The Rockin’ 1000 project has returned, this time with a cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, performed by nearly 1,200 singers, guitarists, bassists, and drummers at once. Initially formed to cover Foo Fighters’ “Learning To Fly” in an attempt to convince Dave Grohl to play a show in Italy, the Rockin’ 1000 project has gone on to achieve huge viral success, also covering tunes like The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” and “Rebel, Rebel” by David Bowie. Organizer Fabio Zaffagnini explains, “they all joined this project and took the flight to come over to this tiny Italian town that is Cesena and to perform in front of thousands of people, just like rockstars do. Actually they’re just normal musicians playing in pubs, but for once in their life they were in a context that is similar to the one that is generally reserved for rockstars.”
