This is Why Dave Grohl Is the Coolest Guy in Rock

So the Foos are rocking out in Montreal when Dave spies a crisis.  The beer glass of one of the dudes down front has run dangerously low.  

The only proper (and gentlemanly) thing to do was to top him up from the Foos' stash of Coors Light. (Via Gawker)

Dave Grohl may have been the third or 4th best drummer in Nirvana (after Dale Crover, Chad, and Kurt himself), makes watered down corporate alt rock while pretending to be some idealist savior...and now the fact he drinks COORS LIGHT just might confirm him to be the UNCOOLEST guy in rock.

I agree with Kieth. I haven't listened to anything by the FF since "Marigold"

Just not arty enough for my ears....

[iamsuperdan]

Is that a dancer or a backup singer on stage there? Either way...really?! Since when have the Foo Fighters needed either?

I'm disappointed now.

And that pic makes Dave look fat. Is he getting all Marilyn Manson when it comes to size?

[J.Rai]

Holy crap. Dave is a VERY skilled showman, musician and a certifiably good guy. Lighten the Hell up.

wow, so this is what it's like to have hipsters invade a comments section.

1. I think the girl is a fiddler, or something, note the bow in her hand and kilt.
2. J.Rai and ramenwithegg +1, +1.

I've been the biggest FOOS Fan since DAY 1, seriously; before 99% of you even knew that "Nirvana's Drummer has a new band" ... And I'm so sick of hearing people slag Dave. I've met him, interviewed him, and the dude's very cool. One word for all you "Nay-Sayers" out there: JEALOUSY. Your life must really suck when all of you constantly put down people who have reached a degree of success and happiness in life that you will probably never achieve simply because of your negativity. Foo Fighters Rock...

[Tony D]

No, I'm the biggest Foo fan going. I've known Dave since he was a gleam in his Daddy's eye. Heck, he was kick ass on the kick drum even then.

Seriously though, I enjoy their stuff, pay for their music and catch them live the rare time they visit my town...but Coors Light is mildly disappointing.

The biggest critics are usually the ones that can't play a single note on any instrument.
It sucks that success makes people not feel Indy enough and these comments prove it.

[Sven]

It must be nice to come to a post and think:

"What cunty thing can I say today that'll make me feel better than everyone else? Oh, what a lark, I shall comment on how uncool a famous musician is now that he's famous and not my special little unknown band. The nerve of that musician for embracing his fame and making me not special anymore."

Really guys, grow the fuck up. Oh he's not swigging Cats Arse Lager out of a Steampunk goblet, shit he must be a fucking knuckledragger and his music is so mainstream, better go smash all his CD's and anally fist them up my ass until I can feel alive again.

[Scott]

Trolls suck period.

[Kronk]

He probably just drinks Coors Light on stage so he doesn't get too drunk to play...

[Keith]

Dale maybe but chad, really? Kurt and kris both thought he sucked. Don't get me wrong, I love me some nirvana but cobain sucked on the drums almost as bad as he sucked on the guitar. And corporate rock? In utero was one of the biggest corporate rock albums of the nineties.

[Sean]

I loved Grohl's first couple FF efforts but it has been a long steady decline, each album since Nothing Left to Lose getting progressively worse.

So sad he didn't stay on with QOTSA, or his metal side project for that matter. The man just flat out rocks when he is behind the drum kit and is by all reports a genuinely nice guy.

In Utero was a corporate rock album? Wow, that is news to me. Sounds more like a mixed tape created on hard drugs.
