Dave Grohl gets social media

[TJ8869]

I’m not a huge fan of Foo Fighters but this is a cool story. A 10-year-old girl who posts videos of herself drumming to various songs challenged Grohl to a drum-off by posting “Everlong”. Grohl accepted the challenge and then challenged her to play Them Crooked Vultures’ “Dead End Friends”.

It’s funny - I can’t say incompletely love the foo fighters. Their first album blew me away but I grew to like other kinds of bands/music. However, grohl drives on as one of the coolest dudes in music and it makes me want to start following their music more and more.

Very cool

Exactly. Some artists would have shut down her videos for copyright violations. Instead, Dave took 10 minutes out of his day to compliment her talent and encourage her to continue striving to improve. It probably meant the world to her.

If I’m not mistaken, doesn’t he also sometimes have young musicians come up on stage and play a song with the band during concerts? How cool would that be for a budding teenage musician?

Like you said, it makes me want to start paying more attention to his music.

I saw the Foo Fighters in 2018 finally and it was everything I could hope for. They played for close to 3 hours that night. Dave Grohl is still amazing.

Their first album is still the best. An all-time great album.

“Your friend in rock,” is such a cool way to end an email, and should be limited only to rockstars.

Second album was better. Might be my favorite album of the 90's.

I enjoy the Foo Fighters, but they're not one of my favorites by any means. But Dave Grohl seems like a truly cool guy. Would love to have a beer and shoot the shit with him.

Agree to disagree. Very good album, but turning towards more pop sensibilities. The first album was such raw and raucous rock.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

That’s why you don’t see many fat drummers. That was a hell of a work out.

Dave Grohl has always struck me as one of the true nice guys of rock music.

 

[Nipigu]

Awesome!

 

[BubsFinn]

The Foo Fighters is one of those bands that I think I should like more than I do. And Dave Grohl does seem like one hell of a guy. Didn't he fall off a stage, break his leg, and finish the show? Not many guys would do that.

When they tour again, check them out. They’re great. I always thought they were decent and then saw a few of their shows. Made me follow them a lot more. 3 hour show and they empty the tank

This would have been fun.

Sorry, Love, but I put one in a skank up in Scranton. Don’t worry, she was clean.

I saw that once when Green Day pulled a guitarist out of the audience and let him jam with them on one of their songs. Kid was walking on air when it was over (and he was pretty damn good on his solo.)

Green Day used to do it with their cover of Operation Ivy’s song, Knowledge, at every show.
