Hey guys welcome back again to Ken
Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is in the singing. I didn’t get any requests for this one though I have had requests for a Dave
Grohl and Foo Fighters before but I decided to go ahead and do this one here
it’s Foo Fighters the song’s “Monkey Wrench” and it’s called “Kiss Guy” and yes I have
seen this video before it was a while ago you probably have too but I thought it’d
be fun to react to it cause it’s just it was great. I only saw it once and it’s
been a while so it’d be kinda like watching a movie you know many years later. I
don’t know how much of it I’ll remember but let’s just dive right into it and
you know what gosh in Dave Grohl’s defense not that he needs one, you gotta love
Dave Grohl. Everybody should love Dave Grohl he’s the real deal. He’s funny, he
never takes himself too seriously, he’s always doing something creative, he’s
always giving back somewhere. I mean he’s barbecuing for firefighters in the
middle of the fires in California. I mean the guys always doing something cool and
so and so he’s always doing something really unexpected and contrasty and
you know whatever and in fact even the name Foo Fighters itself when they said
hey how’d you come up with the name he says I don’t know it’s kind of a stupid name he says
I think I would have come up with a better name if I thought the band would
have lasted. You know it’s like it’s just so down to earth and real. So with that said
Dave Grohl Foo Fighters and it is the Kiss Guy song’s called “Monkey Wrench”
let’s rock. It doesn’t get any better. Look guys come on really think
about this right. If this was real and I think it was cause I don’t know I
mean maybe it’s just you know a a plant or something in the audience but I mean
that is as funny as funny gags and so Kiss Guy comes up holds up his sign in the audience. How many times you guys you entertainers you singers out there thinking man if I
was only up on that stage I could do it better right. You want to have your shot
and Dave Grohl is the kind of guy that will give you your shot so and he’s not
so insecure that you know he’s not willing to do that so with that said
let’s let’s continue to rock. Here we go. By the way my cheeks hurt from smiling
so much already and I have even I’m like you know got 38 seconds into this thing. This is awesome. Oh man like I said how many bands would just stop and just you know and that’s
true entertainment, that’s when you’re so confident with your with your craft that
you could just have fun with it. That’s what I’ve talked to you guys about about
knowing your craft so well, knowing your song so well knowing your singing and
guitar playing or whatever instrument you play so well, that you can just
entertain and have fun with it and your audience is just engaged and here we are
seeing entertainment at its finest in my opinion. He’s calling up the Kiss Guy so
let’s let’s continue to see what happens here. Look at him he’s panting you know you can
tell he’s nervous man. He’s up there so it looks pretty doggone legit to me
someone correct me if I’m wrong please give me some notes here in in the
answers and YouTube but let’s check this out. Why this is so awesome to me okay you
guitar players will really relate to this right. I kid you not. I kid you not. I drug
around my own pick all my life for that moment. Maybe not the moment with you know Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters but so that I was
prepared because I used Jim Dunlop jazz threes and they’re really hard to find,
they’re really small and they’re thick and you know it’s the pick that I like and
without that pick your you know you’re got four thumbs on your right hand right.
So you know I would carry my pick out to give me any opportunity to play man. Boom
I was there. Well that’s one thing okay that’s the first observation. The
second observation is Dave Grohl likes to play his guitar pretty stinkin low and
this kids pretty short compared to Dave. Look at him right. I think we’re at
what a minute 48 seconds. I need glasses these days but yeah so anyway so
he’s short so that strap is down to his knees okay.
So let’s let’s add that into the equation of how awkward this situation
is for him to just walk up. Even if it is a plant which I don’t think it is but
you know whatever. So he’s walking up into a situation just boom and he’s
gonna be expected to perform right. So with that said let’s continue to check
it out. He’s already a rockstar. He’s getting the audience going man and Dave just walks off the stage. That’s great. He’s running around. You know it’s kind of funny um you know I I
haven’t seen a lot of Foo Fighters shows so beat with me but Dave actually looks
a little awkward standing there with only a microphone and not a guitar in
his hand. So if anything Dave is in kind of a little bit of an awkward situation
because he doesn’t really think of himself as some great singer. He’s a
singer guitar player entertainer. So look at him he’s a little kind a awkward. He’s kinda looking back. I’m gonna back this up a little bit. I want you to see this at like 2:20 or
whatever or I’m gonna back it 2:17. I’ll back it up there so when this kid runs across the
stage watch Dave, he’s kind of out of his element right. Check it out. See what I mean he’s you know kind of pointing
to him over and over again. You know he’s like kind of deferring himself. So he seems
pretty awkward without his guitar and I’ve never really seen that part of him
before but anyway. Just another observation. Kid’s great man. Admit it this for us entertainers out
there this is our dream, this is what we sit in the audience and go I wanna do that or I could do that better. How many guitar players does it take to
turn it.. to screw in a lightbulb. One to do it and ninety nine to cross
their arms and go I could do that better but how many singers does it take to
screw in a light bulb just one because the whole world
revolves around them. Probably heard those jokes before alright they’re old
but anyway but we all look at this thing and we’re out there going oh my gosh this is
like, this is our dream come true and it’s got to be his dream come true.
That’s for sure and he’s killing it man. He’s ready, he’s ready so he can take the slot. So all you guys out there doing you know singing
show or trying out for a band or whatever, this kid showed up with the
goods and he’s got.. he’s getting what he deserves man, he’s getting the spotlight. See I told you cause he’s out of his element he’s like wah he wasn’t expecting that. He looks so comfortable man. One more thing it’s pretty doggone risky
of Dave to have someone come up. Like I’d invited people to come up and sing
before it’s like ohhh you know please step away from the microphone and then I’ve
had other people that were pretty decent but you know I’ve invited people to dance
with me on stage as whatnot and you know you never know who this guy is. It could
be a serial killer. I mean who knows you know right. Just free.. you know up there
to start bashing stuff around, break my guitar or whatever but so Dave’s taking a
pretty big chance of doing this. So I think that’s that’s Dave man. That is
Dave Grohl. He is a chance taker and he wins a lot because of it. You see how uncomfortable Dave is though,
he’s kind of gawky walking around. He’s like out of his element. He’s not.. doesn’t
have his guitar around and that’s a security blanket for all of us you know
that are guitar player singers. It’s it’s you know it’s our prop, it’s what we use
to do stuff with and without it we’re a little naked you know a little uncomfortable. It’s a nice tone man. You know it’s kind of interesting I’ve heard Dave play a lot and somehow I don’t know he might have backed off the tone tone
controls or whatever maybe just the rig just sounds cool but that’s kind of a
real, sexy, warm tone for Dave. Dave’s really kind of gotta really in your face
gravelly sort of pointed metal, metallic kind of sound and this is kind of some
warm sexy Carlosy kind of sound you know. That was fun. Your face is falling off. It’s melting. Yeah I want to add one more thing to this um
you know for again you bandmember guys out there. It’s pretty hard to walk into
a band situation and lock with the guys. You know you usually have to play with them
a little bit and kind of get to know their personality. This guy rushes, this
guy plays behind the beat, this is how the drummer plays bla bla bla. So it’s
pretty hard to be tight to walk into a situation like that. So the one thing
that makes me wonder a little bit is he’s so tight with the band. Did he rehearse
that I don’t know because that does make me question it a bit again you guys
put it in the you know in the description not the description but
anyway make some comments and let me know because I don’t know. I should have
looked this up but I didn’t. If this was pre pre rehearsed because he’s awfully
doggone tight and he knows a lot of the cues as he’s going around. Yeah he knows
the song really well but there’s a lot of cues taking place, lot of cues and stuff
and he’s getting direction from Dave that’s true and even still it was just
super fun to watch but like I said that makes me question a little bit because I
know how hard it is to be tight with a band just boom walk in and and and the
other thing is to you know you can’t hear yourself. I mean does Dave have his
sound on the stage on both sides, is it on one side, how was he able to hear
himself so well and so on so. There are some questions to this but it’s still
really cool. Alright that was awesome. Two thumbs up
for Dave Grohl man. He does it again and he’s invited like Rick Astley like
crazy people that we least expect come on on his stage and it’s just been
a lot of fun. His show is one big party that’s for sure. Hey guys if you like
