Most of these tech guys are incredible/experienced musicians. Think about it, if this guy is trusted with setting up guitars for a Hall of Fame band, he’s more than likely gonna be able to play.
That's not always true. A trainer for a football team must know how to train the team and how the game works but not be a professional football player. The fact is these guys knows about the hardware and about how the musicians wants to sound but that doesn't mean that they are great musicians. (Obviously not the case of this vid, he did it pretty well)
@@LuxBacelo you have to have a certain level of musicianship to be a guitar tech guy, obv they aren’t all incredibly good, but they have be a certain level
Once again Dave is the star he is so happy to allow somebody else have some joy. We have all had asshole bosses in many jobs... can you imagine how you would put your heart into your job if you had a boss like Dave Grohl (yes I know the tech's boss is really Pat, but Dave is the captain of the ship)
@@TBP-st3bn The real deal? lol... he can play guitar about as good as dozens of regular guys in garage bands everywhere. He does not sing. He does not write. But everybody just thinks he is COOL. okay... I will not argue with that. But the Foo's would move on without Pat and nobody would notice.
@@jamesbarrick3403 then why did Dave take him back? Sympathy? Why so negative, James? Are you jealous? What have you done in the music industry? I bet I’ve done more than you. Shut up.
@@jamesbarrick3403 I agree with you, Pat is cool and you are right, the Foo's would carry on without Pat no bother. I was gonna jump in on the conversation and be an allie but I think I'll sit back and see how this one plays out haha
That is so cool! Several bands/artists will get people from the crowd on stage. Some are genuine some others... But the "techs" are often forgotten and here they didn't. And it was pure 100% genuine. You could see that from Pat Smears' big smile on his face and then the massive hug at the end... Kudos to Foo Fighters once again and RIP Taylor.. you're already missed a lot and you were/are my favorite musician among all of them.
This is yet another example of why Dave Grohl is the nicest guy in Rock & Roll. Norm from Norm’s Rare Guitars said that Dave came into the shop one day and saw an employee vacuuming. Dave apparently told the guy, “Hey, man, lemme do that!” And Dave starting vacuuming the shop! Wth?!? Who does that? And we’ve all seen the drum-off with Nandi Bushell, the young girl from England. I think he’s at a place in life where he knows what’s important in life and what’s bullsh!t. Most of the things we stress out about are BS. RIP Taylor.
They were in party mode, having a great time, then he decided to play a tune with a tech on his last day. It broke the vibe a little as Dave is obviously sad about it.
I like the big energy singing it's kinda gone to the more professional good singing today maybe Anthony needs to remember to get loose on it a bit more even though he and the chillys have grown into the machine that keeps on giving it used to be weird rap music to me once
It's a gig where you come into very close contact with hundreds of people every day, in pools from populations all over. Basic precautions are sensible.
Why are you so triggered by him exercising his right of bodily autonomy and choosing to not share the air with ten thousand different mouth breathers every night?
Pat is a monster on guitar. Indeed he never claimed to be much of a technical player or cares about being one but he can rip out some bad ass licks. Punk was never about being technically skilled, it's about the attitude. Pat already was a legend in the LA punkscene before Nirvana was even a band so kudos to him for still keeping it punk 30something years later.
Keep wearing that mask. The Foo’s lost many fans when they started requiring the jab to go see them. Now that Taylor is gone they might as well pack up and call it quits.

A lot of talent sits in the dark at concerts.
Lemmy from Motorhead was Jimmy Hendrix Guitar tech
Dude is probably a better guitarist than smear but smear just fits the look and adds punk cred. He's really pretty boring
Best comment I've read on RUclips ...probably ever.
@Zach H. whats his role again?
@Zach H. - Well put.
:-)
All of the Foos, official and unofficial, are absolute legends.
Rest in peace Taylor. We miss you.

Pat is a really great dude too
Pat Smear is the real deal. From the Germs on down. I would kill to be in this band.

I was here! It was a great show and they played for 3 hours straight!!
Hey that’s the dude from nirvana!
@@prith7900 gotta be more specific
They are like a family, all band and crew, cant imagine how they are dealing with Taylors loss
You are right about that . So much talent in those shadows.

So so cool for Paddy!!
Dammit this band and Dave Grohl. Legends.
That was such an amayzing show!!
talk about a rockstar in disguise
Was what he played difficult in any way?
@@mikecantreed you really had to be that guy, huh?
pat scratch fever
Dave is a true Leader!!!
Pat is the GOAT.
1:07 Awww so cuuute
There is a Super Group just waiting behind the wings, if you pulled band techs together.
There have already been hundreds of them. Most of your favorite musicians started out as techs/roadies.
What happened at the end lol “ you fucked it all up” * sad tone*
I think he said "I fucked it all up". Not shure why. Maybe it was a joke about Dave speaking too much at the moment that was emotional.
Before that, he said "I was having fun until just now," when he had mentioned Patrick the Tech's departure from the tour. "Now I've fucked it all up."
They were in party mode, having a great time, then he decided to play a tune with a tech on his last day. It broke the vibe a little as Dave is obviously sad about it.
He has his day (night)
WAIT PATS GOT A BOTTLE OF BUCKY
I'm a Pat fan
Why the bass player playin da wrong notes
I went to the L.A. Forum show from this same tour and it's weird to think that it would be the last time I see Taylor Hawkins in-person :(
Is that a bottle of Buckfast?
Is Pat drinking Buckfast?
Dave overplays the nice guy
That’s my dad
Really?
Bit of Cat scratch fever. Get that up ya Obama. Lol
a little homage to uncle ted
Awesome.
Dave is THE best !!!
And now.
And we are in this place......😢
Love it
Dave Grohl a hero
The Buckie made him do it

Tenacious D sings about these guys.

He must be contagious or something?

Can this guy raise my kids?
Lol he’s my dad
🤘
Those have to know how to play, and make it sound right. Drums, too.
So jealous 🤣😅
Face diapers are so Rock and Roll nowadays....as are vaccinations. FFS.
Not anymore he isn't. So sad.
when did he got bald lol
That's his tech not Smear
This is not Pat Smear lol Pat is the one in the back smiling 😂
It's Pat's guitar technician playing
@@gavinh1049 Man, I thought “tech” meant technique instead of technician and I was confused 😂
how come only the little people have to wear masks lol
how do you know he didn´t wear it because he wanted to?
@@Gollas4k Only ugly people want to!
A mask lol How idiotic
Why is the tech wearing a mask?
because he wants to i guess
Because there’s a pandemic going around.
@@j1b00m7 it’s more likely protocol for the minions
@@brettstokes4038 a pandemic of government restrictions.
@@alanross2876 thiz iz the correct answer. Minionz are not main characterz
Wears a mask. Hugs people. Okay.
Sees music. Decides to kvetch about masks. Okay.

Why is he wearing a Jockstrap on his face?
Why are you triggered?
The lowly guitar tech servant has to wear a muzzle.🤦
Why are you so triggered by him exercising his right of bodily autonomy and choosing to not share the air with ten thousand different mouth breathers every night?
Why does Pat smear need a tech. ? To be honest , he sucks , and really doesn’t play much on stage , and when he does ITS WAY DOWN IN THE MIX .
Better guitarist than Pat .... not that it's very hard to be .
Hey hey The germs, Nirvana and Foo You know fucking nothing
Don't disrespect My boy Pat
His duties; plug in, tune up and listen to him play along to Chris parts. Waste of space
Imagine trash talking Pat Smears abilities when hes never even pretended to be any sort of technical or good.
Pat is a monster on guitar. Indeed he never claimed to be much of a technical player or cares about being one but he can rip out some bad ass licks.

Keep wearing that mask. The Foo’s lost many fans when they started requiring the jab to go see them. Now that Taylor is gone they might as well pack up and call it quits.
If you stopped being a fan over that then you were never listening to what they were saying.
Bye Felicia.
Be nice if he took that stupid mask off
Be nice if you'd stop thinking everyone else should only wear what you deem fit.
