      Him, and Keanu, have always had a special place in my heart. I find it very fitting that they referred to Dave, as Keanu, in the beginning of the video.
      They are both really good guys with enormous hearts. They're very humble, easy going, kind, and giving men.
      They both take the time to be there for others, and they try to help people. They do not do it for recognition, or publicity. They truly help out of the goodness of their hearts.
      Earlier this year, Dave took his smoker to a homeless shelter, and spent over 24 hours cooking, and feeding, everyone. Back in 2018, when California was engulfed in wildfires (yet again) he barbecued for the firefighters. He gave a fan his pair of orthopedic shoes when he saw her on crutches. My favorite Dave moment was when he saw a blind boy at one of his shows. He bought the boy, and the boys dad, on stage and let the boy play on his guitar...I feel the list of good deeds is endless.
      Keanu Reeves is also an amazing human. He gave his stunt team, from the Matrix, Harleys. He gave Rolex watches to the people he worked with on the set of John Wick. When he heard a crew member, on one of his films, was having money trouble, he gave him a $20,000 Christmas bonus. He regularly rides the subway and will give up his seat to others (elderly, pregnant women, disabled people, etc...). He sat with a homeless man before, and talked with him for hours, because the man just needed someone to talk to. He donated over 70% of hold matrix salary to cancer research. He's done so much more too.
      Both men have also donated millions upon millions to various charities.

    I saw Dave outside of a restaurant one time, chasing his daughter around a fountain, laughing with her, picking her up, and living completely in the moment. Yes, he's a rock god, but it was obvious that before that, he was a great dad. I would love to meet him sometime, but I never considered interrupting him while he was with his family.

      I'm a massive Foo Fighter fan aka Dave Grohl fan. So, when I can't sleep, I'll just pop down the CZcams rabbit hole. I know that I can't watch a concert because there's no way in hell that I'll even get a nap. But, I love to watch interviews, biographies, and historical shit. The one consistent thing that I've heard about Dave is that he's the nicest guy in rock and roll. Over and over and over again, I've even looked for bad things that Dave has ever done and you get NOTHING! The only thing that I hope and pray for, is that if he still smokes cigarettes, please stop. I don't want anything to happen to him or anyone in the band, especially if it's something that he can control. Just listen to Jon Bon Jovi, whether you're a fan or not, listen to him a few years ago and listen to him today. I know he had surgery on his throat, not sure why, nodules maybe, but smoking for years didn't help.

    Dave is the ultimate Everyman. One of those rare people who becomes wildly successful but never ever stops being as excited about what he does as when he dreamed about doing it. His greatness is something everyone can aspire to because rather than seeing his own greatness he seems to always approach everyone else with the attitude of "Oh my god I'm having such a great time. Want to come along?" His joyful passion about music and life in general is contagious. I hope he is able to keep rocking for decades to come. The world is a better place because Dave Grohl is in it.

    I did security for a Foo Fighters show that was a "fan club only" thing, back in 2008 at the Troubadour (they called it the "Foobadour" for that gig) in LA, & he told the funniest stories on stage. I'm not a fan of his music, but, I like him as a person. He's cool AF, & this interview just proves it.

      I know exactly what show you're talking about!! I didn't get in but I stayed the entire time outside and got to meet him + the band after the show. Most epic night of my teenage life.

    This is true. I rocked with Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, and Them Crooked Vultures because of Dave. Might not be of the GOAT drummers, but absolutely one of the GOAT rock stars of the last 30 years. Cool as shit.

    • @aerynsunx

      Usually because your heros normally dont live up to your hopes if how they really are..dave on the other hand is better..kinder..humbler than one would think he would be...makes one want to be a better person.

    I fucking looooove Dave Grohl. I came to the Foo Fighters late admittedly and then found out he was in Nirvana and I've been hooked ever since. Rope gets me through some tough days at work. Love ya Dave! From a black girl who fucks with you heavy!
