Title: Rockin 1000
Post by: Grumpmeister on October 20, 2017, 09:50:55 AM

Back in 2015 1000 musicians got together in a little town in Italy and performed a cover of the Foo Fighters 'Learn to Fly'. The video was so popular it went global with over 30 million views and the Foos even performed in the town after seeing it themselves.

A little later they decided to hold their own concert...

But they shouldn't hold their breath waiting for Bowie or Kobain to turn up like Dave Grohl did

The sheer power behind a couple of hundred hyperactive drummers hammering out those first 4 drum beats on Smells Like Teen Spirit...  cloud9:
