AC/DC Brings Out Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl for ‘Highway to Hell’ at MetLife Show

AC/DC welcomed a special guest onstage for the final show of their Power Up Tour.

During their concert Friday (Oct. 2) at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, the iconic Australian rockers brought out Dave Grohl to join them for "Highway to Hell."

"Hey everybody, we got something to tell you. You better listen up close now. A very good friend of ours asked us today if he could come up and join us on the stage for 'Highway for Hell.' And we said, 'Yes Dave, you can.' David Grohl!" AC/DC's Brian Johnson told the roaring audience as he hugged the Foo Fighters frontman.

AC/DC's show at MetLife was originally scheduled for Sept. 25, but a nor'easter storm forced the band to cancel the gig. Days later, the concert was rescheduled for Oct. 2, with Foo Fighters announced as the surprise opening act.

During the Foos' opening set Friday, Grohl told the New Jersey crowd about the important role AC/DC has played in his life and why he was thrilled to open for the band for a second time.

"When I was 11 years old and I went to a midnight movie, and I saw the Let There Be Rock movie in the f—king movie theater, at 11 years old, I didn't know that rock n' roll could be like that. I didn't know that rock n' roll was sweat and blood and f—king tears and every ounce of energy you had," Grohl told the crowd.

He continued, "I saw that movie, I was 11 years old, I said, 'I want to do that for the rest of my f—king life.' So here we are… I'm going to live my childhood dream again, tonight."

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I was at this show. It was postponed from last week by the storm hitting the east coast.

AC/DC tuned in great value for the dollar.

Dave Grohl was a jack wagon.

Indeed, it’s telling to me that AC/DC didn’t think of asking him to sit in; Dave had to invite himself to the party. What a joke.

Grohl can’t talk for more than 20 seconds without cursing, his stage banter is 1970s cliches (“I hear you f*ing guys want to rock…let me hear you f*ing sing), and post-pandemic he wouldn’t let fans attend his shows without proof of being vaxxed.

I did work on my phone during his set.

Grohl publicly supported Kamala Harris in 2024. Hahahahaha.

Well…yes….but…

https://youtu.be/mfCP8xnniZ4 - Brian missed the start of the first verse of Rosie, and then the band went into the pre-chorus prematurely.

https://youtu.be/CvK_BGpEStQ - the beginning to Thunderstruck was not just slow, but Angus clearly had timing problems.

That said, Angus did not stop playing or dancing all night long. He turned in a 15 min solo during Let There Be Rock.

The band is professional.

Grohl is a joke.

When I saw them in Edmonton in August (it DIDN’T rain this time!), there were a few spots where it sounded like a 45 being played at 33, but overall it was very well done. The Pretty Reckless put in a GREAT warmup set.
