Reply to comment by haricariandcombines in TIL Germs and Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear appears as one of the dancers in Prince's 1985 video for "Raspberry Beret." Dave Grohl in the book "I Want My MTV": "Pat can't dance so they sent him home (...) Prince whispers in the bodyguard's ear. Bodyguard says, 'You can stay. He likes your hair.'" by Bubbly-Incident

Yes they needed a second guitar for In Utero and Pat was already quite accomplished from his work in the Germs.

Kurt found Pat in the SST Superstore. It's not like they ran into each other while they were shopping; Pat was working the counter. Because that's what you did when you were between gigs. Sometimes it'd be a few weeks, sometimes it'd be a few years, but you still got to be around music and you still got to network with people.
