On April 23rd, Dave Grohl just dropped a hilarious story on the dish podcast about accidentally roasting David Bowie. He said after watching Bowie kill it live at a festival around 1996, he met him in the studio and blurted out the first dumb thing that came to mind. Bowie asked what he thought, and Grohl goes, the first thing I noticed was all year imperfections. Classic footed mouth moment. This all went down 25 or 26 years back, while Grohl was recording a track called Jewel, as Bowie's guitarist reads Gabriel's for his, solo album play from 1997. They shared the bill with acts like the prodigy at Phoenix Festival, and Grohl was straight mesmerized, calling it otherworldly, like seeing an angel. Up close. Grohl admitted he backpedal so fast he doesn't even know how he recovered. He called himself an idiot for saying that out loud, something he'd never drop on anyone else. Bowie took it in stride though, keeping that cool legend vibe intact. He also hyped the Bowie studio magic, swearing the guy's vocals were pure, one-take gold,
no effects needed, just chills every time. Grohl shared other Bowie tales before, like the time Bowie jokingly told him to fuck off on a collab invite right before passing, but it was all, love. Food fighters dropped their 12th album, your favorite toy, tomorrow with fresh singles like asking for a friend. They're hitting UK gigs, European festivals this summer, the North America, and even Australia down the line. Stories like this keep Bowie spirit alive in their sound.
