Dave Grohl Wiki Biography

David Eric “Dave” Grohl is a widely known rock star who played along side the famous Kurt Cobain in Nirvana and is the founder of the rock band Foo Fighters. Obviously playing drums are not the only talent that Dave has. He is a song writer, producer, plays the guitar and even sings. So how rich is this amazing rock talent? Today Dave Grohl’s net wort is $260 million. This huge net worth Dave achieved not only performing with the previously mentioned bands, but he participated in more than a few projects with well known artists like Tenacious D, Nine Inch Nails, Killing Joke, Queens Of The Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, David Bowie and even Paul McCartney.

Grohl’s interest in music started in his adolescence, since he began taking guitar lessons from the age of twelve, and after his cousin took him to a few punk rock music shows, Dave knew that this is the path he wants to go.

Switching schools more than once for his marihuana use, Dave played the guitar in a few local bands. But playing the guitar was not enough for Grohl, so he thought him self to play drums and that’s what gave him the start to gain this huge net worth. At the age of seventeen David got a spot in a band named Scream, even though he did lie about his age while auditioning and claimed that he was twenty. Grohl dropped out of school in his junior year to go on tour with his new band and as he sad in his latter interviews he never regretted doing this. A few years latter when the Scream had split up, Dave got in touch with Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic and auditioned for one of the most powerful rock band- Nirvana. The fame and success rushed their way, but Dave did not feel too special in the band, according to him, he was just one of many drummers. Despite the fact that most of the songs in the band was written by Kurt Cobain, Grohl did not gave up, he wrote his own songs and released them in 1992 by the nick name “Late!”.

In 1994 devastated after Kurt’s sudden suicide, Dave created an amazing album of his own, and I mean all on his own. Not only that he singed the vocal part of his written songs, but Grohl played most of the instruments that where used in this album. And his efforts didn’t went unnoticed, Capital Records signed a contract with Dave and that was the beginning of one of the most successful rock bands of the twenty fist century- Foo Fighters. Grohl as the lead singer and rhythm guitar player recruited Pat Smear (guitar), William Goldsmith (drums) and Nate Mendel (bass) as the members of the band and started a Grammy awards wining journey. The biggest success the band stroke at the year 2000, after the singles “Everlong”, “All My Life” and the album “Last Night” was nominated for a Grammy award, for the best album of the year.

Even though Dave Grohl is living a luxurious life with his $260 million net worth, he is one of the nicest celebrities, who’s a loving husband, father of two and a man that stands up for gay rights. Unlike most rock stars, Dave claims that he’s never done cocaine, heroine and from the age of 20 he stopped using marihuana and LSD.

Dave Grohl Quotes

• Man, nobody is cooler that Dolly Parton. Her story is amazing. Man, she didn’t even have running water. She bought her family’s first TV from being on TV. Did you know that? you do now.
• I swear to God, you can tell the difference between an English drummer and an American one. Most of the English drummers swing their rolls, but most of the Americans don’t.
• If The Beatles were the original rock’n’roll four-piece, then Ringo [Ringo Starr] was the original rock’n’roll drummer. This was the template for the next 40 years of music. They were certainly the foundation for what I do and Ringo seemed to be the foundation of The Beatles. I always thought he had a great style. He had a wonderful swing and was a showman. A lot of drummers aren’t considered showmen, but he definitely turned it on. His swing and backbeat carry so many of The Beatles’ songs. Back then, the recording depended on the feel of the song. There was no digital manipulation of drum tracks, so it was up to the drummer to dictate that feel. And Ringo had his own sound. Pull all the instruments out and you’d still know it was a Beatles song. And that’s the sound of a signature drummer. It’s the kind of thing drummers strive for all their career, but not all of them make it.
• From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.
• How Kurt could even think we’d make a ripple in this ridiculous mainstream world of polished pop music was beyond me. It was beyond everyone. It made absolutely no sense. It was simply unimaginable. It was the type of hopeless, shallow aspirations that we had been conditioned to reject, ultimately relieving us of any intention other than to just be ourselves.
• Who’s to say what’s a good voice and not a good voice? The Voice (2011)? Imagine Bob Dylan standing there singing ‘Blowin in the Wind’ in front of Christina Aguilera. ‘I think you sound a little nasally and sharp.’
• I always go, and people will think I’m crazy for this as there are a lot of Bowie [David Bowie] eras and they’re all great, but I really like the ‘Let’s Dance’ period. Because, as a drummer, that’s one of the best air drumming albums of all time. I can appreciate technical drumming, sure. But to me there’s nothing better than being in a bar full of people dancing and air drumming when none of them know how to play the drums. That and ‘Back In Black’, anyone will air drum to those albums.
• Live Aid (1985) was huge. How many bands played that thing? Everybody. Queen smoked ’em. They just took everybody.
• [on George W. Bush] When we heard that he was using our music at his rallies it was like being raped in the ass. It was not a good feeling.
• When I discovered punk rock, the only punk rockers I’d seen were on Quincy.
