Comedian and actor Jim Breuer was interviewed on SiriusXM to discuss a variety of metal and rock related topics.

Here, Breuer discusses how Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl once came up to him to reveal that he would have liked to see him sing for AC/DC during Brian Johnson’s hiatus from the band when he had hearing issues.

Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose ended up temporarily taking over the gig. Alternative Nation reporter Mike Mazzarone transcribed Breuer’s comments.

Breuer: Dave Grohl then comes walking over to me. Now part of me is like ‘he’s been around Jack Black and these guys really know how to rock. I’m just a meathead to him.’ He comes over and goes “Dude! Dude!”

Breuer: First thing Dave Grohl says to me is “When Brian Johnson wasn’t doing AC/DC, I was like [Jim] Breuer’s gotta do AC/DC, Breuer’s gotta do it!”

Breuer: I was like, ‘stop it!’ Can I just say, I went on every radio station and I would not go see AC/DC unless David Grohl was singing. That would be legit to me. Dave Grohl says

“Hey Brian can’t be here but I’m filling in because I love AC/DC”

Breuer: Boom! My man, I might follow the whole tour! He’s the guy. [say] “I’m still Foo Fighters, I’m not looking for the glamour, I’m looking to fill in”. Dave Grohl to me should of been the guy.
