FOO FIGHTERS mainman Dave Grohl recently revealed to Rolling Stone that he was in serious contention to join GWAR as their drummer back when he was a teenager living in the suburbs of Washington D.C.

“GWAR were looking for a drummer,” says Grohl. “And I talked to their guitar player Dewey about it. And he’s, like, ‘It’s great, and you get to design your own costume.’ As drummer, you don’t want something that covers your face fully. You want your arms to be free. So I was, like, ‘Cool.’ So I started kind of drawing this thing. At the time GWAR was a band that would draw like 700 people, right? Which is huge. And then the more I thought about it, am I really gonna invite my uncle to see me play when there’s like fake blood and cum shooting all over the place?”

Back in September 2014, FOO FIGHTERS paid tribute to late GWAR frontman Dave Brockie. better known as Oderus Urungus, at their crowdsourced gig in Richmond. At the concert, Grohl told the crowd: “One of the greatest compliments, or non-compliments, that I have ever gotten in my life, I remember seeing this interview with Dave Brockie where they asked Brockie about a Grammy nomination, and somehow he made his way to me, and he said, ‘Dave Grohl, he’s actually had his teeth removed so he could fit more Grammy dicks in his fucking mouth.’ So, right now, I give it up to Brockie. He would fucking hate that I dedicated a fucking song to him.”

Grohl is currently promoting his new book “The Storyteller”, which is due on October 5 via Dey Street Books and Simon & Schuster.
