Back in 2015, more than 1,000 musicians in Cesena, Italy, performed Foo Fighters' "Learn to Fly" in an effort to get the band to play a concert in their hometown.
The stunt worked—the Foos played in Cesena on November 3 of that year, opening their set with, of course, “Learn to Fly.”
But the gathering also inspired another group called Rock-N-Mob, which has since staged mass flash mobs in Russia covering songs by Linkin Park, Green Day, Bon Jovi, Thirty Seconds to Mars and others.
Now, Rock-n-Mob has put together a group of more than 250 musicians in Moscow to play Metallica’s “Sad But True.” You can check out the rather awesome results above.
