Unit 8 - Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl(David Eric Grohl) is a rock musician, singer and songwriter. He is actually in an INCREDIBLE band called Foo Fighters.
When Dave was a young child, his family relocated from Warren, Ohio, to Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, DC. Three years later, his parents divorced, and Dave grew up living with his mother.
At the age of twelve, Dave began learning to play the guitar. He played in bands with friends.
While in high school, Grohl played in several local bands, including a stint on guitar in a band called Freak Baby. While playing in Freak Baby, Grohl had been teaching himself to play drums by banging on various items in his bedroom. When Freak Baby kicked out its bass player, Grohl decided to switch to drums, and the new band called themselves Mission Impossible. During his developing years as a drummer, Grohl cited John Bonham as his greatest influence, and eventually had Bonham's three-circle logo tattooed on his wrist. Mission Impossible later rebranded themselves Fast before breaking up, after which Grohl joined the post-punk-influenced hardcore punk band Dain Bramage.
After this, Dave started playing drums on Nirvana, but then Kurt Cobain died and after a while he started playing guitar and singing on Foo Fighters.
I admire Dave Grohl because of the music he makes, sometimes listening to it cheers me up. But most important, I admire Dave because of the cool person he is. Even with strangers Dave is funny and he is really cool. He is also a good person, he is married and has 1 daughter. He plays the guitar, drums, bass, and the piano
