I also found his outlook on life and grief is very inspiring. I love how much he loves fatherhood and how much he appreciates his Mother.
I loved learning about his story and in turn the stories of Scream, Nirvana, and the Foo Fighters. But I was surprised that he went into more detail about his time with in Scream then in the Foo Fighters. Maybe he is tired of talking about it? There were many stories about him interacting with famous celebrities. I don’t think I learned about his current band mates until the end of the book.
My only gripe about this book was the amount of times he repeated himself. Like there were very specific sentences be reused multiple times within a chapter. Looking back on it, perhaps it was an attempt to insert a “chorus” but it came off as irritating to me. It comes off as an author that doesn’t trust the reader to understand. Instead the author is really trying to make a point or force a moral into the story.
He’s obviously not a writer but he is a great storyteller. He achieved what he set out to do. That’s a small style choice I didn’t enjoy although I understand the intended effect.
I came out of this book with a lot of admiration for Dave Grohl. I really enjoyed listening to his audiobook and would recommend it to fans who already enjoy his work.
