People who went to the Conejo Valley Days in Thousand Oaks, CA on Saturday to see Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins and his side project, Chevy Metal, received a special surprise.
Chevy Metal was joined by Dave Grohl and Chris Shiflett for what turned into a nineteen song Foo Fighters covers set. Before the evening was over, they were treated to four Van Halen songs, three from the Rolling Stones and a smattering from artists ranging from Billy Joel to the Vapors.
Grohl put everything in perspective during the set by saying “I’m just a rhythm guitar player in this band, but Taylor makes me sing once in a while.”
