In case you were still wondering who the nicest man in rock is, Dave Grohl has reminded everyone that his claim is probably still the strongest. He is about to fulfil a promise made back in May to a pair of Australian miners who were trapped in a Tasmanian mine. Todd Russell and Brant Webb requested Foo Fighters music on iPods to drown out the sound of the drills of their eventual rescuers. On hearing this news Grohl sent a message to the pair down in the hole promising them "two tickets to any Foos show, anywhere, and two cold beers" once they were out. And with Grohl about to play at Sydney Opera House he has invited the miners along, for what he promises to be a great night; "I'm not having just one beer with those dudes. We're going for it. This is going to be a big night."
