Foo Fighters performed at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Friday, and a young 8-year old Venezuelan fan named Little Fonzie came on stage with his father. Fonzie was invited by Dave Grohl to go to the drum set, and he kicked into a John Bonham style 4-minute drum solo. Things got awkward though when Fonzie played a little too long when Grohl had given him a minute, as Dave said the band still had a couple more songs to play. Taylor Hawkins was able to get him to wrap it up, and both he and Dave seemed impressed by Fonzie drumming skills.
Dave Grohl discussed the current leg of the Concrete and Gold tour in a new USA Today article.
“A lot of the venues on this trip are different,” says singer Dave Grohl. In just the last week of April, the band played the first concert at Atlanta’s renovated Georgia State Stadium and returned to West Palm Beach, Fla., for the first time in 12 years.
“I have this theory that if you wait long enough – if you wait a decade to go anywhere – by the time you finally make it there, you’ll have a sold-out show,” he reasons. “Then you just cycle that around the planet.”
The Foo Fighters will get the rest of May off, then spend June touring Europe. When they return to the USA in July, they’ll make their firstvisit to Maryland’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, an amphitheater that’s new to Grohl despite growing up about an hour away in Springfield, Va.
“I think I’ve seen one show there, but we’ve never played there,” he explains. “I’m kind of excited to be able to fly home and be home for a few days and then play a big noisy rock show.”
