Since it is Dave Grohl’s birthday soon. Well today in Australia. I thought I would do a post dedicated to him. Just in case there is anyone out there who doesn’t know who he is, he is lead singer and guitarist of a band called Foo Fighters. He started the band in the mid nighties after the lead singer of his previous band, in which he played the drums, committed suicide. That band was called Nirvana. The lead singer, Kurt Cobain.

Dave turned 46 on January 14 and here is a video of how he celebrated his birthday this year.

As I said earlier, Dave was the drummer for Nirvana. He wasn’t the first but he, in my opinion, the best. He also plays drums in a number of other bands, including ones that he formed, as way of preventing from getting bored with the Foo Fighters.
And he’s amazing at it.

Here is a video of him playing the drums in 1988 at 19 years old with a band called Scream.

He is a proud dad. Here is a video of him being interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres about being a parent.

Dave is an all round nice guy who looks after his fans at concerts.

He saved a kid from crushed between the crowd and the security fence at the front during a Them Crooked Vultures concert. Then he let the kid and his watch from the side of stage.

He broke up a fight that started in the crowd at a Foo Fighters concert. Worried about the safety of his fans and probably slightly annoyed that this guy wasn’t just enjoying the music like everybody else, he made the guy leave. Warning there is a bit of swearing.

He is an amazing front man. His connection with the fans is obvious in this video of when Foo Fighters played at Wembley Stadium June 2008. He swears a little in this one too but I means, it’s rock and roll.

Dave Grohl is a real, true musician and is such a nice guy, that he deserves all the years he has had success and many more.

Happy Birthday Dave Grohl.

Love
