    Rest in Peace to this wonderful woman. I'm so glad she got to enjoy the sunshine of her son's success that she is hugely responsible for. Good on Dave for taking her on the ride!
  • @phoebsc5993
    I love the way that Dave walks out on the stage with his Mom...arm in arm. A man who respects his Mom like this, is a good man!

    Rest In Peace to a legend that raised Dave to what he is today…
  • Dude, when Dave Grohl grabs a pair of sticks and starts hittin the drums, you dont go to commercials....
  • @codyfinnell9581
    Imagine having such a receptive and open minded mother. Truly a blessing.
  • @MasterPpv
    Gotta love Dave, man. One of the chillest and most honest dudes to ever make it this big. Thank goodness he's still around doing his thing.
  • @willanderson571
    leaves stage and immediately gets on the drums. Classic grohl
  • RIP Virginia. She let Dave fly and he’s flown high. May this earth have more mothers like her.
  • @redjay7785
    She's the reason he's always been so well adjusted. He's lucky to have a such a great parent.
  • @arabwaluigi5248
    I saw the foo fighters perform while he had a broken leg, so he was sitting in this giant "guitar throne." Still put on a hell of a performance, better than most other bands I've seen.
  • @jeffbrown8117
    I had no idea she passed away around the same time as Taylor. Man. Losing both of them in such a short period. Dave is such a strong person. Been through a lot. His mother definitely had a hand in that.
  • @charliep123
    There should be a whole show of interviewing celebrities and their parents
  • @pincmin
    It's depressing that every time Dave Grohl is interviewed there's a "let's talk about Kurt Cobain's death" moment.

    Dave Grohl's upcoming Mother's Day card: "Dear mom, you're the best, the best, the best, the best of moms."
  • @FelixRosas10
    I wish he could get through one interview without Kurt coming up. I love Kurt and Nirvana but damn, let the man move on.
  • @aninhuman
    if music had a cool uncle, that would be dave grohl
