A blind date got Them Crooked Vultures together.
The Foo Fighters singer got the other members of supergroup Them Crooked Vultures - Queens Of The Stone Age guitarist Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones - to meet him at a medieval banquet to see if they could work together.He said: 'It was weird, the blind date, but I was aware of Josh’s music obviously - I couldn’t imagine it not working.'
Former Nirvana drummer Dave organised the meet up at Medieval Times - a themed night in the US with lots of meat and a jousting show - for his birthday.
Josh added the setting was perfect, as it meant they could all relax.
He quipped: 'What was good about Medieval Times was that there was no risk of pretension. It broke the ice. With a lance.'
John recently admitted he was happy that plans for his former band to reunite permanently - without singer Robert Plant - fell through as it meant he could work with Them Crooked Vultures.
He said: "Jimmy Page and I rehearsed a bit with Jason Bonham and we couldn't really agree on singers and that fell by the wayside. Then this came along and to be honest, I'm really happy."
