“I Hate Dave Grohl!
Okay, so that headline is kinda clickbait-y. And it’s also not my personal opinion. Having talked to Dave many times, I’m convinced that he has really earned his reputation as The Nicest Man in Rock™.
So what’s not to like? “Let me count the ways,” says this Boston writer.
I’ve got another confession to make: I can’t stand Dave Grohl.
I say this firmly, and people look at me like they just walked out of a warm porta-potty at Bonnaroo. Their face contorts to an expression somewhere between anger and confusion – they know they’re supposed to be appalled but forget why – until they finally blast out a large “WHAT?”
This is the usual exclamation, followed by a clunky sentence formed around the word “Nirvana.” There is no doubt that Grohl deserves respect for his work with one of the most important rock bands to ever make music, but calling the Foo Fighters rock ‘n’ roll is like calling Olive Garden authentic Italian food.
With a new documentary on HBO, an accompanying Foo Fighters album, and a recent piece on “60 Minutes” that began with Anderson Cooper saying “The Foo Fighters may be America’s best rock n’ roll band,” it’s time to rethink Grohl and the Foo Fighters.
And it gets better. Keep reading.
He doesn’t get it at all. His loss.
Bah. Classic contrarianism. “Everyone else loves X, so I’m going to show how cool and edgy I am by taking a big whiz all over X.”
Nice clickbait title, but the article is weak, weak stuff. Pass.
Grohl is a mediocre drummer. Personally I hated Nirvana. They made it acceptable to be a shitty musician.
I hate Dave Grohl also.I hate musicians who seem to make careers out of emulating,rubbing elbows with,or paying tribute to the great musical icons of the past.This is what grohl and many others do routinely.The man uses the F word too much also in describing his heroes
dave you suck. should of packed it in after Curt
I am sick and tired of seeing photos of my heroes like Joe Walsh arm in arm with that mediocre hack. Dave Grohl is really great at one thing and one thing only…staying famous. Foo Fighters are musical pablum and that dude who was in Soundgarden drums circles around him.
I love Dave Grohl. Huge fan since 1995.
He’s the best….great with his fans. There’s a reason they keep selling out Arenas. You are just jealous you bitches.
I’ve been listening to Grohl and the bands he played in for years, and it’s the first time I’ve ever heard this ********. I tend to think you’ve had, to you, was a bad experience with him and you’re still pissed. Jealousy if probably involved too.
There are rumors , which are backed up by some compelling circumstantial evidence that Grohl along with Love were involved in Kurts death. And its this reason I have a hard time listening to him or looking at him the most, and think his music sucks , and think he even probably knows it. Kurt even said that he sucked as a drummer, and Grohl supposedly heard about it and almost quit the band over it
