    Dave isn't overrated. He is loved. There is a large difference. To be loved you must love. Never has he called himself the best. He will openly tell interviewees that he is blessed and lucky.

    Dave Grohl, Chad Smith, Jimmy Chamberlin, Sean Kinney and Matt Cameron are the legends of drums.

    Love how Anderson Cooper was not expecting Dave to pound the drums in that small space and just blinks and leans back trying to cover his shock. lol
