Read by Dave Grohl. Features excerpts from five never-before-heard demos performed by Dave Grohl and an original story exclusive to The Storyteller audiobook.
So, Iâve written a book.
Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities (âItâs a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!â), I have decided to tell these stories just as I have always done, in my own voice. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that Iâve recorded and canât wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.
This certainly doesnât mean that Iâm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what itâs like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughtersâŠthe list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

Den hÀr ljudboken Àr fantastiskt bra. Den berÀttelse om Daves liv, frÄn barn till vuxen Älder Àr en berÀttelse om hur man kan fÄ kÀmpa innan man nÄr framgÄng. Det Àr en stor fördel att det Àr hans egen berÀttarröst som ger stor tyngd till upplevelserna i de olika delarna av hans liv. Det Àr samtidigt en berÀttelse om kÀrleken till hans mamma Virginia och om det makalöst fantastiska sÀtt hon stöttade honom pÄ. Denna bok Àr ocksÄ en kÀrleksförklaring till musiken och till olika mÀnniskor inom musikvÀrlden, levande som döda.
