Dave Grohl is one tough cookie. He’s savage, funny as anything, and all in all, a total badass.
From his start in Scream to his break in Nirvana to founding the Foo Fighters, Grohl has consistently proven his resilience and overall coolness. And you know he’s definitely been this cool since birth (thanks Virginia Grohl), it’s clear. He is a legendary performer who has, in all honesty, been through the wringer.
He just might be the most heartwarming rock musician in the world. Everything he touches turns into something cool. He famously lives his life in a fun way, providing the public with some pretty badass moments over the years.
The best part of it all is just how good of a musician he is. He is a generational talent with a heart of gold. He is so good, he doesn’t have to worry about what others think of him. That’s a fun advantage to have, huh?
We’ve loved watching Dave Grohl throughout the years. From hilarious stunts to straight-up bravery and tenacity, we’ve enjoyed it all. He’s just one of those guys you always root for, ya know? It takes a badass to be known as “the nicest guy in rock n’ roll.”
Here are 6 times Dave Grohl proved he’s a total badass:
Performing Through A Broken Leg
You knew this would be on here. And you knew it would be the first thing we hit on. And if you didn’t know this, here’s what happened. Dave was performing at Nya Ullevi stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2015 when he fell off the stage. They were performing their hit song “Monkey Wrench.” With his microphone still in hand, he announced to the packed crowd: “I think I just broke my leg. I’m going to go to hospital. I’m going to fix my leg and then I’m going to come back.” Grohl continued the show from a chair after medics set his leg. He was told to lay low afterward to heal, but no. He simply performed shows from an epic throne.
