My cousin is the manager for the band Rise Against. One day in September they were opening for Foo Fighters. We got tickets and backstage passes. So after the show we went backstage and waited for about an hour until the guys from Foo came out and chatted to people.
We went over and finally got Dave Grohl's attention.
Dave. Fucking. Grohl.
He was probably one of the coolest guys I've met. We talked about the show and just music in general.
I eventually gave him a demo CD I had put together and he didn't shrug it off like I thought he would. I opened it up and read the song titles and everything and he seemed really interested. After, he wished me the best of luck with the cancer treatment I was about to undergo and it just seemed so sincere.
Most badass dude. Period.
