Ironically, when becoming a teacher and adopting into an education system you realise that the problem isn't with the children, but with the system itself not accommodating the many aspects of human behaviour. So in order to be a great teacher you must forget the system and focus on the children. In many ways it's tragic that we're so far behind in our educational systems considering the vast knowledge we have on behavioral and developmental phycology.

Dave Grohl has to be one of the most genuine people in music. No facade, no attitude, just a man with a story who happens to be famous. I adore his stories and his love of Kurt. He has never tried to capitalize on Kurts death nor has Krist. They have always had my respect. Such an AMAZING musician but an even more AMAZING human.

I got to meet him briefly when I was 13 and I was in such awe standing in front of a guy that I basically idolized that there is absolutely no way he didn't see it written on my face. He was super cool about it, asked if I was having fun, and went on his merry way. A humble and good dude.

He is the best, truly. How many rock stars checked in with their fans, personally, and not through a publicist, during the pandemic? I have saved two DMs from the man himself.

I would not say his voice is "great" but... it is sincere, well rehearsed, and strong enough to keep going (even after touring and "screaming for 3 hours"). I think Dave's ability to channel emotions through his voice is the gift, not any technique or natural uniqueness. It is his Heart that comes through, and I think that's where his humility and vulnerability causes him to bat away compliments.

Dave Grohl is the most down to earth human being on this planet. He’s got a super cool mom and a fantastic attitude. He is a good person all around. Love him!❤️

He’s obviously not only extremely talented, but very grounded. Despite such human tragedy he prevails and continues to be grateful.

You know true from that point onwards and utterly at peace. There is no hell, no heaven, once you experience it you'll know there's really no need for them either. It's always in us, it just takes death for most of us to see.

I was the drummer in a band called "The Lovehandles" in the late eighties. We went down to play the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and were booked with an opener from D.C., "The Scream". We had a great time with those guys. Dave was just another long haired partier like me. He played my drums and we danced to each other's music. And we drank a lot of beer. I don't think I got paid for the gig but priceless memories from when the music business existed and before punk (grunge) became pop. Thanks for the memories, Dave!

Scream opened for YOU? The "Lovehandles"? A band I never heard of in the 1980's and a 1980's band I can find no record of online??? Meanwhile Scream had been an international touring act since 1981 with classic releases on one of the most well known American indie labels, Dischord. But THEY opened for your band? Riiiiiight. I'm guessing the Lovehandles - with a name like that - were a party/cover band? Scream - like a lot of the DC bands had strong musical ethics and in a million years I can't see them accepting an opening slot for a university/frat/party act 7 or 8 years into their career. That was SO NOT their scene. I can accept that YOUR band was the opener and not the other way around. But I'll have to ask Pete or Franz Stahl from Scream when I get a chance. Pete and Franz changed the band's name essentially to Wool and got a major label deal, Dave joined what became the biggest band in the World. What did the famous Lovehandles get up to in the early 90's?

Same. I didn't discover Nirvana until shortly after Kurt's death, but I was immediately drawn to them when I discovered good music.

When you are a true musician you can't separate the music from your soul. You will play music in a dump or in a palace, it will always be the music..first. Everything else is secondary. Thanks Dave for being a true musician.

I’m a year and a half older than Dave, but I can honestly say he is the top living musician of my generation. What he has accomplished and continues to do is absolutely awesome.

His mom substituted at the high school where I taught. When the kids knew she would be at the school, they’d ask her to get her son to sign their cassette tapes. She did. ❤️ By the way, his mother was right. Sitting in a classroom is not a healthy way for some kids to learn. It’s expedient, but not organic. I’d say 30% of students benefit from traditional classroom learning.

Grohl is probably successful and has a positive attitude, despite the tragedy of Nirvana, because he had such a supportive family. Other musicians from his era didn't have a mom like Dave's perhaps, and didn't have healthy coping mechanisms. I think about all the bands I liked in high school, and they're all dead from drugs/suicide: Blind Melon, Joy Division, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith and there are probably many more. We need more happy families and good parents in this world, and in arts in particular.

Why are you including Soundgarden in this concept? Chris passed as a Grown Man in his early 50s. He was extremely gifted, respected and successful. Yes, he struggled with depression and self medicated at times but excess and stupidity or an accident is not what killed him. He just felt things too intensely. The same goes for Kurt. I'm sorry but, you are way off base IMO. BTW, How old are you? I grew up between Seattle and Hoquiam, which is where Kurt and Christ are from. I just feel very strongly about the Seattle Music Scene because I lived it. I was there.

Dave Grohl is a pretty deep guy. I love to listen to his stories and analogy for some pretty wild experiences. He’s also very down to earth which makes him so incredibly relatable to so many people. He’s super cool in my opinion.

How cool is Dave? He's the guy you'd love to have a beer with and be proud to bring home to Mum and Dad. Hearing him talk about his Mum so earnestly and sweet is beautiful.

Dave Grohl is such a talented man. Yet he's so humble. I have lost count of the times I've seen Foo Fighters live, he's really compassionate and generous with his fans. Especially youngsters or fans with disabilities. He appreciates each member of the band too. They're more appreciative of each other than most families are. God Bless the Foo Fighters family, my thoughts and prayers are with them all and their loved ones with the recent tragic loss of Taylor Hawkins x

what a beautiful interview. nice work, hari. & dave, thanks for all you have done & will continue to do.

Dave Grohl is musical and definitely has synaesthesia, but hasn't totally changed our understanding of music. Jacob Collier, on the other hand, is a musical genius living in our time. (And also has synaesthesia). It's not about personal preference, it's about redefining our understanding of the field. Like Einstein, and Issac Newton.

Dave talking about his interesting experiences in music and struggle in school, immediately I thought the guy *must* be neurodiverse. Googled it and he came out in 2020 in one of his documentaries about how ADHD most likely influenced his early exit from school. So glad he's come forward about this stuff and still floored that he can't read music... same with when I found out Paul McCartney is similar. It's amazing finding out more and more famous people fall in the neurodiverse category and it gives me hope, being autistic myself.

As someone who has spatial sequence synesthesia, Dave definitely has it based on his description of how he “sees” music. Very similar to how I “see” dates and the passage of time. Incidentally, this type of synesthesia has been shown to exist in conjunction with a weirdly vivid memory, which I also have, so when he talked about being able to remember things so well, those things are actually tied together. The brain is pretty freaking fascinating, And Dave Grohl is awesome.

This is such a wonderful interview, I absolutely adore it! ♥♥♥

Great interview! It's always fascinating to me when I watch things like this to see the person behind the persona. I mean, this guy is a madman on the stage and pours out his entire being, blood, sweat, energy and emotion during a performance. He gives his fans way more that they paid for. Then, to see a video like this where all the powerful energy is stripped away and the more introspective part of him is opened up, it just seems like a rare privilege that he would share himself so honestly with the world who loves him so much. My heart breaks having this video come across my feed today, and knowing that the pain of losing a band brother has been revisited on Dave. Nobody deserves to have to go through that loss. Twice. Prayers of comfort, peace and strength for the Foo. RIP Taylor. There's never going to be another like that guy.
