AceShowbiz - If you thought that Foo Fighters' members were having fun during "Carpool Karaoke" with host James Corden last month, you couldn't be more wrong. The band recently revealed that filming "The Late Late Show with James Corden" segment, during which they and the host belted out some of their hit songs like "All My Life", "Best of You", "Learn to Fly" and their latest single "The Sky Is a Neighborhood", was "a little uncomfortable."
The band's guitarist Pat Smear noted that the long hours contributed to their discomfort. "By hour three in dude's car it got less fun," he told NME. "It kinda went on. When we stopped at Guitar Center, that felt like we were done, but it was like, 'This is halfway.' "
Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl added, "Y'know, I don't mind singing my own songs at Glastonbury or The O2, but if I had to sing you a song right now I'd be too embarrassed." However, he praised Corden for being "a huge music lover," and said that "he's a very nice guy."
Smear echoed Grohl's statement, saying that "singing other people's songs would have been easier." Grohl quipped, "I could do that all day. We did The Ramones, and Rick Astley, but they didn't use it. I don't know why."
Britney Spears previously also revealed that things were "awkward" when she was filming her August 2016 episode. "It was a little awkward, like, driving by grocery stores," the global star shared in an interview at the time with radio station KTU 103.5. "People walk by, and there are like 18 cameras around us. This is just so awkward."
However, it was definitely not because she had hard feelings for Corden. "The guy was incredibly sweet," said Spears of the British. "I had no idea he has kids. He's a teddy bear. I was like, 'I just want to hug you right now.' "
