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 deluxe paperback 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 creativityThe story of when Dave first met Paul McCartney (previously an audiobook exclusive)A collection of Dave's 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.

Editorial Reviews

"Candid, humble and full of stories about big-time stars...music lovers will want to put this one in heavy rotation." -- CNN

"The message that burns through The Storyteller is to those who watch him onstage now: Deep down, I'm just like you. I've worked hard to get where I am, but I obsessed over the same music you do. I'm a fan." -- Billboard

"Grohl, of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame, demonstrates the good-naturedness he's known for in this heartfelt standout that explores everything from the loss of Kurt Cobain to the road to fatherhood." -- Audible (Best of the Year list)

"Both a timestamp of the past and a living example of what can be accomplished through creation. Lovers of chronicled melodic adventures and those seeking artistic inspiration will want to check it out." -- Parade

"... the world benefits just as much from hearing his inspiring stories told as only one of rock's great stadium rockers turned storyteller can tell them." -- Forbes

"He may be a slight musical genius, but Grohl's journey from modest, punk-obsessed troublemaker, to drumming in the most popular band of the decade, to launching an enduring solo career that puts his rock and roll ethos at its center, is a truly inspiring tale." -- Consequence of Sound

"The title The Storyteller fits perfectly. The book is filled with plainspoken, conversational prose that ably pulls readers into each tale, no matter how linear or digressive. The pages fly by, the memoir having the feel of a series of chats over drinks with a friend who just happens to have worked with nearly every notable mainstream and indie-rock musician of the last few decades." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Grohl candidly shares his reverence for the enduring power of music. . . Reflecting on his fame, Grohl writes, ' have never taken a single moment of it for granted.' Paired with his sparkling wit, this humility is what makes Grohl's soulful story a cut above typical rock memoirs. There isn't a dull moment here." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Grohl bares his soul and shares his passion in this must-read memoir, which will resonate with music lovers and his fans." -- Library Journal (starred review)

Kinetic... Grohl writes with equal fervor about his path from "that guy from Nirvana" to the leader of the uberfamous Foo Fighters and his parenting experiences. An exciting read for fans and a remarkable perspective on the last 30 years of rock music." -- Booklist
