Foo Fighters not only Rick Rolled a bunch of hateful religious nuts, but the band also performed Never Gonna Give You Up with Rick Astley at one of their gigs.
Now, three years later, Astley is covering Foo Fighters’ Everlong. It was kind of weird to see rockers perform a pop hit, but it is even weirder to see it reversed. Not in a bad way, it is weird because it is so simpatico.
When musicians can start touring again, I hope these two artists share a bill. Astley is the perfect ying to the Foo Fighters yang. I would pay to see them live.
Back in 2015, Dave Grohl broke his leg during a Foo Fighters‘ concert and kept on playing. Nothing will stop him. Well, almost nothing.
Hi, this is Dave.
Remember me? The guy who wouldn’t even postpone a show when my goddamn leg was falling off?
Well… playing a gig with a sock full of broken bones is one thing, but playing a show when YOUR health and safety is in jeopardy is another…
We fuckin’ love you guys. So let’s do this right and rain check shit. The album is done, and it’s fuckin’ killer. The lights and stage are in the trucks, ready to go. The SECOND we are given the go ahead, we’ll come tear shit up like we always do. Promise.
Now go wash your hands.
Dave
I am sure as soon as they are given the go-ahead, they will be the first band to play where ever they needed, which is everywhere.
When you think of the bands that Dave Grohl would be into, Hall & Oates will be on the bottom of them list. However, they are not. Here is the Foo Fighters singer posing with the duo wearing a shirt with their names on it.
Maybe the duo can become a trio? I would love to hear him sing Private Eyes and Maneater with them. It would be totally bitchin’.
I love that the Nirvana drummer is all into Adult Contemporary artists like this duo and Rick Astley. Give it a few years and the Seattle band will be muzak too. We will be jamming to Smells Like Teen Spirit in the elevators.
For some reason, CBS asked Maroon 5 to do the Super Bowl half time show instead of the Foo Fighters. Well, DirectTV is smarter than that, so they asked the band to host #SuperSaturdayNight from Atlanta yesterday. They were not alone, they were joined on stage by Roger Taylor (Queen), Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Zac Brown, Tom Morello and Dave Koz. It was such a cool night that Paul Rudd, Jon Hamm, Vanessa Hudgens, Emily Ratajkowski, Sarah Hyland, Keegan-Michael Key, Nina Dobrev, Aaron Rodgers, Grant Show, Mark Cuban and many stopped by to watch them perform.
Missed the performance? At least we got the above short directed by Dave Grohl to watch tonight instead of the half time show. What? You are thinking why did they pick Adam Levine’s bans over the Foo.

Dave Grohl was performing at CES yesterday and someone gave him a beer. First, he spilled it and they he had a spill off the stage. Just like a Timex watch, he takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Which is why he is the epitome of what a rockstar is supposed to be.
