The most celebrated book on counterpoint is Fux's great theoretical work Gradus ad Parnassum. Since its appearance in 1725, it has been used by and has directly influenced the work of many of the greatest composers. J. S. Bach held it in high esteem, Leopold Mozart trained his famous son from its pages, Haydn worked out every lesson with meticulous care, and Beethoven condensed it into an abstract for ready reference.

So, I''ve written a book.Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It''s a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I''ve recorded and can''t wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.This certainly doesn''t mean that I''m quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it''s like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughtersthe list goes on.I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

El relato más íntimo y personal del líder de la exitosa banda Foo Fighters, ahora en tapa blanda.Por suerte, mi memoria se ha mantenido relativamente intacta. Desde pequeño, siempre he medido mi vida en avances musicales, y no en meses o años. Para recordar un momento y un lugar en concreto, mi mente vuela a canciones, albumes y bandas. Desde las emisoras AM de los setenta hasta cada uno de los microfonos que he usado, te puedo ir diciendo el que, el quien, el donde y el cuando desde las primeras notas de cualquier cancion que haya saltado de un altavoz a mi alma. O de mi alma al altavoz. Para algunas personas, el detonante de un recuerdo es un sabor, para otras puede ser un olor o algo que vean. Mi detonante es el sonido, como un recopilatorio inacabado a la espera de ser enviado. Aunque nunca he sido de los que coleccionan cosas, si colecciono momentos. En ese sentido, mi vida pasa ante mis ojos y a traves de mis oidos todos los dias. En este libro he tratado de reflejar algunos de esos momentos lo mejor que he podido. Por supuesto, esos recuerdos estan llenos de musica. Y a veces pueden ser ruidosos. Sube el volumen. Escucha conmigo. En The Storyteller, una coleccion de momentos de todas las epocas de su vida, Dave Grohl nos ofrece algo extraordinario: un retrato crudo y sincero de una vida excepcional hecha a base de momentos normales y corrientes. Cuando nos habla del amor visceral por la musica y sus compañeros, de su profunda conexion con su ciudad natal, Springfield (Virginia), y del asombro con el que ve crecer a sus hijas, Dave Grohl nos cuenta sus recuerdos del mismo modo en que escribe sus canciones, desde lo mas hondo de su alma. Repleto de reflexiones sobre sus giras con los Scream, su entrada en Nirvana y el desmoronamiento del grupo, la creacion de los Foo Fighters cuando se encontraba en un momento decisivo de su vida y como ahora recorre el mundo como un padre de familia, The Storyteller son unas memorias llenas de vida y humor en las que Dave nos transmite su lucida vision de la fama. Ahora que ya sabemos que Dave Grohl es uno de nuestros musicos mas valiosos, The Storyteller nos los presenta como un escritor rebosante de encanto y talento.
