That would be something I would like to hear, it'd make a great bootleg.

Thanks for posting.

Can't watch at work. Did he say whether he was on drums or guitar?

"It's a long story..."

Sure is.

It's a shame he didn't go into details about returning another night (sorry, TWO other nights) to perform what they had rehearsed...only to get the wave/shine/turned up nose from the man.

"Let's do it next week..." Is what I heard P told Dave...twice.

I've wondered why DG was never mentioned (even as rumour) around here when it was all going on. Noone would shut up about the "confirmed rumour" of Gwen, etc...and here we/HE had a real talent waiting in the wings.

It's funny because the interviewer ran off a list of other "rock legends" like Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones and Roger Daltrey and Dave was like yeah that was cool, but I played with Prince!!!

Do you have a source for any of that?

While I don't care for his music, and will always maintain that Nirvana killed real rock n roll, I do admire his enthusiasm when he plays.

Dave Grohl is awesome!!! Love to hear that he got the chance to jam with Prince.

I would love to see these two legends on the same stage together - lets hope something happens again soon

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

I just thought I'd spend a few minutes composing the post because there aren't enough rumours that fly around this site already...

That interviewer is TERRIBLE. Let the interviewee speak and dont project what you believe they think onto them.

Love Dave Grohl though.

wow, really interesting stuff. but yeah, that interviewer was weak. he had his set questions (which were fine), but he didn't ask follow up questions that actually related to what dave grohl was saying. it was like, "yeah, yeah, just finish your answer dave grohl because i already know what i want to say next." c'mon dude, it's dave grohl is super excited that he jammed with prince. ask a follow-up! like what kind of music did you play?

and as a fan of prince's music, i'd love to hear more about that jam session!

They're probably a big fans of each other, moreso David Grohl me thinks. Foo Fighters recorded a cover of Daring Nikki a few years back. Its good.

I think David Grohl great, very talented. Would love to get hold of the jam of that.

Wrong.

Just because Doc Funkytoes didn't tweet about it doesn't mean it didn't happen...

So, why was it that this supposedly didn't happen? What happened? And was he supposed to just be on drums or the guitar too later on in the performance?

I'm pretty sure Prince had no idea how good and versatile Grohl is on drums, because he's been known more as a frontman for a while. Dave assaults the drums.

That's not even including Taylor Hawkins in the mix.

But we know what's coming - Justin Bieber on the drums.

I am very sure Prince knows how he is on drums which is why he suggested Dave play them
