That Rock Lifestyle. This memoir was good not great, despite its being on multiple must-read listicles. What is interesting about it is the opportunity to hear the behind the scenes stories behind some of the biggest bands of my teenage years. What was missing is more of the details and meaning behind each song a la Dolly Parton’s recent memoir. Though I do appreciate the transparency on his relationship with Kurt Cobain and that period which was fraught with craziness. One other disconcerting aspect is that Dave hops back and forth between periods a lot so you have to do some of the work to keep what’s happening straight. However, the book being non-linear may also be reflective of his personality as he tries to get across when he says he lets the universe have its way in his life. All in all, it added a lot of color to a high energy and interesting persona you only know from his music. The stories further highlight the eccentricities you would expect with a rock and roll lifestyle. What we ultimately learn is that Dave Grohl is like the rock equivalent of Dolly Parton in how he bridges genres and a who’s who of music and society titans. The root of this connective energy is found in the theme carried all throughout the book. That being the connective power of music itself. The shared experience of the chorus of a song blasting over our car radios as we navigate a scorching summer. Or the reminiscing that is triggered when long forgotten tune pops up on your playlist. If this memoir is anything, it’s a great example of how the stories of our lives are inextricably linked to music.

I’m not a reader, he’s not a writer.. Love Dave Grohl. Smart, Humble, Beer Drinking, Herb burning, Girl Dad RockStar. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

There Goes My Hero. From my point of view, this book took Dave from the one dimensional to three dimensional (need to read the book).

Absolutely brilliant storytelling!. LOVED LOVED LOVED! Such an amazing storyteller. Read it in two days. Write another book, Dave!!

Good read. Good story on the work it takes to rise to the level a profession.

Generally good. I thought the book was generally very good. He stayed very far away from the Nirvana years and Kurt Cobain. I thought there might be some more there.

Aptly named - Dave is a tremendous storyteller. Seems like one of the good guys of Rock & Roll. He has a true appreciation for those that shaped him as an artist.

Great read. The perfect book for anyone who loves music lovingly told by one of the best musicians ever.

A true musician with integrity. Dave Grohl is so humble and genuine. These are things that people often overlook. My passion for music and Dave’s amazing stories made this book an easy read for me and easily the best book I’ve read in years.

Addictive stories. Awesome stories from Dave, once I started reading it I couldn’t stop till it was done.

Recommend. Tremendous. Such a great guy.

Great Look at a Legend. This gives fans a look inside the legend. Filled with stories from childhood all the way up to the time of publishing, reading this opens the doors into the heart and soul of one of the biggest musical icons of the time.

L❤️‍🔥ve. Could have read 1,000 pages more of his stories!

What an incredible book! Love it!. Great and entertaining read with lot of music history, funny moments, stories of life and friendships.

My friend Dave. Fabulous read. I feel like Dave is a friend now. Love you Dave

Dave Grohl is not from Earth.. No matter what Dave Grohl does creatively, he is always one of the best of them. Anything creative he excels at beyond imagination. Thanks, Dave.

A must read for music lovers. I expected a great book with stories from the road but instead got a deep look into the human (respected musical genius) who now inspires us with so much more. This book is part memoir, part passion project, part love story. Truly a great read.

Excellent. Fantastic book! Amazing stories and fabulous insight. Had me crying till my sides hurt. Sometimes had me crying so hard I had to stop reading! Beautifully written! It’s always a good thing when someone’s storytelling makes you appreciate your life and theirs. A must read!

Once you are in you are in. As a Foo Fighters fan from the beginning, this book is an insightful look into a guy that I consider one of the coolest musicians of my generation. Dave Grohl is so appreciative of everything this planet has to offer, I always had a sense of that for some reason but actually reading it made it more clear.

Great. Entertaining, funny, uplifting

Storyteller Inspired me as a Father!. The book storyteller inspired me to be a better father. I love music, rock, and I really admire Dave Grohl's personality. My father lived a very hard childhood. distant from her parents had to learn how to survive. Now I am the father of two girls in the 13, 9 and a 10 boy, I feel inspired to take away from ideals and rigid concepts to give them the openness of seeking what their heart dictates. great Book.

Don’t let it end.. To say I loved this book is an understatement. We need more Dave’s in the world today.

Outstanding. David Grohl lives his life like he is Forrest Gump and doesn’t realize what a great artist he is himself.

Honest and Real. Just an awesome book from beginning to end. If you love music, you will find this an enjoyable read. If you love life and all it’s mysteries you will also love this book!

Enjoyed. I enjoyed storyteller as it’s exactly what you’d expect. A collection of stories by an interesting and awesome artist. At first it felt all over the place but it was neat to read about all the connections you might not have known about. Like when I realized foo’s drummer was with Alanis on the Jagged little pill tour. (News to me maybe jot music die hards)

What an amazing story!. He did what we all dream of doing. Told here in a fun to read story. I feel like I lived it with him.

Music frames memories. The most interesting parts are learning how tough it was for Dave to get started, the catalysts that spurred him on, and how important music is in all phases of a gifted artist’s life. Dave’s passion for music, his family and friends are the pillars of his story. And one certainly gets the feeling this book isn’t ghost written, it’s all Dave.

Absolutely incredible book!. I could not put it down! Love his writing, such a kind, talented & full-of-life man!

Gripping. Dave is a natural born storyteller. He has a was of making his stories real and compelling. I was unable to put it down.

Dave’s rock goofiness and heart grounds who he is. Dave mentions stories of rolling up (but not getting into) Pantera’s strip club as well as soaking up moments at LA’s Viper Room but not much further. And that’s okay. He’s very mindful of his roots and spells out a risk it all journey from playing in several bands in his youth. He gets into a bit of the Nirvana days and segues into his Foo Fighter career while ending with his meeting his idol moments and his family. I’ve read several rock biographies and it’s nice to read one that acknowledges family and being rock dorks while also getting in and out of trouble and not developing a lock yourself in a motel drug addiction. Albeit he was addicted to coffee. If you’re looking for what happens at the Viper Room or Pantera’s Strip Club you won’t find it. You’ll find a solid story of putting your life on the line for what you care about, making hard decision, and plenty of nods to rock gods.
