Dave Grohl shocked a packed Brisbane crowd last week by sharing a wild story about once getting arrested in Australia.
The Foo Fighters frontman, 54, told fans at Suncorp Stadium on December 12 about the day he was arrested for drink driving on a scooter in the Gold Coast in 2000.
‘I was on one of those Big Day Out tours. I was on a scooter that I ran to the Gold Coast, so I can go to Sea World and drink f***ing blue shots,’ he began.
‘I was supposed to be on vacation but I spent that s**t in a f***ing jail cell with a dude in a Primus T-shirt who wouldn’t stop snoring.’
Fortunately, Dave said his cellmates were big fans of him and he was able to make friends with them.
‘Everybody in the jail was like, “Alright Dave!” We were on tour with Nine Inch Nails and Primal Scream and I’m the one that gets f***ing thrown in jail. That is bulls**t!’
Despite going through that challenging experience, Grohl is open about his love for Australia, after touring Down Under for over 30 years.
Earlier this month, Grohl paid an emotional tribute to ‘his home away from home’ during the Foo Fighters’ packed out show at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.

‘Everybody knows this, and I’m not just saying it because we’re here. Australia is one of our favourite f***ing places in the entire world,’ he told the crowd.
‘It is. It’s like a home away from home. We’ve been coming here for years.’
Grohl said he was thrilled to see younger fans in the crowd who were growing up appreciating his music.
‘I will say this, Australia more than anywhere else in the rest of the world, has a new generation of rock people that are coming out to the shows. I’m glad you’re here.’
Dave first toured Down Under in 1992 with Nirvana and has been visiting the country regularly since 1995 with the Foo Fighters.
