Watch Dave Grohl Cover Metallica with the Zac Brown Band

0

In the perfect storm of online clickability (every modern performer’s goal, surely!), Dave Grohl got up on stage last night (January 31st) in Atlanta, GA to cover Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” as a special guest with a most unlikely of non-metal headliners: The Zac Brown Band.

While Metallica is a far cry from Zac Brown’s best-known hit, “Chicken Fried,” at this point there’s something equally ‘Murican about “Enter Sandman” as, well, fried chicken — it’s a staple, and every damn person in the land knows it and loves it. The Foo Fighters’ frontman, ever the cheer-leader (and an avid metalhead), did a fine job fronting the outfit and amping up the crowd. Is this the first-known instance of Metallica played with a violin? Almost certainly not, but the novelty must’ve been fun to all those in attendance.

Check out some fan-filmed footage below.
