Then I drove three blocks and went from Engelbert to Queens Of The Stone Age, which was a bit of a mindfuck.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remember you walking in and him being like, &#8216;Have you got a ballad for me?&#8217; and we were just like, &#8216;No, we do not have a ballad for you&#8217;,&#8221; Grohl adds, before Elton continued that, &#8220;After three hours we got it and he drummed on every take and every take was amazing.
