  "account": "On October 2, Foo Fighters took the stage at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, to replace Pretty Reckless for AC/DC's Power Up tour. The Australian rock legends performed their hit \"Highway To Hell,\" and during the set, they brought out Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl. This was the second time Foo Fighters had filled in for Pretty Reckless on the tour, with their earlier appearance being in St. Louis, Missouri on September 8.\n\nGrohl shared that he had seen \"Let There Be Rock\" film when he was just 11 years old, an experience that inspired him to pursue a career in music. During the concert, Grohl spoke passionately about the intense and demanding nature of rock and roll, describing the hard work and dedication required by the likes of AC/DC. He recalled the iconic moments such as Phil Rudd breaking snare drums and Angus Young sucking oxygen on stage, cementing his lifelong dream to perform in that very manner.\n\nHowever, Grohl's collaboration with AC/DC was not the only noteworthy moment of the evening. This performance marked a rare occurrence as AC/DC is rarely seen sharing the stage with anyone else.",
