Dave Grohl Receiving Giant Hometown Honor

07/04/2012
. (Gibson) Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl will receive a pair of 900-pound drumsticks this weekend from his hometown of Warren, Ohio.

The enormous sticks (created from poplar logs) will be unveiled on Saturday, July 7 during a concert at the Warren Amphitheater, according to Rolling Stone.

The drumsticks will stay at the amphitheater until September, and then moved to the town's Dave Grohl Alley – which was dedicated back in 2009. Grohl was born in the town, but moved to Alexandria, Virginia, when the singer/guitarist/drummer was young. more on this story
