Dave Grohl: Drummers get the best women

Dave Grohl has revealed that drummers get all the luck with the ladies in rock bands and attract the most fun-loving women.

The Foo Fighters singer, who releases his sixth album with the band, 'Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace', on September 24, told Elle magazine that frontmen usually get loopy ladies although Jordyn Blum, whom he married in 2003, is completely sane.

Dave also warned ladies that rock stars are often hard of hearing and said that his wife regularly has to repeat herself.

"To women, drummers seem like these adorable, sexy Neanderthals, and lead singers seem mysterious and dangerous," said Dave.

"So while the lead singers all want to be David Bowie, floating into parties and being the center of attention, it's the drummers who are in the corner doing keg stands and breaking tables. Usually it's the drummers who get the fun-loving ladies and the singers who get the nutcases.

"Any woman who's going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every ten seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown."
