Dave Grohl speaks...again.

DAVE GROHL INTERVIEW---FEELS ROCK IS FINALLY MAKING A COMEBACK

When Dave Grohl started in the music business, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars were babies. Rihanna and Adele weren't even born. But they're all competing against each other this weekend in the Grammys. The Foo Fighters are nominated for six awards. They tied Adele and Bruno Mars for the second-most nominations behind Kanye West.

The Foo Fighters have won six Grammys, and you're up for six more this year. What does it feel like to win one?

Dave Grohl: "When we won for best rock album for our third record, which we made in my basement, I was so proud because we made it in my basement in a crappy makeshift studio that we put together ourselves. I stood there looking out at everybody in tuxedos and diamonds and fur coats, and I thought we were probably the only band that won a Grammy for an album made for free in a basement that year. I feel the exact same way about it this year for an album that was made in my garage."

You were raving about Adele the last time I interviewed you, and now you're up against her for album of the year.

Dave Grohl: "I'm glad that we're with Adele in the same category. It means we've done something right. I think she gives us all hope. She's made an incredible record, and she's an incredibly talented artist, so maybe it is true that the cream actually rises to the top. There's a reason why that record is so huge. It's good. It's inspiring when something legitimate gets recognized for what it is. It's such a cliché, but it's a huge achievement to be nominated."

How do you feel about the lack of rock in some of the bigger categories at the Grammys?

Dave Grohl: "I feel the same way about it as how I felt at this massive car show in Pomona that I entered my 1965 Ford Falcon van into. I've never entered a car show before, and I don't really know a lot about it, but we put the van into the competition. My friend who built the thing, said to me, 'I think we're gonna win.' I asked him, 'Why's that?' He said, 'Because there are no other vans here.' I ended up winning first in class. It's kind of the same feeling."

"I feel a little bit of responsibility and a lot of pride. I'm proud to be in the Foo Fighters. We're a real band. If I were a kid in Tulsa, who loves rock bands and plays with my rock band in the garage, and I turned on the Grammys and saw a rock band with choreographed dancers playing to computers, I'd be bummed until the Foo Fighters came on, and then I'd think, 'Oh, good, humans that play instruments.'"

You're nominated for six Grammys, so you'll probably win one. Do you have a speech prepared?

Dave Grohl: "No. I never plan what I'm going to say when I get up on stage. My father was a speechwriter, and my mother was a public speaking teacher, and one thing that I've learned in life is that you never want to read a speech. You just want to go up and give it. That always jinxes it, anyway. The last thing you want to do is walk out of there with a speech in your pocket that you didn't get to read."
