It's the best feeling in the world. We have a theory in the Foo Fighters that if you've ever taken an 8 x 10 photo, you want to be famous. So all that "I don't want to be famous BS can kiss my ass."

Hey Dave, I’m from Northern Virginia, and you’re my hero. You’ve had such a huge impact and been a role model to me and others, which got me wondering: Who was your hero?

Q:
Do you remember Roll's Music in Falls Church? I think they're gone now, but I bought my first electric there and would constantly be there poking around as a kid. They'd always proudly brag that Nirvana's drummer used to shop there just a few years prior. Always wondered if it was true.

It is true, but when i applied for a job there at 16, they turned me down..

It was easy. All I had to do was take of my Dave Grohl mask.

16-year-old here, how can I convince my mother to let me go see the Sound City Players in NYC next week?

Tell her Stevie Nicks will be there!
Q:
You're one of the most hilarious people I know. When will you host SNL / have your own comedy show / take over the word with your comedic wit?
I saw Foo Fighters perform in ATL Nov of 2011. Hands down the best concert I've ever been to. 3 hours of pure rock joy. I live in San Diego now; I hope to see you guys perform here in the future. Mad respect.
A:
Hosting SNL is the last item on my bucket list - so we'll see what happens

Q:
First off, thanks for being fucking amazing. I bought/downloaded Sound city and it was everything I'd thought it would be. It gave me hope for the future of music and more appreciation for its past. My girlfriend and I each have a question:
Me: Elton John commented that you are one of the most respected musicians out there, which I agree with. Does the pressure to keep the bar high ever get to you? Do you think about the opinions of millions of fans when you make a new album or do you just kind of say "fuck it" and do what you do?
Girlfriend: You were a great host on Chelsea Lately this week. Is that something you would ever consider doing permanently?
Thanks for being you.
A:
you: i do both. There is a lot of pressure for Foo Fighters to do well but it's one of the things that drives us to make great records. We still make each record like its our first or last.
Q:
Hey Dave, do you think Seattle will have another chance at influencing American and world music like it did in the 90s?
A:
I hope so. It will never be the same, but we'll see...

A:
Getting accepted into the Sundance Film Festival. That was huge.

Reading does rock! ive played that festival like 10 times!! waitt.. wat? 【←_←
Q:
You should play Wheels more often, It's too good of a song to not be played. Anyways, enjoy a picture of you with a cat
A:
What are you German? (The song is huge is Germany) (and only Germany)
Q:
Just curious Dave. How do you stay so humble, being that you are like the biggest rock star (in my book anyway) right now? And when will you tour again? And I cant wait for my copy of Sound City. Love you and all you do!!!
A:
How do I stay humble? Because I'm the best at being humble.
Q:
Weirdest thing you've ever eaten?
A:

Hey Dave, I saw you live at Leeds in August and you fucking rocked! I just wanted to know...what was it like making out with a sex doll on stage?It was fucking awesome!!
A:
Same as always. 【。。。
Q:
Hey Dave,
I caught a screening of Sound City and loved it. Totally inspired me to get back into creating music. It's a dream of mine to record to tape but I just don't have the funds. What would you say about artists who record at home on their laptops due to funds?
A:
There's nothing wrong with digital recording - just make sure it sounds like YOU.
Q:
Sith or Jedi?
A:
Jedi
Q:
Hi Mr Grohl, I'm - like most others here - a huge fan!
I have a few questions for you:
1) Now the Foos are on hiatus for a while, Sound City is out and ready to buy (which I plan to do soon) and QOTSA are working away, will there be room for, maybe, another Them Crooked Vultures outing? If not, then what can you tell us about the new Queens album?
2) What's your favourite album to chill/drink/work to?
3) After having a cameo role in The Muppets, how does it feel to be Animal's equal, given the pedigree of that character's origin?
A:
1) I don't know Ask Al. 2) Paris Texas Soundtrack 3) Animal has no equal, I was merely an impostor
Q:
Can we expect to see more Dave Grohl films in the future?
A:
Maaaybe. It depends on wether I find something as inspiring as the story of Sound City 【还会用链接打广告,呸呸呸
Q:
Hey Dave my question for you is, do you think "Grunge" will ever make a comeback? If so what are your thoughts on that?
A:
If you mean loud ass guitars, loud ass drums, and screaming ass vocals? That never went away ding dong.
Q:
What is one piece of advice you can give to people on their 20s trying to find a career that will support themselves without sacrificing their passions
A:
You will only be great at the things you love to do. Don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.【迷妹迷弟们快把这句话裱起来!
Q:
What's your favorite venue that you've ever played at?
A:
That would be probably be Wembley.
Q:
Which one of your songs means the most to you and why?
A:
Probably "Walk" - which i wrote for my daughter as I was teaching her to walk.
Q:
Dave, I really, truly admire all of your work. I mean, you were the drummer of arguably the biggest rock band of the 90s and are the guitar player/lead singer of one of the biggest bands of the 21st century, yet you still do good deeds for people, such as give a bartender a $1,000 tip after only one drink. Honestly, Dave, what keeps you grounded?
Also, what is your personal favorite Foos video?
A:
Foos video? White Limo
Q:
Want to play an acoustic set at our SXSW party?
(This is Consequence of Sound)
A:
Call me
Q:
Dave, first of all, loved you in The Moopets man. Two questions,
What is your guilty pleasure?
If you could form a super group of artists, who would it be?
A:
1.) I don't believe in guilty pleasures. I think you should like what you like, and like it. 2.) And my super duper group would be Them Crooked Vultures.
Q:
So are we ever going to see a Dave Grohl reggae album?
A:
I use to have to play reggae in my band Scream and I was never very good at it. - Dave Grohlion
Q:
2 Questions, one from me and one from my son. First my son. He is 5 and he loves 2 things in this world - Indiana Jones, and the Foo Fighters. He has been going to bed every night listening to “Wasting Light” and refuses to listen to anything else. When I found out you were doing an AMA, I asked him to think about what he would want to know from his favorite musician, and this was what he came up with:
Michael asks Dave anything
"What is your favorite Indiana Jones movie?"
Second question: Rock music is constantly evolving, and the Foo Fighters have found a way to stay at the leading edge of what defines rock. With all of the different styles of rock these days, what up and coming band do you think really represents rock and roll, and who do you hope to see carry the torch when you decide to pass it along?
A:
Thanks for the question Michael! My favorite Indiana Jones movie has to be Raiders of the Lost Ark because of the drinking scene.【对小孩就是要好一点- -
Q:
Is there a question u realy want to get asked but noone ever asked you that?
A:
Is Dave Grohl my real name?
Q:
How did you quit smoking?
A:
I stopped .. I just stopped.
Q:
I had the chance to see Sound City at Sundance, and I absolutely loved it.
My question is regarding the analog/digital subject. If it weren't for Pro Tools, Logic, etc., I wouldn't have had the chance to be where I am now working in the music business. Its not for lack of interest in recording in a studio, I just haven't had the opportunity. Working on that Neve would be a dream come true.
So, the question is, do you feel the role of technology has been important in opening up people to making music, that may not have had the opportunity otherwise? And, do you think its still important to learn the "old" ways in addition?
A:
https://soundcloud.com/soundcitymovie/the-role-of-technology
Q:
Dear Dave Grohl,
If I were at a Foo Fighters show and wished to propose to my special someone, would you help me out?
(Also, any chance that the Foos may come to Halifax, Nova Scotia someday?)
A:
You're on your own, pal. And yes, we'd love to come to Halifax.
Q:
SHIT I CANT THINK OF A QUESTION AND THIS IS MY ONLY CHANCE TO SPEAK TO DAVID FUCKING GROHL
FUCK
Edit: Uhhh If you could assemble a band to play with using any musicians from the past or present who would be in it and what would be your role?
EditEdit: ITS SOMETHING!

Q:
What is your opinion on modern music? What artists do you find being worthwhile listening to that have come out recently?
A:
http://youtu.be/7c4cDy0XQOM
【依旧不会扒视频.....大概说了I love modern music.There are a lot of modern musics I like.But I think the internet has helped musicians to become more independent.So that you can make music on your own,distribute it in a way that...you're independent of anybody else telling you what to do or how to do it.And that's what i think what music...when you let people/musicians/artists do... 【句号都是听不清楚的地方对不起TVT【站长英语不好轻拍【抱着头跑走
Q:
Hi Dave, what was it like working with Killing Joke in 2003, and is Jaz Coleman really as crazy as people and the media make him out to be? BTW great drumming on the album.
A:
That was an incredible experience, they have always been one of my favorite bands of all time Jaz isn't crazy... he's just 1000 times smarter than anyone else.
Q:
Hey Dave.
I met you backstage after the show you guys played at the Izod Center in New Jersey back in September 2011. I handed you a CD of original songs and you were a great guy about it. You opened it up and read the song titles and told me you'd check it out. It was really awesome of you to show so much interest.
I also started chemo two days after we met. You wished me good luck and every day in the hospital when I was down I thought, "I can do this, DAVE FUCKING GROHL wished me good luck." And sure enough, here I am.
It's a long shot but my question is do you remember me and did you ever listen to my CD? Thank you for doing the AMA and for supplying the world with copious amounts of amazing music.
You're my hero.
-Eric
Also, here's the badass picture we took: http://imgur.com/QpnJDCV
A:
Eric, where have you been man? Yes, I listened to your CD! I always listen to CDs bands give me. My question to you is how's the music coming along?

Q:
Hey Dave, the Almighty Rock God and King of Reddit,
At the Forum back in 2011, I remember you stopping at the beginning of "these days" to tell the audience that this was your most favorite song that you've ever written. I also got the chance to see the Foo's perform at Pukkelpop last year. You guys chose to dedicate "these days" to the victims of the Pukkelpop storm, so it obviously has great meaning.
1. What personal experiences led you to write "these days"?
2. How the hell did you end up hosting Chelsea Lately for a week?! I mean it was totally awesome, especially with Elton John and the D, but I never would have guessed to see you there. By the way, you rocked and need your own Dave Lately show!
3. Can you give us any tips on what awesome things might happen at SXSW since you are the keynote speaker this year?
4. Have you ever swallowed your gum while performing?
A:
Chelsea needed a week of binge drinking in London. So they called the second best binge drinker in town to fill in.
4.No, but it's been stuck in my hair a thousand times. 【哈哈哈哈
Q:
DO you ever get to jam Kyuss songs with Homme?!??! Id lose it!! Cant wait for new QOTSA esp after working with sir elton? HOW WAS THAT!?!

Nope. :( - Elton is great and works very hard in the studio. Check out what he had to say! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2-LKSHt0Uk【又是视频,懒得听了,去死吧
Q:
What is your favorite Fleetwood Mac song?
A:
Dreams
Q:
What's your favorite tattoo and why did you get it? What does it symbolize?]

Q:
Do you think the Foo Fighters will ever work with Steve Albini?
A:
I would love to. Steve is a good friend.
Q:
Is there any food that you wouldn't put bacon on?
Righteous hair, by the way.
A:
Nope
Q:
Hey Dave,
From the first day of Foo Fighters you've been using Gibson, why? Did differentiating yourself from the early "grunge" scene which had many Fender players have anything to do with it?
A:
Nope, I just loooove Gibsons.
Q:

Q:
Dave,
So many awesome people were featured in Sound City. Everyone who saw the first showing at the Belcourt in Nashville just loved it! Who do you wish could have been in Sound City Movie that wasn't? Perhaps someone that is no longer with us?
A:
i would have to say Pat Benatar. There weren't enough women in the Sound City movie and she's one of the greatest female rock singers of all time.
Q:
Would you ever consider collaborating with hip-hop artists? If so, any particular MCs/producers you would like to work with?
A:
LL Cool J's Unplugged is maybe the greatest rock/rap collaboration of all time, I could never top that. I do play on the new Rd Gld Grn record...
Q:
Testicles. That is all.
EDIT: David, please take a stroll over to reddit.com/r/foofighters. that is all.

Q:
Producing vs. Performing?
A:
Performing always.
Q:
One night, after going on and on about how awesome Dave Grohl was, my wife stopped me and said "You know, Dave Grohl poops just like the rest of us?"
So I got to know, do you really poop or was my wife trying to shut me up?
PS. Can I direct a music video for the next album? It's a life goal of mine and I can provide references. I will have even more references by the time the album is ready to come out. Please?
A:
I do. BIG ONES

A:
Hardy fuckin har
Q:
Hey Dave! Thanks so much for doing this AMA! The Foo Fighters was one of my first favorite bands (and still is), and you’ve done so many great things for the music industry. We all appreciate that you’re doing this! My questions:
What has been the most memorable moment in your entire music career so far?
As a musician, who do you admire the most?
I’m really confused about the status of the Foo Fighters right now. Are you guys on hiatus or are you planning on recording another album any time soon?
What was it like playing with Elton John on the new QOTSA album?
Any words of wisdom or advice for those of us who want to become good musicians?
Thanks, Dave! You’re the best! the best, the best…
A:
like pat smear says.. we're not on hiatus.. we're on "i hate us" and yes, we are already writing the new record.
Q:
I can never remember if it was you that I used to live about 3 blocks from a long time ago, or if it was Chris Cornell. If you lived in Seatac near Game Town in/around ~1990, I think I lost my baseball in your yard. Do you happen to still have that?
A:
what the fuck are you talking about?
Q:
Major respect to you and I'm a massive fan!
1)Hi Dave, you're obviously a kick-ass musician, but you also seem to be the best rock star dad in the world. How do you manage to do everything but seem to keep a great balance?
2) I loved Them Crooked Vultures, anything happening in that department soon?
3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXeEJFC_SK4 This was amazing, can you explain your thought process?
Thanks for the AMA Dave, keep making amazing music and take care!
A:
1) Umm... Having kids has changed the way we work as a band. It use to be Foo fighters was the most important thing in the world, but now our children are. So we make them first priority and they help us make better records.
Q:
Hey Dave, i could ask a million questions but after long thought I've dwindled it done to these three questions and it would mean the world to me just to have you respond
1) If you weren't in one of the greatest rock bands of recorded history, what would you be doing for a living?
2) If Kurt was still with us today, would nirvana still be together? or would you still have gone made the Foo Fighters?
3) In one word, how would you describe your journey from going from nothing to the biggest grunge band, back to almost nothing again, then becoming a legend of rock, and now making movies and playing in mega groups?
Thanks you for taking your time and doing this AMA, and not to mention you music! keep rocking Dave!
A:
1) I would be the greatest dry waller in recorded history.
2) Impossible to answer.
3) Lucky

Q:
Hi Dave! I have three questions to ask
• The opening song you played in Argentina with Nirvana in October of 1992, was that just a jam or was it a cover? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2cJ7_ly6hY (PS, this YouTube channel has a ton of old Nirvana videos, in case you wanna relive some memories ;P)
• Did you guys actually play a cover of We Will Rock You by Queen at this show? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu-EFWhq_8g
• How was your bum after the fire here? http://i.imgur.com/of1TjIx.jpg
A:
1) I don't have the foggiest recollection of that song, but my guess is that if you don't know it - I don't know it. 2) Did we? 3) Ask Steve Albini
Q:
Thanks for stopping by, Mr. Grohl. I saw Foo Fighters in Council Bluffs back in May 2011, and in KC a couple months later. Those concerts were the two best nights of my life, and made me want to form a band and make music. My questions are:
What advice do you have for young musicians/bands who want to "get out there"?
How come you only use the bridge pickup on your guitars?
Will the Sound City album be released on CD/vinyl any time soon?
Will there ever be another Probot album?
Do you have any more secret projects up your sleeve?
Thanks again for doing this, and thanks again for all the music you've made. It's gotten myself and many, many others through a lot.
A:
1.Get out there. Play show, write good songs. And be a great live band.
我也不知道这全不全,我觉得应该没有更多的回答了的问题了,就算有我也懒得复制粘贴了,我左手抽筋了,祝大家看得愉快

A:
So hard to play the drums when you're laughing hysterically and tears are rolling down you cheeks. Maybe the hardest gig ever. And: YES
Q:
What does it feel like to hear a crowd screaming and cheering because of YOUR music? I imagine it must feel so good...
A:
It's the best feeling in the world. We have a theory in the Foo Fighters that if you've ever taken an 8 x 10 photo, you want to be famous. So all that "I don't want to be famous BS can kiss my ass."
Q:
In a Yahoo Music chat in 1999 I asked:

At the time you said 'Scary Foo' what about 14 years later?
A:
Probably, Posh Foo..

Hey Dave, I’m from Northern Virginia, and you’re my hero. You’ve had such a huge impact and been a role model to me and others, which got me wondering: Who was your hero? I know in My Hero you refer to the ordinary heroes out there, but was there any specific person, musical or not, who made you a significantly better man?
A:
i think my biggest musical hero growing up was probably Ian MacKaye he set a great example for all of us local musicians. still to this day i see him as the best example of a right-on musician.
Q:

Q:
Do you remember Roll's Music in Falls Church? I think they're gone now, but I bought my first electric there and would constantly be there poking around as a kid. They'd always proudly brag that Nirvana's drummer used to shop there just a few years prior. Always wondered if it was true.

It is true, but when i applied for a job there at 16, they turned me down..

Q:
You're one of the most hilarious people I know. When will you host SNL / have your own comedy show / take over the word with your comedic wit?
I saw Foo Fighters perform in ATL Nov of 2011. Hands down the best concert I've ever been to. 3 hours of pure rock joy. I live in San Diego now; I hope to see you guys perform here in the future. Mad respect.

Hosting SNL is the last item on my bucket list - so we'll see what happens

Q:
First off, thanks for being fucking amazing. I bought/downloaded Sound city and it was everything I'd thought it would be. It gave me hope for the future of music and more appreciation for its past. My girlfriend and I each have a question:
Me: Elton John commented that you are one of the most respected musicians out there, which I agree with. Does the pressure to keep the bar high ever get to you? Do you think about the opinions of millions of fans when you make a new album or do you just kind of say "fuck it" and do what you do?
Girlfriend: You were a great host on Chelsea Lately this week. Is that something you would ever consider doing permanently?
Thanks for being you.
A:
you: i do both. There is a lot of pressure for Foo Fighters to do well but it's one of the things that drives us to make great records. We still make each record like its our first or last.
Q:
Hey Dave, do you think Seattle will have another chance at influencing American and world music like it did in the 90s?

A:
What are you German? (The song is huge is Germany) (and only Germany)
Q:
Just curious Dave. How do you stay so humble, being that you are like the biggest rock star (in my book anyway) right now? And when will you tour again? And I cant wait for my copy of Sound City. Love you and all you do!!!
A:
How do I stay humble? Because I'm the best at being humble.

Q:
Hey Dave,
I caught a screening of Sound City and loved it. Totally inspired me to get back into creating music. It's a dream of mine to record to tape but I just don't have the funds. What would you say about artists who record at home on their laptops due to funds?
A:
There's nothing wrong with digital recording - just make sure it sounds like YOU.
Q:
Sith or Jedi?
A:

Q:
Hi Mr Grohl, I'm - like most others here - a huge fan!
I have a few questions for you:
1) Now the Foos are on hiatus for a while, Sound City is out and ready to buy (which I plan to do soon) and QOTSA are working away, will there be room for, maybe, another Them Crooked Vultures outing? If not, then what can you tell us about the new Queens album?
2) What's your favourite album to chill/drink/work to?
3) After having a cameo role in The Muppets, how does it feel to be Animal's equal, given the pedigree of that character's origin?
A:
1) I don't know Ask Al. 2) Paris Texas Soundtrack 3) Animal has no equal, I was merely an impostor
Q:
Can we expect to see more Dave Grohl films in the future?
A:
Maaaybe. It depends on wether I find something as inspiring as the story of Sound City 【还会用链接打广告,呸呸呸
Q:
Hey Dave my question for you is, do you think "Grunge" will ever make a comeback? If so what are your thoughts on that?
A:
If you mean loud ass guitars, loud ass drums, and screaming ass vocals? That never went away ding dong.
Q:
What is one piece of advice you can give to people on their 20s trying to find a career that will support themselves without sacrificing their passions

You will only be great at the things you love to do. Don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.【迷妹迷弟们快把这句话裱起来!
Q:
What's your favorite venue that you've ever played at?
A:
That would be probably be Wembley.
Q:
Which one of your songs means the most to you and why?
A:
Probably "Walk" - which i wrote for my daughter as I was teaching her to walk.
Q:
Dave, I really, truly admire all of your work. I mean, you were the drummer of arguably the biggest rock band of the 90s and are the guitar player/lead singer of one of the biggest bands of the 21st century, yet you still do good deeds for people, such as give a bartender a $1,000 tip after only one drink. Honestly, Dave, what keeps you grounded?
Also, what is your personal favorite Foos video?
A:
Foos video? White Limo
Q:
Want to play an acoustic set at our SXSW party?
(This is Consequence of Sound)
A:

Dave, first of all, loved you in The Moopets man. Two questions,
What is your guilty pleasure?
If you could form a super group of artists, who would it be?
A:
1.) I don't believe in guilty pleasures. I think you should like what you like, and like it. 2.) And my super duper group would be Them Crooked Vultures.
Q:
So are we ever going to see a Dave Grohl reggae album?
A:
I use to have to play reggae in my band Scream and I was never very good at it. - Dave Grohlion
Q:
2 Questions, one from me and one from my son. First my son. He is 5 and he loves 2 things in this world - Indiana Jones, and the Foo Fighters. He has been going to bed every night listening to “Wasting Light” and refuses to listen to anything else. When I found out you were doing an AMA, I asked him to think about what he would want to know from his favorite musician, and this was what he came up with:
Michael asks Dave anything
"What is your favorite Indiana Jones movie?"
Second question: Rock music is constantly evolving, and the Foo Fighters have found a way to stay at the leading edge of what defines rock. With all of the different styles of rock these days, what up and coming band do you think really represents rock and roll, and who do you hope to see carry the torch when you decide to pass it along?
A:
Thanks for the question Michael! My favorite Indiana Jones movie has to be Raiders of the Lost Ark because of the drinking scene.【对小孩就是要好一点- -
Q:
Is there a question u realy want to get asked but noone ever asked you that?
A:
Is Dave Grohl my real name?
Q:
How did you quit smoking?
A:
I stopped .. I just stopped.
Q:
I had the chance to see Sound City at Sundance, and I absolutely loved it.
My question is regarding the analog/digital subject. If it weren't for Pro Tools, Logic, etc., I wouldn't have had the chance to be where I am now working in the music business. Its not for lack of interest in recording in a studio, I just haven't had the opportunity. Working on that Neve would be a dream come true.
So, the question is, do you feel the role of technology has been important in opening up people to making music, that may not have had the opportunity otherwise? And, do you think its still important to learn the "old" ways in addition?
A:
https://soundcloud.com/soundcitymovie/the-role-of-technology
Q:
Dear Dave Grohl,
If I were at a Foo Fighters show and wished to propose to my special someone, would you help me out?
(Also, any chance that the Foos may come to Halifax, Nova Scotia someday?)
A:
You're on your own, pal. And yes, we'd love to come to Halifax.
Q:
SHIT I CANT THINK OF A QUESTION AND THIS IS MY ONLY CHANCE TO SPEAK TO DAVID FUCKING GROHL

A:

【依旧不会扒视频.....大概说了I love modern music.There are a lot of modern musics I like.But I think the internet has helped musicians to become more independent.So that you can make music on your own,distribute it in a way that...you're independent of anybody else telling you what to do or how to do it.And that's what i think what music...when you let people/musicians/artists do... 【句号都是听不清楚的地方对不起TVT【站长英语不好轻拍【抱着头跑走

A:
That was an incredible experience, they have always been one of my favorite bands of all time Jaz isn't crazy... he's just 1000 times smarter than anyone else.
Q:
Hey Dave.
I met you backstage after the show you guys played at the Izod Center in New Jersey back in September 2011. I handed you a CD of original songs and you were a great guy about it. You opened it up and read the song titles and told me you'd check it out. It was really awesome of you to show so much interest.
I also started chemo two days after we met. You wished me good luck and every day in the hospital when I was down I thought, "I can do this, DAVE FUCKING GROHL wished me good luck." And sure enough, here I am.
It's a long shot but my question is do you remember me and did you ever listen to my CD? Thank you for doing the AMA and for supplying the world with copious amounts of amazing music.
You're my hero.
-Eric
Also, here's the badass picture we took: http://imgur.com/QpnJDCV

Q:
Hey Dave, the Almighty Rock God and King of Reddit,
At the Forum back in 2011, I remember you stopping at the beginning of "these days" to tell the audience that this was your most favorite song that you've ever written. I also got the chance to see the Foo's perform at Pukkelpop last year. You guys chose to dedicate "these days" to the victims of the Pukkelpop storm, so it obviously has great meaning.
1. What personal experiences led you to write "these days"?
2. How the hell did you end up hosting Chelsea Lately for a week?! I mean it was totally awesome, especially with Elton John and the D, but I never would have guessed to see you there. By the way, you rocked and need your own Dave Lately show!
3. Can you give us any tips on what awesome things might happen at SXSW since you are the keynote speaker this year?
4. Have you ever swallowed your gum while performing?
A:
Chelsea needed a week of binge drinking in London. So they called the second best binge drinker in town to fill in.
4.No, but it's been stuck in my hair a thousand times. 【哈哈哈哈
Q:

Dave,
So many awesome people were featured in Sound City. Everyone who saw the first showing at the Belcourt in Nashville just loved it! Who do you wish could have been in Sound City Movie that wasn't? Perhaps someone that is no longer with us?

i would have to say Pat Benatar. There weren't enough women in the Sound City movie and she's one of the greatest female rock singers of all time.
Q:
Would you ever consider collaborating with hip-hop artists? If so, any particular MCs/producers you would like to work with?

Q:
Hey Dave! Thanks so much for doing this AMA! The Foo Fighters was one of my first favorite bands (and still is), and you’ve done so many great things for the music industry. We all appreciate that you’re doing this! My questions:
What has been the most memorable moment in your entire music career so far?
As a musician, who do you admire the most?
I’m really confused about the status of the Foo Fighters right now. Are you guys on hiatus or are you planning on recording another album any time soon?
What was it like playing with Elton John on the new QOTSA album?
Any words of wisdom or advice for those of us who want to become good musicians?
Thanks, Dave! You’re the best! the best, the best…
A:
like pat smear says.. we're not on hiatus.. we're on "i hate us" and yes, we are already writing the new record.
Q:
I can never remember if it was you that I used to live about 3 blocks from a long time ago, or if it was Chris Cornell. If you lived in Seatac near Game Town in/around ~1990, I think I lost my baseball in your yard. Do you happen to still have that?
A:
what the fuck are you talking about?
Q:
Major respect to you and I'm a massive fan!
1)Hi Dave, you're obviously a kick-ass musician, but you also seem to be the best rock star dad in the world. How do you manage to do everything but seem to keep a great balance?
2) I loved Them Crooked Vultures, anything happening in that department soon?
3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXeEJFC_SK4 This was amazing, can you explain your thought process?
Thanks for the AMA Dave, keep making amazing music and take care!
A:
1) Umm... Having kids has changed the way we work as a band. It use to be Foo fighters was the most important thing in the world, but now our children are. So we make them first priority and they help us make better records.
Q:
Hey Dave, i could ask a million questions but after long thought I've dwindled it done to these three questions and it would mean the world to me just to have you respond
1) If you weren't in one of the greatest rock bands of recorded history, what would you be doing for a living?
2) If Kurt was still with us today, would nirvana still be together? or would you still have gone made the Foo Fighters?
3) In one word, how would you describe your journey from going from nothing to the biggest grunge band, back to almost nothing again, then becoming a legend of rock, and now making movies and playing in mega groups?
Thanks you for taking your time and doing this AMA, and not to mention you music! keep rocking Dave!
A:
1) I would be the greatest dry waller in recorded history.
2) Impossible to answer.
3) Lucky

• The opening song you played in Argentina with Nirvana in October of 1992, was that just a jam or was it a cover? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2cJ7_ly6hY (PS, this YouTube channel has a ton of old Nirvana videos, in case you wanna relive some memories ;P)
• Did you guys actually play a cover of We Will Rock You by Queen at this show? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu-EFWhq_8g
• How was your bum after the fire here? http://i.imgur.com/of1TjIx.jpg
A:
1) I don't have the foggiest recollection of that song, but my guess is that if you don't know it - I don't know it. 2) Did we? 3) Ask Steve Albini
Q:
Thanks for stopping by, Mr. Grohl. I saw Foo Fighters in Council Bluffs back in May 2011, and in KC a couple months later. Those concerts were the two best nights of my life, and made me want to form a band and make music. My questions are:
What advice do you have for young musicians/bands who want to "get out there"?
How come you only use the bridge pickup on your guitars?
Will the Sound City album be released on CD/vinyl any time soon?
Will there ever be another Probot album?
Do you have any more secret projects up your sleeve?
Thanks again for doing this, and thanks again for all the music you've made. It's gotten myself and many, many others through a lot.
A:
1.Get out there. Play show, write good songs. And be a great live band.
