The Remastered Edition…Because There’s Always More to the Story

Dave Grohl’s The Storyteller created a sensation when it was initially published, becoming a global bestseller and thrilling fans and critics alike. Readers came to the book for Dave’s heartfelt voice, his love of family and music, and the energy that pours from every page.

Dave’s is an extraordinary life made of up ordinary moments, and he tells stories just like he writes songs—from his soul. Whether recounting his time as kid in Toughskins in the Virginia suburbs, as a skinny teenager drumming his heart out for punk band Scream, living through the explosion and implosion of Nirvana, or hustling all the way around the world to escort his daughters to the Father/Daughter dance (only to be ignored as soon as his girls found their friends) The Storyteller is just like its author, as real as it gets.

To show his appreciation for his fans, and to celebrate his love of writing, this edition offers a wide variety of extra content, including:

• An essay on how Dave approaches creativity (Here’s a hint: you don’t have to think outside of the box. Just ignore it.)
• A series of prompts to jump start your creativity
• The story of when Dave first met Paul McCartney
• A collection of Dave’s curated playlists, giving a glimpse into some of the music he loves

The Storyteller has challenged what a music memoir can be. With this edition, the legacy continues.

Legendary

Every word of his book is absolutely amazing!! He has some incredible stories to tell.

Wowsa!!!

I could not name a single Foo Fighters song. Shameful, I know. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Dave Grohl is a masterful storyteller and just an all around solid human being. Great, great story.

Was good.

Just generally solidly good. Nothing amazing over the top, but Dave Grohl seems incredibly genuine. It’s not exactly in chronological order, so it jumps around sometimes randomly a bit

Incredible plus read by Dave himself

Cried my way through both happy and sad tears 10/10 wish it never ended

I don’t like autobiographies, but…

I never expected to like this book so much but I had to listen because I love Dave Grohl. His wit and humor had me laughing out loud while jogging and listening. 🖤

The most influential rocker/drummer/person

Dave's authenticity

Amazing

Kudos, my hero! This was an amazing journey to go on with you reliving your past and enjoying your precious moments with your family.

An excellent look into the many stories of Dave Grohl

This is a great conglomeration of just how many things had to go wrong and yet still go right to create the amazing life of which few could imagine. And it's even better as it's read by the man himself, Dave Grohl.
