10. Always Putting His Kids First
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iF2nmnwqaA The life of a professional rock star accommodates for a lot of things; drugs, sex, partying, alcohol abuse, etc. Fortunately, Dave Grohl doesn't seem to do much of that at all. Unfortunately however, being on the road does not really allow much time spent with one's family. So when it comes to Foo Fighters' downtime in between records and tours, Grohl reverts back to being a family man, and a proud father of two daughters. At the 54th Annual Grammys, a reporter asked Grohl about how he stays so grounded, and his immediate response was about his daughters, as you can see in the video above. The segment has been GIFed and reblogged millions of times of Tumblr, attesting to just how true his words are. As well as that, there's footage in the Foo's documentary 'Back & Forth' of Grohl being the dedicated parent, warming the breakfast milk and cleaning up after the children at ungodly hours of the morning. Perhaps he can be faulted for recording while his daughter wants to go jump in the pool ("You said we'd go swimming", "I know, but I just have to finish this guitar part"), but the resulting track, 'These Days', turned out brilliant enough that he can be excused.
