The Foo Fighters ended their concert at the Sprint Center in Kansas City by making the night special for a 10-year-old boy, who showed off his guitar skills after frontman Dave Grohl invited him to join the band onstage.
As recalled by KMBC, Collier Cash Rule, a fifth-grader at Ray Marsh Elementary School in Shawnee, Kansas, got his chance to jam with the Foo Fighters when Grohl noticed him in the crowd while the band was performing an encore. After Grohl asked Rule if he plays guitar, the young boy answered in the affirmative, adding that he “[knows] a lot of Metallica songs.” He then agreed enthusiastically when Grohl handed him a guitar and invited him to play a Metallica cover with the rest of the band.
While the Foo Fighters, with Collier playing the lead guitar parts, only made it to the first chorus of Metallica’s 1991 classic “Enter Sandman,” the fifth-grader still had more to show to the 15,000-strong audience at the Sprint Center. As seen in this YouTube video, Collier played the intros to two more Metallica songs — “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” and “Wherever I May Roam” — after Dave Grohl asked him if he knows more songs from the heavy metal legends’ catalog.
“I know Ed Sheeran’s playing down the street here tonight, but he ain’t got nothing on Collier,” quipped Grohl.
As a final gesture of kindness toward his young guest, Dave Grohl told Collier that he could keep the blue guitar he had lent to him for the Foo Fighters’ impromptu cover of “Enter Sandman.”
‘Lookout world… the next generation of rockers coming soon to an arena near you,’ tweeted Grohl after rocking with Collier Cash Rule in Kansas City. https://t.co/y25hZxSk6f
