I'm a huge fan of Dave Grohl. I knew I would enjoy this one, but I was surprised by how much I loved it.
If you're expecting dirty laundry, drama, or huge shocking revelations, this is not it. Also, do not expect much of his time in Nirvana. He joined Nirvana when he was only 21 and was with the band for only 3 years.
I think DG was very respectful of what he could and should share, and really considered the impact that the things he shared would have on the people he mentioned and their families. Even though there's a comment here or there about some stuff, it was all very drama free. That only made me respect him more.
In my opinion, he's crazy talented and incredibly humble. I loved how he shared that sometimes he thinks that his life isn't really his life and he feels like he's just watching it all from above.
Overall, this was pure enjoyment for me.
Majority of his stories are very upbeat. Strangely he doesn't go into as much detail about how the Foo Fighters came together as he does with Nirvana. Meshes nicely with the tv series he and his mom did, based on her book about mothers and their successful, musical, children.
Do the audiobook where he does the narration himself.
Sometimes you are just unable to write enough good things about a book. A truly amazing reading experience. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Highly recommend. Non-fans (if there are any) would also enjoy all the stories.
