Dave Grohl on his gayest moment
|
Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl opens up to ELLE about make-out sessions, going deaf, and the problem with stalkers
On the type of women who go for musicians: “To women, drummers seem like these adorable, sexy Neanderthals, and lead singers seem mysterious and dangerous. So while the lead singers all want to be David Bowie, floating into parties and being the center of attention, it’s the drummers who are in the corner doing keg stands and breaking tables. Usually it’s the drummers who get the fun-loving ladies and the singers who get the nutcases.��
On his gayest moment: “Probably hanging out with RuPaul backstage at Saturday Night Live when Nirvana played in 1993. He just made me want to cuddle.�
On an unlikely crush: “Oh, dude. I had the hugest crush on Sissy Spacek after seeing Carrie. She was my ideal woman-beautiful, petite, and possessed.’�
On the angriest he’s ever seen his mom: “When she found a bong under the driver’s seat of her car. She was a teacher, so showing up to school with a bong in her car was real bad.�
On pulling a bad guy move even though he’s a self-proclaimed good guy: “When I first met my wife, we went out on a few dates and I decided that I wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, so I just stopped calling. After three months, I had a revelation and called her back. She picked up the phone and said ‘Oh, I never thought I’d hear from you again.’�
On the nicest woman in rock: “Norah Jones. She played on our last record, and I was so surprised at how normal and pleasant she was for being such a musical genius.�
On his wife’s biggest complaint: “The fact that I’m virtually deaf. Any woman who’s going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown.� |
