Dave Grohl awarded world's largest pair of drumsticks

Dave Grohl, one-time drummer for Nirvana and Them Crooked Vultures and current Foo Fighters frontman, has been awarded the world’s largest drumsticks. The city of Warren, Ohio, where Grohl lived for the first few years of his life, unveiled the 900-pound sticks this past weekend, dedicating them to Grohl for both his general kickass-ness and local boosterism. Grohl was previously awarded his very own alley in the suburb of Youngstown.

The sticks were painted with feathers that resemble some of Grohl’s tattoos. Weirdly, they were also painted with the name of one of the project’s big financial backers, local band Larry Long Jr. And The Backsliders.
