I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

DAVE GROHLIt’s funny, there aren’t too many musicians that also moonlight as studio engineers. There’s a few – the really brilliant ones.
DAVE GROHLTo me the most important thing is getting into a studio and making an album that is 12 or 14 amazing songs, getting up onstage, and making people happy by livening the rock.
DAVE GROHLFrom one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.
DAVE GROHLNo one is you, and that is your power.
DAVE GROHLBecause you have things like ‘American Idol’ and you’ve got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it’s easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.
DAVE GROHLI taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.
DAVE GROHLAll I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
DAVE GROHLMom, thanks for letting me drop out of high school. Haha!
DAVE GROHLThe most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone’s cool.
DAVE GROHLYour personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.
DAVE GROHLAt school where you a dunce or a teacher’s pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.
DAVE GROHLIf there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s gathering people together to do something fun.
DAVE GROHLAlways have the highest bar for yourself.
DAVE GROHLThere’s a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.
DAVE GROHLThere’s nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.
