"DAVE LOVES STINKY CHEESE"
--Foo Fighters

Dave Grohl hasn't touched a joint since he was 20 years old, but present him with some gooey Gouda or moldy Gorgonzola, and he'll get the perfect pre-concert buzz going every time.

If Grohl likes "stinky cheese", why doesn't he arrange a tour with Amy Winehouse?

A few years ago, Grohl told an interviewer that Taylor "forced" him to smoke a joint at the back of the tour bus and listen to Minor Threat at full volume. That pretty much says it all about our Dave. "Haven't touched a joint in 20 years" my ass!

hey all you morons who say that dave grohl's music is too loud he has came out with two CD's recently all acoustic and he went on tour with bob dylan one of the greatest musicians of our time who by the way would not tour with some cheesy musician with crappy music. Another point i would love to make is you know that little band called LED ZEPPELIN the greatest band of all time yeah the bassist john paul jones has performed and worked with them on songs. On top of all this dave grohl has been in one of the most influential bands of the 90's and started his own band in 1995 that has been together and performing all while churning hits for the past 18 years. So after reading this and look at your life you have bought a computer...great work you jealous bastards. oh and did i mention he has came out with 6 records with the foo fighters and 18 other albums with other bands he is one of the best musicians of our time it is time he recieves the credit he deserves and if that is in the form of cheese well shit but to have you ignorant morons insult dave grohl for the music he makes just because you may not like it well guess what you one dumb ass person and he has sold over a million records with nevermind alone so maybe you dont like the music you are intitled to your opinon no matter how stupid it is but to say he sucks or he is cheesy is well the stupidest thing i have ever read why dont you dumb asses do us all a favor and find a very tall building and jump off

I agree with you Kurdt. Dave is the best thing to happen to rock in 15 years. He's one of the best performers I have ever seen. So all of you crackheads dissing Dave...go fuck yourselves. And oh yeah, Nice Grammy, Dave. Your pal, Krist
