Dear Seattle | How I Ended Up In Seattle (A film by Dave Grohl) 

Dave Grohl is such a good storyteller. You can really feel what he's saying. Great editing as well 👍

Love you Dave and thanks, thanks for the soundtrack of my life!

Watching this makes me want to have Dave as my tour guide in Seattle. That would be the most awesome tour.

I cry every time Dave tells a story about Kurt. It just breaks my heart every time.

I love listening to his stories! You can see he really cherishes those memories. I would love to see Seattle someday! Thanks Virginia Grohl for investing that $120 bucks----you changed the history of music with that decision....one so many of us will forever be grateful for !

Seattle in the early 90's was the coolest place on Earth. The music, the movies, the TV shows, the sports teams. Seattle had magic back then. It's still a great place but cant compare to back then. Truly magical.

I love how he has a great relationship with his mother. His mum seems like one of the cool mums that all your friends in high school get along with.

Wow!!! So beautiful and heartfelt. Can't wait to go there for my first time this September. From overcast Ireland to overcast Seattle

I lived in Seattle from 1996-2005. Worked for gaming companies as a 3D artist. I started listening to more and more grunge rock and my son was in some hard rock bands. I filmed his shows and got to check out the Seattle vibe. It does become part of your DNA. Loved hearing this story.

Every time I see or hear Dave Grohl I am more and more impressed, he really is an awesome guy.

It's so sad what the city has become

This dude has lived the ultimate life as a musician. Toured the world by the time he was 20. Joined a band that was primed to be one of the best ever and achieved total respect as a musician. Then a second chance & has again got great success & has jammed with almost everyone anybody would ever want to jam with. And I heard he's worth 200 million.

It's not a matter of Seattle taking Dave back, it's when he'll be coming home. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, etc. all defined what made Seattle cool while I was growing up. We need grunge and the Sonics back. #makeseattlecoolagain

did anyone else cry?

It's like having Children Of The Corn picking you up from the airport. 😂😂

The other drummer Dave mentioned that was playing for Nirvana at that 1990 show he attended upon arrival in Seattle was Mudhoney's Danny Peters.

Min 3:05 "Chris and Kurt were like Children of the Corn me up at baggage claim" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I absolutely love this! I lived in downtown Seattle right after high school in 1992. This was so the vibe. Very grungy, Starbucks had barely started up downtown. It was very small town vibe. Walking around downtown with a coffee in the middle of the night, going from basement to basement socials. Birkenstocks and flannels. Lol Oh God! Brings me back! And the rain on the cement. I called it a cement jungle because of all the foliage yet roads and sidewalks everywhere. The lights of the city at night made you think about your life. And just being able to afford a salad ha ha. That was a luxury. I walked pikes street market and remembered getting a croissant and thought this is the life! Oh and newspapers in Seattle were dated a day ahead. That always threw me off. Totally different world. Now, it’s a nice place to visit, but I’d never go back. The rain gets to you.

The way Dave Grohl told his story, you can feel it. It's like he's not endorsing a city or whatever. It's like he's talking to you personally. Amazing person. And yes, Seattle is great.

you American guys who loved music should know Nirvana made a big deal worldwide. Nirvana changed everything in this small country's culture(South Korea rock scene). for more than 25 years still Nirvana make a big effects to the world. Now many rock fans here find FF and Giant in the Trees. Seattle you know marketing way.

Sometimes is just the right place at the right time, with the right people

Kurt was a force of nature, and his departure was both untimely and definitely palpable. NIrvana's fame had a momentum of its own, and it's only natural to revisit those places and experiences to try to reach some sort of understanding. You had a real connection with your appreciative fans and hugely influenced the rock scene, which is a great tribute.

So beautiful and heartfelt. Dave is an amazing Storyteller. Whether he is singing it or telling it, it still tugs at the heart strings.

4:51 wait did Dave Grohl invent the fucking concept of vlogging?

dave grohl probably has the best and most diverse life anyone could ever have. and he is dealing with it all so well

Please make this a series and have Jerry Cantrell and Sean Kinney from Alice in Chains next!

I could listen to Dave talk all day. The way he tells stories just draw you in and you connect with what he’s saying.

This makes me want to visit Seattle.

Dave Seattle would have you back in a heartbeat and I live in Ireland

He's not just talking about music at the end, he's talking about everything.

Met Dave at a thrift store in Tacoma nearly 30 years ago. Gonna meet again this summer at Safeco Field in Seattle !

What a beautiful soul

Mr Grohl is such a damn gem. Bless ya Sir.

Thank you Dave for everything !!! Cheers and Hugs from Ensenada BC, Mexico !!

I live in Olympia and visit Seattle often, and also catch myself driving slow at places that I have memories of there. I think this was a great story.

"dear seattle". Ha Ha Ha I thought of the band dear Seattle!

Great documentary. Those were the days. It was a movement..unintentional- just like Dave said. Glad to have been a part of it.

Amazing confluence of story telling and production. This is a wonderfully produced video. Time to up my game. Darn! Great job to whomever put this together.

Much love from the Pacific Northwest to Foo Fighters & Mr. Dave Grohl

"... with turtles in this ... aquarium that... Kurt had ... built." 😂 You can hear he almost wonders if that was real.

Dave should read children’s books he has a soothing voice 🥰

love you Dave, we all miss Kurt amd Krist too..Ive been to Seattle a couple of times...love it!!

Dave, Seattle is waiting for you to come back!

He is such a great storyteller... man.... we all can sit down and listen for a hours!! I saw all his documentary and this is one of the best!!! He is my hero! Always!

Lived there for 25 years. The Seattle he's describing, the Seattle from the past is long gone. It's a completely different city now and in many ways, not for the better. It had a vibe and a personality in the past that has been lost. The soul of what Seattle used to feel like is just gone and it's sad.Instead of neighborhoods with character, like Ballard, it's all just been hipster-ized and looks like any other west coast city like San Francisco or Portland. Such a bummer.

No one else come here. We’re all full. Sorry folks . I hear Portland is still open though

I visited Seattle twice in the last two years and have fallen in love with the city. Watching Dave just makes my love of the city greater. I can't wait to live there.

You are always welcome at my house.

"Sometimes in life you have to do what's best for you". that's such a great advice

You can tell Dave has a good soul and is he nicest musician ever not to mention talent!!! Much respect & keep rockin'!!!

Love it! Check us out if you are a fan of Alternative/Rock music

Amazing video ! Feels like I’m sitting in front of him. ❤what a great soul. Thank you Dave Grohl for the memories and all of your beautiful music. #nirvana#foofighters♥️

Wait, what happened to Dave and Kurt's turtles?

Love this SO much... his narrative encapsulates all of us PNW '80s kids who explored Seattle in our fearless 20s, and ate that city for breakfast on the regular. We loved, watched, and supported his (and all the other) up and coming bands that pumped the blood into the heart of Seattle: grunge tunes, and the love that came with it. What an epic, epic adventure, and a killer time to grow into ourselves. Thanks, Dave. #NailedIt #MuchoLove

This was a great video, thanks Dave! His love for his adopted city is palpable! 😍 Wish I'd have followed my gut when I was 25 and moved to Seattle in the mid-80s!

How do they make those scribble-drawings-effects things, I want to learn how to do that!

Damn I cried...

I could listen to Grohl talk for hours about stories. he needs to write a book one day.

I hope to visit the EMP museum in Seattle one day, though I'll probably walk past nearly everything on display and go straight to see Greg Sage's guitar - if it's still there.

Soy argentino y tengo ganas de visitar Seattle. Quizá tenga que molestar amistades allá jajaja.

You can feel what he’s saying it’s like he’s talking to you in person he’s amazing

Finally. Stories are being told. Dave has always been so private when it comes to talking about himself.

"Having children of the corn pick you up from the airport"

He left out the weather in his Seattle pitch...well played Dave, sorry mom.

Amazing story. Really enjoyed this. If you're reading this....thanks Dave. You're a real inspiration....you and Nirvana ✌

Did his publicist finally take him aside and (finally) tell him to stop dropping f-bombs every second sentence? Thank god.

The grilled octopus was unexpected.

I would like to visit, and live there for a period of time. The only thing that makes me apprehensive is the lack of sun, but I want to go back to playing music, and hang out/jam w my heroes...

I loved hearing Dave’s story. The joy in his eyes when reflecting on his time in Seattle and with Nirvana is evident. Btw, thank you, Mrs. Grohl, for the advice and money you gave to your son that day! 🤗🤗

This was so well produced, in addition to Dave’s fantastic storytelling.

Dave Grohl is a major Badass. Love that guy.

My favourite video directed by Dave Grohl. Love the way you talk about those days and Kurt and life in Seattle, Dave. Thanks a lot! 😀☺😸

Every alley is an outhouse. You can smell it from Federal Way or Lynwood depending on the wind direction.

I wish Dave could've done this movie in his Christopher Walken voice... "Ladies and Gentleman...The Foo Fighters."

C'mon back, we will always welcome you brother. We here love you Dave, come home.

Me gusta toda la historia de Dave Grohl,desde Seatte,Nirvana hasta armar su propio grupo FOO FIGHTERS y mantenerce vigente es super genial💪💪Es mi favorito🤘🎸🤓❤👏👏👏👏👏👏

What a beautiful clip

This video comes all the time before Nirvana/Foo Fighters videos, I rarely skip it.

Born and raised in Seattle and it's not a matter of us taking you back Dave, you've always been welcome!! It's about when you'll come home. I can't wait to see you at safeco in September! I've literally travelled the world to see you guys but haven't yet seen you at home. Saw you guys at Fuji rock and I went to London but it was the cancelled wembley show after you broke your leg

definitely see Seattle differently now compared to the early 90s

Fascinating and Dave has a smart mom.

We are in the presence of true greatness! What a humble and easygoing guy, yet full of passion and love for the music. The way he expresses himself on his past experience places us right there with him. Cool dude! Dave whenever you're in Miami let me know, we'll have a BBQ and a🍺 (Its a long shot but hey, what have I got to lose?)

I love you before.... I love you today... And will love you forever...

Just beautiful.

Dave cuenta cómo llegó a Seattle, y demuestra cuan feliz fue en ese momento y como lo marcó su amistad con Kurt. Si Kurt es inolvidable para nosotros, él lo lleva tatuado en su corazón. Grande Dave, te amamos.

Brilliant and sincere.

Hello from Russia! I hope that once i visit your city. Pretty need it

What a talented humble bloke he is.

We love you Dave!

Dave is hard on bandmates they dont make it

I actually clicked through from an ad on another video. This was a really well put together wee documentary. Thumbs up.

Seattle is just amazing! And anytime I see images of Kurt and Dave I also think about the beautiful Olympia, WA.

Very well created. Well done to everyone involved.

Seattle needs you back.

I could listen to him forever.

Great interview, but the animations are stupid and annoying. But otherwise I enjoyed

How can you not love Dave?

This might be the coolest tourism campaign I've ever seen. And I'm not even a Foo Fighters fan. Whoever greenlighted Dave Grohl reminiscing about Seattle for this is a genius. And incredibly brave...
