Ever since I saw Dave Grohl drumming in Nirvana, I kept telling my husband that he plays 'like freaking Animal from the Muppets'. And now my words are playing out in front of me :D
@@TheFuckingShitLoL Chasity your as big a dick with comment "Our You Tube" and also read my comment It's art some will like it some won't Exactly why I say Dave Grol is overrated True he is good natured guy but I for one think he is overrated
Not his first time either! He also played "Animool" in the 2011 movie, as the Animal stand-in in a muppet cover band led by Fozzie called "the Moopets"
The level of facial expressions and natural movement is incredible. I’ve got to hand it to Henson studios. They made me think that Dave was actually real.
I'm not really a big Foo Fighters or Nirvana fan, but every video or article I see about Dave Grohl makes me respect him as a person. He seems like a genuinely good hearted and likeable person.
@@alphanerd7221 Seriously I started learning drums when I was 9. Almost 20 years ago. Technically in all aspects I'm a much higher level than Dave Grohl.
So true. Second is Grohl... The younger generation sees Dave as an idol. We must cherish him. He came as he was. He smells like teen spirit. What if he says he's not like the others? What if he waited here for you? Everlong...
or Joey Jordison or the late James 'The Rev' Sullivan or Tommy Lee I'm sure theres a few more overrated drummers that people worship i'm forgetting The Rev was not overrated though....
How is it that this is 7 years old, and I never knew it existed until like 10 minutes ago? Just when I thought it wasn't possible to like Dave Grohl even more, I find this. Animal will always be my favorite Muppet.
1st time seeing this Jan 7th 2025. at 57 i have fond memories of watching the Muppet show when it was live to air and long before video recorders were in Australian homes. RIP Dad, Animal was his absolute favorite Muppet.
The Muppets musicians are without question the guys that inspired me to learn to play guitar and drums. I was never very interested in TV growing up, but them, I waited for all week.
Dave has so much talent.. not only he is a GREAT musician, but he is also a very nice person. Besides his success and fame he didn't lose his sense of humor, and seems to enjoy every little aspect of life, bringing joy to his audience, and happiness through the FF videos and concerts. Thanks Dave!

Happy 78th birthday Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal and Sam the Eagle. Frank Richard Oznowicz May 25, 1944 Herefordshire, England. When Jim died in '90, you could have stopped doing any Muppets projects. Thankfully, you kept The Muppets Alive.
I've waited years to see this done. So many similarities between the two. I love them both the same. Dave may have to lift his game a little but hey, there's time.
This threw me back to when the Muppets were doing some Classical Music joke on the band playing a "Minuet" and Animal is barely hanging on... All devolves into pretty much this set here😂 must be such fun for musicians they have playing the Muppets. Thanks for upload. 😀
This is always why I will love Dave Grohl. The guy was in my fave nineties grunge band an I adore Foo Fighters. Also, he's so down to earth for a rockstar, especially when he let his daughter Harper drum on stage with him once
Reminds me of when Animal and Harry Belafonte had their drumming competition on the original Muppet Show, and it turned into a duet that left them both exhausted.
I smile when I hear Animal play drums, I just love it. His character is based on Led Zepplin’s late drummer John Bonham (RIP) & he sure plays the part well. His style is pure Bonham, I love it! John knew the character first glance & he got a kick out of it. Why not, we would!
Can you imagine if Hendrix lived about a decade more? Maybe he'd jam with the Electric Mayhem...guitar battle with Janice, or even Floyd Pepper. That. Would have been a _great_ episode of "The Muppet Show".
I mean, those other things have their place , but that place is definitely not this video. Not everything has to result in a debate. Sometimes we can just all agree to have fun.
Lol, the dude that's been playing drums in my last 3 working bands, we started playing together in 1996. He's always kept a stuffed "Animal" on top of his bass drum, and with it he gets all the ladies attention.
In one end we have one of the greatest drummers of all time who has created such an incredible legacy for himself, toured worldwide with such an awesome band. In the other end we have that guy from Nirvana
Animal has really been keeping up with the latest technology... He's the first drummer I've ever seen using Bluetooth kick pedals...Dave's still kicking it old school🤣👍🇦🇺

"What's that? A bell? Time for school." Animal's eyes widening at that line really sell it for me. The muppets have always had amazing comedic timing.

I love how Grohl genuinely loves the Muppets. He's in just about everything they do these days and it's great!!
Dave Grohl is just an amazing person altogether and almost as good on Drums as Animal
didn't he also allow Smells Like Teen Spirit to be covered by them for one of their movies?
Ever see the Way-back of where Harry Belafonte battled Animal? I’m only 43, but the drum bit and “Banana Boat song” still makes me laugh
“Turn the World around “ was epic
Even at Mr. Henson’s ceremony.
I’m a muppet
Best drummer there ever was...
And Dave Grohl is pretty okay, too.
He'll eat your soul
I second that
Totally
