* When Dave broke his leg at a show in Sweden, [[http://pitchfork.com/news/60248-dave-grohl-plays-entire-foo-fighters-show-on-giant-light-up-throne/ he designed a throne to sit on during their 20th Anniversary show so he could play]]. He admitted, however, he was high on Oxycontin for the pain when he drew it, as evidenced by the fact that it's made of guitar necks (a la the Iron Throne from "Game of Thrones") and has the notes "Lasers and shit" written at the top.
** He would later lend his throne to Axl Rose for two Guns n' Roses shows in Las Vegas after he broke his foot.

Rather than report the accident, Lemmy tosses him into the limo and picks up the remaining band members. After a few drinks, some implied marijuana use, and two random blonde women showing up, the video cuts to StockFootage of a car flying off a cliff at the end, implying that the limo did the same.

-->'''Dave Grohl:''' "You know, I can see some garage band who depends on every single sale just to keep themselves going complaining about Napster, but when you're Lars Ulrich, a member of the biggest band on the planet, whose share of the last concert tour your band put on came to something like $80 million, I think you need to shut the fuck up and stop fucking whining!"
