Dave Grohl is a big fan of the band. Whats he like?
He’s an utter gentleman. We played with [Foo Fighters] at Lancashire Cricket Ground and there was this 30ft ramp that went out into the audience. Some guy came round and said: ‘No one goes on that ramp apart from Dave.’ Three songs into the show I ran down and dived off the end. I got back to the dressing room and there was Dave Grohl bounding down the corridor. He gave me a big hug and said: ‘That show was amazing, but don’t you ever go on my f**king ramp again.’ Tue Oct 14, Academy, Frogmore Street, Bristol, 7pm, £12.50. Tel: 0844 477 2000. www.thesubways.
