Last week at the Foo Fighters' show at Richmond, Va.'s National Theatre (where they were performing to celebrate the town's "Foo Fighters Day" after a crowd funding campaign brought them there), Grohl spoke about seeing Richmond hometown heroes GWAR for the first time, and then recalled an interview with their late frontman Oderus Urungus (a.k.a. Dave Brockie) who died in March of this year.
