Administrators sam_webmaster Posted September 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2015 by Brett Buchanan - Sep 6, 2015 Foo Fighters were joined by Queen drummer Roger Taylor and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones for an epic performance of “Under Pressure” at the Milton Keynes National Bowl last night, with the musicians forming a ‘super-duper-group.’ Jones played keys, and Taylor drummed, while Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins sang vocals.Grohl said, “Now look, I don’t know if ya’ll ever seen a supergroup, this is a super-duper-group. I don’t even know what to say, because this kind of shit does not happen every day. Let me just tell you that the Foo Fighters right now are living out our rock and roll fantasy with you tonight, wouldn’t you say?Taylor Hawkins agreed, “Fuckin’ aye.” Hawkins then told Roger Taylor to “go for it, you’re in charge.”Dave Grohl said that Queen were the first band to perform at Milton Keynes, so it was fitting that Taylor was joining them. The performance also was a semi-Them Crooked Vultures reunion for Grohl and John Paul Jones.http://www.alternativenation.net/foo-fighters-joined-by-led-zeppelin-queen-members-for-under-pressure-performance/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixpense Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Look! It's Moses on the drums! :-) A superb drummer.I believe outside of Plant playing @ the Freddie Tribute concert, this is the only Zeppelin-Queen team up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambeau Leap Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hope this sparks some Them Crooked Vultures activity, what an amazing band that was to see live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Fantastic off-the-cuff performance of "Under Pressure", one of my favourite Queen songs.More proof that Dave Grohl is indefatigable and seemingly everywhere and with everyone. Just as long as John Paul Jones doesn't ask Dave to sing on his opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaike Roeleveld Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Always liked Queen and Under Pressure is a great song. This performance was really good! Saw the video appear on FaceBook.I also have been looking into some Them Crooked Voltures stuff lately, on Spotify. Hope they get together again one day, I'm beginning to really like them.

Patrycja Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Definitely always nice to see him out and about playing! Just wondering why you changed 'Jonesy' in my original post to 'jonsey' when quoting me in response? Yes that was one of the best line-ups ever.https://www.youtube.com/embed/lsfeFkocjMQBtw. how can I post youtube videos in this new forum? It doesn't seem to be working for me either. See Sam's post here and hopefully that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just genuinely curious how it happened. Thanks for clearing it up We've had a bit more news about Jonesy of late. Hopefully it bodes well for some new music or shows soon!

The Only Way To Fly Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 It seems like this tour for T FF has been a hell of a lot of fun. Great to see Dave & Co & JPJ & RT enjoying themselves so much on this. I'm sure if anyone was lucky enough to see them this tour; they're most likely saying best show of the summer!

Dallas Knebs Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Deborah J how can you not mention how sharp Mr. Taylor looks in his winter beard... super group for sure. Made it look effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverseas Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Blah Blagh . . Meh . Love Queen and Zeppelin and could care less about "The Pillow Biters." If Kurt never formed Nirvana, buck-toothed Dave Grohol would be a lounge act. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
