The Prodigy's Foo for thought

The Prodigy were "inspired" by Dave Grohl.

The British group - who have enjoyed global success with hits such as 'Smack My B***h Up' and 'Firestarter' - insisted the Foo Fighters frontman's drumming contribution to 'Running With The Wolves' got their creative juices flowing.

We haven't just phoned him up and said, 'Dave can you get on the record?'

Group member Liam Howlett said: "Dave sent me some drums on a hard-drive with the hope that it might inspire me to write a song - sure enough when I got the hard-drive it was really inspirational.

"Within the first ten seconds of it being on I was like, 'Yeah this is a song' and the track was born."

Meanwhile, singer Keith insists it was Dave who made the first move towards working with the dance act.

He added: "We've known Dave for quite a few years. We haven't just phoned him up and said, 'Dave can you get on the record?'"

The Prodigy's new album 'Invaders Must Die' is released on March 2.
