Foo Fighters Guitarist Chris Shiflett Pays Sly Tribute to Reds Icon Pete Rose During Cincinnati Stadium Show: ‘Cincinnati Invented Hustle’


Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett surprised the audience at the band's show in Cincinnati on Thursday (July 25) with a Pete Rose-themed shirt.

Chris Shiflett, Dave Grohl and Rami Jaffee of Foo Fighters perform in concert during Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival on June 18, 2023 in Manchester, Tennessee. After rocking warm-ups from Wolfgang Van Halen’s WVH and Akron, OH-native Chrissie Hynde’s Pretenders, the veteran band charged out and got right to work with the one-two punch of “All My Life” and “No Son of Mine,” with the latter meandering through digressions into Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” But the moment that likely swelled the hearts of the crossover areas in the rock and roll/ baseball Venn diagram was when lead guitarist Chris Shiflett came out for the encore wearing a red “Cincinnati Invented Hustle” t-shirt that he’d picked up that day to show his support for the city’s disgraced hit king.
