If you’re one of the millions of people who’ve heard Nirvana’s cover of the David Bowie classic “The Man Who Sold the World” from their Unplugged album, you already know that Dave Grohl and Pat Smear are devout Bowie fans. But did you know that Smear and his bandmates in the Germs used to stalk Bowie all over 1970s Los Angeles? Join us as Smear and Grohl drive around town (in a custom and, as Grohl says, “totally ‘90s” Ford Bronco) visiting Bowie’s L.A. homes, both personal and creative. Along the way the two bandmates reminisce, nerd out on Bowie trivia and even pick up a legendary passenger. (Also, they call Joan Jett.) We can’t imagine anyone we’d rather celebrate Bowie’s memory with than these guys. Enjoy.

    dave singing "back that azz up" and pat just sitting there like "oh god, here he goes again" as if this is something that happens all the time (because it probably is) cracks me up every single time
  • @PoorStargazer
    Can Dave and pat just have their own show? Their chemistry is awesome!
  • you can tell right away, Pat must have had the greatest parents ever, few people are so naturally happy.
  • @gagewalser8866
    Dave Grohl singing Back That Azz up is pure gold 😂😂😂💯
  • @MrBikboi
    Pat Smear is a genuine dude who doesn't get enough credit.
  • @ExclusiveLM
    After watching Pat on this video, I realized why Kurt wanted him on the band. Pat's energy.......... He's so relaxed. He is a good human being. So, Dave being cool and mellow too guarantees they both will definitely be friends for the rest of their lives. Fuck. I want to see Dave and Pat hosting a show at least once a week or once a month where they just talk about encounters they had with other famous people. They should get paid a lot of money by a network or Netflix to do a show like that. If you agree thumbs up.
  • Yes the friendship between Dave and Taylor was legendary they were practically soulmates but the chemistry and brotherhood between Dave and Pat is extremely epic too!
  • @retsub3
    God imagine driving around historic Hollywood holy grounds for a day with the Pat Smear as your tour guide and sage storyteller. Protect this man at all costs 💖
  • @gemee1
    I could watch these two banter for YEARS. I love hearing Pat laugh!
  • @ukkovuorela4196
    No one ever talks about Pat, he seems like a super cool guy and he is a great player too
  • @cptmcnugget6848

  • @shawnreimer1017

  • @1212sman
    Dave Grohl is just a huge geek about all this stuff. Like the whole Sonic Highways thing. Best freakin' dude in the whole world.
  • @dandunning7731
    "Have you tried the garlic bread?"
    "No, it's a prop."
    "Don't say that on camera!"
  • I'd absolutely shit myself if I was driving around and I see dave and Pat fucking around. How cool
  • @patton303
    Pat Smear is the perfect bandmate. I love these two together.
  • @cadillacblue3412
    I met Bowie in front of Top Hat cleaners on Santa Monica... We spoke and he called me "mate" it was a memorable day!
