'Studio 666': Dave Grohl says Eddie Vedder loves film's Pearl Jam gag
Watch: Studio 666 cast discuss gore and Eddie Vedder's response to Pearl Jam joke
Dave Grohl has revealed that Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder loves the "Pearl Jam high-five" running gag in the Foo Fighters' new film Studio 666.
The movie stars all six Foos as semi-fictional versions of themselves who must battle against a malevolent force, which escapes from the basement of the secluded California home to which they decamp to record a new album.
A running gag sees the band perform the "Pearl Jam high-five", in which they exuberantly high-five each other in a whole-band gesture similar to the album art for Pearl Jam's 1991 debut album Ten.
Grohl told Yahoo Entertainment UK that Vedder is a big fan of the gesture and has even adopted it for himself.
He said: "I got a text today from [Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins]. Eddie Vedder loves the Pearl Jam high-five and he's starting to Pearl Jam high-five other people."
Grohl's bandmate and co-star in the movie, Nate Mendel added that they have now "got to do one with him", suggesting there could be a big rock star high-five crossover in the near future.

I understand Tenclubs treatment of the two last fanclub singels have affected us all in various ways and to different degrees. But lets not loose our human decency in the wake of it and start spoiling movies.
