Playing in front of 25,000 people and millions more on television, and performing and doing what I worked so hard to try to accomplish was, in my opinion, the ultimate. Do I miss it? Of course I do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.
To me, there was nothing greater than to play for an audience and to entertain people and that has stayed with me all these years.
I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.
I definitely got to a point where I realize how unusual it is to be able to play large, sold-out shows 30 years into a rock and roll career. I don't take it for granted.
I've been lucky enough to have fulfilled so many ambitions, and gone way past anything I ever thought I would do. I could never have imagined the career that I've had with the Foo Fighters - playing stadiums and having songs on the radio. It's amazing, and my goal is really just to carry on playing.
I had a great career and I enjoyed all of it, with the exception of losing.
I do a lot of media work, I've been investing and I'm involved with real estate. It's totally different from what I had been doing but I find it challenging and fun. To be honest, I really don't miss the track. I pretty well accomplished what I set out to do and it was time to move on.
I was able to endure and play a special part in music history. And I always managed to keep working, even if I wasn't a big solo artist.
After I went through two years of not winning an event, what kept me going was winning one more major. Once I won that last U.S. Open, I spent the next six months trying to figure out what was next. Slowly my passion for the sport just vanished. I had nothing left to prove.
Ever since I was really little, I loved performing and being up on stage, and being the entertainment.
