review: 'The Storyteller' by Dave Grohl


Dave Grohl (Dave Grohl) is the famous drummer of the rock band Nirvana, famous for his debut album "Never Mind", and dominated the international music world in the 1990s and beyond. Later, he continued to collaborate with the best names in the music industry and left an indelible mark on the music industry.

The "storyteller" tried to tell the most fascinating fragments of his journey, which turned him into the current "rock star".

Groer was born and raised in the suburbs of Virginia. He was such a hyperactive child that, in retrospect, he highly suspected that he suffered from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when he was young. His family is not perfect because his parents divorced, and after he dropped out of school to join the band, his father severed ties with him.

His journey with the first band he joined forms a large part of this book, describing his entry into the "rock punk" universe and how he ventured to finally hear Nirvana and their interest in owning him. His friendship with vocalist Kurt Cobain, and the grief he experienced when he witnessed Cobain's drug use and final suicide became the center stage of Nirvana's story, followed by Foo Fighters' first album after the band's connection.

This book is full of warmth, humor, adventure, heartbreak, and the joy of a new beginning. For those who wish to witness Groer’s growth years, it is a perfect book. These years will eventually interact with the rock world and him. His journey after Nirvana is unbreakable, including love, family, director's documentary series, and other extraordinary milestones he has achieved.

What critics think of this book:

Kitty Empire wrote for The Guardian, “Grohl is so rock and roll that he fell off the stage and broke his leg during the Foo Fighters show in Sweden in 2015, then went to the hospital and returned to complete the show.”

Tony Clayton-Lea writes for The Irish Times, "Be prepared for a smooth, well-telled story."
