Watch Dave Grohl’s Drum Battle With Animal on ‘The Muppets’

“I’ve been waiting years for this, Animal”, growls Grohl. Dave Grohl sat in with Miss Piggy’s house band, the Electric Mayhem, on Up Late with Miss Piggy, but the real action came post-show, as the Foo Fighter stuck around to face off against his long-time nemesis, Animal. Ba-dum, tish. Animal and Animal-incarnate Dave Grohl’s long-standing stoush kicked on last night after Nirvana’s stickman – the usurper! “Time for school”, savors Grohl before stating his case at a very loud volume.

A flurry of flailing limbs and flying hair ensues, culminating in both drummers’ kits being knocked to the ground piece-by-piece in the heat of competition.

Who is the victor in this battle?

It should be noted that this isn’t Grohl’s first time crossing paths with the Muppets.

If you watch one video today, make it Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl in an epic drum battle with Animal from The Muppets.

Though The Muppets episode won’t air tonight until 8PM ET/PT on ABC, the clip that runs over the show’s closing credits has found its way online from a Canadian broadcast. – took to the stool as ‘Animool’ in 2011’s The Muppets film.
