The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music

So, I’ve got to rate this 5 stars.
I'll lose my honorary grunge badge if I don't. ¯\_(�)_/¯
I knew that I would like The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music but I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did.
Back in the 90s, I loved this dude from the years of being in Scream and then Nirvana.
When he started The Foo Fighters after Kurt Cobain's death, I was impressed with that as well.
In fact, I'm going to their concert this year in Seattle and I can't wait!
If you can get this on audio, I think you’ll enjoy it more.
I’m sure the printed version is good but to hear Dave Grohl talk about his life, his music career and now being a Dad of three girls, it’s even better!
His enthusiasm and humor are top notch in this!
As a grunge fan rocking flannel, cut up jeans with paint and bobby pins, and also purple hair back in the 90s, I loved the parts of the book with his days with Nirvana and how Kurt Cobain’s suicide really affected him.
This was the part of the book that I really wanted to listen too. I can’t tell you how many times I listened to Bleach and Nevermind back in the day.
I also lost a best friend in the 90s to suicide and it’s tough to go through this at an early age.
The questions of "Why?", "Could I have done more?" and "What the fuck?!" don’t really go away.
I loved to hear about what music means to him and how he’s always trying to be genuine and uniquely himself, even if others don’t like it.
I love this about him and wish more celebrities and people in general cared less about other’s opinions, and cared more about being yourself and happy!
If you are a big fan of music, especially alternative or rock, check this one out.
I don't think you'll regret it!
And even if you're not a big fan of music and alternative/rock in general, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by this book.
It’s well put together; the pacing is great and it’s extremely entertaining to listen to Dave talk. He's actually a great narrator!

That's awesome and thank you! I'm sure Taylor doesn't mind when Dave butts in on the drums. LOL!
I'm glad you enjoyed them in concert and if you haven't checked this one out, I think you'll love it Sally.
Unbelievable review, Ginger!! So sorry about your friend :o(

Thanks J.K. on both! I still miss Chris to this day.

Woohoo! I'm glad that card is still working. hahaha
And thanks Jeffrey!


I think you’ll really like it Kristen! Definitely go with the audiobook if you can and I hope it works for you.
And thank you!


Nice Kristen!! I'm glad to hear you're also going to see them this summer. Bring on the Foos!


I hope you do LTJ and thanks! It's really good and if you can do audio, I think you would love it even more. I thought Dave was a fantastic narrator!
