Dave Grohl chugged beer with Foo Fighters’ own personal Santa Claus, who lack a big beard, but had a bloated belly to boot, in Las Vegas over the weekend at the Intersect festival. Good Guy Dave strikes again, and made Santa into a bad ass beer chugging rock star! Grohl and Santa had their beer moment before a stellar performance of the 1995 Foos classic “Big Me.”
A Foo Fighters member defended an offensive Dave Grohl remark last week. Taylor Hawkins recently discussed one of his biggest dreams coming true with Foo Fighters when he got to play an iconic Southern California venue with the band after seeing Queen as a kid live. The venue he is discussing, Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, has sadly been torn down, closing its doors in 2016.
Kerrang asked Hawkins, “Fifteen years after seeing Queen, you fulfilled your ambition of playing Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre shortly after joining Foo Fighters. Was it everything you expected it to be?”
“It’s more of a reflective thing where you look back and can say ‘I really did play Irvine Meadows like I told my mom I would’, but you really don’t think about it at the time. It’s hard to stop yourself in the middle of your work and say, ‘Hey, smell the roses and enjoy this moment, you’ve accomplished something very few people do.’ There’s so much in what I do that is beyond hard work – there’s luck and timing and just being in the right place at the right time with the right hairdo. I know I’m so fortunate.” Dave Grohl recently broke his silence on the Greta Van Fleet backlash.
