Dave Grohl unleashes on fan who pelted him with Mentos on stage at Foo Fighters concert in Sydney: 'Don't you f***ing dare!'

Dave Grohl was none too pleased with a fan who paid cheeky tribute to one of his most famous music videos during a Sydney concert on Tuesday night. 

The American rock star was on stage with his grunge band, Foo Fighters, at Accor Stadium as part of their Take Cover Tour when a man called Thomas appeared to toss a Mentos candy at Grohl. 

Mentos famously appeared as a packet of 'Footos' in the Foo Fighters' music video for their 1996 single, Big Me, which was filmed in Sydney, Australia in 1995.

The clip was a parody of a popular commercial for the sweets, with Grohl seen brandishing a packet of Mentos during the comical clip. 

Ever since, fans have taken it upon themselves to toss the candy at the band while they perform Big Me at gigs. 

'I didn't eat those candies, because after we made this video, people threw those f**king things in my face every night every time we played this song,' Dave said to the 60,000-strong crowd. 

Hapless fan Thomas responded by attempting to take part in the trend, and Dave reacted with a barrage of insults. 

'Don't you f***ing dare. I'm telling you, don't be that guy,' Dave said from the stage while singling out the startled concert-goer. 

'How about this? I'm gonna play this song and I want you to eat that whole f***ing pack of Mentos while I'm playing this goddamn song,' Dave continued. 

Thomas held up his packet of Mentos to confirm that he would take the challenge. 

'Get the camera on this motherf***er,' Dave snapped, before calming down and offering a truce of sorts. 

'If you can finish the whole pack before we're done playing this song, I'll have a beer with you,' Dave said. 

Thomas managed to wolf down the entire roll of lollies, after which Dave sent his security down with a beer for him. 

The fan then chugged that beer too, with Dave cheering him on. 

There was no bad blood in the end, with Grohl later inviting Thomas backstage despite having unleashed on him at the show. 

'You know who's gonna go throw up in my f***ing dressing room right now,' Grohl said from the stage. 

'I'm gonna go back to my dressing room and find Thomas in a pile of puke.

'He just f***ing ate a whole pack of Mentos and then chugged a f***ing Coors Light.'

Dave added: 'Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not even kidding. This might be the funnest show we've ever played in this f**king city. For real.'

Foo Fighters will next perform in Newcastle, NSW on Thursday night, before shows in Melbourne and Adelaide.
