Dave Grohl and Wolfgang Van Halen have mixed their really extensive abilities to prank tens of 1000’s of lovers attending this 12 months’s Welcome To Rockville competition, held on the Daytona World Speedway in Florida.
The incident came about all the way through Foo Opponents’ headline set on the weekend, when the standard mid-set detour into the occupation of drummer Josh Freese was once interrupted through Grohl’s insistence on grabbing the highlight for himself.
“You realize who by no means will get a fucking solo?” Grohl asks the group, ahead of answering his personal query: “Me, goddamit! I by no means get a fucking solo!”
“Since that is the remaining night time of the shuttle,” he continues. “I am gonna do a fucking solo!”
Grohl then seems to release right into a note-for-note quilt of Eddie Van Halen’s iconic Eruption instrumental, which, in actual lifestyles, he can not in point of fact play, some extent made all of the extra obvious as he lifts each arms from the neck of the guitar whilst the song magically continues. All is printed because the digital camera cuts to the wings to expose Wolfgang Van Halen doing the industry, as a result of, after all, it is a solo he can in truth play.
“Dude, I advised you to stay that cool Wolfie, what the fuck you doing at this time?” Grohl asks, holding issues highly spiced. “Everyone, give it up for Wolfgang Van Halen!”
Induced through Freese’s drumming, Wolfgang then launches into the advent of every other Van Halen vintage, Sizzling for Instructor, ahead of Foo Opponents resume their set.
Previous this 12 months, Van Halen advised Vintage Rock that Grohl was once his favorite songwriter, pronouncing, “As a musician and a songwriter, he influences the whole thing that I do in Mammoth.”
