Dave Grohl: I would not be a musician if it weren’t for The Beatles

A new Beatles compilation ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ was released today (July 24) exclusively on iTunes, and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has written a letter in the digital liner notes of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ describing the impact the group’s music had on him.

The 14 song collection includes what is described as the band’s ‘most powerful rock songs’ such as ‘Revolution,’ ‘Paperback Writer,’ ‘Helter Skelter’ and ‘Back In the USSR.’ A promo film for the song ‘Hey Bulldog,’ from the band’s 1969 ‘Yellow Submarine’ album, is also available.

In his letter, Grohl talks about the impact the Beatles have had on him, as well as his daughter Violet. Here’s the letter Grohl penned for the digital liner notes of the ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’ release:

“If it weren’t for The Beatles, I would not be a musician. It’s as simple as that. From a very young age I became fascinated with their songs, and over the years have drowned myself in the depth of their catalogue. Their groove and their swagger. Their grace and their beauty. Their dark and their light. The Beatles seemed to be capable of anything. They knew no boundaries, and in that freedom they seemed to define what we now know today as ‘Rock and Roll.’”
