This is what "holding a mirror to society" literally means. People care because they hear the shades of their own stories in this one. They project their ideal self onto the artists they love and then get hurt when those people turn out to be not ideal as well. It's pretty normal psychological stuff. Artists who have been around a block a few times, like Dave, don't care all that much about their reaction, they know how it all works.

one of my closest friends got pissed off at me because I told them that bringing it up every time someone mentioned dave or foo fighters was annoying. "so you don't care about people who get cheated on?" obviously i do, but I know how to mind my business as well. I'm not gonna stop listening to music I like because some dude decided "yeah, i'm gonna go crack some buns that isn't my wife's lol" it's none of our business anyway

I remember going to blockbuster music in 1995 with a friend who said "hey, this is Dave Grohl's new album" and as 90s middle school boy there were few people cooler to me than Nirvana's drummer, so it was a no brainer. Hard to believe that was 30 years ago! What a journey this band has been on...I hope they're around another 20 years :)

Indeed they have!! I try to embrace the change and just enjoy the music, the happy memories of going to used CD shops will always be there :)

I have no idea what that means haha, but do I feel like an older rock fan that can't relate to the original rock fans from the 70s or the young kids? Yes...very much so haha.

Dave has truly been a pioneer of Butt-Rock. From humble beginnings with Nirvana to his groundbreaking work trailblazing an entirely new genre with the foo fighters, Cringe-Buttrock, 6th grade car rides to soccer practice with Mom will never be the same again

Sucks he committed adultery but at least Dave had the balls to admit he fucked up rather than acted like a typical conservative shithead by denying it.

Forget who wrote the quote, think about its application here. Somebody here is using Dave Grohl's adultery to "dunk" on "conservative shitheads". The implication being conservative men commit adultery more than any other group or that they don't own their mistake. It is a small minded unfounded generalization and it is cringe. This is a shoutbox of a band, music not politics. Folks need to stop bringing up politics where it is not asked for or welcome.

That's a you problem, lol. I see too many conservatives (mainly of the American brand) refusing to owe up to their bullshit, instead blaming everything else except themselves. I'm just pointing that out because I am at least glad that Grohl is not afraid to owe up to his own bullshit and admit his own drawbacks, making him a bigger man than sniveling right leaning assholes. You're the only screaming "nah nah nah, I don't wanna here it" when it's the goddamn truth.

It is a gross generalization coming from someone who obviously interacts with political movements like they are sports teams, cringe. There are men of all political persuasions being "shitheads". Plus nobody asked for you to get on your soapbox and bring politics when it has nothing to do with the Dave Grohl situation or the music.

I like some of their songs and I think they're good. I know Dave as the drummer from Nirvana, which is cool. Overall, everything's fine. But I find it hard to listen to their full albums because, to me, most of the songs sound very similar. Maybe it's a lack of creativity?

I don't like cheaters, not at all. But Dave Grohl has been a cheater for like his whole adult life, and I knew about before the latest news broke. Sooooo I'm just continuing to love his music in spite of this most recent 'disappointment' ;)

I hate the people who are now all morally outraged. let he who is without sin cast the first stone. It's his private matter and he will sort it out on his own.

i'm not going to stop listening to the band, but this whole situation has me very upset :( i really looked up to dave grohl, he seemed like a genuinely great person and he was my favorite drummer, so to hear about all this was very crushing. i never really cared about this kind of stuff in the past but now that it's someone i actually looked up to, it does feel pretty bad. i think foo fighters will still be one of my favorite bands though. the other members shouldn't be brought into this and i think it's good to separate art from the artist when said art isn't promoting bad things.

Why are people so obsessed with cheating stories all of a sudden? It's literally none of y'alls business

Anecdotal experience, but the newer generations skew towards being more into judgemental morality/slightly puritanical when it comes to such matters. Internet/parasociality only amplifies this effect. You'll see many comments here from newer users, so I assume Gen Z or possibly some Gen Alpha so it figures. Cheating sucks - never cheated, been cheated on, yet idgaf about this case. Musicians/artistic people have never been paragons of virtue and never will be. Their purpose is to provide entertainment. If it were a friend of mine it'd be a hell of a situation, but it ain't.

Not going to defend cheating, but people behave like Grohl established a system to pressure young girls into having sex under the stage during a concert or has invited children to stay overnight on his ranch. He betrayed his wife, which is bad, but a very personal matter. Cheating is very common, unfortunately. Would you stop visit your dentist because he cheated on his wife?

suppose it's because the most vocal group on the internet are the kids that think 18 yo should go to jail for dating a 16 yo and stuff like that. (also i talked to one fan that i know is a young person, that i knew already dave was sleeping around before so i figured he probably had an open relationship or some agreement about this with his wife, and they said they think open relationships are wrong, lmao)

Funny how the account who posted the baby deleted it, admitted it was fake, and also Dave Grohl telling multiple news sources it is "100% fake". This was obviously a sabotage by those insane swifties yet nobody seems to be looking into it and believing the first shit they see on the internet.

he was always sleeping around and i'm certain i read an article that mentioned him and lemmy going to a strip club when dave was already married. tbh i figured he's got some agreement about this with his wife. open relationships are apparently popular in the industry
