History could have been very different – Dave Grohl once almost joined the monster band GWAR

Many people know musician Dave Grohl, who started out as the drummer for grunge legends Nirvana, before forming his own band Foo Fighters, which still tours the world today.

But the story could have been very different. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Grohl reveals that he almost joined the American monster band GWAR.

“GWAR were looking for a drummer. And I talked to their guitar player Dewey [Rowell, aka ‘Flattus Maximus’] 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?”

So we never got to live in a world where Grohl sits behind the GWAR drum kit. But maybe that’s better in the end.
