Culture Buzz Fellow (now former?) SNL'ers Jason Sudeikis and Andy Samburg sang backup. Amy Poehler and Will Forte also took their turn as rockstars.
Music Buzz Well, kind of. It's more like a well produced skit with about a minute and a half of actual music. Val Kilmer, Josh Groban, and Dave Grohl guest star.
Dave Grohl is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Dave Grohl.
At last Sunday's Grammy Awards, Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl used his acceptance speech to sing the praises of analog recording. Though many (including BuzzFeed) praised the speech (and lamented that Grohl was cut off by LMFAO's “Party Rock Anthem”), a large sector of the Internet was pissed. So he wrote them a letter.

Are you ready to rock?! During a concert in Auckland, New Zealand 50,000 Foo Fighter fans and their enthusiasm was picked up as geological tremors by local seismic stations.
To celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of the release of Nevermind (which will make certain of us feel older than God), SPIN Magazine put together a Nirvana tribute album called Newermind. And it's free. All you have to do is friend SPIN on Facebook. Among the notables: Meat Puppets cover “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” The Vaselines do “Lithium” and Titus Andronicus provide a rendition of “Breed.”
From a 15-year-old Dave Grohl to the band Aerobic Death. I hope they said yes - John Denver's Nightmare is an awesome name for a mix tape. (From Letters of Note, via @thoughtbrain)
Really want to go back to 7th grade right now… [Ed. Note: This totally looks like something I would have drawn on the inside cover of my Lisa Frank trapper keeper.]
Music Buzz The long-rumored, totally epic supergroup comprised of Dave Grohl, Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, and Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age is finally a reality. Them Crooked Vultures will play their first show at Chicago's Metro on Sunday. An album (“Never Deserved the Future”) and a full tour from the motor-rock super group are in the works.
