Dave Grohl Discusses U2, Eddie Money and LSD, Jams with Jon Brion at L.A. Chat Show

Photo: Mazur/WireImage One monster jam went down at Hollywood’s Largo Theater last night, as Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion pounded through a medley of classics by Rush, Foghat, Eddie Money and the Edgar Winter Group all in under three minutes. It followed a dramatic stage reading by Grohl of metal band Manowar’s “Gloves of Metal” and “All Men Play On Ten,” recited as poetry while Brion tickled the piano keys with a serene lullaby. If that sounds ridiculously absurd, comedian Greg Proops intended it that way. Best known for his improv work, a recurring role on Nickelodeon’s “True Jackson, VP,” and guest stints on shows like “Flight of the Conchords,” Proops is hosting a monthly “Chat Show” at the recently relocated Largo, and asking friends to share the stage and their personal stories. Last night’s line-up included half-hour sit-downs with Grohl, whom Proops met last month at a Valentine’s Day dinner, and comedian David Cross. Both Daves regaled the audience with tales of their younger years — Cross describing the fake ID he used to sneak into Athens punk shows (checking out bands like Pylon); Grohl telling of the first time he met U2’s Larry Mullen, Jr. during the Nirvana days. Proops proved to be a solid interviewer, leading the conversation gingerly while making sure to draw plenty of laughs, but it was Grohl who had bellies aching by the end of the night. Grohl described the first time he did acid at 17. “I was scared, because I knew that’s a fuckin’ gnarly commitment, man,” Grohl told Proops. “It’s like, nine hours.” And as it turned out, coming down from that fateful trip was just as dangerous. “I saw this percolator from, like, the Dick Van Dyke show in the 50s,” said Grohl, “and all I could think was, ‘coffee!’ So I take it down, plug it in, don’t put anything in it, and then, poof! I was thrown to the ground, in altered states, out of my mind! I was out for, like, two days. Good blotter, dude.” Grohl also went
