A heart-warming, uplifting look back at some of the highs and lows of Dave Grohl's amazing life!

I do not read non-fiction much at all, but when I saw Regina's review of this, I knew I had to get it on audible! Why? Because it's Dave Grohl!

I think a lot of people would enjoy this audio even if they didn't know of Mr Grohl, but if you are a fan, like I am, then you're in for a treat! I was, and am still a massive Nirvana and Foo Fighters fan, so delighted in hearing his tales and memories of both bands. There isn't much on the Nirvana years, but then, unfortunately, he only spent a fraction of his life in that band.

I remember seeing the Foo Fighters at Reading Festival (pronounced Redding) in 2000 (I think) and they absolutely rocked it! But what I remember the most, is that people got really over excited and surged forwards, and Dave kept stopping and asking people to be careful and to help people up. He wouldn't play again until everyone was up and safe.


Although not chronological, The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music covered some really interesting parts of Dave's life, was very entertaining, without being gossipy and I could just feel his love of music and life! He was a fantastic narrator, his rich voice drawing me in, and I found myself wishing I was his friend! He made me laugh several times and swears just as much as I do ha ha!

I just liked his down to Earth attitude, he came across so humble and thankful for everything he has, and just seems like such a good guy. A family man, he tries hard to be a good son, husband, father and friend. Dave seems such a genuine guy!
I had never really thought about why he went from drumming, to being lead singer, and found this part of the book really emotional. I was sad listening to how his friend and bandmate's suicide made him spiral, but I am so glad that music saved him!

In between listening to this, I obviously binge listened to the Foo Fighter's greatest hits for about two weeks!

I think I love him even more now, and would honestly listen to anything he narrated, even if he did go off on a little tangent about aliens and ghosts at one point lol

To sum up, this is a must listen for fans of Dave's bands, but that you might enjoy it also if you just love music!
Oh and if you do listen, make sure you listen past the end credits, I only did accidentally, but was treated to one more extra treat of a story!
