Dave Grohl Being Awesome!

Probably NSFW. Lots of cussing, but very appropriate cussing.

He's gotta point, though, and makes it VERY directly.

Dickheads at shows are the worst. I like Grohl's approach. You can see security rushing the guy through the crowd. So awesome. Haha.

meh, easy to curse someone from a safe distance with lots of fans & security providing a barrier. he could have just had the dude ejected, with out all the tough guy talk.

I saw that video and it was awesome!!

Grohl grew up with underground metal and punk... how did he go to shows if he doesn't like fights?

He grew up in the DC scene...tons of hardcore & punk bands...I don't see what liking fights has to do with it. I'd wager that Grohl would throw down on someone in a minute if given the right circumstances...and he probably cares enough about his fans to not want to see them screwed with.

I look forward to starting some sh*t when I see 'em in November.

I agree as well - It's completely appropriate to have the guy thrown out, but Dave was clearly using the situation to his advantage, and ended up sounding like a dick.

Of course he used it to his advantage, and rightfully so! It's his show, his band, and some piece of trash was out there probably kicking little girls and picking on people smaller than him.

He had to do what he did, single the guy out. You think it's easy for security to find one dude among a thousand? It is if you shine a damn spotlight on him.

Of course if it were Rob Halford or Dio (RIP) a bunch of you would be singing a different tune


I agree with Exact 100%

I think the best part is the end when Dave starts singing like nothing happened.

Hey, at least he didn't throw a beer bottle at the guy in the crowd and hit a girl next to him.

I've actually seen Halford do something similar to this years ago, when I was at a Fight gig. A bunch of guys in the pit were squashing a girl against the stage, he actually helped her up onstage to get her out of the crush, then called the guys out and said "That's how you're supposed to treat a lady...not like a piece of sh*t." Then he kissed her hand and she watched the rest of the show from the side of the stage by the crew/roadies.

Dave wasn't being a dick...he was respecting his audience. Even when they tried to start a "Dave-Dave" chant, he stopped them and would not the crowd treat him like a hero...the guy was a dick and he had to be kicked out...and Eyesore is right, singling the guy out helps security find him.

At least Axl Rose had the decency to back up his tough talk by leaping in the crowd, beating on a dude and starting a riot.

Cool story.

It was kinda funny cuz even though Halford was supposed to be tryin' for the Pantera-ish "street/groove/br00tal" vibe with that band, he still stopped the show to help this gal and scold the guys in the crowd like a proper British school teacher.

Yeah and Axl has very little to no credibility anymore either, and any credibility he has is for a masterpiece of an album he did in 1987!!

This is my favorite of these type things...also, very much NSFW.
