They talked about a range of things - Rog's deep voice and his unfathomably hairy forearms, to name a couple. But they also touched on a much more serious note, and something that is very real and very unsettling: depression and suicide.

Bryce asked the two rockstars to weigh in their thoughts on the tragic deaths of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington, two much-loved musicians who took their own lives earlier this year. An emotional Grohl and Hawkins opened up and provided the most raw and most real conversation that we've been a part of.
