Dave Grohl: "I won't be dressing in drag again this New Year's Eve"

New Year's eve tends to be the one night of the year where everyone the world over goes that extra little bit crazy, and your favourite stars are no exception.

That said, Foo Fighters mainman Dave Grohl says he'll be taking it a bit easier this New Year's Eve following the excess of December 31 last year.

"At midnight on January 1, 2010 I was passed out on the couch at [his recording studio] 606," Grohl tells Kerrang!. "We were having a Grease-themed party, and I went as Olivia Newton-John Travolta, so I had a pompadour wig, sunglasses and a white T-shirt on top, and a poodle skirt and sneakers.

"I was doing shots of Jagermeister with Pat [Smear, Foo Fighters guitarist] and I smoked a joint and then tried to tell Nate [Mendel, Foo Fighters bassist] that I missed him and I couldn't wait to play again, but I couldn't talk," he adds. "And he just looked at me and said, 'I know man, I know...'. So that's when I realised I should just go and pass out! I'm not sure what I'm doing for New Year's, but I'm definitely not putting on the funny little skirt again..."
