Dave Grohl Pays Tribute to Tenacious D With — What Else? — Impromptu ‘Tribute’ Cover

Dave Grohl seemed to inadvertently strum himself into a cover of Tenacious D's 'Tribute' during a Foo Fighters show this weekend.

Following the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump, Gass made a crack about the incident on stage in Australia, which quickly spun into a full-blown controversy.
