Top 10 Kindest Rock Musicians
David Eric "Dave" Grohl is an American rock musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer and film director. He is best known as the former drummer of the hugely popular 90s grunge band Nirvana and the vocalist/guitarist for the alternative rock band Foo Fighters. He has sat behind the drums for many bands and artists, most notably: Queens of the Stone Age, Tenacious D, Ghost B.C, Them Crooked Vultures, Tom Petty, Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Scream, Probot and many, many more. I was actually going to add Dave Grohl if he wasn't on the list but he's number one! Dave Grohl is really nice, he cares about his fans. Once during a concert he broke his leg and still finished the concert. Also, once I think the drummer of cage the elephant got sick, so he couldn't play in a concert. Somehow Dave Grohl had been informed of this and he decided to help cage the elephant by substituting for the drummer when he was sick. I went to a Foo Fighters concert recently and it was awesome.
Good guy Grohl totally deserves this number one spot. If you don't believe me, look up good guy Grohl on YouTube
