KISS Guy Shreds

Current top-ten rock band Foo Fighters often calls audience members up to the stage to strut their stuff. The results are predictable---technique doesn't usually match the amateur's enthusiasm

...until last month in Austin. A fan made up as the young Gene Simmons climbs the stage and absolutely shreds the guitar.

Band leader David Grohl's opening summons:

Hey, KISS Guy! I’m lookin at you!

Did you have a f****** sign thing that you were holding up? Let me see that sign. [“Let me play (1997 hit) Monkey Wrench”]

What instrument do you play? This? [holds out guitar] Do you suck? Don’t f****** say “kind of”, cause I won’t invite you up here.

Yeah, right now, Gene Simmons! Get you’re a** up here, KISS guy!

Don’t get too excited yet. You might s*** the bed in front of your home town, brother.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ve had to sit here staring at this m*****f****** all night long. Come here, KISS Guy.

What’s your name, KISS guy? F*** it, I don’t even want to know.

KISS Guy hits a chord, and the rest is astonishing and funny.

Memorable quotes:

He brought his own f****** pick!
Dude, your face is falling off!

Afterword: You can't scream into the mic (example at 6:15 in video) for over 20 years like David Grohl without training and practice.
