I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.
DAVE GROHLI think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.
DAVE GROHLI had never been in charge of anything. I’d always worked for someone. I worked for a furniture warehouse. I did masonry. I always had a boss yelling at me. So I’d never been in charge of an organization.
DAVE GROHLWhen there’s so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you’ve already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?
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 GROHLThere’s always gonna be rock n’ roll bands, there’s always gonna be kids that love rock n’ roll records, and there will always be rock n’ roll.
DAVE GROHLI believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it’s changed generations of people.
DAVE GROHLWhen you’re young, you’re not afraid of what comes next. You’re excited by it.
DAVE GROHLThe best time for gum is just before getting onstage. I need a minty-fresh microphone.
DAVE GROHLWow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you’ve got.
DAVE GROHLIf there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s gathering people together to do something fun.
DAVE GROHLDevelop that individuality by working as hard as you can at what you love.
DAVE GROHLThe most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone’s cool.
DAVE GROHLWhen I listen to music these days, and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine – it kinda sucks the life out of music.
DAVE GROHLI’m a skinny, geeky, high school dropout – it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You’ll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team ’cause he’s on steroids and he’s gonna get fat.
DAVE GROHLNothing’s going to keep me from making music. If I were in the want-ads in the back of the paper or playing to six people at a coffee shop, I’d still love to make music.
DAVE GROHLAll I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
