I listened to the audiobook. It is narrated by the author and I just loved it. I can't say that I was a Foo Fighters fan before I started the book (or even knew a lot about Dave Grohl) - not because I didn't like them (him)but just because I haven't had much exposure to them (him).

It took me a bit longer to listen to it than it should have because, quite often, after listening to certain stories, I foun ...more

Beautifully well-written memoir. He weaves the stories together with heart and doesn't shy away from uncomfortable topics. I've been a huge fan of the Foo Fighters for years and will always sing along when a Nirvana song comes on the radio. It's a pleasant surprise that Dave Grohl is also an exceptional writer.
