Dave Grohl: 'My daughters are fascinated by vinyl records'

Back in February, Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl was announced as the ambassador for Record Store Day 2015 and he has now opened up about how much his daughters enjoy vinyl. 

During an interview with USA Today, the star admitted that he made a conscious effort to introduce his girls to vinyl records and was proud of how interested they were

"I remember introducing my nine-year-old to vinyl. She was really into The Beatles, and I got her this Beatles vinyl box set. She looked at it and said, 'What is that?' And I said, 'This is Beatles vinyl. These are The Beatles' records.' I was like, 'Here, let me show you how to do it,' and she was fascinated."

"It was like a toy to her, but she was listening to music and experiencing it the way I did when I was her age. I walked out of the room and came back half an hour later, and all the record covers were all over the floor and she was listening to album after album, and reading the lyrics, and looking at the sleeves and the pictures."

This year's event is scheduled for Saturday, April 18 and Grohl recently issued a statement on his role as ambassador and said: "I believe that the power of the record store to inspire is still alive and well, and that their importance to our next generation of musicians is crucial. Take an afternoon (and some hard-earned lawn mowing money) and please support them."
