I’ve never met Dave but I think he’s a giant among musical men. My question is if Dave has said how tall he is why is everyone speculating further?. I thought he was 6’2” but maybe the other band members aren’t that tall? Who cares. Procrastination will make you look up how tall Dave Grohl is. Let that be a warning kids.
Arch Stanton said on 14/Mar/23
Made Justin Hawkins look struggling with even 5 ft 11 flat at the concert back in the summer. Has to be very close to 6 ft.

Rob,

Please see below (from when I met him);


I'm 5' 9.75" and had 1" trainers on, so was stood at 5' 10.75".

Dave Grohl was wearing red Converse and was comfortably over 2 inches taller than me. He looked 6' 1" in footwear - Converse don't give a full inch either!


In summary, he looked 6' 0 25" even with less footwear and the ground was flat, etc.

However...

This was at 12:45 pm on my lunch break - my shift began at 8 am and I was up at 5:45 am.

He was staying at The Four Seasons Hotel nearby and walking around with his security before the show.

So... maybe he'd only been up since about 10:30 / 11 am ish... ?


Cheers for reading!

@Rob There is Tom Araya with Dave Grohl
Editor Rob
Could look at most 5ft 9 I thought.
Arch Stanton said on 26/Mar/22
I think 5 ft 10 for Taylor. He was a skinny guy who with his long hair and limbs could give the impression of being taller I think. His height varies a lot next to Dave, he can look shorter than 5 ft 10, but that seems to be about right.
Arch Stanton said on 26/Mar/22
No Taylor Hawkins Rob? RIP Taylor. Only 50...

Looks 5-11.5 in the picture above.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Sep/21
LL Cool J manages look a solid 187cm at least with Dave...
JETG said on 14/Sep/21
Definitely 6 ft. Compared to other celebrities you often see Dave in flat shoes which perceives him shorter than 6 ft sometimes. Look at several others who have shoes with heels and maybe even hidden soles.

Solid 6’ 0” maybe even a little over great drummer for nirvana I never really took the time to listen to foo fighters though
Stinky 186 cm said on 27/Aug/21
I think he’s a little over 6’ 0” maybe even 6’ 0 1/4”

People can't even pinpoint their OWN height upto 1/4th of an inch. 3/4th?? Are you all using scientific scale or something lol
Paul 5' 10" said on 27/Jan/21
Rob,

See my comment below. This guy really did surprise me in person!

In photos can look anything from 5' 11.25" - 6' 0.25".

No less than a genuine 6' 0" when he stands upright.

He's definitely taller than my 5' 11.75" best mate.

6' 0 and 1 eighth" could actually be spot on.
Paul 5' 10" said on 26/Nov/20
Hey Rob,

This is too low.

I met him in June 2018 in London, on the day of their show at the London Stadium.

I'm 5' 9.75" and had 1" trainers on, so was stood at 5' 10.75".

Dave Grohl was wearing red Converse and was comfortably over 2 inches taller than me. He looked 6' 1" in footwear - Converse don't give a full inch either!

He looked 2.25"-2.5" taller than me. I was surprised! When he stands upright he looks his true height, but often stands with loose rock 'n' roll posture.

6' 0" bare minimum and could well measure 6' 0.25"!

Cheers.
Thomas sdf said on 11/Aug/20
Looked closer to 6 foot than 5'11 in his younger days. Now looks closer to 5'11 flat looking at the pictures below. He gets 5'11.25" from me for current, 5'11.75" peak.

Pat Smear is 184 cm range i think.

My Birthday Guess for Dave is 6ft. 😁👍

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 4/Dec/19
At just short of 6ft, Dave is a tall guy, so how tall is Krist Novoselic? He's probably about 6ft6 - extremely tall! 🤭😯🙄 The shoulder difference speaks volumes.

Dave Grohl can have 5ft11.75.
Sean william Winter said on 5/Nov/19
rob why so precise with 5'11 and 3/4?? like say i walked up to david grohl no m8 your 5'11.74 inch he would look at me like im wierd or soemthing. tho it be cool to meet him. get a photo with him against my strong 5'10. for good comparison. have u met david grohl rob?:?

Peak 6 ft. Now 5 ft 11.75 in
Paul NS (6ft0.5) said on 29/Nov/17
Acceptable downgrade.

I'd personally give him the full 6', but he can certainly appear weaker than that times.
Junior said on 27/Oct/17
Dave is 182cm , Krist Novoselic 200cm and Pat Smear 184cm.

Weak 6 footer.

Same body and height as James May from Top Gear. 6 even.

@SJH: I'll run with Rob's listing for Barkley only because most people claim he is taller but I believe he dips to 6'4.5 at his lowest. He was 6'4 5/8 at the olympics
S.J.H said on 6/Jun/17
Base on 6'4.75 charles barkley. Dave grohl is nothing over 180cm unless barkley wore cuban boots or hidden sole which is impossible
Headbanger said on 23/May/17
Grohl's face is similar to Sergio Ramos and both have the same height (5'11.5-5'11.75)
Hans Meiser said on 19/May/17
@Alex47
Are you deluded!? You obviously don't know what a 5'7er looks like.
Alex47 said on 18/Feb/17
Dave isn't 6"0 according to me coz he is way shorter than krist ...it doesn't look like a 7inch difference between the heights of Krist and Dave ...he is 5"7 or something like that...I ain't sure this is just a guessing by me..so don't get serious...
Jay 184cm said on 17/Oct/16
He doesn't quite look 183cm to me. With 6' 2" Chris Cornell, who has a big forehead, there looks to be a bit more than 2 inches. Likewise, with 6'1" Chris Martin, I see more than 1 inch - looks like almost 2. I'd guess 181-2cm.
truth said on 29/Jun/16
Ok maybe 5'11.5 or 6'0, I did not look into his height more.
Tunman said on 23/Jun/16
Does anyone have an idea about Avenged Sevenfold members heights?
Strangely there are no listings for any of them here though the band is quite famous.
Unfortunately other sites are (like always) doing poor work.After looking some pics and vids I would have thought something like this
Matt Shadows is 5'11.5-6' (doubt he's 6'1)
Synyster Gates 5'9.25-.75 (thought 5'10 was possible but saw once a 5'9 listing,hmmm...but no way 4" shorter than Shadows likely 2 or 2.5)
Zacky Vengeance 5'6.25-.75 no way 5'8 let alone 5'9
The Rev strong 6'2 no way 6'4
Arin Ilejay 5'8-8.5 no way 5'10 let alone 5'11
Johnny Crist 5'3-3.5" and near 5'4 is possible for him
Did my best but I'm quite unsure about them,any reliable figures are welcome,thanks
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 11/Apr/16
Novoselic is a legit 6ft7 dude...
annynn said on 27/Jan/16
I met Dave several times in the nineties and I'm 5'8" and was way taller than him lol no way is he 6 feet
Sal said on 14/Jan/16
Pat Smear is also listed at 6' tall and is slouching in the photo. I'd say close to 6 feet, but unclear. Always thought of him as a solid 5'10" guy but thinking 5'11" maybe some change.
an anonymous peach said on 9/Oct/15

He's 6ft guys.

I met Tom Araya in person after a gig,(during tattoo the planet tour) same year as 9/11 and he didnt look shorter than 5'11. He was wearing boots but i very much doubt he was getting more than 1.5 inches from them. Jeff hanneman looked to be 5'9-5'10 and Kerry King was incredibly short, my initial impression was 5'4.
TJE said on 30/Sep/15
When standing up straight, he actually looks 5'11.5-11.75 with Tom Araya.
Jake said on 28/Sep/15
Dave seems more "5'10". Here is with Tom Araya from slayer. And Tom is "5'9".

paciugo said on 12/Sep/15
he looked 3-4 inches shorter than allegedly 6'2 David Letterman in their oct. 2014 Late Show appearance. you can easily find the clip on youtube. after they played 'War Pigs' they shook hands with Letterman.
J said on 11/Aug/15
182 cm seems right for Dave
gruhl said on 9/Jul/15
Rob, if this listing of Grohl is accurate, which it definitely looks to be, how tall do you think M Shadows (singer of Avenged Sevenfold) is? I've seen him listed closer to 6"1 but in these pictures he looks to be the same height (if a hair shorter??) than Grohl? I'm not sure if it's the camera angle or shoes or what, but I've always had trouble trying to gague this dude's height

Click Here I know everyone keeps referencing this pic but that's the only good one i can find :P
Matthew said on 20/Apr/15
[Editor Rob: he was mentioned a couple of times before, anywhere in 5ft 11-6ft range he can look I believe.]


I've seen him listed at 6'1" before but I believe do believe you're right about him being more 5'11" - 6'0".
Art said on 9/Feb/15
Thanks so much for answering Rob!! I hadn't seen that all the other comments were about Serj xD. He is a curious case for sure. Have you considered making a page about him? He's in the spotlight for a couple of years now that SOAD have reformed. Oh and out of curiosity, do you listen to SOAD? :)
Art said on 7/Feb/15
Hey Rob, if Grohl is indeed 6 feet, how tall do you think Tankian(Soad singer, the guy on the right) is, considering these:

TJE said on 25/Jan/15
I saw him play last June but I was too far away to . He has a big presence onstage; I thought he was 190-191. But now, I don't think he's 183. Looks more 181-182.
Terramt said on 24/Jan/15
Met the guy just a couple of days ago when they played in Argentina, I'm 181cm tall and the guy stood a little taller than me.
butthead said on 22/Jan/15
met him in the hotel lobby before a show, definitely 183 is right for Dave. Pat is around 185-186.
London Boy said on 2/Jan/15
Dave's claim is legit. 5' 10" for Taylor Hawkins?
MM said on 8/Dec/14
He's taller than Serj Tankian at least an inch even though the latter one is listed as 6'1" virtually everywhere... That's weird...
Rob, is there a chance Grohl is taller than 6 feet and just doesn't care to measure himself properly?
Arch Stanton said on 7/Dec/14
Doesn't look it above but generally yeah this guy never looks under 6 ft, in fact on stage he can seem 6'1 at times.
Tymmo said on 7/Dec/14
he's shorter than the 5SOS guys and non of them are 6ft so he's definitely not 6ft, he's like 177-178cm

Well are we very very sure Dave effing Grohl is 6' cuz I'm kinda doing a school report on him,, yes quite stalkerish but ooo well.
Sam said on 4/Nov/14
I've heard that Zac Brown or members of his band were tall but on Sonic Highway recently, Grohl had at least a couple inches on him.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Oct/14
Yep, solid 6ft. Can look 184cm at times
Jake: 1.84 m- 1.85 m said on 24/Oct/14
He's definitely a 6ft guy.
Tod said on 2/Oct/14
6ft1 for Pat Smear
Sam said on 2/Oct/14
There's a scene in World's Greatest Dad where Robin Williams's troubled character receives a hug from a random newspaper stand owner playerd by Novoselic and I believe Robin's head was right in the middle of Novoselic's chest.
Greg 190 cm said on 1/Oct/14
Pat Smear is tall. Dave not

Arch Stanton said on 30/Sep/14
I must admit in a lot of photos I always was surprised that Krist Novoselic was really 6 ft 7 but here you can see that absolutely it's no BS. Easily looks it if you account for legs apart too!!
David F. said on 29/Sep/14
Dave Grohl is ahead of others in the photos. Pat Smear is really 185cm no less.
Danimal said on 26/Sep/14
My God, look how much Krist towers over Dave in that pic Rob has up there and Krists feet are SO wide apart. If he put them together, he could pass for a 6'8" guy. To think that people claim Barkley is 6'4", when we know that Barkley was practically the same height as Krist in their infamous pic on SNL in the 1990's.
Chris said on 24/Sep/14
Dave Grohl is often put forward in the photos. But really Pat Smear is 2 cm s largest
Sam said on 23/Sep/14
Had no idea that Pat Smear was that tall until recently, at times he Smear can actually pass for 6'1" near Grohl.
Grohl & Jack Black did some silly thing w/ Val Kilmer and Kilmer & Grohl were of similar height.
Jake: 1.84 m- 1.85 m said on 21/Sep/14
Pat Smear is 6ft 0.5in/1.84 m and Grohl is 6ft/1.83 m
There is not much between them.
Nick said on 9/Sep/14
Pat Smear is very likely 6'0.5" (184cm). He looks to be only a tiny fraction taller than Grohl who is a solid 6 footer.
Perhaps there's a chance Smear would measure 6'1 if he stood at his tallest.
What do you think Rob? Can he look a full 6'1 next to Grohl?
Peter said on 7/Sep/14
Pat Smear is 6'1 (185cm)

182cm said on 7/Sep/14
Pat Smear is 184cm or more 185 or maybe 186cm?
lelman said on 7/Sep/14
Serj is not over 5'11", I'd give him 179cm tops. Dave is a weak 6ft (like Bale), and probably falls slightly below that height past midday.

Serj - 5'10" - 5'10.5"
Grohl - 5'11.5" - 6'0"
182cm said on 1/Sep/14
183cm and Pat Smear is 184cm
Intermission said on 7/Jun/14
Rob why don't you make a Serj Tankian page? All the comments here are about him.

Dj Fly said on 7/May/14
Serj Tankian? Rob?
dude said on 29/Apr/14
Dave is 6 foot tall. Oh and Tankian is something like 5 ft 9.
Tape Measure said on 11/Apr/14
He often looks like he has to stretch himself as tall as possible to look like a genuine 6 footer. Like in the photograph above. I bet with loose posture and flat footwear, he could easily fool people into thinking he's just a 5' 11" guy in person. He edges out Richie Sambora in photos, so 6' 0" seems correct.
Gorast said on 11/Apr/14
[[[orbit says on 9/Apr/14
Could he be 6' 1/4 editor?]]]

I don't think there's any point questioning this listing, it seems really accurate. I disagree though with you Rob on this Serge guy from soad. There's no way that guy is over 5'11''.
Look at him at 3:30 with 5'10.5 Leno:

About the same range.
And here, 6 ft 0.5 Johnny Knoxville has got a clear 2 inches on him:

Click Here

And there he is with legit 6 footer David Grohl (although their footwear isn't visible):

Click Here

It's pretty impressive how he's gone away with this laughable 6 ft 1 listing for so long. I think he's a strong 5'10-5'10.5 guy. Would you rule that out Rob?
Editor Rob
no you wouldn't rule that mark out either. The height chart has potential to add more height than is imagined. I once did an experiment and got near 6ft myself in shoes with the right angle against a 'chart' of sorts.
orbit said on 9/Apr/14
Could he be 6' 1/4 editor?
curious said on 7/Apr/14
[Editor Rob: well look at the image I found Here...big boots, but maybe a bit loose posture and the camera isn't very high so he'd appear taller against the height chart...I'd rule out 6ft 1 though.]

Thanks for answering Rob! But he is shorter than Dave Grohl for sure! To me it seems like an inch of a difference. So wouldn't that make Serj a 5ft11 guy?
Editor Rob
it is quite possible he is nearer to 5ft 11 than 6ft
John said on 7/Apr/14
He's probably about six foot. Krist Novoselic is 6'7", so I could buy 183 for Grohl. No lower than 182.
curious said on 6/Apr/14

6' 0" is spot on. Rob, do you think that Taylor Hawkins is 5' 10"?
Editor Rob
he does look like he could be a couple of inches shorter than grohl
Joe Perry said on 25/Feb/14
6 foot, not 6'0.25, not 6'1, but just reaching the 6 foot mark. This guy I know is about 5'11.25 and Dave was about .5-.75 inches taller in a picture.
rocker 101 said on 20/Jan/14
I would say he is about 6ft 1 or just over
MBH said on 12/Dec/13
just saw them live at mexico, i was very close to the stage and he looked about 6'1 at least
Sean said on 3/Jul/13
Believe me that guy is definitely no smaller than 6ft, he's also stocky build which makes him look like a huge guy,
Arch Stanton said on 7/Jun/13
Agree with Danimal, anything under 6 ft barefoot for Grohl is too low, he can look 184 more than 182 in my opinion. He looks 6'1"range in shoes and a tallish guy.
htrager said on 16/Nov/12
Definitely 6' - I am 5'10" and I met him this past summer with flat shoes on - he was even nicer than I could have imagined - super genuine.
Mathew said on 2/Nov/12
I've always seen him as 6', not above or below 6'.
Sheila said on 16/Aug/12
Jamie - bang on. Godred - I know it doesn't prove anything. But I know he is 6'0" because me and my mate met him and he was exactly the same height as him and he's 6'0" dead. I'm 5'10" and he is taller than me. So many people on here saying he's 5'10"! No way. You can even tell by looking at pics of him that he's taller than that. Probably jealousy. Why, I don't know...
Jeremy said on 9/Jun/12
Craig ferguson is 6'2 and standing next to grohl (in the live tiny dancer video) he is easily 4 inches taller. he is 5'10.5 5'11 at the VERY MOST
jake, 1.82 m/ 1.83 m said on 12/Jan/12
5" 11.5 (182 cm) is more like it.

Most definitely 5'11.
Godred said on 14/Dec/11
@Jamie - It PROVES nothing what someone says, I think 5`10 is too low,but maybe 5`11.
Jamie said on 11/Dec/11
He's not!! He's defo 6'0! Ive seen him and met him! I even asked him what height he was and he said exactly 6 foot! Prove you guys wrong that said he isn't! He clearly is, perfect height!
Henkka said on 22/Jul/11
He's not 5'10 at all. I saw him 2 weeks ago and he looked about an inch shorter than 6'0.5 Pat Smear. Probably Dave is around 5'11.5, and 6' on shoes.
178 said on 12/Jul/11
If Dave's only 5' 10", how tall does that make Sir Paul McCartney, 5' 7"? No chance!
Sean said on 16/May/11
No way. he's more like 5'10. He's always been that height.
Bobby said on 21/Apr/11
No way. I'm 5'11' WITH shoes on and i have a picture with dave. The first thing i noticed when i met him was that i was taller! I was surprised cause he seems so tall on tv. I told him i couldn't beleive i was taller so he stood on the curb for the picture!

Dave is not 6'0. He's 5'11. Probably a shade under than now I give him about 5'10.75.

He's six-feet-even. Not an inch more, not an inch less. He's PERFECT HEIGHT!!!
GF said on 8/Jul/09
I ma pretty convinced Dave Grohl is 6 ft and Taylor Hawkins is 5-10. Google it and you will fine almost exactly 2 inch height difference in all legit pics.

BTW Rachelle, you are some babe. I think you'll like me!
Mathew said on 22/May/09
yes, he's a full 6'.
Dan said on 23/Mar/09
I met Dave when he was in scream pre nirvana - he was the same height as me 6'
Doug said on 10/Feb/09
Really? I thought Grohl has always looked the way a legit 6 flat looks.
JP said on 8/Jan/09
I met him a couple of years ago at a TV show they were playing. He was signing a girl's CD and looked a couple of inches shorter than me (I'm 5'10 and a half) but then when I went over to speak to him he straightened up and was exactly the same height. So I think he has a tendency to crouch, but is around 5'10-11. He always seems to wear flat converse/vans, so someone that is six foot wearing heeled shoes i.e. kid rock, jay leno would seem a couple of inches taller, even though they are around the same height.
PW said on 27/Dec/08
He is not quite as tall as Dave Mustaine(6 foot) from Megadeth. I would say 1.81 - 1.82 for Grohl.
me said on 26/Oct/08
I met David - he was very down to the planet and did not act like a big rock star that he is. I didn't want to invade his space, but couldn't help it. After I met him, I walked away thinking what an incredible person.
Dr Zephyr said on 10/Oct/08
i saw him at live earth last year, i meet him afterwards, and he was about 2 inches taller then me, im 5'10, i came up to his eyebrow about
Ant said on 6/Jun/08
Pat Smear may have had an edge on him height wise but they are a similar height.
Ant said on 6/Jun/08
Watched the Foo's In Manchester on 2nd June (awesome) Dave is taller than other band members, I was pretty close to the stage (I know "its hard to tell height when you are looking up at some one") however this is the 7th time I have seen them live he is a pretty tall guy I'd say 6ft is accurate. Plus he is a legend and has no need to lie about his height.

I'm 5-11, and I saw him at an Autogrill (Italian fast food) ten years ago, walked towards him to exchange a few words and I could swear he was exactly one inch taller than me.

5'11 is a closer bet. he also has a solid build. walked past him at a festival a few years ago. didn't notice what shoes he was wearing

He is a tall, sexy dude!

I met Dave Grohl. I am 6 foot and he probably had an inch or 2 on me. He is 6'1" probably.
Courtney said on 10/Feb/08
This says both him and Kid Rock are 6'0 but I just saw the Foo fighters win best rock album at the Grammy's and Kid Rock was the presenter. Kid Rock seemed to tower over Dave Grohl when he came on stage. Anyone else notice this?

Can confirm that sofa thing; is being stated in this ´about Nirvana´- book (sorry, forgot the title) by Michael Azzerad where it´s being told that `Dave, who is about 6 foot, slept on a couch, that was only four feet long [...]´. 6ft is his height, no doubt about it.
Hmmm said on 22/Oct/07
Said "I'm six feet tall" today on NPR - and that he, when rooming with Kurt, slept on a couch that was only four feet long.
Sam said on 20/Sep/07
I belive Dave himself, i mean he says he is 6 ft, why should you lie about that?
Peter said on 18/Aug/07
Kingkai I cant believe you are posting here and you dont even know what Dave looks like. I met him, I wear flat vans just like him I am 6.2 he didnt look much smaller that me, eyes can be decieving he is definetly over 6.0.
Adam said on 16/Jul/07
Kris is like 6' 7"? I think Dave is about 6' 0" as he didn't look to different to James Hetfiled at 6' 1". They were both wearing similar shoes at live earth

sorry kingkai - that is dave grohl - photo is found in liner notes of nevermind. Chad Channing had been out of the band for over a year before the album came out. Met Dave at an airport - shorter than me at 186 - but close enough 183
kingkai said on 9/Jun/07
rollabluntcallitaftermath, that pic u posted is not dave grohl that is
chad channing.
Sam said on 29/May/07
Maybe you guys right, i saw a picture on Taylor Hawkins and Anthony Kiedis and they look to be at the same height actually. When the one by one website listed the Foo Fighters height they listed something like this: Dave Grohl 6,5 and Taylor Hawkins 5,11 and Chris 5,4, sounds really wrong to me.
Mike said on 16/May/07
I always thought Grohl was 5'11" I wouldn't bill him as the full 6 for sure.
rollabluntcallitaftermath said on 15/May/07
I don't think I'd give him 6. Check this:

He's standing just behind 5'9.5 Kurt and he doesn't look much taller. Standing right beside Kurt he'd probably be no taller than 5'11 AT MOST
Sam said on 1/Apr/07
How tall are the others in the Foo Fighters? I heard Taylor Hawkins is 5,11. but some pictures confuses me a lot when Taylor and Dave stand besides each other.
Markus said on 13/Mar/07
Dave is standing behind him quite some distance, you can't compare them judging from this pic. Dave looks taller without a doubt in every other pic when he's standing next to Kurt.
Joe said on 1/Mar/07
Well, i saw a strange pic where Kurt is slouching very much, yet he looks a bit taller or the same height as Dave. Look here

Austrian said on 10/Feb/07
how does he look 5'8 or 5'9 or whatever in that pic PL?

you realize that Novoselic (the guy behind him) is over 2 meters tall?
S.J said on 30/Dec/06
Well he is taller than Kurt like kurt is to his eyes so i think about 5,11 to 6 or something not less than that but make that 5,11 a 5,11 and a half
MD said on 2/Sep/06
Now, something has got me confused. Just saw him on the Tonight show with Jay Leno, and he was clearly (but only slightly) shorter than Jay Leno at the end of the show. Dave was in plain, thin-soled tennis shoes, and Jay, of course, was in his low-heeled dress shoes, but maybe they really would give him 2" to make him look 6'1"
RW said on 18/Jan/06
yeah, i have met him and he looked this tall...maybe even 6 feet and a little change...it was hard to say because he was on the thin side but def. 6 foot
MD said on 18/Jan/06
He definitely looks exactly this, actually.
