it was amazing

This was a fantastic memoir about music, family and friendship and I loved each and every page of it. ❤️

I wish I could meet Dave Grohl in real life. He seems so cool and laid-back and absolutely the kind of person I’d want to befriend.

I loved that he didn’t talk all about sex, drugs and alcohol the whole time which was exactly what I was expecting. It was very family and friend forward and talked a lot about his music process and I got to re-listen to songs I haven’t heard in ages and learn new ones along the way. It got me back into some music that I haven’t listened to in a decade!

This is my second memoir of 5 towards my reading resolution this year and out of all the memoirs I’ve ever read, my favorite. I think my next three will be hard to top this one. 😄

If you love Nirvana and Foo Fighters or just love rock music in general, then you should definitely pick this book up.

Easy 5 ⭐️

Luffy Sempai I am a massive fan of Nirvana, but not FFF. Grohl seems decent and his book is less offensive than Scar Tissue by that Red Hot Chilli Peppers singer. Scar Tissue is a reference but it is very much full of his dubious exploits. I don't want to meet Grohl though. He is an overgrown child. I prefer him to the drummer I hate most though : Ringo Starr. IMO the best drummer in rock is Matt Cameron. But I don't think he wrote a book. He is in the band Pearl Jam.

The book has a high rating on GR and a few years ago everyone was reading it.


Allison Faught Thank you, Kat!! 💕

s.penkevich Wonderful review! Ahhhh I’m so glad to hear this is good and makes him seem so lovely. Always thought he was a chill dude. Very much ripped off his style when I was a teen haha


Allison Faught Thanks, S! I did too! 😂
