So how did Timberlake get in the studio with Foo Fighters in the first place? Well, a little bit of liquor helped the situation! Grohl recalled the story to Rolling Stone in a recent interview:

“Then there was the day Justin Timberlake dropped by. He listened to what the Foos were doing and liked what he heard, and pretty soon he and Grohl were hanging out regularly. ‘We’d drink whiskey in the parking lot,’ Grohl says. ‘He was really, really cool. Then the night before his last day, he says, ‘Can I sing on your record? I don’t want to push it, but —I just want to be able to tell my friends.’ So the band had him add some ‘la la la’s’ to one track. ‘He nailed it,’ Grohl says. ‘I’m telling you—the guy’s going somewhere.'”

Concrete And Gold, Foo Fighters' ninth album, is the follow-up to 2014's Sonic Highways. It also features artists like Paul McCartney, Boyz II Men member Shawn Stockman and The Kills' Alison Mosshart. Next, watch this classic Fuse interview where Dave Grohl reflects on his musical upbringing:
