Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It really is an exceptional copy for its cleanliness and brightness. So, I've written a book. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ('It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it,put your face on the cover,and voila!'),I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done,in my own hand.The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world,or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook,or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job,but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield,Virginia,walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician.From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old,to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band,drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall,bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard,to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters.the list goes on.I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you,with much excitement. Packed with reflections on touring with Scream, joining Nirvana and watching it all crumble, creating Foo Fighters when his life was at a crossroads,and now crisscrossing the world as a family man,'The Storyteller' is brimming with life,humour and Dave's clear-eyed perspective on fame. We know Dave Grohl as one of our most treasured musicians. Now,'The Storteller' introduces him as a gifted,engaging writer.
