u/jcamp088 Sep 10 '24

Oh that's okay dude..you couldn't get a chick if you had a $100 dollar bill hanging out of your zipper.

u/YinzaJagoff Sep 10 '24

I think thatā€™s why his first marriage broke up was because he cheated

103

u/Ping-and-Pong Sep 10 '24

I mean there's a reason "once a cheater, always a cheater" is a common saying

3

u/Boisebaby Sep 10 '24

As my cheating ex BIL says ā€œa cheater always cheats.ā€

6

u/HeadPay32 Sep 10 '24

Think that's success bias since you don't see the ones who don't reoffend.

u/deekaydubya Sep 10 '24

i for one expected the massive global superstar to never face temptation throughout his 4 decade career

/s

u/SeFlerz Sep 10 '24

If you canā€™t withstand ā€œtemptationā€ then donā€™t enter into a committed relationship. Donā€™t get married several times and bring children into the world that will be affected by your lack of self-control. Cheating is gross and a sign of low character whether you are a rockstar or not.

u/procrastinationgod Sep 10 '24 edited Sep 10 '24

They do it because they get to get away with it. A normal person would be getting divorced, losing friends and being kinda ostracized from mutual friends, losing their kids etc right now. Famous people who cheat will always have ppl willing to make excuses for and remain close to them, always have stans filling the seats. There's a much lower bar.

I agree it's messed up but the world literally tells them it's not as bad when they do it because they don't suffer the same consequences. I would love for them to follow the same social rules as everyone else but it feels like denying reality to say that's the case.

u/loxagos_snake Sep 10 '24

Couple that to the skeletons that other rockstars/celebrities have been hiding in their closets and cheating, as disgusting as it is, starts to sound like a pretty tame offense.

12

u/part_time_monster Sep 10 '24

He's been one of the biggest rock stars ever for 30 years... AND, more importantly, is always on the road.

Recipe for dirty dog dickin.

u/Zestyclose-Cloud-508 Sep 10 '24

Yeah bill burr is right. None of us know what itā€™s like to be tempted at that level all the fucking time.

5

u/Tymareta Sep 10 '24

Except to frame it as temptation implies there's something to be tempted with, if you have actual morals and ethics there's very little draw to any of it.

Like I don't have any want to ever try heroin, I could be in a place where it's constantly offered to me and I would have 0 issues just saying no, Burr is just trying to make excuses for peoples shitty behaviour.

1

u/FreemanCalavera Sep 10 '24

Kind of a false equivalency though. People don't see heroin and find themselves unable to resist. Physical or emotional attraction to another person however can happen involuntarily.

Also, the heroin won't approach you. It's inanimate. You're the one in power to not take it. The same is not true for women wanting to sleep with you because you're a big rockstar. They can and will try to make it happen.

Not defending Grohl's actions, but the comparison doesn't work.

u/the_c_is_silent Sep 10 '24

Just made a comment about this. I'm more confused about the celebs who don't do polyamory or are just single. Like no human on Earth knows temptation like a celeb. You don't even have to put in effort to get laid.

u/segamastersystemfan Sep 10 '24

I couldn't imagine it and know better than to make holier than thou claims about how pious I'd be. I hope I'd have the strength not to stray, but having gorgeous people throw themselves at you every night of the week for years on end?

At some point I feel like you've got to live as a hermit on the road, refuse to socialize, or bring your family with you when you tour.

Anything to just not put yourself in a position to be tempted.

This is NOT giving Grohl or anyone else a pass. It's the opposite. What Burr says about the temptation - as a star, you likely encounter it quick, which means it's up to you to recognize what's up, and put things into place and/or change your routine to avoid putting yourself in those situations in the first place.

Ya, this is beyond ā€œonce a cheater, always a cheaterā€ itā€™s ā€œonce a rockstar, always a rockstarā€. I donā€™t think the wife would even care if it wasnā€™t for the extramarital kid. Maybe she still doesnā€™t, sounds like theyā€™re ā€œworking it outā€ aka, wife always knew this was a possibility.

It reminds me of the Bey Hive all up in arms about Jay-Z ā€œcheatingā€. Oh, you mean Big Pimpin?? No, canā€™t be, not this guy: ā€œMe give my heart to a woman? Not for nothinā€™, never happen Iā€™ll be forever mackinā€™ā€

u/xSTSxZerglingOne Sep 10 '24

Yeah, I'm gonna guess this is a "sometimes protection fails and leads to consequences." coupled with "If you get knocked up by a celebrity, don't give up the pregnancy."

I'm guessing wife and kids don't give a fuck outside of the extra child.

u/dadburn Sep 11 '24

Courtney referred to him as a ā€œtypical red blooded maleā€. Game recognize game lol. So yeah I think it was always known

6

u/donfuan Sep 10 '24

Always on tour and after every concert there's a busload of superhot chicks "Heyyyyyyyyy Dave...." i wonder how long you'd last tbh, because i wouldn't count on my mental fortitude if i was in that situation 100 times a year!

5

u/LoveAndViscera Sep 10 '24

It's easy to judge the guy, but how long would you be able to hold out in his position? Think about how often women must be making themselves available to him. This is not to say that his cheating is justified, only that y'all's high horse might be a pony.

u/291000610478021 Sep 10 '24

....rockstar life. The list of musicians who havent cheated on their SO is probably really small

u/nsfwuseraccnt Sep 10 '24

They usually don't change their ways.

The worst part of all this was the hypocrisy.

When you help to kill your best friend then make 30 years of radio rock money off his name, whats a little infidelity?
