Dave Grohl can't really sing, can he

I just heard him butcher Stairway To Heaven on the radio. Dear god, man, stick to just screaming.

If that's what I think it is he was just fucking around with his drummer for fun on some talk show.

edit: Or maybe it's on the new live CD?

I actually LOVE his voice. It's breathy and floaty (no pun intended..) and also one of the better screamers around in popular rock music.

you should listen to the new Foo Fighters live cd that just came out...his voice is really amazing on it, I was really surprised how good he sounded!

I think he has a really beutiful voice, but his screaming is pretty bad. The first tour, he gave me the chills everytime he sang.
But Foo fighters was only good on their first record, when grohl wrote it all.
C.A.T.S was ok, but then a big no no

i dont like his voice at all

i dont think he's terrible at singing...his lyrics recently are weak as all hell though.

He is good in spots, and he was great when he harmonized with Kurt.

My general opinion of Grohl is that he needs to stop being a front man. I loved the Foo Fighters at first for maybe the first record and part of the second, now he seems to have driven them straight to the middle of the road and parked them right in the middle of generic radio rock land. Grohl seems at his best when he is augmenting someone else, like when he plays with QOTSA.

But that is just me.

i used to be a big dave grohl hater as lead singer,loved him with nirvana.so i bought the ff live cd skin and was bones and blown away by his voice.dude can sing

I GOT ANOTHER CONFESSION TO MAKE!!!!!!!!

i think that dave grohl, eddie vedder, jack white and beck are the most talented people in music today.

Dave's voice is good enough for rock and roll.

Now, if we're talking about most complete musician, Dave is certainly that. The guy is easily one of the most talented rock musicians in the game today. He's one of the sickest drummers ever, a good singer, a servicable guitarist and bassist. He can and does do it all.

The first Foos album was all Dave, and he did that sort of thing for years before he had a record deal. There used to be tapes floating around in the Baltimore/Washington region of "Dave doing everything" songs. I think that's why his music is so good to be honest. He has a very sharp sense of how to put it all together.
