This Is a Call, the first in-depth, definitive biography of Dave Grohl, tells the epic story of a singular career that includes Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and Them Crooked Vultures. Based on ten years of original, exclusive interviews with the man himself and conversations with a legion of musical associates like Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, DC punk legend Ian MacKaye, and Nevermind producer Butch Vig, this is Grohl's story. He speaks candidly and honestly about Kurt Cobain, the arguments that almost tore Nirvana apart, the feuds that threatened to derail the Foo Fighters' global success, and the dark days that almost caused him to quit music for good.
125 pages in and I've hardly read anything about Dave Grohl. I've had a history lesson on punk rock, though and am about to learn more about Kurt Cobain. :/
"There was some Nirvana book that glorified my parents' divorce as if it were my inspiration to play music. Completely untrue. The f**king Beatles were the inspiration for me to play music."
Good read! First three chapters are solely on the birth and growth of punk! Who cares! A lot of references to Back and Forth doc. Not too much in here I already knew about! Worth reading though!
