Basically Everyone Played At Dave Grohl’s Birthday Gig

Foo Fighters celebrated Dave Grohl’s 46th birthday with a benefit concert in Los Angeles over the weekend, and the gig quickly transformed into an all-star jam session featuring such rock legends as Slash, Alice Cooper and David Lee Roth.

Reports Loudwire, Grohl’s early birthday celebrations kicked off with a bang when KISS’ Paul Stanley joined the Foos for an opening performance of Detroit Rock City and Do You Love Me. From then on, the audience knew they were in for a treat.

Tenacious D’s Jack Black and Kyle Gass also guest starred along with Slash, accompanying the Foo Fighters for renditions of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song and Queen’s Tie Your Mother Down. Black reportedly also led the audience in singing Happy Birthday to Grohl.

Legendary rocker Alice Cooper jumped on stage to perform School’s Out and I’m Eighteen with the band and Van Halen’s David Lee Roth who performed Panama and ‘Ain’t Talkin ‘Bout Love to both the audience’s and Grohl’s visible delight.

Other guest stars included Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, Trombone Shorty, guitarist Zakk Wylde, Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell and Nick Oliveri. As well as multiple covers, the 31-song set also featured Foo Fighters favourites including My Hero, Learn to Fly, Everlong and an extended Monkey Wrench jam.
