Apparently he has cheated on his wife and fathered a baby girl. Not the nicest man in rock after all.Wink

I always think if you think you know a celeb's personality, then actually they've just got a good or team (see Ryan Reynolds too).

Dave grohl has previously denied the existence of aids.
I think it's obvious Taylor Hawkins wanted/needed to slow down but he was pushed by DG into completing the last tour
He's known for cheating on his previous partners. I'm sure he was once described as the womaniser of the band although I might be wrong on that point. Yet still people think of him as the nicest man in rock.

I find it simpler to believe that all slebs are sleaze. Separate the art from the artist. Though of course some like Neil Gaiman are so sleazy it is tough.

Given that kids cost money to raise, this woman isn't "capitalising" on this.

He could put his dick back in his trousers if he didn't have a condom. No man in his right mind trusts birth control that he can't see because it can fail. The Pill can fail.

Kids do cost money to raise but when the father is a mega rich rock star that money comes quite easily (see Lauren Goodman and her football cash).

I’m not defending sleazy Dave and his trouser based antics at all but, this woman knew he was married when she slept with him so she’s just as low as him in my book.

We don’t know the circumstances of the conception but, it’s possible that Dave didn’t care too much about protecting himself and she may have taken more care if he was Dave the penniless busker.

I believe Liam Gallagher and Jude Law have had similar contraception issues.

"Birth control can fail and multiple US states have criminalised abortion."

I'm pretty sure she'd have access to enough money for leaving the state and accessing abortion if she really wanted to.

Call me cynical but it's funny how often contraception fails when the father is very rich.

I'm not sure why this is a shock, since his affair with Wynona Ryder is why his first marriage ended.

She was the other woman?? That's changed my mind on her aswell.. Ive always like her and didnt think she would get with a taken man

The Cobain/Stipe collaboration was something Michael cooked up to try and get Kurt out of his addiction/depression. He asked him to fly to Georgia to start working on a new project. He sent him plane tickets, even sent him a taxi to take him to the airport but Kurt didn’t turn up. Stipe has talked about it a few times.

What a lovely man Michael Stipe is!

Over40Overdating · 11/09/2024 20:54

Ugh if Reddit is to be believed the mother of he new baby is a friend of his oldest daughter.

So not only is he a sleaze, he’s also a cliche. I really hope it’s not true.

I get what you were saying @Pedallleur - Foo Fighters may be commercially more successful than Nirvana were due to the stadiums and longevity, but what Nirvana did culturally, FF could not touch in a million years

SmallestMan · 11/09/2024 21:03

I always generally liked him but when he was shitty about Taylor Swift recently I was surprised and thought he came off as bitter and jaded. Now I just think he’s a compete dickhead and a pathetic cliche.

No, he cheated on his wife with Louise Post and then cheated on Louise with Winona (although he denied this).

@wasieverreallyhere

Yes of course but however my post came across it wasn't my intention to speculate on the effect on their marriage. I was just shocked and it seems we're all quite evenly split with being shocked and really not so much.

I was disappointed in him. In a way that I was not when till Lindemann had his sexual exploits outed.

I’m sticking with Jack Black as the good guy face of rock.

Contraception fails when fathers are poor! It just doesn't make the news.

I am sure Kurt Cobain is rolling in his grave. He would be ashamed of what Dave Grohl has done.

I think most wives have the attitude, what happens on tour stays on tour. Look at Bon jovi?

In his bio dave grohl says that me takes his whole family on tour with him. Maybe that's why!

If LLB turns out to be a wrong ‘un, I shall riot! He has been on tv with his wife and looks utterly in love with her.

HollyKnight · 12/09/2024 01:34

Cheaters cheat. I don't know why this surprises people. Just because someone is "nice" doesn't mean they don't do bad things. Ryan Reynolds, who also has that nice guy persona, also cheated on his first wife. If he were to cheat on Blake, everyone would be gobsmacked too. But they shouldn't be. Cheaters cheat. They don't have that red line they shouldn't cross.

Pedallleur · 11/09/2024 11:01

he got success in Nirvana but has been in FF a lot longer and it was his songs/talent that put the FF into the big league. Nirvana never achieved Foo fame, Kurt died before they could get there. Springsteen seems to have avoided all this backstage nonesense esp after his divorce (short marriage)

Edited

Springsteen very publically cheated on his wife with a bandmate. That's why they divorced. Then it's possible he got too old to fuck around, but I wouldn't bet any money on it.

His two oldest daughters have deleted tbeir social media accounts.

Way to go, Dave!

HarrietsweetHarriet · 12/09/2024 07:04

I feel for his wife and family. How does one move on from this?
I wonder at what stage of the pregnancy did he drop this bombshell on his family?
It's hard to imagine hearing more heartbreaking news as a wife.

Men are such arseholes.

I don’t think he’d give a flying fuck.
