The Foo Fighters were due to play live. They played the first minute of the song, stopped, yelled obscenities, then were chased into the car park. When they were told this wasn't a live broadcast, but a dress rehearsal, they apologised and said they wouldn't do it on the live show. No one believed them and they were told to leave the studio.
