Foo Fighter bandmates Dave Grohl and Pat Smear recently paid tribute to the late David Bowie by visiting places in LA that he frequented, including his old house from 1975, which Grohl described as looking like “a mausoleum.”
But in the video for Playboy.com the real highlight is when the two decide to grab a bite at the legendary Rainbow Grill. Grohl tells a story about an attempted collaboration with Bowie for a song for a movie, and how he sent him email asking if he’d like to sing. The next day, Bowie replied saying: “I watched the movie and I got to be honest, it’s not my thing. I’m not made for these times.”
Grohl wrote back thanking Bowie for the consideration, which lead to a reply that he wasn’t sure was to be taken seriously or jokingly. Bowie wrote back: “Alright, well that’s settled then, now f*** off.”
Grohl joins the long list of big-name Bowie rejects including Coldplay and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who in the wake of his death revealed how they too were denied.
