About this product

Product Information

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, I've written a book. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") 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 I've recorded and can't 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 doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's 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 daughters...the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

Reviews
"The message that burns through "The Storyteller" is to those who watch him onstage now: Deep down, I'm just like you. I've worked hard to get where I am, but I obsessed over the same music you do. I'm a fan.", Both a timestamp of the past and a living example of what can be accomplished through creation. Lovers of chronicled melodic adventures and those seeking artistic inspiration will want to check it out., Grohl candidly shares his reverence for the enduring power of music. . . Reflecting on his fame, Grohl writes, "I have never taken a single moment of it for granted." Paired with his sparkling wit, this humility is what makes Grohl's soulful story a cut above typical rock memoirs. There isn't a dull moment here., As Grohl himself sees it, he's a McCartney, not a Lennon, and if he's filling the world with silly love songs, the object of his affection tends to be existence itself., Grohl bares his soul and shares his passion in this must-read memoir, which will resonate with music lovers and his fans., "The title "The Storyteller" fits perfectly. The book is filled with plainspoken, conversational prose that ably pulls readers into each tale, no matter how linear or digressive. The pages fly by, the memoir having the feel of a series of chats over drinks with a friend who just happens to have worked with nearly every notable mainstream and indie-rock musician of the last few decades.", He may be a slight musical genius, but Grohl's journey from modest, punk-obsessed troublemaker, to drumming in the most popular band of the decade, to launching an enduring solo career that puts his rock and roll ethos at its center, is a truly inspiring tale., "Candid, humble and full of stories about big-time stars...music lovers will want to put this one in heavy rotation." -- CNN "As Grohl himself sees it, he's a McCartney, not a Lennon, and if he's filling the world with silly love songs, the object of his affection tends to be existence itself." -- Rolling Stone "The message that burns through The Storyteller is to those who watch him onstage now: Deep down, I'm just like you.

Lovers of chronicled melodic adventures and those seeking artistic inspiration will want to check it out." -- Parade "... the world benefits just as much from hearing his inspiring stories told as only one of rock's great stadium rockers turned storyteller can tell them." -- Forbes "He may be a slight musical genius, but Grohl's journey from modest, punk-obsessed troublemaker, to drumming in the most popular band of the decade, to launching an enduring solo career that puts his rock and roll ethos at its center, is a truly inspiring tale." -- Consequence of Sound "The title The Storyteller fits perfectly.

Grohl writes with equal fervor about his path from "that guy from Nirvana" to the leader of the uberfamous Foo Fighters and his parenting experiences.
