It kinda looks like dave's crying at the start of the performance. Which is of course sad but shows how important music is in the way he feels. What a guy.
@FUTRM17 Both blond... don't see much else in common. Both are intense, both impressive drummers, but Taylor Hawkins is a wild man, Roger Taylor more inward, don't you think?
This definitely isn't about Kurt. Krist and Dave recording a couple of Dave's songs (one of which being "February Stars") while waiting for Cobain at the studio during the same session the band recorded "You Know You're Right."
this song is about Jennifer Youngblood, then Grohl? I though before (ten years ago) that was about Kurt Cobain (born in Feb)... again, I saw this show in MTV Brasil and then, they said that was recorded in Canada...
can i watch one ff video without people saying this was wriiten about kurt cobain.i swear they could write a song about taking a shit and people would say "this was written for Kurt cobain."not every song is about him.
Hm, well I agree with you, there are songs that have a mild influence here and there. He could write about more than one person in his songs. We really wouldn't know unless we asked him. I mean, fuck, this song was recorded before Nirvana ended, and if Dave didn't want people thinking this was about Kurt, he wouldn't name a song after a month Kurt was born on!
Just to be clear, there's only 2 songs that I supect could be INFLUENCED, not about, Kurt. And this is one of them.
@scartissue94 Bob Marley was born in February too. Doesn't mean Dave wrote this song about him. And being influenced and being written about is two very different things. I believe that Kurt definitely influenced Dave's music as he did with a lot of people. I also am guessing that Dave has written songs about him, but I don't think that this is one of them. So many people think that every song that he writes is about him and that's obviously not true.
I didn't say every song was about Kurt! I said I suspect like 2 songs to have a couple Kurt influenced lines. I only suspect this song is one of them by the way Dave is acting here.
The last days before Kurt shot himself, Dave wrote this song. The one day Nirvana was supposed to record You Know Your Right Kurt didn't show so Dave Grohl wrote Exhausted and February Stars. Awesome song check out Aurora off their third record too, so emotionally powerful!
Damn man... I can't believe I just cried a lil'. At 0:59 he opened his eyes and looked like he wanted to pour out the tears. Then later he wiped them from his face. Truely emotional, and made it better
Best February Stars live version ever ... the expression on his face, the way he sings it, all the emotions ... it's exceptional. Very underrated song, one of my favorites. It gives me chills. Simply perfect.
@azian196 I Know what you mean, Now all MTV cares about is Lady Gaga and whatever ridiculous outfit she is wearing! Oh! and lets not forget the long line of reality shows (i.e) Jesrsey STUPID Shore and yeah and 16 and Pregnant only MTV would come up with idiotic SHIT! LIKE THAT ! What happened MTV? when did you guys sell out?
This song is so freaking special to me. I think it's their best, and the fact that not THAT many people know it, makes it that much better. Amazing tune.
I'll admit how much of a bitch I am I used to cry to this when I was 11. Do you guys care probably not but yeah. Beautiful emotional song. You can't listen to it and not feel like the spirit world and the real world are both shaking around you. If Kurt was God then Dave is Jesus.
I love watching this video. ilike the way Dave sings...I like everything about this band ! daveissocute...
