So, I’ve written a book.

Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities (“It’s a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!”) I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I’ve recorded and can’t wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.

This certainly doesn’t mean that I’m quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it’s like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughtersthe list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

The Remastered EditionBecause Theres Always More to the Story

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

Daves is an extraordinary life made of up ordinary moments, and he tells stories just like he writes songsfrom 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 deluxe paperback edition offers a wide variety of extra content, including:

* An essay on how Dave approaches creativity (Heres a hint: you dont 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 (previously an audiobook exclusive)
* A collection of Daves curated playlists, giving a glimpse into some of the music he loves
* The Song Stories of four Foo Fighters favorites

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