Foo Fighters played a surprise gig this week, under the alias of Chevy Metal - in which they covered Queen, Bryan Adams, The Knack, The Rolling Stones and many more. See footage from the gig below.
The band made the surprise appearance at Conejo Valley Days, the relatively humble setting of a county fair in Thousand Oaks, California.
There, they tore into an 18-song set of covers by the likes of The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, and Billy Joel, and loads more. Fingers crosses they bring out more than a few of these across the course of their upcoming UK stadium tour, which kicks off next week.
