Dave Grohl Reveals What His Expensive Toilet Does To Ass

Dave Grohl Reveals What His Expensive Toilet Does To Ass.

Grohl has ordered the “skirt steak” at a restaurant called Fervor, which he’s guessing are short ribs. When Grohl isn’t touring and making music he likes to barbecue. He takes it very seriously.

“I have spent far too long lost down a YouTube wormhole, watching videos on how to make the best spice rub for the perfect brisket. When I get back to LA I’m taking a butchery course.”

He’s into the tech of it all too. “There’s this one grill that I’m after,” he says with the sort of longing rich rock stars usually reserve for Basquiat prints or Patek Philippes. “Man, what a grill. I kept dropping hints before Christmas to my wife.

I wasn’t being very subtle about it either. I go down on Christmas morning and she hands me this envelope. In my head, I’m like, ‘These must be the keys to the grill, right?’

“Anyway, I open up the envelope and it’s an order form. You know, like the payment confirmations you get if you buy something on Amazon. You know what it was for? A toilet. One of those Japanese toilets that surprises you with a jet of water up your ass every so often. I’m like, ‘You gotta be kidding me?’ So I just went online and bought the damn grill myself. Merry Christmas to me.”

Japanese “smart” washlets, state-of-the-art barbecue tech, a sprawling home, recording studios in two different places in the same city, a beach house in Hawaii, more than 30m Foo Fighters albums and more than 75m Nirvana albums sold – doesn’t sound particularly punk rock does it? Is there, within Grohl, some kind of conflict – a skirmish between the musician who’s worked his ass off since he was 16 and now wants a chrome grill the size of a Cadillac to home cook his own brochette on and the hyperactive drummer boy whose ferocious playing and independent will kicked this whole journey off to begin with?
