Hello Everyone...

The Foo Fighters have come a long way. Though they have announced a bit of a hiatus, don't fear. It seems they always wind up doing something every few years or so. What I always liked about the band as a whole never took themselves too seriously. Lead by ex-Nirvana Drummer and all-around good-natured fellow, Dave Grohl, the band made plenty of hilarious music videos and memorable TV appearances.

In the 90s, Dave Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins appeared on Craig Kilborne for a stripped-down acoustic set. Instead of playing one of their big hits, or soon-to-be hits, they decided to do an impromptu Zeppelin jam of Stairway to Heaven. It's clear Grohl doesn't quite know all the lyrics, but the crowd is more than happy to help out. This isn't the most beautiful of covers, but everyone looks like they are having fun. Enjoy a rare and early look at one of the best rock bands in the last 2 decades.
