Foo Fighters Literally Shake the Earth with Performance

These days with so many bands that have become commercialized and molded by record labels into perfect little puppets, it's extremely rare to have a moment in time that makes us stop and think, "Now THAT, is fucking rock n' roll!" Now I'm talking 1950's Gibson "Moderne" rare; so rare that supposedly only one prototype was ever made. But two days ago the almighty Foo Fighters gave us one of those rare moments that is definitely fucking rock n' roll.

During a show in Auckland, New Zealand on December 13th, the Foo and 50,000 crazed fans made so much commotion and noise that they literally created tremors similar in size to a volcanic event. According to two seismic stations outside the Western Springs stadium, where the performance took place, 1.5 and 2 kilometers from the stadium, strong low frequency tremors were detected during the time of the show. Upon further inspection, the tremors highs and lows correlated exactly with the highs and lows of the show and were in comparison to that of volcanic activity. 

All this information coming from New Zealand's GeoNet Blog, which recorded the geological tremors from the show. 

“The first vibrations were recorded around 7:30pm, part way through the Tenacious D set, but the biggest shakes started at 8:20pm when the Foo Fighters took the stage, and then it all went quiet at 11pm when the gig ended,” Geonet states.

“The concert vibrations were recorded as a semi continuous harmonic signal with a peak osculation of 3Hz, i.e. the ground was shaking 3 times per second in a nice rhythmic motion. There are lulls in the signal between the songs and peaks in signal intensity during the songs.”

Need we say more. The Foo Fighters, a.k.a. "the hardest working band in the business," are definitely rock n' fuckin' roll.
