Foo Fighters frontman and iconic drummer of Nirvana Dave Grohl was on the Bon Appétit Foodcast recently to promote his new Backbeat BBQ company. During the show, Grohl shared a concerning story about chest pains that led him to go to the doctor’s office years back.  Alternative Nation transcribed Grohl’s comments. 

Grohl: I come home and I call my doctor and I’m like: “Mel, I’m having chest pains” and he’s like: “are you having them right now?” I said: “kinda” and he told me to come in here [his office]. I go in there and I’m full six million dollar man, all the things on me, an EKG.

Host: Do you have a hairy chest?

Grohl: I don’t have any hair on my chest at all.

Host: Oh, okay.

Grohl: Anyways, so, he’s like: “you look fine but I think you should get a CAT scan”. So, I’m going to get a CAT scan and the doctor takes one look at the CAT scan and goes: “how old are you?” and I said: “I’m forty” because I had just turned forty so I assumed I was going to die soon, He was like: “Your heart is fine but are you under any stress?” I’m like, yeah a little bit.” The doctor asked if I got enough sleep and I was like, “Nah”, asked if I drank a lot of coffee and I said: “yeah…”

Host: Depends on what you mean by a lot!

Grohl: The doctor basically said to play drums three days a week and have a glass of red wine and you’ll be fine.

Host: Did he tell you to cut down on your coffee consumption?

Grohl: Yeah and, I tried to decaffeinate.
