Dave Grohl Chimes In

"When I think about kids watching a TV show like American Idol or The Voice, then they think, 'Oh, OK, that's how you become a musician, you stand in line for eight f------ hours with 800 people at a convention center and then you sing your heart out for someone and then they tell you it's not f-----' good enough. Can you imagine? It's destroying the next generation of musicians! Musicians should go to a yard sale and buy an old f------ drum set and get in their garage and just suck. And get their friends to come in and they'll suck, too. And then they'll f------ start playing and they'll have the best time they've ever had in their lives and then all of a sudden they'll become Nirvana. Because that's exactly what happened with Nirvana. Just a bunch of guys that had some s----- old instruments and they got together and started playing some noisy-ass s---, and they became the biggest band in the world. That can happen again! You don't need a f------ computer or the internet or The Voice or American Idol - Dave Grohl
