In January this year Q magazine named Dave one of their ‘Artists Of The Century’, then in May he was #35 in the list of ‘100 Greatest Frontmen’ & now he’s back on the cover of the October issue as one of “The 10 Most Exciting People In Music Now”.
The ‘What I’ve Learned’ Q&A covers heroin, looking like a cock and the benefits of being the ‘nicest man in rock’.
The August issue of Q magazine is on shelves now and features the ‘Hot List – 50 Reasons Why This Summer Will Rock’. Number 2 on the list is ‘Dave Grohl: what’s next?’

The guitar is listed as being donated by Q magazine - Dave onced smashed a guitar for a Q photoshoot (in fact the photo used for the auction is from that very photoshoot) but the very same issue ran a competition to win the guitar through a premium rate phone-in on Q’s TV channel… this couldn’t be the same guitar. Could it?
Dave was on the cover of Q’s last issue and this month he’s back with an exclusive Them Crooked Vultures interview/photoshoot.

Kerrang! - “Far too vital to be nostalgia.”
“Wheels might only be a mid-paced radiorock staple, but Word Forward snaps into life with spittle and swearing that reduces fears that they’re settling into a comfort zone with age.”
5/5
Q – “Testemony to Grohl’s intuitive ear for naive melody and an artisan’s dedication to crafting the perfect aural snack.”
“Word Forward is regulation written to order. But Wheels is something else: a glossy slice of bittersweet country rock choogle that is so similar to Tom Petty’s Learning to Fly it must be the result of a gentleman’s agreement.”
4/5
