Dave Grohl is a legendary musician, and he's also got a great sense of humor.

While at a bar in Virginia Beach, a confused bartender somehow didn't recognize the Foo Fighters frontman and asked if he was in singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers' band. Instead of correcting the server or going on a "how dare you not know who I am!" tirade, the funny man said that he was her guitar tech. The 25-year-old musician took to Twitter to tell fans the story, and give her thoughts on the situation.

"guys a bartender in virginia beach just asked dave grohl if he was in my band i am, as they say, 'deceased'” she wrote before following up with Grohl's priceless response. "he responded 'I’m her guitar tech.'"

Check out Rogers' tweets below.

Grohl recently surprised Seattle fans when he and Brandi Carlile busked at the famous Pike's Place Market. The duo performed Foo Fighters' "Times Like These" and also covered The Beatles' iconic hit "Let It Be."

Street performances aside, Grohl and the Foos are hitting the festival circuit this summer and are also playing a couple dates in South America with Weezer and Tenacious D. Check out their full list of 2019 live dates here.
