Throw ya copy of How To Win Friends and Influence People in the trash. Self-help gurus are now redundant because legendary Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has offered up his words of wisdom on how to make friends. The most popular man in rock’n’roll has whittled down the daunting prospect of forming relationships with complete strangers to a very simple art form.
Grohl sat down with NME ahead of Foo Fighters seventh headlining slot at Reading and Leeds Festival, where he talked all things festivals and friends. When asked if there was anyone he wanted to party with at Reading & Leeds this year, he responded.
“Is Frank Carter playing on our day? We’ve been doing shows with him and The Rattlesnakes across Europe. They’re such sweet guys and a fucking great band. I’m trying to get Frank to really start drinking heavily again.”
Grohl then revealed his foolproof technique to making friends at festivals.
“Reading Festival is also one of those festivals where our bus pulls up, I grab a bottle of whiskey, and I just start knocking on doors. It’s how I’ve met most of my friends. What’s better than that?”
So incredibly simple. If you’re ever feeling lonely, isolated and friendless — just follow Grohl’s simple technique of grabbing a bottle of whisky and being in two of the most influential rock bands of all time.
