Saw this and thought I'd share. This girl is amazing for 10 years old. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, watch the beginning and then from 3:20 on.

Dave responds to her at 30 seconds in his video. He says he hasn't played that song on drums since recording it in 1997, lol.

I saw a concert with Muse, Foo Fighters, and the Chili Peppers in 2000. Grohl took his guitar up into the stands of the arena he was playing in. He was standing in the seats that kind of overlooked the stage and spot lights were on him while he ripped a guitar solo. He was about to go back down the stairs to get on the stage again and a bunch of fans had crept up the stairs and onto the row he was playing on to get close...they totally blocked his path back to the stage. The song was still going, but his solo had ended. He took off down the row away from them and jumped into the concourse where the concessions, etc were. I could see the various tunnels from my seat and saw Grohl running with his guitar slung on his back with a mob of fans chasing after him.

He turned and ran down the stairs on the opposite side of the stage...all the way to the floor where he could jump back up on the stage. He swung the guitar around and got in front of the mic just in time to start singing again. That was the exact moment that I gained respect for him as a true performer. It was a heck of a show and as much as I like the Chili Peppers, I could have left after the Foo Fighters played and felt like I got my money's worth.

DUDE that's fucking epic. Muse, Foo Fighters, AND Chili Peppers in one go. You must've been completely amped after that. I've been to those three separately live, and all three put on amazing shows (especially Muse). I can't even imagine that. That's probably THE SHOW you gauge all other live shows in your life.

Yeah. It's hard to beat a triple header act, but Bonnaroo and other festivals offer opportunity. No body knew who Muse was back then and they brought some hard punk to the stage that show.

Anyone remember the video of a bunch fans that did a cover of Learn To Fly & Dave was so inspired that the Foo Fighters kicked off their European tour in/near that town? I don't think they were even supposed to play near there at all.

-edit
Here it is. There was a thread here about this too but i don't feel like searching.

Yeah but whats talent?
Kick over a trash can, starving artists crawl out.

The REAL skill, the scarce ability, is to sell yourself.
Thats why Taylor Swift is a fuckin millionaire even though her talent is mostly bullshit.
Ditto Britney and Christina.
