My mind was blown. Melted. Changed forever. And my heart felt like it might explode with passion and inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cFrom that night on, the bar was set exceptionally high. If you were a drummer and you didn\u2019t have to change your snare drum between songs from pummeling it to splinters, you weren\u2019t hitting it hard enough\u2026 If you were a frontman in a band and you weren\u2019t drenched in sweat by the end of the show, you weren\u2019t giving the audience what they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DcQup32Ja14\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad2 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">Advertisement<\/span>  <\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-article-2\" class=\"lazy-ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The inspiration he felt from the show, he added, made him \u201capproach my life in music from a different perspective\u201d and is the reason why you\u2019ll see him \u201crun from side to side of a stage drenched in sweat after hours of hammering my guitar to pieces\u201d when he plays live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I have ever wanted was to someday live up to the awe inspiring fury of AC\/DC, live on stage (an impossible task, by the way),\u201d he wrapped up. \u201cAnd now, for the first time since that fateful night in 1980, my band Foo Fighters will share a stage with the gentlemen who are single handedly responsible for my determination to give every audience everything I have, every night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is literally a dream come true.

That show raised funds to help support vaccination efforts against COVID-19, and saw Johnson join the band for a live rendition of \u2018Back In Black\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Foo Fighters\u2019 own North American headline shows see them joined by Queens Of The Stone Age, and shows continue in Los Angeles on Saturday (August 22), followed by a festival slot at Rock In Rio on September 4.<\/p>\n<p>After they support AC\/DC, they will continue their \u2018Take Cover\u2019 tour in North Dakota, California, Kentucky, Nevada and more throughout September and October, before kicking off an Australian leg of tour dates at the end of the year. Visit here for tickets.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The dates follow on from their recent European run that included two nights at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool. <em>NME<\/em> was at one of those gigs and gave the band a glowing four-star review which read: \u201cThe laid-back rock club vibe is what makes this work. Foos don\u2019t have the bells, whistles, pyro, or blockbuster special effects of other standard stadium acts, just tunes and banter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for AC\/DC, their \u2018Power Up\u2019 tour continues next weekend with a show in Atlanta on August 27, followed by more dates in Texas, Indiana, New Jersey and more.
