1 | * CreatorWorship: '''Oh, Yes'''. Given his extensive work in many different bands, his impressive musical skills across a variety of fields and his reputation as [[NiceGuy an extremely friendly and charming person]] to both fans and other musicians, it's really not surprising he ended up with this. |
2 | * SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: During [[Music/{{Motorhead}} Lemmy's funeral]], Dave himself recounted a story on how when first meeting Lemmy, he mentioned having been in Music/{{Nirvana}} and gushed about being a huge fan of his work. Lemmy's first words to Dave? "Hey, I'm sorry about what happened to [[Music/KurtCobain your friend]]". |
3 | * MemeticMutation: Dave Grohl is actually UsefulNotes/JesusChrist. |
4 | * SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: After missing a jump off stage and breaking his ankle in June 2015, Dave returned to the stage in 15 minutes. In a wheelchair and with a paramedic bandaging his ankle, he continued to perform for the crowd. |
5 | * OvershadowedByControversy: In December 2014, Dave finally got his first solo ''Magazine/RollingStone'' magazine cover. Sadly, that moment was completely overshadowed by the "A Rape on Campus" article in the same issue.[[note]]That story, wherein a student claimed she was sexually assaulted multiple times and her school covered it up, sparked a wave of mass protests, but turned out to be so poorly researched – no attempt was ever made by the author to talk with any of the boys accused ''or'' the police to corroborate her allegations, and independent fact-checkers quickly discovered the student had lied about everything – that the magazine was forced to retract it and blackball the author. The University of Virginia, where the nonexistent rapes occurred, has considered suing for defamation.[[/note]] |
