At their show Tuesday night (Oct. 17), the Foo Fighters invited University of South Carolina student Pierce Edge to play drums with the band. Edge had been holding a sign during the concert that read: “Drums on Under Pressure?” Dave Grohl brought Edge onstage, joking “don’t shit the bed in front of your hometown, brother.”

The band then let him loose on the drums, and Edge launched into a tight rendition of Queen’s 1981 classic. The crowd went understandably wild.

Watch Pierce perform with the Foo Fighters below:

He also posted a series of Instagrams from the show.
