This comes after Foo Fighters headlined their own festival Cal Jam, featuring a huge on-stage collaboration in which they covered ‘Come Together’ by The Beatles with Liam Gallagher and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry. Queens Of The Stone Age also honoured the band by covering a snippet of ‘Everlong’ during ‘Feel Good Hit Of The Summer.
Meanwhile, the Foos also recently said that their appearance on Corden’s ‘Carpool Karaoke’ was ‘a little uncomfortable‘.
“By hour three in dude’s car it got less fun,” Smear told NME. “It kinda went on. When we stopped at Guitar Centre, that felt like we were done, but it was like ‘this is halfway’.”
Dave Grohl said that it was “a little uncomfortable”, but didn’t doubt that James Corden was a real music lover. However, he wasn’t too happy about being made to sing his own songs.
