“He's got dyslexia or something.”
David Eric "Home of the Whopper" Grohl (pronounced 'lĕh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd; born January 14, 1969) is an American pastry chef, carpet, kitchen utensil, and God, often shunned by fans of Cobain's Crap Machine for pursuing a career in music after Seattle grunge boy Kurt Cobain decided to bite the bullet and retire. He is most famous for being the drummer in every band (including Metallica, which is why Napster hates Grohl as well). Currently, Grohl has his own brand of cereal and is the lead vocalist and guitarist for The Adams Family. He also plays the trombone and triangle for Weezer. Grohl also holds a Guinness World Record for Most Bananas Balanced on Chin (469).
Grohl has been influenced by every single musician in the history of recorded sound, and has stayed awake for over 100 hours at a time so he can play and grin next to all of them. According to the Wall Street Journal, the very mention of a musician's name by Grohl increases sales by over a thousand percent, and can also extend their lives by several years.
Grohl is also the second coming of Jesus, speaks fluent Chinese, and can recite any Bruce Lee movie. Dave can fly as well, has been known to lift cars with his face, and has written the theme songs to every single American TV show from the 1970s, including Sanford and Son and Eat It by Weird Al Yankovic.
Road to Greatness[edit]
In the beginning there was nothing, and then God created King Dave Grohl and The King Dave Grohl Bible.
After birthing The Mentors as his rehearsal band in Seattle, Grohl was the drummer for Cobain's super Crap Machine. He also played with Rage Against My Butthole Smurfs for a short time, before he later realized that they where all werewolves.
In the early 1990s, Grohl decided he needed to save his career and went on to form the Black Viking Tea Kettles. The "Kettles" quickly became the most popular band in the Milky Way, winning Grohl and bandmates billions of dollars in album and t-shirt sales. Together, they traveled the Multiverse, and fought the Intersteller Reptoid Federation, They then roundhouse-kicked everything with a pulse they came in contact with. With his newfound fame and riches,and plasma hookers Dave Grohl went on to purchase 57% of The Sith Empire, the biggest company in the world. According to a close friend of the band, Grohl was later fired for punching Darth Vader to death.
In 2002, Grohl toured with Queens of the Stone Age. Front man Josh "loves drugs" Homme immediately changed the name of the band to Daves of the Grohl Age.
Grohl retired from boxing and his short stint as an Rat poison infomercial presenter before his days as a drummer. His body-building left him with amazing abillities like flight, super hearing and "freeze Vision", and the ability to wake krakens from the ocean." Dave holds the record for most knock outs in a single punch.
Dave Grohl is singlehandedly responsible for the creation of the Rock and Grohl noise genre. He has influenced musicians such as the Weezinger, Miles Cyrius, and Lady Giggamadonna.
In late 2009, Grohl assaulted a nine-foot-tall John Bonham cardboard cutout.
In 2014, Grohl was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Shame, as a member of over 200 bands. During his 85 minute acceptance speech, he thanked everyone he had ever met, publicly hugged several people he had never heard of, and said "F**k" a total of 1,475 times.
A big screen bio of The Bee Gees, in which Grohl plays every part, is to be released in 2015. An Oscar for "Most Wonderful Human" has already been made.
The Impact of Grohl[edit]
Dave Grohl is everywhere: in your neighborhood, in your house, maybe even in your room. Ever felt that weird tingling sensation in your spine? That's Dave.... He has at least 17 roles in every music video. Roles that were once considered physically impossible for humans to play are child's play to Grohl (for example, Dave has been known to play skyscrapers, aeroplanes, grass, Bruce Lee, 19 of the midgets in The Wizard of Oz, Simon Cowell's eyelashes, and the sun). He even cuts off his fingers to turn into breakfast cereal (Grohlios).
Grohl came to more mainstream fame in 2003 when he entered the Guinness Book of World Records for Largest Nostrils, with both growing beyond 10 centimeters in diameter when stretched. This caused scientists to conclude Grohl of being the missing link between humans and gorillas, to which Grohl responded by stretching his nostrils even more. In 2008, Grohl was ranked #3 on the list of Animal Planet's 100 Greatest Animals.
Grohl has been scientifically proven to be 90% teeth, and few people have actually seen the rest of his face as a result. This is evident in many of his promotional videos, which show his teeth in a 1:1 ratio - and they still don't fit on the screen. His fine tusks have required him to employ round the clock security guards in an attempt to ward off ivory poachers.
The drumming exploits of Grohl have gone on to influence such drummers as Ringo Starr, John Bonham's son, and any drummer The Who hires, among legions of others. He has publicly lent his drumming support to numerous bands including Nirvana, Knaves of the Bronze Age, Iron Maid, Bonjo Vi, BB King, The Beatles, Stereoneck, U2, Metallica and obviously Cream while insisting fervently that previous drummers were "The best in the fucking world!" (said while eating Burger King burgers).
Bob Mould owes his entire life to Grohl. The former guitarist and singer with Dusker Hu was living in a cave in the Nevada desert, after losing his money and hair in a game of Strip Poker. Not only did Grohl rescue him after fighting off several tigers blocking the cave's entrance, but performed surgery on his injuries, got him a record deal and co-wrote a dozen songs within a few hours. Mould said "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Mr. Grohl. Even though my career was over a decade old when he first became famous, it was really all down to him. I owe everything to my master". Mould has promised to leave his beard to Grohl in his will.
He has been on the American TV comedy variety show Saturday Night Live more times than all others guests and hosts put together, and was seen most recently (2010) drumming with Garg Orthaks Official Rush Cover Band.
Grohl's Style of Playing[edit]
Grohl is known for beating the living fuck out of his drums, which impressed Kurt Cobain. Cobain has stated that "when Dave plays drums, I get a raging stiffy." Evidence of Grohl's man-crush of Cobain can be found in post-Grunge biographies. Through those eight months of living together in a small apartment, and being with Nirvana, Grohl developed feelings for him, but the drumming, and the drumming duties, totally gets in the way of any man-crush feelings getting requited.
Grohlism[edit]
Grohlism is the religion that believes in Dave Grohl as the almighty creator of everything. According to the "Grohly Book" or "The Grohlible" in the beginning there was just Dave. Dave was so bored that he wanted to hit something, then out of nothing he created a drum kit. During five thousand years he played drums with his hands until his finger nails were long enough to cut them and use them as drum sticks. He spent one quarter of eternity drumming because he had a whole lot of nothing else to do, but as he was alone, nobody could say anything about his drumming, so he started hitting his drums until the universe came out his ass, scientists call this event "The Big Bang".
Eventually it was discovered that Dave Grohl created the universe because he needed your momma to complain about him drumming the whole day. Your momma called the police but I mean, c'mon, who's gonna arrest THE DAVE GROHL?
DUI Scandal[edit]
During Dave's 2000 tour with Foo Fighters in Australia, Dave and roadie, Kevin Jonas drank dozens of Four Loko beverages after their famous show at the Taj Mahal. The high alcohol content had no effect on Grohl, who's metabolism is 9000x faster than the average man. Dave, frustrated at his inability to intoxicate himself, bought a local Toys R Us store and then purchased a Razor kick scooter from himself. Dave then proceeded to drink more Four Lokos (Renamed "Grohl Loco" shortly after) and rode his scooter up the side of Sea World. He was promptly arrested by The Deam Police for operating a kick scooter while intoxicated, but the charges were dropped soon after due to Nirvine Intervention.
The Phases of Dave Grohl[edit]
Phase 1: He has long and thin hair; it's sometimes referred as its 0% complete state. He was "born" like this (technically he wasn't born, he just popped out of nowhere...one day). While he was in Nirvana, he was in this state, and he still kicked ass but people didn't know it yet. He used to spend his time playing Super-Nintendo, harassing Axl Rose and smelling like Teen Spirit (from Kurt's girlfriend). His only powers back then were drumming like a son-of-a-bitch and kicking ass.
Phase 2: He entered this state when he found a Dragon Ball hidden inside Kurt Cobain's closet; it's sometimes refered as its 25% complete state. His hair started to grow and people started to notice he kicked ass. He cut his hair because it was way too long and everyone knows that "long hair - kickass beard = hippie" and Dave Grohl is no hippie. Dave then forged a whip made from his hair trimmings that was later used to send Michael Jackson to hell. While in this state he learned to fly 747s and formed his own gang of anti-terrorists called Foo Fighters.
Phase 2.5: He entered this state when the hit show Grohl wrote, produced, and starred in, Friends, was released. He starred as Joey. This is referred to as his 26.5% state.
Phase 3: He entered this state when he found the mythical island of Atlantis. His hair became a bit longer and his beard started to grow a bit; still, it wasn't complete. It is referred as his 33% state. This states fame comes from him looking a lot alike the notorious motherfucker, Matthew Heerschap.
Phase 4: He entered this state when he discovered the best of you in a song he wrote (nobody knows who really "you" is, he was drunk when he said that). His kick-ass beard started to become kickass but was not yet complete. It's referred as his 50% complete state. His newfound powers were controlling time and space, and breaking glasses with his screams, he rescued some miners that were trapped somewhere, too.
Phase 5: He entered this state when he met Dagwood and he gave him advice on keeping a fully kick-ass beard. It's referred as his 75% complete state. His hair automatically grew when he entered this state because he kicked ass. While in this state, he found some jackass that pretended to be him, and killed the imposter because of his defiance. He found the long road to ruin, but preferred to take the short one instead. While in this state he found a new whole lot of kicking ass superpowers like destroying things and stuff.
Phase 6: Then without warning Dave Grohl released "Wasting Light". Then a comet soared, a solor eclipse occured, and Dave "The Iron Man SwordSong" Grohl was reborn in fire, like the ancient "Phenix Of Rock-N Roll". And he was in his 95% State, like a super powered rock demon who playes 3 guitars at once and has like ice vision, and the golden gun.
Phase 7: AKA, the Human Element. No one really knows what happened, but Dave has become a spokesperson for /real/ music. Also, Sound City (rockumentary about Sound City Studios in Cali, complete with a "Nirvana Reunion" and a fab album) is a thing, and now Sonic Highways (NO ONE KNOWS) is a thing. Wild. This meant that Grohl reached the 97.5% of his Grohlification. The approx. date of full Grohlification is June 21st 2198.
