“Book Descriptions: "You don't become the biggest rock star in the world by being a nice guy". There's a reason why Dave Grohl is know, however naively, as "the nicest man in rock". A reason why millions have bought his Foo Fighters CDs and DVDs, his concert and festival tickets; why generations have bought into his story, his dream, his self-fulfilling prophecies. Dave's a giver. He may not have the savant glamour of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, but Kurt was a taker. Kurt dwelled in darkness, on the wrong side of the moon. Dave is a sun worshipper, a lover not a loner, a bringer of light.
Learning to Fly is his story, and therefore the true story of the Foo Fighters - like it's never been told before. From Grohl's days as the new kid in Nirvana, to becoming the Grunge Ringo of the Foo Fighters, on to where he is now: the biggest, most popular male rock star in the world.
None of this happened by accident. Internationally acclaimed rock writer Mick Wall tells us how and why in a style that pulses with rock's own rhythms, talking to friends, former band mates, producers, record company executives and those closest to Grohl and the Foos.
As John Lennon - Grohl's hero - once said of the Beatles, "You don't become the biggest band in the world by being a nice guy". And, despite what the mainstream media likes us to think, neither did the Foo Fighters. This explosive biography - the first, full, no-holds-barred literary account - explains why.” DRIVE
