“Some day I’ll have to tell you the rest,” he writes in the acknowledgments. He also has three daughters who will in all likelihood read this the book feels like an intentionally PG take on what could be a much rowdier, more hair-raising tale. It seems obvious that Grohl would not want to tear open cauterised wounds. In 2014 Grohl, Novoselic and Love ended years of suits and counter-suits over the rights to Nirvana’s music with a very public show of solidarity. Grohl deals with the addiction factually and sadly, and steers round the latter entirely. Cobain’s death was preceded by disenchantment, heroin addiction and a tempestuous marriage to Courtney Love. There’s relatively little here about all that. Were they so inclined, Nirvana’s surviving members – Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic – could rehash the most painful time of their musical lives in perpetuity, such is the insatiable appetite for Cobain-themed rock’n’roll rubbernecking. The band’s legacy remains overshadowed by the 1994 suicide of singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain. I f you are curious about Dave Grohl, drummer from “tragic grunge poster boys” Nirvana, whose Nevermind album has just turned 30, The Storyteller might not be the memoir for you.
