Dave Grohl was in the Northern Virginia-based hardcore band Scream before he was in Nirvana. Even though Grohl primarily played drums for the band, he sang lead vocals on one song, “Gods Look Down” in 1989. In a newly-released outtake from the Foo Fighters HBO series “Sonic Highways,” Grohl revisited an alternate take of the song with producer Barrett Jones. “I sound like a girl,” Grohl said at one point listening. “I don’t think my balls had dropped yet.” Watch the clip below.

When Janelle Monáe spoke at the event (“Get off our areolas; get off our vaginas,” she demanded), she and Jidenna led the crowd in a call-and-response performance of “Hell You Talmbout.” They were accompanied by the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Mohamed Bah, Eric Garner, Dontre Hamilton, and Jordan Davis.
