Then makes his glorious return to finish the concert.

This is now the Dave Grohl appreciation thread.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

That's boss right there.

 

[diffusionx]

I love Dave Grohl.

I'm indifferent to the Foo Fighters.

 

[WedgeX]

Breaking a got dang leg and coming back is dedication.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

That's really great.

 

[SkyOdin]

Impressive.

How did he break his leg though?

 

[StMeph]

I love Dave Grohl.

I'm indifferent to the Foo Fighters.

This is a close approximation to what I feel.

 

[daveo42]

Expected something like this. Dave Grohl is good people.

There goes my hero

Watch him as he sits.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

There goes my hero

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I don't know how some people hate on this guy. Even if you don't like his bands his dedication and passion for music and positive attitude make him endlessly likable.

 

[Raistlin]

Impressive.

How did he break his leg though?

Fell off stage apparently ... or jumped and failed

[ThatGuyAgain]

My man

 

[Aegus]

Says he broke it 1.5 songs into the concert and only came back to finish one song.

As awesome as he is for even coming back I'd still be asking for a refund!

 

[sappyday]

Who hates him? Surely no one on GAF right.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Wtf?! How did he break it?

<3 him. My favorite artist in the world. Seen the Foos live many times. Epic shows.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Like a boss

 

[demosthenes]

Wow. Dedication.

 

[Wreav]

Says he broke it 1.5 songs into the concert and only came back to finish one song.

Hmm, well then the article i found is a goddamn liar. Sorry bout that. Still boss.

 

[Kaladin]

This is the kind of thing that makes legends.

Dave Grohl is a legend in our time.

 

[Polari]

Dave Grohl seems like a pretty good dude, but Foo Fighters make some pretty bland music.

 

[SkyOdin]

Fell of stage apparently

http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/...-off-stage-in-sweden-finishes-concert-anyway/

Ouch. Well I hope he heals up quick. I admire the dedication to his work/fans.

 

[J10]

Loved Dave ever since he told Metallica to go fuck themselves.

 

[gdt]

That's boss.

Unrelated, but there's a great story that popped up a few weeks ago about Ian McKaye of Minor Threat/Fugazi finding a note Dave wrote to him as a kid. Thats amazing too.

 

[Abounder]

What if I say that I'll never surrender

 

[minor effort]

Dave, just give it the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best of you.

 

[Screaming Meat]

What a legend.

I don't know how some people hate on this guy. Even if you don't like his bands his dedication and passion for music and positive attitude make him endlessly likable.

Yup. I'm not a fan of the FF past Colour & The Shape, but Grohl will always be a dude. A massively talented dude.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Reminds me of the time when Layne performed in a wheelchair.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Says he broke it 1.5 songs into the concert and only came back to finish one song.

As awesome as he is for even coming back I'd still be asking for a refund!

I don't think so. Outlets and Twitter say he finished the whole concert. Normally festival shows are only 45 minutes long anyway.

[Huevos de Oro]

Lol awesome. How did that happen?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Before I label it badass, how did he break it in the first place? Was it doing something stupid? PEACE.

 

[entremet]

Damn, dude doesn't age.

 

[J10]

Lol awesome. How did that happen?

Back when Napster was a thing they were complaining about being stolen from. Dave basically said you're millionaires and you should shut the fuck up.

 

[Stevetopsy]

I think the Foo Fighters have been spinning their wheels creatively for a while now but you can't deny Grohl's dedication and passion for his craft. Plus, he always seems like a genuinely nice and honest dude. He's a pretty great role model for kids who want to be rock stars.

 

[demon]

I love Dave Grohl.

I'm indifferent to the Foo Fighters.

Pretty much how I feel. I've honestly tried to like Foo Fighters because of how cool Dave Grohl is but their music just isn't as good as their millions of fans think it is. Sorry, millions of fans. :-/

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

that's what you call awesome.

 

[Aegus]

I don't think so. Outlets and Twitter say he finished the whole concert. Normally festival shows are only 45 minutes long anyway.

Weird. The TMZ article I originally read it on has been changed to say the same.

 

[Agent Gibbs]

There goes my hero

bow down to this man!

Skin and Bones

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

I don't know how some people hate on this guy. Even if you don't like his bands his dedication and passion for music and positive attitude make him endlessly likable.

I don't hate him, but I don't agree with his stance that electronically/computer produced music is lesser than music produced with real instruments (I.e. computer music isn't real music).

I do like some of his songs and respect him for all he has accomplished, though his comments may have offended some pro-electronica extremists.

OT: that's gutsy.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Before I label it badass, how did he break it in the first place? Was it doing something stupid? PEACE.

He jumped off the stage, which he normally does to run down the center of the crowd divider. He doesn't even really jump, more of a careful slide down.

It's a freak accident.

[Log4Girlz]

Osteoporosis?


Oh god I'm so sorry please forgive me

 

[Wreav]

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?

Meh. Is it really a surprise to find elitism towards one's own style in the world of music? I wouldn't take so much offense with it since I'm sure elitism is widespread across all genres.

I think that what he said was he doesn't consider EDM artists "musicians". Because they're not playing any instruments. Manipulating files and playing an instrument are two completely different things.

And I agree with him.

And I'm a HUGE fan of EDM music. They're great artists. But they're not musicians.

 

[TimorousPanda]

What a badass.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Osteoporosis?


Oh god I'm so sorry please forgive me

That was actually my first thought. Nothing to ask forgiveness for.

 

[Nafai1123]

Maybe he'll learn to fly instead.

 

[ATF487]

I love Dave Grohl.

I'm indifferent to the Foo Fighters.

This, my favorite album that he plays on is probably songs for the deaf...

Hope he has a speedy recovery

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Love the guy.

Apparently they're coming to Shoreline in September. I wonder if I should buy tickets.

 

[Nokterian]

What a boss!
