During a Foo Fighters concert in Los Angeles on Sunday, a fan complained about another fan who was holding up a sign that blocked people’s view. The fan shared online that Dave Grohl told the person to put the sign down because it was in the way of others.
The sign seemed to be about marriage or asking the band to play at a wedding. The fan appreciated Grohl’s response, noting that while signs can be okay at the end of a show for things like setlists or rare song requests, they can be annoying if they block the view of concert goers.
The fan thought it was funny when Grohl said he would think about the wedding request only after the sign was lowered, and then joked that he would be busy that day.
Foo Fighters are dominating the American touring scene this summer, while Liam Gallagher is selling out shows in the United Kingdom. In case you didn’t know, Liam Gallagher previously criticized U2, elaborating on his response to Dave Grohl’s praise, where Grohl called him “one of the last remaining rock stars.” In an interview with NME, Grohl had lauded Gallagher’s rock star persona and praised their collaboration on the song ‘Everything Electric.’ When asked on Twitter about Grohl’s praise, Gallagher responded positively, stating that Grohl was correct and that the rest were “useless.”
In a subsequent interview with Loudwire, Gallagher expanded on his initial response, expressing his belief that many who consider themselves rock stars lead boring lives. He singled out U2, questioning their claim to being a rock ‘n’ roll band and criticizing them for not embodying a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. Gallagher emphasized the importance of living an exciting life in the realm of rock ‘n’ roll.
“It’s like putting a F****** quarter in a juke box and just turning it up with that guy. It’s fucking great. Obviously, he’s an amazing singer and he’s a fucking rock star. He is one of the few last remaining rock stars.”
