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.

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.

Incredible plus read by Dave himself

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

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

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. 🖤

Loved it!

Huge fan of Dave and the FF and loved that the voice was his!!! Def recommend!

A story worth sharing

Dave takes you on a journey. His journey. And it’s an incredible one. Enjoyed this one immensely!

Laughed, cried and enjoyed the heck out of this

Hearing this is Dave’s voice makes the book. He is funny, self-deprecating and sincere. You can hear the love he has for his friends, family and colleagues. He is a great storyteller. I highly recommend!!!

Revised and amazing, Dave Grohl is the perfect storyteller.

Nothing compares to this autobiography by all around nice guy Dave Grohl and the fact that he revised it makes it all the more better. I must have listened to this like 4 times already because I simply can't get enough.

I love his love for his family and people all over the world.

I didn't dislike anything. Dave could read me more about his life everyday. keep writing!

The early years of Dave’s drumming, touring in a van, the mad junkies chasing him with pipes, & the Nirvana years.

I was impressed with Grohl’s storytelling and narration. However, I wanted to hear more about his Nirvana days & his journey with Taylor Hawkins. I loved his stories about his Mom, his wife & kids. You could hear the love & devotion he has for his family. Ultimately, I loved his expressions of joy for music, his passion for his craft as a musician & songwriter; being a fan of others, & a radically cool human being toward all of the fans of his music, bands & friends!
