As a story, it's a solid 4.5/5. Dave is a captivating author, with a vividity and excitement that is missing in a lot of autobiographies.
Unfortunately, at times, Dave gets too enraptured in his own words and gets a bit repetitive; this is one of the reasons for dropping the score a bit.
There's also a lot of jumping about through the past, which was amazing, but at times there is no "landmark" as to where in time we are.
But, what drags it down a bit, is Dave's lack of accountability with his infidelity. He cries out his absolute devotion to his daughters, his wife, and his mum, but never acknowledges his own contradictions. That missing accountability is what brought my rating down.
All in all, thoroughly enjoyable read for anyone who's even only heard one of the many songs Grohl has been a party to.
He's certainly a Storyteller!

Just pure excellence.
My first introduction to Hellsing was the original anime, which has been a staple and long term favourite.
Kohta Hirano's original work is even better! This is a brilliant, fast paced, intriguing story, and I look forward to reading the next!

This is just pure James S.A. Corey. Brilliant, powerful, deep, confusing, and just perfection.
All I can really say is that if you enjoyed The Expanse, you will thoroughly enjoy this.
There are some really frustrating character traits, and that may feel like a drag at first, but it's all for a reason, and when you come out the other side, it all makes sense, and makes the story so much more rich.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
