Dave Grohl's Keynote Speech At SXSW Inspires, Entertains: See The Foo Fighters Frontman's Complete Speech Right Here [VIDEO]

Dave Grohl was the Keynote speaker at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, TX on Thursday.

The lead vocalist and guitarist for the Foo Fighters gave inspirational words, mixed with some comedy during the ten-day festival of interactive media, film and music.

As Dave Grohl spoke in front of about 2,000 people at SXSW, he started by recaling his birth, according to USA Today.

"My first moments in this world, hanging upside down covered in blood screaming as I'm being spanked by a complete stranger," Grohl said. "Perhaps the most appropriate preparation for becoming a working musician."

The Foo Fighters have won 10 Grammy Awards. In February, Grohl announced the group is working on its eighth studio album.

Before starting the Foo Fighters, Grohl was the drummer in the seminal 1990s rock band Nirvana. The group ended abruptly after a meteoric rise to fame, unparallelled since the days of Beatlemania, when frontman, Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994.

"I was lost (and) numb," Grohl said about Cobain's death. "I turned off the radio and put my drums away."

Grohl played all the instruments to create a demo tape in under a week that he says he labeled Foo Fighters instead of "one strung-out coffee junkie scrambling from one instrument to the next."

Grohl went on to mention one of his favorite songs is a Kpop tune.

"'Gangnam' Style is one of my favorite (expletive) songs of the last decade,"Dave said. "Is it better than the latest "Atoms For Peace album" [from Radiohead singer Thom Yorke]? Hmm. If only we had a celebrity panel of judges to determine that for us."

The rock star mocked the current trend of singing competitions on network TV.

"Who's to say what is a good voice and what's not a good voice? The Voice?" Grohl sneered. "Imagine Bob Dylan standing there singing Blowin' in the Wind in front of Christina Aguilera. 'I think it's a little nasally and sharp.' "

Before exiting the stage, Dave discussed buying Beatles records for his two daughters, ages 3 and 6.

"As a proud father, I pray they are left to their own devices and they realize the musician comes first and they become someone's Beatles," Grohl said. "But then again, what do I know?"
