Grohl is one of those guys who, in all honesty, deserves everything he's got. But if it weren't for some stupid shit when Nirvana was just starting to get big, Dave would definitely not be where he is right now. His band, Scream, had split up due to a the departure of their bass player, and he had just been to a Melvins concert with Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic and started to get to know the two of them. Kurt and Krist loved Dave's style of drumming and needed a new drummer, so after an audition, they added him as a full-time member to the now infamous lineup of Nirvana, the band that changed rock music forever.
With the music industry in the state it is, it's very refreshing to see an artist who loves what he does but can have a sense of humor about all of it. Dave is another one of those guys who takes what he does seriously but obviously thoroughly enjoys himself, like in the "Fresh Pots!" video from when Them Crooked Vultures were in the studio or his commentary on seeing Jake Shears' nutsack at a Scissor Sisters show.
Grohl has the Midas touch. I feel like everything he does turns successful.
