Mark Hoppus: You've given me the best advice I've ever gotten in the history of my career. Foo Fighters and blink-182 were touring Australia on the Big Day Out, and Tom and I had both started dating our girlfriends at the time, and we were talking to you about Sage and we were complaining how we missed our girlfriends. And you said, "well, why don't you just fly them out to be with you?" And we were like, "well, sorry, man, we're not rich and famous like you, we don't have Nirvana money." And you're like, "honestly guys, I really hope one of these days you're as rich and as famous as I am, because it's fucking awesome." And I've taken that to heart.
Dave Grohl: It's true. It really is fucking awesome.
Interviewer: Foos drummer Taylor Hawkins has said that if John Bonham and Paul McCartney had a love child, it would be you. Does he have any idea at all about how babies are actually made?
Dave: Well, he is a drummer after all.

I: What's the most out-of-control gig you've ever been to?
Dave: Nirvana's show in Dallas at a club called Trees in 1991 was the closest thing to a punk rock riot I've ever seen. It was way over capacity, Kurt got punched in the face, he smashed the monitor board to bits and then hit a bouncer in the head with his guitar. There was blood everywhere. We were told that the people who worked there were going to kill us so we got in a cab but it was mobbed and they smashed a window. I jumped back in the club, got a ride with some chick and we got into a car accident. This was all in the course of two-and-a-half hours!

Dave Grohl sexual adventures
When and where did you lose your virginity?
"I was 14 years old and she was 16. She was a girl at my school who I didn't know, a basketball player. She was fucking pretty, but she was tall - five-foot ten at least. We went to this keg party at her house and she trapped me in the bathroom and just started making out with me. Then she took me downstairs and showed me the ropes.
How would you rate your performance?
"I did pretty good, man. When you're 14 or 15 years old it's hardly a tantric thing; you just do it, get out and go tell your friends. I remember going to school on the Monday and she'd moved. It turned out the party was her going away present."
How did you feel about that?
"I felt great about that! I couldn't imagine seeing her in school on the Monday."
Has rock'n'roll helped you get laid?
"When I first started touring with Scream I was 18 and there weren't any girls at any of the shows - ever. In the four years I toured with Scream I got laid maybe six times. When Nirvana became popular we did so being as anti-establishment as we could possibly be, and so we never attracted that vibe. It wasn't until about 1997 that things started to happen on this front. There was a short period where I was single and we had this Australian tour. And it was on this tour that Taylor showed me how to be that guy."
And how long were you that guy?
"Well, it was a two-and-a-half week tour and there was something happening pretty much every night."
So shall we call it 18 women?
"There you go! As time goes on, you just realise that it's always available. But for me personally, I've never been drawn to the quick blow-job in the bathroom stall."
Now you're married again, how do you deflect female attention?
"You can always say no. It's as easy as saying goodbye, going home, fucking rubbing one off and then going to sleep."
“That was the first time in my life that I ever considered quitting playing music...”

Dave Grohl on drugs
Interviewer: Have you ever taken heroin?
Dave Grohl: I haven’t so much as smoked a joint since I was 20, and I’m 34 now. I used to love taking acid. I’m one of the few people I know who has never done coke, speed or heroin. My drug career was over by the time I was 20. It was basically weed and acid. That was fun for a while, but I stopped because it gave me panic attacks. I couldn’t smoke a joint and chill out and watch TV; I’d wind up breaking out in hives and calling 911.
