According to Shockwave NME Awards, yes he is. According to Grohl himself, no. The Godlike Genius award will be handed to him in February, and here’s what he had to say about it:
“I don’t think I’m godlike or a genius,” he told NME.com. “It’s flattering. It’s a nice thing to be acknowledged for doing something you love to do, but in truth I don’t consider it a body of work because I don’t consider it work.”
Isn’t it nice to see someone humble for a change? Imagine Axl Rose or Serj Tankian getting the award. Imagine their speach. I guess the universe would implode as a counter reaction to it. Good thing we have Dave Grohl.
