A silly comment, yes, But apparently Grohl's daughter was recently sent death threats and chased off twitter by a mob of TS fans after she made a comment about TS' private jet usage. So he could have been just trying to take the heat off his daughter.

Huge numbers of Swift fans are quintessential cult fanatics. Swift has done nothing to abate that kind of behavior, even when it includes dangerous behavior like threatening Grohl's daughter.
Overt fanaticism, unbridled hero worship, mass crowd behavior, and mountains of glitz. No wonder some of us can't stand Swift.

That fan base…… jeez. Disgusting.
One of you drove and crashed into Eddie Vedders House. So that must be all of you. jeez.

Yea definitely the same thing. Are you saying theyre not known as one of the most toxic fan bases in the world? Are you defending that behavior?
Taylor has said in the past threatening people isn't something she condones. She's got the biggest fanbase in the world, she can't address every single thing a bunch of internet dopes do.
Grohl's daughter is a dope for attacking private plane usage (ZERO doubt her dad, his band and her own family use one) and death threats from extremely online fans makes those people look dumb too.
I just don't get the look of attacking fellow musicians. It gives off the airs of rockism as if The Foos type of show is more authentic than her show. Ok, maybe they have samples that are triggered and autotune for bunk notes, but these dudes practiced everyday for most of their life like he did. They ground it out playing shitty gigs like most artists. A musician is a musician. Just because they want to present their show in a certain way to the fans vs another doesn't make on better than the other. And I get it, its punching up, shes the biggest in the world. There just wasn't really a reason to punch up. Like what does HE get out of it?

I think hes saying don't paint with a broad brush. The few shitty fans don't represent the vast majority.

Obviously ..but you don’t get a reputation for no reason.
People are gonna be shitty, regardless of the size of the fanbase (and being one of the largest in the world, you’re gonna get more - especially being of the very online demographic)
She can’t micromanage everything fans do.

Or maybe… just maybe… Dave was making a joke and the cesspit that is social media went apeshit over it.
Foo Fighters fans defending Dave are being called “misogynistic” Swifties are labelled “obsessives” or worse. There are no winners here.
