He explains that when everything shut down in March 2020, he nearly lost his mind because he missed the connections with people. After all, it’s extremely difficult to be cynical about the writer of a book who himself seems to be the antithesis of cynical.Īnd the man sure can a tell a story! Grohl tells us he definitely wrote this book himself (no ghostwriter!). But instead, because it is Dave Grohl, and because we know music is quite literally his life and that he just seems like an affable, genuine dude, it's pretty easy to love this book. Here's the thing about this book: If you didn’t know much at all about Dave Grohl, you’d probably read his book as, at best corny and at worst just god-awfully sappy. My favorite parts of the book are when he is assuring us how gobstopped he is to meet his musical idols, from Iggy Pop to Little Richard to AC/DC, even after he himself has achieved no small measure of fame. Rather, the focus is just how much Dave Grohl loves music.
Yes, his time in Nirvana and his relationship with Kurt Cobain is in there, but it's not the focus. The Storyteller is an episodic memoir about Dave Grohl's life, his fascination with music, and his rise to become one of the more recognizable rock stars of all time.
