Dave Grohl<\/a> waxes ecstatic on fireworks and recording consoles in the first story for his Instagram series, @DavesTrueStories<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 10-image story \u2014 which is set around July 4th, 1998, after he moved back home to Virginia after the first two Foo Fighters<\/a> albums \u2014 starts off with Grohl\u2019s mother telling him how much she hates fireworks. He then asserts how much he, in turn, loves them. \u201cIf the motherfucker went \u2018bang\u2019 in the end, well shit \u2026 sign me up,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n

But mostly it\u2019s the story of how he set up what would become his first 606 studio in Alexandria, Virginia, where he would record 1999\u2019s There Is Nothing Left to Lose <\/em>and the hit \u201cLearn to Fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

He recalls road-tripping with his friend, Jimmy Swanson, down to Nashville to pick up an API console to haul back up to Alexandria and fit into his new basement studio. Along the way, they spot a fireworks supermarket, and Grohl begins fantasizing about purchasing enough explosives for \u201ca baptism of boom.\u201d As is often the case with Grohl, he gets his way and tells his story in the most vivid language possible.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier this week, Grohl announced that he would be spending his time in pandemic-inspired self-isolation by sharing stories from his illustrious career. \u201cI\u2019m currently looking for work, so I thought I\u2019d pass the time by writing short stories that will make people smile,\u201d he wrote in his introductory post.<\/p>\n

The Foo Fighters had intended to spend this spring on a 25th anniversary \u201cvan tour,\u201d<\/a> revisiting all of the cities from their very first tour. They instead postponed the trek<\/a> because of the pandemic. \u201cThe second we are given the go-ahead, we\u2019ll come tear shit up like we always do,\u201d Grohl wrote in a statement. \u201cPromise.\u201d<\/p>\n
