Hilarious.

Grohl is an interesting guy - he seems to be pretty sentimental, always bringing up legacy acts at his shows.

He was pretty stiff at first but warmed up after a few minutes. No RickRolls, though.

Very true. Dave Grohl is probably one of the best rockers out there right now, both as a person and a musician. He can play every instrument, always loves to work with his fans (like showing up at a random fan's birthday party he saw on twitter), and is a workhorse (4 bands at one time, plays through the show with a broken leg, still playing while the paramedic is setting his cast on stage). The stories about him giving in secret (or at least he tries to be secret) to those in need are very heartwarming (link below says he has given almost a billion dollars to children's charities (cancer related)). That must be almost everything he has made. Hell, I can't find a single negative thing about the guy.

That must've been a surreal moment for that paramedic.
