It’s easy to forget that Foo Fighters front-man Dave Grohl is one of the finest drummers in the world. With that, the huge Led Zep fan (he’s got a rather fetching Led Zep tattoo on his arm) has spoken of his desire to play drums for the newly-reformed Led Zeppelin. Grohl explained to NME.COM that he is “at their beck and call”, should they want to get in touch about performing with him.
“Ah, if I got that call, what the fuck do you think I’d be saying?” Grohl said. “I’d say, ‘Hey [Foo Fighters band-mates] Chris and Taylor, let’s take a little break for a few days, I’ll see ya later!’ But I don’t expect that to happen.”

Grohl explained that although getting to play with Led Zeppelin would be unlikely, he would at least be trying to get into the band’s forthcoming gig at London’s O2 Arena on November 26.
He also acknowledged the contribution of Jason Bonham, son of original Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, who would perform with the band at the gig, to the set-up.
“Jason should be the one,” he said. “Everyone knows that. He’s a fucking phenomenal drummer.”
