Here we go again with a new MMM recipe, and this time we are back talking about Foo Fighters and an amazing event organized in Cesena, Italy called Rockin’ 1000. The creator of the idea is Fabio Zaffagnini, who had an awesome spark of insanity bringing together 1000 rockers who love Foo Fighters and let them play “Learn to Fly” all in the same place.
The project started on May 2014 and they were finally able to play all together and publish an incredible video on July 30th, 2015; as Fabio would say “I’ve been working on this fu**ing project for more than one year…” But it seems like it worked, since they got an immediate answer from Dave Grohl himself.
The video is freaking unbelievable and absurd. While watching it my face was trembling from how excited as I got. And thinking that all they did was intended to unite people through the power of music and being able to do something incredible from scratch.
In a few days, the initiative went viral and the video got 23 millions views. The purpose of this initiative was to convince the band to play again in Cesena, after many years of absence and of course, Dave Grohl was very nice to please the crowd posting a video in which, speaking in Italian, he said that Foo Fighters would be very happy to play in Cesena very soon.
On August 16th, the rocking’ 1000 team got very lucky as they got the opportunity to meet the band in person at the Walla Walla Festival in USA. Many compliments to Mr. Zaffagnini for the dedication put into this huge initiative.
Without further ado, please take a look at this passionate and inspiring video.
