    Foo Fighters Joined By Unknown Man In Grammy Acceptance

    -- The Foo Fighters won the best hard rock performance Grammy, but the most interesting part of the honor came just after their name was called. While singer-guitarist Dave Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins were at the podium making their acceptance speech, a large, unidentified man was standing behind them cracking his knuckles and waving to the audience.

    As Grohl appeared to end his thank you speech, the man leaned into the microphone to comment.

    "And rock would not be anything without B.B. King," the unknown man said. "Rock would be nothing without him. Thank you." Grohl responded, "I was gonna, I was gonna say that."

    Backstage after the incident, Grohl and Hawkins were still perplexed about the interruption. "He just wanted to go to the bathroom, because after that whole schlemiel he stepped out in the backstage and said, 'I gotta take a piss.' That was it. I don't know," Grohl said about the unidentified man. Hawkins added, "Does anybody know who that dude was? No. I have no idea...Yeah, he's our DJ. He's our MC."

    :D

    I don't know... you tell me

    Here is a picture of the Foo. Based on the pictures at the beginning of the thread, you tell me which one doesn't belong...

    i just figured that guy was an executive or an agent or something...someone who was close to the band...that's pretty funny, though! i hope to be able to pull of that kind of worthless feat some day.

    Here's a Foo Fighter in 1989. From the Grammy photos above, I think it's the guy on the far right. His name is supposedly Chris Shiflett. Here he is in his former band Lost Kittenz! Seriously! Krisz (probably how he spelled his name then, I'm guessing) is the guy second from the left below:

    Maybe they should call themselves Faster Fooeycat now!

    It's especially funny since Grohl likes to rip on 80s bands. Twerp.

    Thanks to Metal Sludge for the pic.
