For the drummers in the audience….(Foo Fighter related)
You are at a Foo Fighter concert and Dave G asks who can play drums? You raise your hand and get pulled up on stage....could you pull this off? Really begins to rock after 5 Minutes in...Dave calls him a "good f'ing drummer"

I mean….other than becoming a rock star, what could ever exceed this moment musically for this dude?

It is Dave Grohl so be warned there are a few curse words…

That's awesome. Dave Grohl is, by practically all accounts, a really good guy and just a regular joe. Nothing rock star about him whatsoever. A few years ago, he broke his leg and rather than cancel the tour and disappoint the fans, he played live, sitting in a chair with a cast on.

Reminds me of this piece of rock 'n roll legend, when Keith Moon passed out in the middle of a song on stage and The Who had some random dude fill in for him and do a damn fine job of it. IIRC, they basically threatened him with his job after the show.

Edit. ^^ Beat me to it.

FF are one band where musicians in the crowd have a decent shot of a Walter Mitty-like fantasy coming true. Of course, the original incident was Keith Moon passing out and Pete asking if anyone could play the drums. A guy in the front finished out the show for them. Check out the FF video of the guy in the Gene Simmons makeup sitting in for a song. I've done this stuff in bars plenty, but never been asked at a big show (yet).

That's a pretty good one but Kiss Guy takes the win

Keith Urban called up a kid from the audience and he nails it. It's not planned but the kid obviously was ready for the moment

Wow, I was not aware of The Who story. The kid who did that is not deceased, brain tumor.

Here is his Wiki page....pretty damn cool.

To add....

Kiss Guy!
As one of the YouTube comments said, “it was nice of Kiss Guy to invite Dave to his concert!”


Again...Dave G is one of the coolest dudes ever.
