Among other things, Grohl talks openly about the period with DC punk band Scream prior to the world fame with Nirvana, how it felt when Kurt Cobain dived into his drum kit on stage and what that last year before Cobain\'s suicide was like.

Another topic discussed was Grohl\'s need for reassurance when he hit the skins in Nirvana. The drummer reveils:

\"When I joined Nirvana I was the fifth or sixth drummer — I don\'t know if they\'d ever had a drummer they were totally happy with. And they were strangers. There was never much of a deeper connection outside of the music. (...) I don\'t think I\'ve ever told anyone this, but there were times when Kurt was really unhappy with the way I played drums. I could hear him talking about how much he thought I sucked. But he\'d never say it to me. If I\'d confront him about it — \'Is there a problem? If you want me to leave, just ask\' — he\'d say, \'No, no, no.\' Most of that happened later, around \'In Utero\'. That\'s when I think Kurt became unhappy with what was happening with the band.\"

According to Grohl he never played with Nirvana where they walked offstage after a show and said, \'That was great.\' Grohl continues:

\"Only two times did I get any reassurance from Kurt [Cobain]. Once when I joined the band, in 1990, we were drunk at some disco in England, and Kurt came up and said, \'I\'m so glad you\'re in this band. I\'m so glad you\'re down-to-earth.\' I was like, \'Wow!\' The next time was in late \'93 or early \'94 when I came home and turned on my message machine and had a message from Kurt that said, \'Y\'know, I was just sitting here listening to \'In Utero\', and your drumming is so awesome. You did such a great job!\' I was like, \'Wow!\' Those two things were spread out by about four years [laughs].\"
