      Looks like he's using Dave Grohl's monitors and microphone. The drums are probably loud as is Dave screaming at you, but the other instruments are probably pretty low in the monitors. The front row is more likely to go deaf!

      My favorite all time "Dave face" is when Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined the Foos onstage at the O2 arena in London to cover RnR and Ramble On. At one point during Ramble On Page does this high to low slide about 15 frets up the neck and Dave just freezes for a second watching, soaking it in... A definite "I'm onstage with FN Page" moment in time.
