Foo Fighters enlisted Wolfgang Van Halen to play a prank on followers throughout their headlining set Saturday night time (Could eleventh) on the Welcome to Rockville pageant in Daytona Seashore, Florida.
After taking part in a medley of Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” “Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop,” and 9 Inch Nails’ “March of the Pigs,” frontman Dave Grohl complained to the group, “You recognize who by no means will get a fuckin’ solo? Me, goddammit, I by no means get a fuckin’ solo! So, since that is the final fuckin’ night time of [our run of spring US dates], I’m gonna do a fuckin’ solo. How about that? … Chances are you’ll suppose, ‘That man can’t play a fuckin’ solo.’ You wanna see me do a guitar solo proper now?”

Grohl then appeared to play the traditional Van Halen instrumental tune “Eruption” like a champ, however issues received bizarre when the tune stored going after the Foo Fighters chief raised each arms within the air. It was at that time, the large screens revealed that it was truly Wolfgang taking part in on the sidelines.
“Dude, I instructed you to maintain that cool, Wolfie! What the fuck you doin’ proper now?” exclaimed Grohl, earlier than including, “Everyone, give it up for Wolfgang Van Halen.”
Wolfgang, who had carried out a set along with his band Mammoth WVH earlier within the day, then proceeded to play the guitar solo from Van Halen’s “Scorching for Trainer,” with Grohl insisting, “That half was not deliberate.”
Then, because the Foos began to play “My Hero,” Grohl instructed the group, “Since Wolfie fuckin’ took all that point to drag off that joke with us, I’m gonna dedicate this one to him. Let’s sing this one for him, and let’s sing this one for his fuckin’ dad [the late Eddie Van Halen], too.”
