    For some reason the thought of David Bowie emailing Dave Grohl "Happy New Year!" in the middle of June is making me laugh so hard right now. Those must have been some priceless email exchanges.
  • @Gigi-fv9ky
    I miss David Bowie being in the world. Loved the great stories. Dave is such a great guy.
  • @ww7883
    Grohl's positivity is mind blowing and inspiring.
  • @ella17734
    I bet David Bowie had a great time messing with Dave in the emails.
  • 16 Grammys!?!? CRAZY! Well deserved. I mean come on, from Nirvana, to Foo Fighters... To Queens of the Stone Age... from Guitar to drums to vocals... MUSICIANSHIP is the theme here. He's a GOAT forreal. Congrats Dave, and thank you for staying true to the art. Musically and sonically. 👌🏽
  • @MaximTendu
    -Did you ever work with Bowie or meet him?" -I did. A long, long time ago. And you? - Who knows? Not me. I never lost control.
  • @Procrastinitise
    Jimmy: "Someone called it your party record" Dave: "Yes, me 5 seconds ago...are you even listening?"
  • @sonjal.8510
    "Whatever you do, don't go pee in the bushes, cause there's people in the bushes." 😂
  • @pameladeda
    I watched Bowie’s 50th birthday concert via pay per view. Had a party to watch it. Incredible show. Dave was a highlight. He played drums with 2 other drummers. Amazing
  • @sadchild70
    At least he didn't give you the response he gave Coldplay: “It’s not a very good song, is it?”
  • Dave Grohl is the kind of person you just can't be in a bad mood around. He's the coolest.
  • Dave: "Let´s make it a party record!" Jimmy (seconds later): "Someone has called it your party record..."
  • @Lokbatch
    I could sit for days just listening to Dave telling stories like these!
  • @missmiou6273
    ''what ever you do don't pee in the bushes, cause there people in the bushes'' OMG that is the best line ever
  • @susankealey2500
    David’s stories are so good! He could write a book about his experiences, best seller for sure! New album rocks!!!
  • Dave sitting at 606 in front of his portrait in a zoom interview is a total power move.
