Foo Fighters Briefly Cover Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" at Bonnaroo: Watch

Foo Fighters closed out Bonaroo 2023 with an epic 19 song set (at this point what FF set isn't epic though).  But in addition to a Taylor Hawkins tribute and a guest appearance by Paramore's Hayley Williams - the band found time to squeeze in a short cover of the Beastie Boys classic - Sabotage.  

 

“Fuck, let’s do it — go, Nate, go,” Dave Grohl cued bassist Nate Mendel to kick off the song’s opening riff with Grohl doing his best Ad-Rock impersonation.

 

He only made it a few lines before pulling the plug, saying “I can’t fucking rap and I don’t know the song, though I love it ... Next year, we’ll come back to Bonnaroo, we’ll play at the fucking ‘Wha-What Stage’ and we’ll do a whole Beastie Boys set, how about that?”  

 

Talk about what we want :P
