1. Too good!

"That which burns twice as bright lasts half as long."

Turns out there we're at least two musical geniuses in that band.

Here's to many, many more years, Mr. Grohl!

2. Chad Channing

He was the drummer on Bleach.

What an amazing turn of events in Grohl's life. From his band falling apart and him sleeping on Cobain's couch to the 20 days making Nevermind.

They were badass right out of the gate!

4. He who is tired of Dave Grohl is tired of life!

5. My friend almost auditioned for that spot after their previous drummer left.

But he was more of a jazz guy and didn't want the disruption in his life, plus he had seen them in their early days and thought they were terrible.
