Dave Grohl's Sound City Players Cover Nirvana? Foo Fighters Singer Asked PJ Harvey to Sing in Place of Kurt Cobain, SXSW 2013 Performance Was Group's Last

Foo Fighters front man and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl has been making a lot of news recently. The rocker's most recent project with the Sound City Players almost got a whole lot cooler if you could believe that. The band was featured in a documentary about the California studio where Nirvana once recorded "Nevermind" and Grohl revealed to NME, that he asked PJ Harvey to join the remaining Nirvana band members on stage in place of Kurt Cobain.

NME asked Grohl if he ever considered covering a Nirvana song live and he replied by saying, "Every once in a while we talk about it. For the Sound City gig here in London we were thinking about musicians that we could invite because Stevie Nicks and John Fogerty couldn't make it. Someone came up with the idea of doing a Nirvana song with PJ Harvey. Kurt loved her and we love her and we thought, 'Yeah, what would we do?' I said: 'God, what if we were to do 'Milk It' from 'In Utero' with Polly singing?' We all looked at each other like, 'Woah, that would be amazing...' and then she couldn't do it!"

This obviously would have been huge news for not only Nirvana and Dave Grohl fans, but music fans in general. Grohl doesn't take the idea lightly as I'm sure a lot of Nirvana fans would have mixed feelings about a cover song. Grohl went on to tell NME, "The thing is, it's sacred ground. If we were ever to do something like that it would have to be right because you want to pay tribute. There's a reason Foo Fighters don't do Nirvana songs, and it's a good reason."

Grohl doesn't seem to go into further detail as to why Harvey couldn't do it, but Grohl does talk more in NME's interview with the Foo Fighters singer. You can download the interview digitally on their website.

Grohl also mentioned in the interview the Sound City Players performance at SXSW with John Fogerty, Ricki Springfield, Stevie Nicks, and Rick Nielsen was the group's last.
