Nirvana and Foo Fighters.And now Dave Grohl is sharing some of his early memories and life stories in a new autobiographical book - The Storyteller - that's slated to drop in October.The memoir is said to be a celebration of music as the legendary rocker looks back on old childhood experiences, including some of his craziest and most touching moments, all while taking inspiration from his musical heroes that laid out the template of what a life in music would look like.

Dave Grohl has looked back on writing Nirvana‘s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, explaining that the band initially thought it was just “another cool song”.The Foo Fighters frontman spoke about the classic single as part of NME‘s ‘Nevermind at 30’ track-by-track feature, which also sees the likes of The Killers, Lorde, St. Vincent and Biffy Clyro dig into their favourite cuts from the record.“I remember writing ‘Teen Spirit’ in our rehearsal space, and I liked the riff that Kurt [Cobain] came up with because it’s percussive, Grohl remembered.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorApparently concerts, albums, documentaries, writing songs with Mick Jagger, VMA honors and writing books aren’t enough to keep the indefatigable Dave Grohl busy: Now he’s doing a book tour.Later this month and next, Grohl will undertake an extremely limited run of intimate evenings that’ll see (and hear) him bring his first book to life: “The Storyteller –Tales of Life and Music,” which is described as “a collection of memories of a life lived loud,” is out October 5 via Dey Street Books and Simon & Schuster.Tickets for the tour on sale now.The book ranges from his formative years on the DC punk rock scene through the decades of music that followed — all of which Grohl will discuss, along with “some special

Dave Grohl has reflected on writing a book in a new trailer for his upcoming memoir, The Storyteller.The book has been described as “a collection of memories of a life lived loud” and is set to be released in the UK on October 5.In the new video, Grohl explains how he came to write the book in the first place: “I’ve never really been one to collect stuff, but I do collect moments. My life flashes before my eyes every single day and in writing this book I’ve tried to capture those moments as best I can.“When the lockdown happened, I suddenly had nothing to do.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has spoken on the band’s commercial appeal, saying that he’s not sure they’ve ever felt cool.Speaking in a new interview, Grohl talked the criticism he and the band received early on and the perception that he shouldn’t have carried on making music following the disbandment of Nirvana.“I don’t know if we’ve ever felt cool,” Grohl told Rolling Stone, discussing the idea that once a band reaches a certain level of fame they lose cool points.He went on to say that during the band’s earlier years he felt like he was fighting a perception that the Foos shouldn’t even exist, that it was somehow inappropriate to have another band after Nirvana.“I was thinking, ‘It’s inevitable: People will not want me to do this.’

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl is impressed with how Taylor Swift is taking back her catalogue.
