Dave is actually a great story teller if Howard would actually let him speak
It is mildly infuriating, but Howard's pretty damn good at getting people to open up and give honest answers. I think he'd be a good interrogator!
This is true... But Stern knows what he is doing. Nobody better at getting the story out of super stars
Love your pfp
Well, he's asking a lot of questions people want to know and time is limited
He’s trying to see the real him and get real answers out of that goofy
Grohl does great with the 2 seconds he gets to answer each question
Quick time events
You said everything.
Stern has a very un gentle way of discussing emotional trauma with someone who lived it.
So true
thats what i was thinking!!! "When he killed himself..."
It’s been a long time.
when I'm big and famous I'll refuse invitations to Howard Stern's show 😤
@@brunsomarrr you dont ever have to worry about it my friend
"yeh but he was in a band with Lennon and McCartney, and i was in a band with Kurt"
Lovely thing to say.
Taylor probably sat there thinking the exact same thing about Grohl
Poor ringo. Just in the back with his drums.
That would make Kurt so happy
He's right and I think you can tell he doesn't understand why people martyr Kurt is the point.
Tesla Death Ray I don’t think he meant in the way you’re taking it. It’s peculiar what you’ll say on the fly when someone is lobbing multiple questions at you . Dave has a lot of respect for Kurt
He really handles those question well.
Not his first rodeo
I'm sure he's had lots of practice
Kurt offing himself was the best thing that ever happened to Dave
howard was basically throwing questions at dave like he was a dart board
If it wasn't the controversial Howard Stern (who he probably also knows anyway), he would've been like "Wtf is your problem, dude?".
Someone said it’s not a interview w Dave unless someone aggressively brings up Kurt
alejandro vasquez you know what though.. he expects it .. he knows ppl want to know
There was a time Dave wouldn’t allow any questions about Kurt or Nirvana during early Foo Fighters interviews. But time heals all wounds, later said go ahead you can ask me any questions about Kurt. I don’t mind anymore.
I felt like the older Uncle when Kurt died. All my friends were “Publishing Zines and raging against machines” when I walked up to the hangout porch on a idle sunny afternoon and delivered the news. Looking back it was fandom mourning, not like their best friend died which is how they took it.
I said it. It was me.
It has to get tiring, but it is also inevitable if the interview is discussing Dave Grohl's entire career.
Dave knew his place and stuck to it, that's a real pro in those scenarios.
Exactly.
Yep. A rare find in the music business at the entry level. But it becomes commonplace with the successful session musicians since most know how to stay in their lane.
He didn't need to try and take control.. I don't see how it could be hard to comprehend... He's a solid dude
it's one thing to stay in your place when you have nothing, it's another thing to stay in your place with a mind like his. a professional in its purest form
Yep. Well said.
Dave: “What was the last thing the drummer said before he got kicked out? I gotta song I think we should play”
Taylor: *nervous laughter*
Phil Collins has entered the chat.
@@jakestockton4808and Don Henley too
Hi it's Peter Criss
Holy-Rapid-Fire-Questions-Batman!
Lol for reals
That's Howard for you
I just want to comment cause our profile pictures kinda go together
right?
I feel like the clip is edited down to cut the answers shorter than how he actually delivered them, but yeah, it's a bit too fast.
I'm so thankful Dave Grohl didn't do the drugs.
KK Bing Dave is so right about how non-drug users in the music world are shunned, though I know he didn’t use the word “shun” but that’s exactly what is.
FRESH POTS! ʕ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°ʔ
no longer does drugs, but he did do drugs (stopped when he was 20)
I'm so thankful drugs didn't do the Dave Grohl.
It wasn’t the drugs. It was surrounding yourself/ marrying a bipolar crazy person who had no control and letting that influence you to chase a high. If kurt just chilled with a buzz and had discipline it wouldn’t have gone bad. But instead his life spun out and he was being self destructive & probably loved escaping through nodding off
Can’t imagine what Dave is going through with the loss of Taylor
Probably the same thing everyone else is going through when they lose a loved one..
lol
Just heartbreaking to lose someone so suddenly.
More money from the devil after sacrifice another band member
@@Chopper140 this is a certified tinfoil hat moment
Wow. I love Dave’s straight forwardness. I respect the man respecting the way Cobain worked and I’m glad he got to become his own man in many ways.
For sure, and honestly, it has a lot to do with Howard's ability to interview people. He is one of the very very best interviewers ever. He asks all the deepest questions and in a way that the guests just feel comfortable answering. They don't feel like they are being grilled and interrogated, but that this guy (Stern) is super interested in what I have to say.
I'm not a Foos fan but to describe their success as ''a miracle'' is a bit much. They obviously worked really hard at it.
@@Em4gdn1m I'd like to add that Howard Stern is brutally honest about himself. Thereby they know he's legit.
..my like is number 1000!!wow
I'm just a dude, respecting a dude, respecting another dude!
"In a way, his death liberated you." I'm sorry what?
May not have been the most sensitive way to say it, but I can see his point. We didn't hear some of George Harrison's best work (like All Things Must Pass) until he was "liberated" from the Beatles.
What was hard to understand?
@@MrOctober44 it's not hard to understand it's just a very disrespectful way to talk to someone whose friend killed himself
It’s not the greatest way of saying it, but it’s definitely true.
@@DevinLatulippe no, bcs they would of split anyway so he would of indeed been liberated
I can tell from Taylor’s quiet , calm demeanour that he brought a lot to the band ; in the same way Dave brought a similar energy to Nirvana
Now Taylor has passed
RIP Taylor 💔
no lol
Dave is on record saying that Taylor was his soul twin
Good observation 👍
Howard made ME feel anxious. Wow, he's an intense interviewer.
Secretly, Taylor is like yes yes! Keep asking this questions I’ve always wanted to know!!
Exactly
I think he is sick of listening about Nervana...
Even sitting in the almost kindergarten story time pose 😂😂😂 I can just imagine him being the type of dude that’s like “god I wanna know so bad but I’ll never ask him”
Thought the same exact thing as I was watching him intently staring at Dave answer the questions
Astute observation. Stern is very good at getting to the heart of the matter. Junkies live in their own world, totally separate from non-junkies. What Dave went through only he knows. He came out of it stronger, and built something new from the ground up.
Great interview, I just wish she would give him an extra two seconds to finish saying what he has to say
I commend Dave for his patience
I would've lost it at how rude and disrespectful Howard was being
What are you talking about? That how he interviews and he has proven he knows how to get the story out. Where's your talk show? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@@justinsmith4562 ha?
I love how disrespect is taken it makes me feel interesting.
@@justinsmith4562hahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaghahahahahahahahahahahagahhahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhaahhahahahhahahahha
All these years as a fan of Nirvana and the Foos and never seen Dave talking bout Nirvana/Kurt so open. Love this.
"But he was in a band with Lennon and McCartney"
Best answer EVER!
Stern had the balls to ask some great questions. I just wish he'd given Grohl the chance to elaborate a little more on them than what he did. Stern rapid fired a bunch of good questions in a row.
He needed to slow down
And he did it so... Sternly lol
Yeah, that last question especially I would have loved for more elaboration
Its an interrogation tactic. If you ask a lot of questions quickly they dont have time to think and give a diplomatic answer.
It fucking pissed me off Dave never got to actually talk
Dave really handles these questions well, I didn’t like how they asked them They could have been so much more respectful.
People forget these Musicians and Comedians are very clever.
Howard absolutely dominates this conversation.... only because Dave has such patience did it go anywhere....
Dave's top three questions
1 - who you working with these days?
2 - So, Foo's have a new album coming out?
3 - what was it like being in Nirvana?
Space Alien Jesus “You know that other band you were. You know, the much, much better one?” Hahaha
And the first two questions aren't even honest questions, they're just a segue to #3
Kinda wish we'd get a few more questions of his pre-Nirvana days, I didn't look into a lot of interviews so maybe someone asked and I didn't see it.
@@pandemic7 lol
@@JeremyGalloway very true
Lol
You can tell even today when Kurt died that Krist changed forever. It's like losing your other half and both Krist and Kurt were fighting at the airport for Kurt to get rehab. That death shocked Krist into being sober because when you saw him in the 94 MTV music awards he looked like a completely different person.
Well said Taylor
ahahahahahah
Ok, I laughed
"So when Kurt dies"
"So after Kurt killed himself"
"So if Kurt hadn't killed himself would you...."
There's no holdin' baaack for me nooooooow!!!
Damn dude chill with the questions and let the man speak.
Howard is so damn personal its so crazy.. I mean I love it but damn..
The thing though, dave never talks about this stuff, Howard is perfect for this!
That’s why he’s great
I love how personal he gets but I would never have the balls to ask people some of the questions he asks
Dave is virtually the entire world's only link to the "superstar" that was adored and loved. It's natural to be curious about the feelings and emotions that led to something so tragic and shocking.
Yeah but they know going in that Howard's gonna be asking shit like this.
Damn Howard don't hold back with the questions.
Ha. Has Howard ever held back?
Have to give Howard props...he asks the questions we want to know, and does it in a way that the guest answers them truthfully.
Howard has a way of asking the right questions and getting good solid answers; his technique is flawless...... he makes his guests feel at ease, cracks some jokes..... and asks the hard hitting questions. For all his crass and stupid sexist s**t in the past.... he’s a genius at interviewing people.
I was just thinking the same thing. Lol
He continues to ask questions to get further and further. He's actually a pretty good interviewer imo.
I think because he's truly interested. People here are complaining that he is firing off questions, but I see it more like the questions are popping up in his head and he's just letting go.
@@dennisjr77 - He just says what's on his mind, that's why his career works for him.
Howard really doesn't intend to be an asshole, he just wants to get to the real stuff. No pussyfooting around.
It's like the people who don't like smalltalk. - How's the weather?... Fuck that. - Who did you sleep with in the past month?
@@dennisjr77 What are you talking about? Very bad interviewing technique. Firing off questions like that and then answering for them or leading them off the path towards the interviewer's own assumptions is just plain sloppy technique.
"How was your day Dennis? Was it raining or nothing but blue skies today? You're probably relieved it isn't raining, huh? Do you feel glum when it's overcast and raining outside? Because I could see how it could start to get to you, right? Is it getting to you already? How long has it made you feel so glum?
Grohl wrote and sang 'marigold', the b-side of heart shaped box. I'm sure he was given more than one dig at a song, but none of them made it onto an album. Marigold is a lovely wee song, too.
Howard, damn! Went all automatic machinegun with the questions. But man do I love it.
That's the shock jock mentality, anything that can stir things up.
this is why he is the best interviewer !
He was doing too much
What’s that last thing the drummer said before he was kicked out.
I got a song I’ve written I think we should do.
taylor looks around nervously lol
Hey, here's a drummer joke-
What does a stripper do with her asshole before work?
* she drops him off at rehearsal!*
ex-boyfriend who used to play bass had a joke he would tell all the time: What's a musician without a girlfriend? Ans: Homeless. // I never thought it was funny.
It's weird but Dave is actually right as it relates to drummers lol.
Don’t leave me drownin in your Sunday raiiiiinnnn
Funnily enough one of the things that got me loving music again after Kurt's death was the foo fighters first album which Dave did pretty much on his own. Dave is still my favourite living rock star to this day
I can't believe how gentle Howard Stern is with these boys!
what an odd way of words.
@@username4441 Sarcasm? ….I hope…
Dave is just a down to earth guy and he’s had an amazing career
N still does
right? your career is over, then you go do it again....
Howard likes to claim he’s such a great interviewer but he never shuts up
Anybody else surprised that he handled those questions as well as he did...I’ve lost people as most of us had...I’m not sure I wouldn’t have gotten pissed off....
Feels like an interrogation not an interview lol
I love David Grohl..he shares his life so freely and makes us feel like he is our own personal friend...and he is.
No, he very much keeps it private. You aren't his friend stop being so weird about this parasocial relationship
Thank god Howard finally interrupted, I thought Dave would never shut up.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a control freak
@@inhumanesmoke4342 Howard is way too dominant and not relaxed in this interview. He doesn't breathe.
Howard calling Dave Grohl a "control freak", lol.
Rip Kurt and Taylor :( 🌹🥀🕯️
Dude i literally love dave Grohl. I've grown up listening to his music and he's always inspired me he's the reason i started to drum💖💫
Howard is like a hound with the questions but he gets the results
Prod. MAD.0NE Good radio doesn’t make itself
If that's true I didn't necessarily get that from this clip. It'd be nice if Howard gave him some time to give an honest, fleshed-out answer. I thought the questions were great, and as a long-time fan definitely some I've always wondered, but damn let him finish a thought before you move on.
@@joesilva1553 i feel like its part of his fishing strategy, hes keeping him off guard, not giving him time to think too much. i agree it would have been nice to hear it all though.
you can see how hard it is on him just to talk about this. what a harsh life these guys had. we sit there and think "ye but his famous and cool and rich", but you that sits there, not sure you had the pain these guys held together. being in a band trying to make it, being friends with a deep connection, actually making it, then everything crashes, your friend dies, and then build yourself again. never to really recover. as we can see from the way he speaks about this. and the fact that he really never took the drum set again. just to painful emotionally. it could be even a really sad thing. congrats to Dave on not doing drugs and coming out of it.
You're being a little over sympathetic. Dave got over it when the Foo's got big real quick and got behind the drums on his first record and then with Queens of the Stone Age. You sound like all these little girls that read too much into something that has been misconstrued for so long. Kurt and Dave were more like business partners than they were friends. Kurt didn't really trust Dave by 93 in my opinion. Kurt was going to fire Dave from what I heard.
East coast surfer who the fuck are YOU to say how Dave grohl feels like?! And who the fuck are YOU to question Dave and Kurt's friendship and the way he felt about him, wtf?? Are you serious dude..WOW!! Unbelievable
I would like to believe what @yohenson said but I think East Coast Surfer has right.
Dave Grohl is easily one of my favorite musicians simply based on his down to earth honest personality. Oh and he’s a beast!!!
Nice to see Dave open up about this. Love Nirvana. Love you too Dave!!!!
Dave wrote and did lead vocals on the song Marigold which was a b side to Heart-Shaped Box.
*Edit, just randomly rewatched this. I forgot to mention that in interviews the band said that Dave also came up with the drum beat and riff for Scentless Apprentice.
This is stuff we've wanted to hear about from Dave. Thanks for this. Dave your a solid man. Much respect.
*No doubt about it, Dave Grohl is an extremely talented musician.*
Factos
Wow I can’t believe this interview, considering the subjects & the way he interrupts. Props to Dave.
Things happened the way they happened and we should just be thankful we got some much amazing music from both these bands. Kurt and Dave will both go down has rock legends for all the ages to come
I'm so thankful for this channel on UA-cam. I missed out on these years of Howard and missed gem interviews like these. Peace and love peace and love ✌️
I watch this from time to time but i still can't stop smiling whenever i see Taylor waiting and listening to the story like a fan like most of us
The interviewer gives to my nerves. He talks more than Grohl and constantly interrupts him with a follow-up question before the previous question was even fully answered.
"the interviewer"
do some research little baby
Dave is such a HUMBLE, UBER-professional...., he will be iconic forever and was so proud to run in to him one day in the valley. He was as REAL as any GOOD SHIT you know!!
I remember seeing an interview where Dave was talking about being in Nirvana and someone (I think it was Hawkins) said “Wait, you were in Nirvana?” 😂
RIP Taylor Hawkins
I've met Dave Grohl. like others have said, he's a great guy, down to earth, puts his pants on one leg at a time. I'm very happy that in terms of his music career his dreams have come true.
How’re you gonna drop this on me in 2019. This is old, BUT THIS MAKES MY HEART HEAVY! 😭
0:00 Bombardment of questions begins
I like how quick Howard is to lead the interview foward, no scripts just the right questions at the right time.
This is why I love Dave Grohl and the FOO Fighters ! He is so honest and down to Earth !
RIP Taylor
This kills me watching this: Dave Grohl talking greatly about 2 amazing people and band members RIP Legends all 3
I love how solid he comes across. I find that really calming 🙃
Wow... I love Howard’s interviewing style. Goes right to the big questions.
Exactly a lot of interviewers act freindly and nice but secretly trying to ask the question.
Love him or hate him. Howard doesn’t fuck around when it comes to interviewing.
Thats why he became the biggest radio jockey ever. Some people hate him for it because it can come across as insensitive or inappropriate but he makes you talk about the interesting stuff that no other interviewer can get u to.
He'll hammer you about your dad who left you and the impact it had or an affair you had with another celebrity etc and will get you to say more about it than you have in the previous 20 years.
@ Andrew Audet Yes, you could say there is a distinct difference between Howard and people like Jimmy Fallon it's pretty obvious. If anyone out there can't figure out who would be the better interviewer between those two I just mentioned then they have severe mental problems!
@@psyberiusblackWell said. And I love the way Robin just sits there and smiles and giggles!!
4:15 😭😭 so sad with taylor
Finally an interview with all the questions we’ve wanted to ask. 👍
Howard needs to let his guest/s answer the question before cutting them off mid-way
Totally grilled him and asked all the questions I would want to ask too that would just pop into my head ‘...and what about this? And what about that? Pow pow pow’ 💥
the only guy to get away with that
He is just a fan, I see
Right in the Kisser
Howard stern is the greatest interviewer of all time
This is the best 5 min interview ever
I thought of this interview when I heard the news
Stern got no filter and doesn't use soft words to water down the things he says. I respect that
very intense been waiting for Dave's take on Cobains death and his material with the foos
thank you
Great interview...Nirvana touched everybody....they were rebels with a great cause...love Dave Grohl Foo Fighters.....😎
' looking at my drums reminded me of kurt ' I'm actually crying
RIP Kurt RIP Taylor may you jam together up there and share stories of all the good times you had with your buddy Dave down here!
Okay but Howard is such a good interviewer. I believe he asked the questions fast because that's how you get a natural response, you don't let the other person think of a fake or mild response but an honest, raw response. As an interviewer, he's smart and quick, I like him.
I think Dave is still hurting he just doesn’t show it
Nick You never get over something like that. You move on but you never forget.
Nah guys, it's been over 25 years and so much (good) has happened/changed since then. He has moved on, he can talk about it. It's like being shot and surviving or something. Everybody else thinks it's a super big deal because they never been there, but you live it, heal, move forward with life. Not forget, just carry on and indeed get over it, especially as time and other life events have come and gone.
Nick no duh
Captain Kirk how is he jealous
Howard is such a pain, Dave is awesome!
You gotta hand it to krist and dave though, 24 and 27-ish yrs old at that time, played in nirvana for 3yrs. Never had to work a job ever again.
If you think touring isn't as intensive as a job...
Rick D Nirvana formed in ‘87 and disbanded with Kurt’s death in ‘94, so Krist was in the band for 7 years. Dave joined around 1991, so for him it was closer to 3 years, but he did take on another “job” fronting the Foo Fighters, so not entirely true, but I get what you were saying: Nirvana kicked ass and those guys can coast through the rest of their lives because of it.
I bet, especially Krist, would give it all away just to have Kurt back. Dunno but Dave though 😂😂😂
Making and playing music is WORK and it's harder than most JOBS especially during the 90s when social media havent existed yet. It takes a LOT of time and effort to be really good at your instrument and just like athletes, musicians need to practice regularly to maintain a certain level.
I can’t believe Howard got him to answer those questions.
4:00
*taylor reaction is pure gold*
Great interview, I've never heard him talk abour this point in time, so specifically.
I love the way Howard run interviews so much. He asks exactly what people want to hear, and the way he does it brings out so much honesty from his guests...unbelievable.
Such an interesting & easily missed tell when Dave says he’s not even sure how he found out about the death, maybe the news or something. If you’ve lost someone close to you, you’ll never forget the shock of hearing & how
R.I.P. Taylor! 😢
God I love Howard stern ! I remember the first time I was introduced to him was in 2001 or 02 but it was when he was E and crazy stuff was happening ha talented man.
I love that Howard always directly asks the simple questions that every person is thinking, yet other interviewers would be too scared to ask.
RIP Taylor & Kurt. Dave is a legend
Can you imagine the moment Dave and Krist met after Kurt's death? Just thinking about it I start crying. :c
Hello Howard Stern Iam from australia i have huge respect for Howard Stern. This is heartbreaking iam a singer songwriter myself but I wanna be a solo artist. My dream is to live in. New York city i love Howard I saw him on Jerry Seinfeld comedians in cars getting coffee and he opened up about his father and it broke my heart cause I went through domestic violence from my own father
With those questions, I want to know too. But I think it's always second to the end of the world for Howard. Give a damn time for the man to answer!
hilarious line: "the last thing the drummer said before he was kicked out of the band is hey i have a song". So true...
wow you really can't take away how Stern is really "the" interviewer. amazing questions that really only Stern has the balls to ask and the guests feel comfortable with him to answer. That's a talent.
I have come to realize that I have a finite amount of minutes on this earth while I'm still young enough to appreciate things like walking and breathing. I think I don't wanna waste any more of those minutes listening to Dave Grohl talk about his days in Nirvana over 25 years ago.
Fuckin Dave Grohl seems to me one of the chillest famous dudes there is. I would love to sit down and have a beer with him and discuss mutual interests.
Great questions because I always wondered about these things myself
