During FOO FIGHTERS set this past weekend at Sonic Temple Festival, Dave Grohl mocked bands who use death growls and backing tracks, after a man in the front row mocked the Foo Fighters’ medley of instrumental solos.
Grohl said: “It would be a shame to have him sitting there all night long playing the drums. So let’s have Taylor Hawkins come down and play a f*cking song.
As Hawkins was preparing to come to the front of the stage to sing, Grohl responded to a fan in the crowd, and fired indirect shots at bands who growl and use backing tracks during their performances.
“Oh I’m sorry, am I taking too long for you?” he mocks. “Would you rather I (growls intelligibly)? Play to a bunch of f*cking backing tracks and go [growls]? No,” he jokes.
