It wasn't all scuffles and scandals for Third Eye Blind at last weekend's KROQ Weenie Roast. The band, which grabbed headlines for an incident involving Green Day, also made lighter news when it was joined by Billy Idol for a rendition of 3EB's "Graduate."

"He came over to the house yesterday," Jenkins explained to MTV News. "And we hung out and he talked about having me help him with his record, producing some tracks, so I was just talking to him about that and I just invited him to come. 'What are you doing? Want to come?'"

"We just might work together and write a song," Idol said. "So he said he was doing the Weenie Roast, KROQ and said why don't I come and sing 'Graduate.'"

Third Eye Blind, minus Idol, will kick off a tour on Thursday in Binghamton, New York.
