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.

I have read a lot of Rock Star biographies & this has been one of the best by far. The love he has for his mom & his music is quite inspiring. Dave Grohl is definitely a Storyteller.

Amazing

I loved learned about the earlier details in his musical career. He says « later » at the end of the book. I’m hoping it means he may write another book. I know I will be listening to to this one again.

Incredible! I thought I couldn’t love him more. I was wrong.

A fascinating look I to the life of a musician. Dave doesn't sugar coat his story. His voice is very easy to listen to.

Interesting!

I loved the way Dave would bouce back and forth through time while telling his story. This made the experience seem more organic, like how it is with friends and family telling stories. Talking about one thing inspiring another thought. At the same time knowing that each story must have been carefully and thoughtfully chosen to be shared. I really enjoyed hearing how much he values family in particular being a father. The stories of his fame told from his perspective when I too have my own personal perspective to reflect on was simply wonderful. Hoping for a book 2 or more as time goes on. Thanks Dave.
