I met Dave in Cincinnati after a Foo show. I didn't ask him for anything, he grabbed a sticker and autographed it, gave me a towel and talked to me for about 10 minutes. Fantastic human being.
None of these people are fans. They're signature resellers and they constantly follow celebrities around like the paparazzi. If one guy got something signed, he'd be back the very next day tracking Dave down for "just 1 more signature".
Yea there's nothing wrong with only giving signatures as charity donations to use em as tax deductions and write offs lmao. Y'all are fools. People should be allowed to get their signatures and do whatever they want them, sell or even use as TP, who gives a shit. It's a free market.
If I did, I'd have a books worth, lol! If I was asking, I wouldn't have played, met, and partied with my heroes. They're normal people! And most normal people wouldn't even have stopped and taken time to talk to these beggars!
I was thinking the same 😂 Dave knew what he was dealing with 😂 I truly believe if his son was there he would of but since it’s a bunch of adults stalking him he knows likely that it’s going online to make money and Dave probably did say that in New York but if the man wants to sign then so be it & if he doesn’t so be it & probably only signs for true fans at shows & events plus DC he lived there so why not sign in DC.. Dave bought his first home here on the OBX back in 92 and would hand out at Mex-Econos in kill devil hills & was so down to earth & chill & at that time his face was very known unless Kurt was around him so he flew under the radar a lot 😂 when at the club
A grown man actually ran from fans that are the reason he has the life he has. Foo Fighters are lucky to even have fans, if it wasn't for Nirvana they probably wouldn't care as much
I know right. Dave is so polite. After the dude goes u signed something for somebody in DC after you were in New York. He had every right to be rude at that point but remained cool and more than giving with his time to talk with his fans.
@@PenutProject12 are you not aware of how they operate? They always ask for those things and then immediately sell them. There’s nothing wrong with them attempting to do it but there’s also nothing wrong with celebrities deciding not to help predatory people profit off of their name. 🤷🏻♂️
he explained his boundaries very clearly & politely, and when they refused to respect it, he left in a light-hearted humorous way. nicest guy in rock fr
@@Zack0409 yes, the “men” who are willing to run away like a bitch seem like they have much more self respect and confidence in themselves. It takes real bravery to show everyone what a little bitch you are.
Right? That’s the thing, even if they weren’t resellers, what true fan would want a signature directly tied to a memory of being chastised while they were getting it. Now if it was someone like Axl Rose or Hetfield, obviously that makes more sense but that was not Dave’s typical public persona. I’d feel embarrassed to have a prized possession that I guilted someone into signing.
@@TitaniumTurbinethey'll concoct whatever fantasy story they want anyway and that'll be the one they repeat for clout to their buddies and family. Reality schmeality
I've met Dave and i was just happy to just shake his hand and thank him for all of the positive impact his music has had in my life. Screw these resellers
Dave said during his time in Nirvana that he thought it was weird that people wanted his autograph. This doesn't surprise me. I don't blame him. People then turn around and sell it for a bunch of money.
Asking a question is not harassment. Its pretty obvious that being famous will involve signing stuff from fans, if you don't like the attention then don't become a celebrity.
Right? I've seen a couple people that I've a fan of and I didn't even want to bother them enough to say hello. I feel like the biggest respect you can give most celebrities is to let them have some chill time where they aren't being hounded.
I met a famous member of a famous band once in Starbucks. He was chilling on a couch with his kid. I politely turned to him and said how much his music meant to me growing up. That's all I wanted, was to thank HIM. He stood up, took a step toward me, extended his hand and shook my hand and said nice to meet you, what's your name. Very gracious. This was 18 years ago, Ill never forget it. I never once considered asking for his autograph. The exchange of kindness is enough for me.

I remember meeting him in Winnipeg. After we were sent to the wrong exit. We ended up at his tour bus. He invited us for hotdogs outside of his tour bus and took photos with us. God Bless Him...we did also get autographs.
They're so worried about an autograph from Dave Grohl when Dave Grohl is literally standing in front of them and they could've had a really cool once in a lifetime talk with the drummer from Nirvana
I met Dave at Rami Jaffe's Birthday party years ago. He was talking to a friend of his at a table. people started asking for pictures with him. My friend was able to get one with him. a few more people started to line up behind for the chance. Dave said he was sorry but he needed to get back to his friend and that he would not take anymore pictures. he then grabbed me and the guy next to me and gave us a big hug and said "next time guys". Dave is a solid dude and very respectful to his fans and friends.
@hashslingingslasher When I was younger I saw Rip Hamilton at the mall right after he'd won the Championship with the Pistons. Nice guy. I was there with my parents. They spoke for a hot sec and moved on. I asked my Dad if he was nervous because I was too starstruck to say anything to him. My Dad just laughed and said, "Son, that man bleeds like I do. He's a talented man but at the end of the day he's still human." That stuck with me. Since then I've met a few other celebs but always just treated them like people.
Yes, I got over this crap when I was a teenager and I saw a bunch of people staring at Woody Harrelson at a ski resort VIP area like he was a animal on display in a zoo… I said “I’m never going to do that to a human being.”
There’s nothing wrong with being excited when you see a celebrity cuz that’s just human nature. It’s only when ppl become obsessed or hound someone that it’s a problem.
He handled that real well, and a touch of Dave Grohliness at the end: “Here’s the other thing…..see ya”. Remember folks, he’s human. Let him enjoy his own life as he would wish you to do so.

@@delawarehistory1675 Yes, his fans bought albums and went to shows, but you make it sound like they got nothing in return. They paid for a product/service and that's exactly what they got.

I would ask if _you_ would want to sign autographs for a crowd of people everywhere _you_ went, but I doubt you'd answer it honestly.
I think they should be okay with him talking to them, being courteous and letting them film him. We all know plenty of celebrities that would've just walked on by with their heads down.
That's what I say just be honored that the guy that you woke up to or your favorite musician stopped to have a conversation with you I guarantee you they'd rather have a conversation even if it's about gas prices.

People seem more obsessed with signatures and photos than actually interacting with their idols. It makes no sense to me, it’s like they’re totally ignoring & objectifying their idol?
For real. Ya know what'd be funny? If he like said something like okay name 5 Nirvana Songs and 5 Foo Fighter songs and I got you. But yeh it's really annoying with some of these cases where you see IG and Twitter accounts of people who just go around and stake out where they know big names and celebrities will be just to get pictures and/or autographs just for the sake of "clout". And in reality they aren't fans at all of these people they are harassing.
I notice that a lot when people take selfies with a celeb. They open up their phone, take the selfie, look back at their phone, and then walk away for the next person to do the same. It’s wild. Focus on personal interactions!
In Switzerland, we have a living philosophy of "not bothering the other peoples". It's one of the reasons we have a ton of celebrities making holidays or having their mansion in our country. I can remember a story. I was sitting on a rather empty terrace in Fribourg. A famous rock festival was held in the region, not directly in Fribourg, but close. We where having a meal with my (now) wife, and a black person was sitting a few tables behind us. He was having a good time and there was a lot of laughter and happy time. At a moment, this person said something to his friends, and came closer to us. He asked us "Hey ? Do you know who I am ? " And I responded "of course, you are Mr. Ben Harper isn't it ?" He then asked "and you don't want my autograph ?" On this I answered "why bother you with that ? I'm already happy I was able to see you in this relax ambient. " He bursted out laughing "See guys ! I told you !" , and got back to his table. I can relate of numerous moments where I met famous peoples. Dave Grohl, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damne, Angus Young, this dude from Jackass, Slash, Nana Mouskouri, some arabian princess I can't speak out the name anymore, James Hettfield... and never did I bother them. They where just having a good life. I'm happy they choose my country to do so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you ever like to like look on past photographs? If yes, why do you do that? You should've just remembered your interaction with them. Stop saying it's bad to get autographs or selfies with celebs somebody loves.
@@Crucizer I didn't say it's bad to get an autograph, I'm just saying its better to have actually had a real interaction with him rather than just "Dave can I have your autograph!" and be done.

Yes and he is aware of that which is why he doesn’t sign things probably already had years of the fake encounters and got tired of paying for these losers rent expenses off his talent.

I agree. I never have understood the appeal in autographs to begin with... I would much rather have a short conversation with Dave Grohl, as a musician, & get his advice than to pester him about a signature that he doesn't want to give.
I grew up with posters of Napalm Death on my walls and when I happened to meet them in my 20's I didn't ask for an autograph or a photo- I just had a fkn amazing conversation that I'll always remember and cherish. Super nice fellows, too.
Imagine being a huge fan and just wanting to look him in the eye and say, “sir, thank you for your music”, but instead all those childish jackals insist on ruining the whole vibe for everyone!
That’s exactly what I did when I met my favorite skater at SLS. Everyone was like “sign this!” “Here take a pic!” I just shook his hand and told him how much I loved his skating.
Years ago, I was at this kinda famous band concert and everyone was asking for an artist to sign some shitty paper. I asked the artist for her pen and I signed for her. (Terrible english. I hope you could understand the story.)
When I was in in college in Fredonia, I got to hang and party with quite a few musicians who were there to play Fred Fest and Travis McCoy Gymclass Heroes, RDMC, Fishbone, and a bunch more, and never asked for an autograph. When Ben Harper openned for Dave Matthews Band, he was chilling in the parking lot smoking herb, I got to smoke with him and he gave me an autograph, I didn't ask. I was happy that I got to pass him a joint. These people should try just saying hello and enjoying the experience rather than trying to get a sovereigneer.
There are guys like this too that bring their kids with them for an extra way to appeal to it. And the kids are usually in on it too once they're old enough. They basically train their kids to tug on celebrity or athlete heart strings do they can flip some memorabilia for some money on Ebay.

@@ClaytonBigsby01 that's because charity exists to push politics. It's got major graces given to dirty charity that pop up all over. When they donate to one that is bogus, never any outrage. Why? Cause charity drives agendas, and that's why they do it. It's never the actual cause. Dave's a shill, he always has been. Nice guy in most ways, but that doesn't mean anything if this is his mindset.
They could have had a cool conversation and had a story about how they talked to Grohl, instead of the story about how they pestered him for his signature and then he ran away from them.
i agree this is prolly about ppl exploiting autographed stuff on ebay for profit, and he had enough of it. if i was a rockstar i wouldnt sign stuff neither for somebody to sell it a few years later.
There's a difference between fans and these assholes though. These people want him to sign their swag so they can resell it at a huge price online. He'll sign it, IF that profit then goes directly to charity. Dave does donate, and a lot of money at that. He's in the right here, because these people are just greedy vultures. If you're just some random person and you happen to bump into him I've heard he's more than happy.

Glad that people are understanding about this. Was expecting the opposite. There are a lot of people out there who hound celebrities for signature just to resell them. He's been signing autographs for over 30 years. He must be absolutely sick of it, especially when theyre sold the next day.
I met Axl Rose. This moment was so exciting that i forgot to ask for a autograph or selfie. So i have no proof. I was really sad the next days but now: I don't care anymore. It was the coolest moment of my life. This is my memory and memories are way more valuable than a autograph or photo in life. You met Dave Grohl. Keep your memories and be thankful. Thats more importent in life
Exactly. I had two interactions with a musician that I would put in my (very small) personal "music heroes" list on different occasions. Both were unexpected and very pleasant and relaxed. It never occurred to me to ask for an autograph ("selfies" weren't even a thing then and phone cameras were still mostly trash, anyway). I don't need to "prove" that we met, and instead of a hushed (and probably annoying to them) star vs. fan interaction I have the memories of just two guys having a pleasant chat.
You're confused. These are not Dave Grohl fans. These are paparazzi trying to get their paycheck. They have no issue begging and doing shady / reprehensible shit to get autographs, pics, videos, recordings etc. - it is their job.
I met my favourite singer(who come from the same town as I was) and fortunately, I managed to ask him for a picture. The picture come out soo good that I nearly cried. He's not as famous as Grohl but still, I grew up listening to his songs . Damn, I missed the old times when artist is not forced to do shits and can walk freely .
Did you see the emporer and marvel at his magical invisable garments? Howarvelous. The emporer has impecable sense of style and fashion. Seeing his invisable clothing is such an honour
I met Duff Mckagan crossing the street in a neighborhood near my house, i asked him politely for a selfie and he said yes, such a good moment, he was so nice ^^
Dave realized he was dealing with people begging and arguing like children, then gave them a child’s response 😂 I love it. Grown man begging for a signature or a pic. BEGGING like he has no dignity.

The Celebrity Craze of seeing them as unhuman is braindead.
@@dadasurreal86 Yes, because we should only treat bands like humans if they get popular. You see how rediculous that sounds? This shit applies to smaller bands. You know those bands are only signing shit because either 1. They're so new, they haven't gotten sick of it or 2. They're trying to grow their business. Maybe you get the odd people who enjoy it. But for most people, seeing shit you sign get auctioned off most of the time just devalues your love for it and ends up becoming a hatred, especially for semi-famous to incredibly famous bands or celebrities.
I met Burt Reynolds and said: "how about an autograph"....he said sure....so I took out pen /paper..signed my name and gave it to him and walked away..turned my head and saw him laughing.
Sorry, siding with Dave on this one. The fans are too pushy. Rockers don’t like discovering their signature is sold on eBay by scammers for outrageous prices, knowing it’s fake. Their only way to prevent this from happening to to go public with their refusal to sign stuff altogether, and warn potential buyers.
Ohhhh guys may make $75 selling his autograph? Who cares, it’s a dick move and most people waiting are fans. Not everyone is looking to make a buck off an autograph. Ronnie James Dio always had the right attitude for meeting and greeting his fans. This isn’t it. Also for him to only give his autograph for charity, most of his fans can’t afford what those get auctioned off for anyway. Lame!!
I call b.s. on that. So what if some greedy fools try to make money off of it. The price of a young fan getting his rockstar heroes signature can and is priceless. Grohl is wrong here. Not cool bro
People you had the chance just to meet Mr Grohl, it's great, I wish I meet him and could just say "hello thank You for the music" I would be so happy !
I had robert plant, tony iommi, geezer butler brush right past me at a ballet a few months ago. I was born decades after sabbath and zeppelin started, but have adored them since i was a kid. Never thought to bother these legends for a photo/autograph. They've had plenty already.
I mean honestly these people are fortunate they're even in his presence, and he doesn't have raging security on task. Could've turned around and took a semi close pic with him, or politely asked him for a quick two person 🤳. Sir Grohl probably wouldn't have been hesitant at all to do that, because if they were truly fans and truly honored to be in his presence, they would have had different energy than what they were feeding off in this clip. Nothing more than a bunch of people trying to make a couple bucks off of someone famous, and someone they probably don't even study musically. If it would have been me that somehow graced Dave grohl's presence, I would have asked for a 2-second selfie, after telling him he's amongst my top tier list of idols, and crying
Dave is one of the realest. He was just sick of signing stuff that was only going to end up on eBay so some vulture can earn a profit. He wants things to go to real fans and if it's going to be sold, he wants the money to go to a good cause.
I bought the first Foo Fighter CD when it came out. And it would be cool if I still had the thing and could get it signed. But 40 year old men begging for autographs is hilarious.
I regret watching this so Goddamn much. I got Dave’s autograph on a zippo when they came to Toronto in the summer of 2011 for the Wasting Light tour. I was 16, just read Heavier than Heaven, and I bought a ticket months in advance just to spent an entire day trying to hitchhike to the city. By an incredible act of God, I got picked up by a couple who were attending the show! Missed the opening act but made it before the Foo’s started their set. I remember going to the bathroom and miraculously found a pack of blue smokes by the urinal, which also joints in it! After the encore of Everlong, the next half hour was 15,000 people trying to leave thru 1 set of unlocked doors, so stupid me who made it this far, didn’t even attempt asking anybody for rides, I went straight for the tour buses and I’ll be Goddamned if as moments after I got their, Dave and Taylor slipped out the back doors. Me being literally the only other person their, I fuckin tried so hard to play it cool and offered them my smokes and lighter while saying something like “thank you for playing here” without going overboard like a teenage girl. God I haven’t thought about this in so long. They asked me if I had been to any shows or seen them before, and I told them this was my 1st concert, and summarized the day I just lived to them as they laughed. I swallowed my pride and said something to the effect of “before I figure out how I’m getting home tonight, could I trouble you guys for an autograph, please?” And briefly the conversation switched to how far away I lived, and honestly it was a 5 hour drive and God knows how many hours walking. They told me to wait here for a min, and when they came back, one of the Skydome’s security guards was on the phone with a cab company and I ended up getting a free lift home that night with a Foo Fighters tour date shirt, and my zippo autographed on both sides by Dave and Taylor. I lost that lighter somehow a few years ago, and because of my dad and I not being well off, I never had a phone until adulthood, so that was the only proof in the world I had that triggered the memories of that fateful day. Fuck man, actually just about started to get teary eyed writing and reliving.
This was completely hilarious and shows Ghrols sense of humor and personality … and none of these dummies even appreciate it cause their feigning for a stupid autograph

I got to see them live in Gothenburg the second time they visited after the first time when Dave tripped and broke his leg and got the paramedic to hold him up the whole time. They had a special song for the paramedic the next time and that felt special to me.

None of these people are fans. They're signature resellers and they constantly follow celebrities around like the paparazzi. If one guy got something signed, he'd be back the very next day tracking Dave down for "just 1 more signature".
True. Screw these bums. They can get a job like everyone else. Good for Dave Grohl and any other celeb that is wise enough to do the same.
I saw a video and these dudes were bum rushing him. They had vinyls, guitar faces, everything. It was so pathetic.

Yea you must know it all. Stop defending an egotistical POS who only became successful off Kurt's name. Geez lol.
Yea there's nothing wrong with only giving signatures as charity donations to use em as tax deductions and write offs lmao. Y'all are fools. People should be allowed to get their signatures and do whatever they want them, sell or even use as TP, who gives a shit. It's a free market.

@@sarahwolfe1154 what makes you say that?
“You said that in New York but then signed in DC the next day”. A grown man actually said that out loud.
I was thinking the same 😂 Dave knew what he was dealing with 😂 I truly believe if his son was there he would of but since it’s a bunch of adults stalking him he knows likely that it’s going online to make money and Dave probably did say that in New York but if the man wants to sign then so be it & if he doesn’t so be it & probably only signs for true fans at shows & events plus DC he lived there so why not sign in DC.. Dave bought his first home here on the OBX back in 92 and would hand out at Mex-Econos in kill devil hills & was so down to earth & chill & at that time his face was very known unless Kurt was around him so he flew under the radar a lot 😂 when at the club
I met Dave at Bob and ediths diner on Columbia pike in Arlington va back in the late 90s. Cool dude. I was probably 16

Right? That’s the thing, even if they weren’t resellers, what true fan would want a signature directly tied to a memory of being chastised while they were getting it.

@hashslingingslasher When I was younger I saw Rip Hamilton at the mall right after he'd won the Championship with the Pistons. Nice guy. I was there with my parents. They spoke for a hot sec and moved on. I asked my Dad if he was nervous because I was too starstruck to say anything to him. My Dad just laughed and said, "Son, that man bleeds like I do. He's a talented man but at the end of the day he's still human." That stuck with me. Since then I've met a few other celebs but always just treated them like people.
Yes, I got over this crap when I was a teenager and I saw a bunch of people staring at Woody Harrelson at a ski resort VIP area like he was a animal on display in a zoo… I said “I’m never going to do that to a human being.”
There’s nothing wrong with being excited when you see a celebrity cuz that’s just human nature. It’s only when ppl become obsessed or hound someone that it’s a problem.

For real. Ya know what'd be funny? If he like said something like okay name 5 Nirvana Songs and 5 Foo Fighter songs and I got you.
But yeh it's really annoying with some of these cases where you see IG and Twitter accounts of people who just go around and stake out where they know big names and celebrities will be just to get pictures and/or autographs just for the sake of "clout". And in reality they aren't fans at all of these people they are harassing.
Because he’s not their idol. They just want stuff to sell.
these people aren't real fans, just people trying to make a quick buck
I notice that a lot when people take selfies with a celeb. They open up their phone, take the selfie, look back at their phone, and then walk away for the next person to do the same. It’s wild. Focus on personal interactions!
IKR?. It's goofy.
In Switzerland, we have a living philosophy of "not bothering the other peoples". It's one of the reasons we have a ton of celebrities making holidays or having their mansion in our country.
I can remember a story. I was sitting on a rather empty terrace in Fribourg. A famous rock festival was held in the region, not directly in Fribourg, but close. We where having a meal with my (now) wife, and a black person was sitting a few tables behind us. He was having a good time and there was a lot of laughter and happy time.
At a moment, this person said something to his friends, and came closer to us. He asked us "Hey ? Do you know who I am ? " And I responded "of course, you are Mr. Ben Harper isn't it ?"
He then asked "and you don't want my autograph ?"
On this I answered "why bother you with that ? I'm already happy I was able to see you in this relax ambient. "
He bursted out laughing "See guys ! I told you !" , and got back to his table.
I can relate of numerous moments where I met famous peoples. Dave Grohl, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damne, Angus Young, this dude from Jackass, Slash, Nana Mouskouri, some arabian princess I can't speak out the name anymore, James Hettfield... and never did I bother them. They where just having a good life. I'm happy they choose my country to do so.
I would much rather have the memory of actually interacting with him than just getting his name written on some object.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you ever like to like look on past photographs? If yes, why do you do that? You should've just remembered your interaction with them. Stop saying it's bad to get autographs or selfies with celebs somebody loves.
@@Crucizer I didn't say it's bad to get an autograph, I'm just saying its better to have actually had a real interaction with him rather than just "Dave can I have your autograph!" and be done.

That’s exactly what I did when I met my favorite skater at SLS. Everyone was like “sign this!” “Here take a pic!”
I just shook his hand and told him how much I loved his skating.
Imagine someone took the opportunity to ask him a good question, and he said something meaningful, or funny. What a waste of everyone's time.
Years ago, I was at this kinda famous band concert and everyone was asking for an artist to sign some shitty paper. I asked the artist for her pen and I signed for her. (Terrible english. I hope you could understand the story.)
Grohl’s response was candid and classy.
This is why Ringo Starr stopped signing things people would send him, there’s just too many disingenuous people out there
no more fan mail I'm warning you with peace and love
Would send him what?
i have too much to do peace and love peace and love
WITH PEACE AND LOVE
Y’all are all dynamic banter fans and it shows 💕🤣👍🏽
When I was in in college in Fredonia, I got to hang and party with quite a few musicians who were there to play Fred Fest and Travis McCoy Gymclass Heroes, RDMC, Fishbone, and a bunch more, and never asked for an autograph. When Ben Harper openned for Dave Matthews Band, he was chilling in the parking lot smoking herb, I got to smoke with him and he gave me an autograph, I didn't ask. I was happy that I got to pass him a joint. These people should try just saying hello and enjoying the experience rather than trying to get a sovereigneer.
I find it so weird grown men begging another grown man for an autograph. Never understood it
$$$
There are guys like this too that bring their kids with them for an extra way to appeal to it. And the kids are usually in on it too once they're old enough. They basically train their kids to tug on celebrity or athlete heart strings do they can flip some memorabilia for some money on Ebay.
They're leeches that turn around and sell the memorabilia.
maybe cuz they grew up listening to him😓😓
They sell it
“Come on Dave please” like bro literally get a life.
Cringe-ass fans...
Guys like 35 probably too
I'm sure there is a musical artist you are a fan of that if you ran into you'd be excited asf. That's davis ghrol that should be expected from fans tbh. This is actually mild.
@@smokepurp5614 nah dude this isn't normal. If you think it is then you're just as bad

Listen, you got to talk to Dave Grohl. Who gets to do that? And instead of having a conversation worth while, you squandered it by begging for his autograph. Don’t ask people for autographs. Especially if you’re a grown ass man.
Hey, pal...When did Dave become God??
He didn't, but grown men are literally begging for him to write his name on their piece of paper which is weird
So, it's fine when women do the same?
Oh wow they got to talk to Dave Grohl and what??! The man is a tosser who has played off his involvement with a genius for most of his adult life. The Foo Fighters are really bad. Would you be really pleased to talk to him?
@@Mac-td7ltlove it mate. I hate the perception that Grohl is this rock god. He’s so far from that. He makes me like Courtney Love and that is saying something!
Those guys were harassing Dave for his signature,that they thought they could make a profit of later.Dave was wise not to sign.
No he's a bitch. They all probably bought his records. He's a dumb bitch, that's what dumb bitches do, they act smart then run.
@@godshammer3122 Tell us where Dave hurt you buddy 😂
@@cam_ca973 hahaha
No he’s a bitch. Doesn’t matter what they do with it later . Plus the guy asked to make it out to his son. This is a cop out a I’m so tired of everything going to charity . It’s all a fucking scam. All this money goes to charity but what good have charity’s done ? None I can see . Billions are donated every year I see no improvement in the causes they support .
@@ClaytonBigsby01 that's because charity exists to push politics. It's got major graces given to dirty charity that pop up all over. When they donate to one that is bogus, never any outrage. Why? Cause charity drives agendas, and that's why they do it. It's never the actual cause. Dave's a shill, he always has been. Nice guy in most ways, but that doesn't mean anything if this is his mindset.

They could have had a cool conversation and had a story about how they talked to Grohl, instead of the story about how they pestered him for his signature and then he ran away from them.
Dave is a good guy, this isn't being a jerk, it's sticking to his word.
He promoted AlDS denial and never apologized.
Everyone should have aides, if they can afford it.
He promoted AlDS denial and never apologized.....

@@iggypopisgod9 Just type in "Foo Fighters AlDS denial." Lot's of sources have documented. it.
i agree this is prolly about ppl exploiting autographed stuff on ebay for profit, and he had enough of it. if i was a rockstar i wouldnt sign stuff neither for somebody to sell it a few years later.
He says he only signs for charity, but then some guy asks Grohl "Can you donate something?" LOL
insanity
Now look at the Democrat party and you will understand exactly how America was destroyed by them.
Lol. That was hilarious. Well done.
There's a difference between fans and these assholes though. These people want him to sign their swag so they can resell it at a huge price online. He'll sign it, IF that profit then goes directly to charity. Dave does donate, and a lot of money at that. He's in the right here, because these people are just greedy vultures. If you're just some random person and you happen to bump into him I've heard he's more than happy.

“Here’s the other thing…SEE YA!” God i love Dave.
Why because he obviously has loads of talent? The man is a money grabbing idiot.
Congratulations on repeating the punchline. What an astounding comment 🙄😒🥱😴
Have you seen his twitter? Dave's a psycho.
@@williamhoover9699He quoted it to express amusement for the punchline, stop reaching
@@Derg2003 you're reaching with that lmfao "stop reaching"
It's a short. That punchline is half of the video. It was intended to be the amusing part. Everyone that liked the video was amused at this part. You don't see a comment section full of this garbage though. He might as well say "1st" while he's at it.
I like how Dave actually interacts with his fans. I’d rather say I was here and have this hilarious story instead of a signature
these aren't fans, which is the entire point.
Hundred percent, absolutely
I completely agree. I've met two celebrities in my life and I just shook hands and said "I enjoy what you do, good luck sir/madam". In the midst of raging lunatics shoving sharpies to their face. Must get old really quick.
Trouble is they wouldn’t be able to sell that on eBay! Not legit fans at all!

That "see ya" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Like something from family guy lol
@@gingeta5961 it's Simpson's humour don't get it twisted
Yeah it’s not even funny.
No it wasn't isn't.
Glad that people are understanding about this. Was expecting the opposite. There are a lot of people out there who hound celebrities for signature just to resell them. He's been signing autographs for over 30 years. He must be absolutely sick of it, especially when theyre sold the next day.
I met Axl Rose. This moment was so exciting that i forgot to ask for a autograph or selfie. So i have no proof. I was really sad the next days but now: I don't care anymore. It was the coolest moment of my life. This is my memory and memories are way more valuable than a autograph or photo in life.
You met Dave Grohl. Keep your memories and be thankful. Thats more importent in life
Exactly. I had two interactions with a musician that I would put in my (very small) personal "music heroes" list on different occasions. Both were unexpected and very pleasant and relaxed. It never occurred to me to ask for an autograph ("selfies" weren't even a thing then and phone cameras were still mostly trash, anyway). I don't need to "prove" that we met, and instead of a hushed (and probably annoying to them) star vs. fan interaction I have the memories of just two guys having a pleasant chat.
You're confused. These are not Dave Grohl fans. These are paparazzi trying to get their paycheck. They have no issue begging and doing shady / reprehensible shit to get autographs, pics, videos, recordings etc. - it is their job.
I met my favourite singer(who come from the same town as I was) and fortunately, I managed to ask him for a picture. The picture come out soo good that I nearly cried. He's not as famous as Grohl but still, I grew up listening to his songs . Damn, I missed the old times when artist is not forced to do shits and can walk freely .
Did you see the emporer and marvel at his magical invisable garments?
Howarvelous. The emporer has impecable sense of style and fashion. Seeing his invisable clothing is such an honour
I met Duff Mckagan crossing the street in a neighborhood near my house, i asked him politely for a selfie and he said yes, such a good moment, he was so nice ^^
Dave realized he was dealing with people begging and arguing like children, then gave them a child’s response 😂 I love it. Grown man begging for a signature or a pic. BEGGING like he has no dignity.
Now that the music industry and scene has become so centralized it wouldn’t hurt to be more Philanthropic Dave! As an longstruggling artist I like you and nirvana but in this day and age we need Decentralization and make music accessible available on street corners the new thing

How do you know, the video started mid way
@@zcmoore80 Can you not hear in the desperate tone "sIgN iT fOr mY sOn"... Like dude, he only signs shit for charity.

The Celebrity Craze of seeing them as unhuman is braindead.
@@WanderingExistence Don’t try to explain to a typical American glutton who, if nirvana never became a pop band, would not even know who Dave was.
@@dadasurreal86 Yes, because we should only treat bands like humans if they get popular.
You see how rediculous that sounds? This shit applies to smaller bands. You know those bands are only signing shit because either 1. They're so new, they haven't gotten sick of it or 2. They're trying to grow their business.
Maybe you get the odd people who enjoy it. But for most people, seeing shit you sign get auctioned off most of the time just devalues your love for it and ends up becoming a hatred, especially for semi-famous to incredibly famous bands or celebrities.

Dam even as he was leaving they were still yelling at him to sign stuff expecting him to go do it🤦♀️ pathetic
idiots 🤦🏻
Morons
Really amazing 👏 very good job! As a fan of Linkin Park i really like this. Sounds very real thanks for this
Sorry, siding with Dave on this one. The fans are too pushy. Rockers don’t like discovering their signature is sold on eBay by scammers for outrageous prices, knowing it’s fake. Their only way to prevent this from happening to to go public with their refusal to sign stuff altogether, and warn potential buyers.
He’s not refusing to sign because of eBay scammers. 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
Me too
Besides, all the hard copies are technically autographed. Whether signed with a laser, a needle, a magnet… and they take 45-70 minutes to read.
Ohhhh guys may make $75 selling his autograph? Who cares, it’s a dick move and most people waiting are fans. Not everyone is looking to make a buck off an autograph. Ronnie James Dio always had the right attitude for meeting and greeting his fans. This isn’t it. Also for him to only give his autograph for charity, most of his fans can’t afford what those get auctioned off for anyway. Lame!!
I call b.s. on that. So what if some greedy fools try to make money off of it. The price of a young fan getting his rockstar heroes signature can and is priceless. Grohl is wrong here. Not cool bro
That's classic nirvana humor 💜💜💜
nostalgic
Yep, love it
@@berrybliss8184
Is it? No idea, but I loved it. Harmless and cute. He could've lost his shit and he didn't. I adore this guy.
is that so? i didn`t know !
People you had the chance just to meet Mr Grohl, it's great, I wish I meet him and could just say "hello thank You for the music" I would be so happy !
I had robert plant, tony iommi, geezer butler brush right past me at a ballet a few months ago.
I was born decades after sabbath and zeppelin started, but have adored them since i was a kid. Never thought to bother these legends for a photo/autograph. They've had plenty already.
Dave is a real life Joestar, the way he executed his secret technique.
SMOKEY!!!
“NIGERUNDAYO!!”
Imagine being able to spend a few moments with Dave, and being a beggar.
I mean honestly these people are fortunate they're even in his presence, and he doesn't have raging security on task. Could've turned around and took a semi close pic with him, or politely asked him for a quick two person 🤳. Sir Grohl probably wouldn't have been hesitant at all to do that, because if they were truly fans and truly honored to be in his presence, they would have had different energy than what they were feeding off in this clip. Nothing more than a bunch of people trying to make a couple bucks off of someone famous, and someone they probably don't even study musically. If it would have been me that somehow graced Dave grohl's presence, I would have asked for a 2-second selfie, after telling him he's amongst my top tier list of idols, and crying
Don't you have friends?
I know right, I think I’d tell him my favourite joke
These people are professional autograph hounds. They aren't fans
Cringe.
Dave is one of the realest. He was just sick of signing stuff that was only going to end up on eBay so some vulture can earn a profit. He wants things to go to real fans and if it's going to be sold, he wants the money to go to a good cause.
lol arrogant prick he is....As HIS autograph would be worth anything...he just a human being like everyone else.
Ya I hate people making money off me and I don't get a cut or credit for it too. 😅
That’s weird that people pay money for a signature.
I bought the first Foo Fighter CD when it came out. And it would be cool if I still had the thing and could get it signed. But 40 year old men begging for autographs is hilarious.
@@Sebastian-dx2xgTommy Lee saw his signature on Ebay and people were bidding so he decided to stop signing as well.
I regret watching this so Goddamn much. I got Dave’s autograph on a zippo when they came to Toronto in the summer of 2011 for the Wasting Light tour.
I was 16, just read Heavier than Heaven, and I bought a ticket months in advance just to spent an entire day trying to hitchhike to the city. By an incredible act of God, I got picked up by a couple who were attending the show!
Missed the opening act but made it before the Foo’s started their set. I remember going to the bathroom and miraculously found a pack of blue smokes by the urinal, which also joints in it!
After the encore of Everlong, the next half hour was 15,000 people trying to leave thru 1 set of unlocked doors, so stupid me who made it this far, didn’t even attempt asking anybody for rides, I went straight for the tour buses and I’ll be Goddamned if as moments after I got their, Dave and Taylor slipped out the back doors.
Me being literally the only other person their, I fuckin tried so hard to play it cool and offered them my smokes and lighter while saying something like “thank you for playing here” without going overboard like a teenage girl.
God I haven’t thought about this in so long. They asked me if I had been to any shows or seen them before, and I told them this was my 1st concert, and summarized the day I just lived to them as they laughed.
I swallowed my pride and said something to the effect of “before I figure out how I’m getting home tonight, could I trouble you guys for an autograph, please?” And briefly the conversation switched to how far away I lived, and honestly it was a 5 hour drive and God knows how many hours walking.
They told me to wait here for a min, and when they came back, one of the Skydome’s security guards was on the phone with a cab company and I ended up getting a free lift home that night with a Foo Fighters tour date shirt, and my zippo autographed on both sides by Dave and Taylor.
I lost that lighter somehow a few years ago, and because of my dad and I not being well off, I never had a phone until adulthood, so that was the only proof in the world I had that triggered the memories of that fateful day.
Fuck man, actually just about started to get teary eyed writing and reliving.
This was completely hilarious and shows Ghrols sense of humor and personality … and none of these dummies even appreciate it cause their feigning for a stupid autograph

I got to see them live in Gothenburg the second time they visited after the first time when Dave tripped and broke his leg and got the paramedic to hold him up the whole time. They had a special song for the paramedic the next time and that felt special to me. Europeans don't have this sort of paparazzi, I atleast have never seen something where they demand anything from the artists
Please, leave this man alone. We need him still.

i taught my son when he was young, never beg for another mans signature. you can admire someone, look up to them, but they are still just another flawed human being. why are signatures valued so much?
