Details of suicide are not discussed; impact of drug use; there are several injuries, including a list of gruesome ones from Grohl's childhood, as well as at least one fight; medical content is the primarily the result ofuranaishi's review against another edition

maeverose's review against another edition
3.5
I read half of it physically and the second half I listened to the audiobook while also physically reading. I feel like that’s the best way to do it so you can both hear him tell you his stories while also seeing the photos included in the book (if you care about that. I thought they were fun). The audiobook also has an extra story at the end that isn’t in the physical book.
It’s very well written, I was actually surprised how much I liked his writing style. He really put his personality into it. I’d recommend this to anyone who likes Dave Grohl, is interested in reading about band life and someone slowly making their way to fame, or just if you like celebrity memoirs in general. If you’re a Nirvana or Foo Fighters fan, there isn’t a whole lot of focus on that stuff, it’s more just about his life overall. They’re both talked about of course but it’s not a big part of the book. I think you would also appreciate it a lot more if you grew up in the 70s or just listen to a lot of bands from the 60s/70s/80s.. Lots of references that went over my head, I wont lie (gen z here). A lot of the stories are about him meeting various idols of his, which got a bit redundant for me after a while. Surprisingly my favorite stories were the ones about his family and relationship with his daughters. I don’t usually care to read domestic stuff but you can tell how much he loves his family and I found those stories to be very heartwarming. He seems like a really nice and optimistic person.
