Dave Grohl’s documentary on touring in vans, now playing.

Bored and tired of streaming Futurama for the billionth time?  Dave Grohl has you covered.

What Drives Us, a new documentary on Amazon Prime, is now playing.  It dives into the early days of the Foo Fighters, who built up cred city-by-city the old fashioned way: by hitting the road and touring in a van.  It’s the way pretty much the same formula that ANY band has to follow, as Rolling Stone notes in their coverage of the film:

“All of the biggest bands in the world, they had to start somewhere. Everybody I know started out like this: in a van,” Dave Grohl says at the onset of his new documentary, a film that chronicles the early touring days of some of rock’s most enduring groups, including U2, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and, of course, the Foo Fighters.”
