Whether recounting his time as kid in Toughskins in the Virginia suburbs, as a skinny teenager drumming his heart out for punk band Scream, living through the explosion and implosion of Nirvana, or hustling all the way around the world to escort his daughters to the Father/Daughter dance (only to be ignored as soon as his girls found their friends) The Storyteller is just like its author, as real as it gets. To show his appreciation for his fans, and to celebrate his love of writing, this edition offers a wide variety of extra content, including: An essay on how Dave approaches creativity (Here’s a hint: you don’t have to think outside of the box. Just ignore it.) A series of prompts to jump start your creativity The story of when Dave first met Paul McCartney A collection of Dave’s curated playlists, giving a glimpse into some of the music he loves The Storyteller has challenged what a music memoir can be.
With this edition, the legacy continues.

TLDR: Engaging book for music lovers, rich in passion and dedication, a great read and gift choice. 📖🎵❤️ This book transcends mere fanhood of Nirvana or Foo Fighters; it's a testament to a life devoted to the art of music. Written by a man whose life's work is a melody in itself, it's a celebration of creation, listening, and the universal love for music. Each page radiates the author's deep passion and unwavering dedication to music. It's not just about the notes and the rhythms; it's about the soul-stirring power of music. The book captures the essence of what it means to live and breathe melodies and harmonies. It's become my literary comfort food – the book I reach for in between reads, often finding myself absorbed in its pages again and again.

Dive in, and like many before you, you might find yourself thanking me for the recommendation.
Interesting
Dave's a good writer. Easy to read. Goes quickly.
Dave Grohl is a mastermind
He has such a great life-story and has so much to say. Always have been a fan of his- from Nirvana to Foo Fighters. I was looking forward to this and it's a great read!
Great memoir of an icon
I love reading because I love stories. That may seem like an obvious statement, but so many non-fiction books are recaps of isolated events or summaries of studies. I enjoy non-fiction (probably more than the average person), but my issue with memoirs is that, too often, they highlight the glamorous bits of the subject’s life, which doesn’t make for a great story. It’s the book version of social media. You want the ups and downs. You want to root for your main character, even if your main character is real and you know the ending already. Books, whether fiction or non-fiction, are meant to be stories. Enter Dave Grohl’s The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music. For the aforementioned reasons, I don’t actively seek out memoirs. But Dave Grohl has always seemed like a genuinely awesome guy, and his music makes its way onto every playlist I’ve ever made. A good bit of Dave Grohl’s music makes up the soundtrack to my life – so naturally, I wanted to learn about his. Grohl takes his memoir and lays it out in five parts. He covers everything from: his childhood and foray into music the singular event that directed the course of his whole life his time in a little-known band called Nirvana (sarcasm!) the winding path of the Foo Fighters and what it means to be a dad – and one of the biggest names in the world As expected, Grohl is incredibly relatable. His sunny attitude radiates throughout his words, even when talking about (spoiler alert!) the death of Nirvana’s frontman, Kurt Cobain. Grohl truly tells stories. He doesn’t take you from point to point in a straight line – he takes you on a journey through his life. He may begin a chapter about his daughter, and suddenly you’re in a French psychic’s apartment discussing other dimensions and auras. You’re not left hanging or wondering, “what’s the point of this anecdote?” It all makes sense. Unquestionably, Dave Grohl, whether as the drummer for Nirvana or the frontman of the Foo Fighters, has had some genuinely astounding experiences. However, Grohl tells these stories like a lucky dude who happened to be in the right place at the right time. He nerds out over his heroes just like the rest of us and continually cannot believe his fortune as he marvels at his life. That said, Grohl pulls no punches as he shares the choices he made to get to where he is: living on one dollar per day, sleeping on floors, and running down alleys from drug dealers in Europe. Despite what I consider hardships, his wisdom at a young age allowed him to see the big picture and what was possible. He didn’t need a guarantee – he needed a chance. The Storyteller is a beautiful story of achieving success on your terms and because of your choices. I hope you find it as inspiring and uplifting as I did.
No words do it justice- just a melody.
Well written. Powerful. Fun. Tears of joy and sorrow. So good. Read it twice. Touches all the emotions, makes you smile. Reads just like your favorite album.
Great book
Just saw the Foo Fighters in concert after being on the bucket list for a number of years. Dave Grohl really knows how to put on a show! It was nice reading about his life and experiences. Very well written.
