actually, the meeting came about for Corey and Grohl because we had some pretty bad floods here exactly one year ago over in Queensland,where Brisane is the capitol..the Fooies had just gone home to the states after an Aussie festival tour,heard about the floods and the billions it had cost so they flew back here a couple of weeks later and performed several acoustic gigs in and around Brisbane to help raise money for famillies who had lost their homes etc..., Corey heard about these "secret" gigs and flew to Queensland after getting a ticket for a gig via the Fooies record label and with the help of the label managed a meeting after the gig,but only because he was a vocalist in a tribute band....
apparently Grohl was taken aback a little bit that there was a Fooies tribute band out there,especially when they are still at the top of their game, Corey said he and Grohl actually did a duet backstage of acoustically of their "monkey wrench" single from a decade ago,got Grohl's leather jacket given to him fully signed by the band...i believe it is mounted behind glass in his house right now!.....lucky SOB!...and i met my idol in Paul Weller and he was a complete assh#le in 2010!!!!!!
