Dave Grohl Bums Quotations

Ramones or AC/DC are two bands that have managed to keep their signature sound and their signature formula for years and years and album after album after album, without it seeming like a dead-end street.

The Nirvana unplugged album was something we'd always knew we were capable of doing, but it was just a matter of doing it right.

Once I got into punk rock, I started mail-ordering albums, because a lot of the record stores in my area didn't carry the punk bands from England or Sweden or Chicago or Los Angeles

With this record [The Colour and the Shape], I started taking the lyrics more seriously. This is a very personal album.

When it comes to making an album I take that very seriously. I am meticulous, overworked. That's my time to put everything under the microscope.

A lot of the records you buy, there's nothing you can hold in your hand, it's all 1′s and 0′s, this digital cloud floating in the ether, but with analog albums, you can hold it in your hand.

I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect,

'In Utero' was the first time I'd made an album that reached into the dark side. I remember the conflict and the uncertainty. I remember all those things when I hear 'Pennyroyal Tea.'

Usually after making a record, you imagine it to be your last, ... You just feel tapped out. This time, for whatever reason, this album inspired me to keep writing. It made me feel like we still have good albums in us, that we're still capable of making good records for years to come.
