Watch Josh Freese Rip a 'Monkey Wrench' Solo at Last Public Gig With Foo Fighters
Josh Freese ripped a wild solo on 'Monkey Wrench' at what would be his last public show with the Foo Fighters in August 2024.
Josh Freese, the Foo Fighters drummer brought in to fill the vacancy left by the late Taylor Hawkins, revealed Friday, May 16, that heâd been let go from the band. Freese spent about two years with the group, much of that on the road as the Foos supported their 2023 album, But Here We Are.
Freeseâs last proper show with the Foo Fighters came at the very end of the bandâs 2024 âEverything or Nothing at All Tour,â which wrapped Aug. 18 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Per usual, the setlist was packed with plenty of hits from throughout the Foo Fightersâ catalog, and there were a few moments where Freese got to show off his chops.Â
His drumming propelled the band through the breakdown of their There Is Nothing Left to Lose track, âBreakout.â But even bigger was the furious drum solo he unleashed at the end of the Foo Fightersâ performance of their 1997 classic, âMonkey Wrench.â
While the Seattle gig was Reeseâs last public concert with the Foo Fighters, he did take the stage with them one more time. Per Setlist.fm, the band played a private party for businessman and Anaheim Ducks owner, Henry Samueli, on Sept. 6 at the House of Blues in Anaheim (the party was referred to as âHenrypaloozaâ).Â
Unsurprisingly, there arenât a ton of videos online from the gig, but one clip finds the Foo Fighters covering a bit of Metallicaâs âEnter Sandman,â while another features a snippet of the bandâs rendition of âBest of You.â
Freese actually would have played one more show with the Foo Fighters later that month at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut, but the band ended up canceling their headlining set. This decision was made not long after Dave Grohl revealed that he had fathered a child outside of his marriage.Â
In announcing his departure, Freese said the Foo Fighters had told him they were going âin a different direction with their drummer.â The drummer said that âNo reason was given, adding: âRegardless, I enjoyed the past two years with them, both on and off stage, and I support whatever they feel is best for the band. In my 40 years of drumming professionally, Iâve never been let go from a band, so while Iâm not angry â just a bit shocked and disappointed.â
A rep for the Foo Fighters declined to comment further.
Though disappointed Jack Ciattarelli got the endorsement, the ex-radio host says he's still seeing a surge in support.
