🔥 Dave Grohl Shocks Judges at Mr. World Chile 2025 — Performs Death Metal Song During Talent Round
In an unexpected twist that sent shockwaves through the audience, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, competing as a contestant in Mr. World Chile 2025, left both judges and fans stunned on Sunday night when he delivered a full-blown death metal performance during the talent segment.
Known globally for his electrifying presence as a rock icon and multi-instrumentalist, Grohl took the stage in Santiago not with a guitar ballad or a rock classic — but with an intense, growling rendition of a death metal original, combining blistering guttural vocals with powerful drum breaks. The performance immediately went viral across social media, sparking a mix of admiration, disbelief, and laughter.
Witnesses say the crowd erupted the moment Grohl grabbed the microphone and screamed, “Let’s take it up a notch!” before launching into a track that sounded straight out of a Scandinavian metal festival. His unrelenting energy, deep growls, and thunderous drumming reportedly “shook the walls” of the venue, leaving some judges speechless and others headbanging in delight.
“Only Dave Grohl Could Pull That Off”
One of the event’s judges, Chilean model Carolina Araya, later told reporters that Grohl’s performance was “utterly unexpected but somehow brilliant.” She said,
“We thought he would do something soulful or acoustic — maybe a Foo Fighters song. But he went full death metal on us. I don’t think anyone else in this competition could have pulled that off and still charmed the audience afterward.”
Grohl, ever the showman, later laughed off the stunned reactions. “You can’t take life too seriously,” he said backstage. “They said, ‘show us who you are,’ and I guess this is who I am — chaos, drums, and a little bit of screaming.”
Fans Lose Their Minds Online
Within minutes, clips from the performance flooded X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, with hashtags like #GrohlGoesMetal, #MrWorldChile, and #MetalGrohl trending globally. Some fans hailed the act as “the most metal moment in pageant history,” while others joked that “Dave Grohl just turned Mr. World into Wacken Open Air.”
One fan commented,
“Only Dave could enter a beauty pageant and turn it into a rock concert. Absolute legend.”
Another wrote,
“Imagine being one of the other contestants and realizing you’re competing against the guy who played drums for Nirvana AND can growl like a demon.”
Judges’ Mixed Reactions — But Big Applause
Though some judges reportedly questioned whether the death metal performance fit the “Mr. World” criteria, the audience’s reaction told a different story. Grohl received one of the loudest ovations of the night, and even contestants from other countries were seen cheering him on from the sidelines.
Event organizers later praised Grohl for his originality. A spokesperson said,
“The competition is about talent, confidence, and authenticity. Dave Grohl brought all three — in his own unmistakable way.”
What’s Next for Grohl?
While the results of the Mr. World Chile 2025 talent round have yet to be officially announced, Grohl’s performance has already secured its place in pop culture history. Whether he wins the title or not, fans agree he’s already taken home the crown for most unforgettable moment of the competition.
As one headline put it best:
“Dave Grohl didn’t just compete — he detonated the stage.”
And in true Grohl fashion, as he left the stage grinning, he reportedly told fans,
“Chile, you rock harder than anyone I’ve ever met — now let’s go melt some amps!” 🎤🔥
