Led Zeppelin Performed With Foo Fighters
Members of Led Zeppelin collaborated with Foo Fighters at this weekend's Wembley Stadium show - after rumours were circulating the internet at the end of last week.
Last night's event (June 7th) saw Led Zep's Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joining the band for the encore at their second show at the huge venue.
The collective performed versions of two Led Zeppelin songs - 'Rock'n'Roll' and 'Ramble On'. During 'Rock'n'Roll', Dave Grohl took to the drums to allow Taylor Hawkins to sing - then during 'Ramble On', the two switched roles.
After Led Zeppelin reformed for a one-off show at London's O2 Arena last year, Dave Grohl claimed he would love to drum live with the band if they decided to tour again.

Just wanted to write a quick note to clear up this whole "Open letter to Metallica" fiasco......For the record, I never "wrote" anything to Metallica. I was asked by a journalist, at the end of a long interview (abut the Foo Fighters) to give a quick message to Metallica in the studio. So, I rattled that quote off the top of my head. No biggie, right? Somehow it became my "open letter" to the band, and now it's been picked up by everyone from Blabbermouth to Rolling Stone (as if anyone really cares!). Now, it's true that I've been a loyal fan of this band for 25 years, and I can't wait to hear the new shit, but an "open letter" to the band?!!?? Nah. Not my style. I'd rather just text 'em......
OK.......just needed to get that off my chest. Hope you guys are good. Thanks for coming out to the shows, they've been a blast. Only a few more before we crawl back into our cave and hibernate. It's gonna be a loooooong winter.......
Dave
