Well, Dave Grohl is certainly a great storyteller.
I am a pop music lover but who doesn't love Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters. I had to listen to this on audio, read by Dave himself. My husband is a massive fan and I bought him he hardback for Christmas. We saw the band play in Sydney a few years ago, pre covid, and they were amazing. Such a high energy and loud concert that I will never forget.
I am writing this review the day after the death of drummer, Taylor Hawkins. I am still in shock that he is gone, after finishing this book on Friday. Taylor seemed to be a wonderful and full of life character and my heart goes out to his family and the rest of the band. I cannot imagine what they are going through right now, especially Dave, now losing 2 bandmates.
In Storyteller, Dave tells us some incredible stories of his life. And he is incredibly humble. He has worked hard and sacrificed alot to be where he is today, and he deserves the adulation. This book made me laugh, he has a way with words and some of the situations that he has been in are just hilarious. It almost made me cry, the losses that has suffered just broke me.
Some of my favourite stories - performing with Rick Astley, losing his wallet, the daddy-daughter dance, visiting the White House and so many more.
Any music lover will enjoy this book, I love to hear the behind the scenes stories. Dave you are a legend.
