Dave Grohl: 'Technology might make you rich, but it will never make you happy'

Dave Grohl has given his thoughts on the use of technology in music.

The Foo Fighters man told Red Bull that he feels like people are losing touch with "rocking out" due to the rise in computers in music.

He said: "People have forgotten what it’s like to really rock out because they spend all day in front of a freakin’ computer, which they hail as the new god. And they seriously think technology can make them rich, if they stumble on something new. But I’m telling you: technology might make you rich, yet it will never make you happy."

Grohl continued: "They’re two different things light years apart. Happiness or luck or a good feeling – whatever you want to call it – is based on interaction among humans, on making other people happy, giving them something dear to their heart. Music is a perfect medium for that. What could be more human than writing a song with bass, drums and guitars? That’s as feel-based as it gets."

Foo Fighters meanwhile recently released their eighth album 'Sonic Highways'.
