Dave's entry (interview): 5 Dave Grohl How does it feel to be voted one of the coolest people in rock? "Well being cool is not something I've ever really experienced. But if someone thinks I'm cool, it's kind of flattering. I've always considered myself kind of geeky, just because I feel kind of uncertain in some social situations. I like to spend most time alone." What do you think makes you cool? "What makes someone cool is their lack of insecurity. Whether they're a complete freak or a perfect gentleman, it's insecurities that wind up making someone look like an arsehole. That's what I think is cool about me – hat I don't care what anyone else thinks. I've read reviews of our records where people will say ‘Dave Grohl who's never been the epitome of cool, is seen as an average dork' Girls Against Boys are cool. Nick Cave, he's f***ing cool. But I'm just this idiot who plays his Sony Playstation all day. Do you have any tips on how to be cool? "Listen to Girls Against Boys. I know they're doing shows right now. That's what I would see as being cool. Not me at all. But f*** it, if people think I'm cool, then great." Who do you think are cool in 200? Why? "Josh from Queens Of The Stone Age is cool. And Chan Marshall, who's the woman behind Cat Power, is brilliant. She's kind of cool. She's a girl with the most delicate, seductive, bluesy gospel voice and she sings these f***ing heart wrenching songs, so amazing. She's the classic case of someone who doesn't care what other people think of her. I think she's kind of a crazy person. That's a prerequisite for being cool really. You have to be a little crazy, kind of nuts to be cool." Who is the coolest man of all time? "The coolest man of all time is probably Pete Townshend. I'd say so. Either him or Paul Weller, Those two muthaf***ers are pretty cool. Pete Townshend is just one of the coolest most bad-ass rock'n'roll figures of all time. He still is." Who is the coolest woman of all time? "My mother. She has put up with a bunch of shit and has to deal with teenagers and little f***ing arsehole punks her whole life being a teacher and then has one herself. She's a saint. She has a beautiful voice and that's kind of cool." Which is the coolest city on the Planet? "New York City. You can really disappear there or you can be in the thick of it. It's your choice. I find it hard to chill in London. It's a lot of fun and I like it, but there's too much trouble." Which is the coolest country on the planet? "Australia, because all they want to do is drink and f*** on the beach. And there's nothing wrong with that" What's been your least cool moment? " Being chased by a bee onstage a V99. I'd been chewing gum onstage and the sugar from the gum got on the mic. Everytime I went to sing, this bee chased me around the stage." Who will never be cool? "Everett True, he's still not cool. He's in Australia. Well, he could be f***ing on the beach trying to be cool, but it's never going to happen."
