For reasons of his own, Grohl never delves too deeply into the Cobain saga.

Call it the typical tale of a high school dropout who becomes the drummer in Nirvana, then after unspeakable tragedy transformed himself into the singer, songwriter and guitarist for a band that sells out arenas.

The tension between his two groups—ironic vs. sincere, outsider vs. insider, rebellious vs. wholesome—is the precise yet unacknowledged tension of Grohl’s The Storyteller.

... kinetic.

If you are curious about Dave Grohl, drummer from 'tragic grunge poster boys' Nirvana, whose Nevermind album has just turned 30, The Storyteller might not be the memoir for you.

Sixteen-time Grammy-winner Grohl cranks the story of his life to full volume in this exciting debut chronicling his rock ’n’ roll career.

Grohl’s memoir is thick with name-drops, but not for the sake of gossip or even revelatory detail.
