It’s fair to say that when you’ve been in two of the biggest rock bands in the history of music, you’re going to have some stories to tell! It makes sense then, that Dave Grohl has decided to write a new book, which documents his life in music.
Grohl’s new memoir is called The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music, and will leave no stone unturned. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters… the list goes on, the rock legend explained.
Dave Grohl: The Storyteller will be hitting store shelves in the very near future. The book comes on the heels of Grohl s Instagram account Dave s True Stories, which he launched last year. The book will build on the platform with even more “tales of life and music” for fans of the musician.
“So, I’ve written a book,” Grohl shared with his fans. “Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities (‘It’s a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!’), I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand.

There is no exact roadmap on how to become a songwriter, but Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl provides a pretty detailed description of how it happened for him in a teaser for his brand new book, The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music, that is en route for an Oct. 5 release.
In the trailer below, Grohl goes in depth on the evolution of how his own therapeutic experiences with a tape recorder eventually led him down the road to becoming one of rock s most successful musicians. Check 1-2. I turned out the lights, pressed record on the Realistic CTR cassette recorder sitting on a window sill sitting beside my bed and as my head hit the pillow I began to speak. What was one a device used only for homemade mixtapes for my favorite punk rock bands, it now served as my own personal therapist, an electronic ear to fill with my deepest secrets and childhood anxieties, says Grohl.
