Interestingly, he was the drummer on With Teeth. While it might be one of their most "standard" albums, NiN still are pretty much a band that takes pride in recording digitally and taking advantage of it with sound design even if it starts with "normal" instruments.

I've loved Dave Grohl for a long time for just being a stand up guy and a monster drummer, but I have always loathed the Foo Fighters. So you must forgive me for chuckling at my friend's Facebook comment: "Dave Grohl continues to play even after it becomes objectively verifiable that he is literally lame."
In all seriousness though, that's a nasty break and I hope he recovers and can still slam on the drums. He still fills in on drums for various projects quite often and that would be a loss, to me, Foo Fighters aside.

Impressive resilience and dedication to the craft. I love Dave Grohl.
The best know that in the face of adversity, the show must go on.

The medic who was on stage with Dave Grohl, helping him with his legbefore they could put a cast on it, has a band himself, who made a tribute song to Dave and Foo Fighters for continuing the show.

Yeah, Wembley cancelled for me. A real shame.
Oh well, I hope Dave feels better soon too, must be painful! Plus, a full cast in the summer 😓

I can remember when a 20 year old Kieron Dyer scored a goal against Watford for Ipswich Town minutes after breaking his leg.
THAT is real courage.

Dave Whelan broke his leg in an FA Cup final. That is true adversity. He doesn't like to talk about it though.

Yeeaah, as much as i love MJ and have since i was a kid; he lip synched for a lot of his shows and that right there is lip synching.

Grohl is pushing FIFTY (46) and still rocks as hard as anyone in their twenties.
A gift to our generation.

I had tickets to see them in Edinbrugh. Was fucking gutted when it got cancelled.
There been any news if they're gonna reschedule or not? What should I do with the tickets I have?

Rock God and living legend.
He did the same thing for a fan during a Sony E3 party back in 2003. Let him come up on stage and play the guitar. His name was Brady. Here's the video:

LTTP and off topic
but MJ was dancing his ass off, and it's not like we went to see him for his vocal range.
Dave Grohl is a warrior
Yet more Dave and Foo in the news. This is awesome. Dave asks if any fans know the words to Tom Sawyer. Brian raises his hand. This happens.

Definite props to Dave Grohl and the band. Almost makes me forget that I despise them because they believe HIV has no connection to AIDS.

Only Mendel ever believed that, not the rest of the band. And he has since said he was wrong.
