thanks for this vid man its great... I'm jealous of Jeff's rad family.. it's great that a rock star such as himself can still be so well grounded and have good roots at home.. it is possible, and he proves it.
His son, who is now 13, drummed with him at Lollapalooza last year. Absolutely adorable! One of the best rock documentaries about the BEST rock band this earth has ever been graced with. Thank you Jeff and Wilco for making music that ROCKS my soul!

@Mozaeous i dare you to put so much heart and emotion into a song like wilco did in i am trying to break your heart or jesus etc oh wait you can't you are only good at beating every level in halo :P
I remember this documentary, they stopped at a Wendy's and Jeff didn't have any cash after they had ordered. Of course, Tweedy handled it with class. or did he? Jeff, thank you for your dry-ass humor. May you always be able to afford new tires to reach all yer fans
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is one of the very few albums that, when listening to it, there isn't a single song that is bad, even okay. Everything is beautifully composed, and it is a must-buy record.
One of the best songs of all time. I'll never forget seeing Wilco in some lecture hall at University of Colorado before YHF was officially released but after fans heard it and fell in love. The morons running the hall wouldn't let anybody dance in the aisle or leave their seats. I think people just wanted to explode dancing but couldn't.
it kinda makes sense. one time i searched for a jonas brothers video for the sole purpose of posting a bad comment. or someone tells you about a band they like, and you decide to try listening to them, and end up not liking them. but i love wilco.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Emo? that would be pathetic even for emo, although i did want to slit my wrist listening to that. why is it called heavy metal drummer and this craps not the least bit metal?
AmblyopicMortem because its partially about heavy metal bands. just because its named heavy metal drummer doesn't mean it has to sound like heavy metal. wouldn't that be predictable? plus this song is probably more original than any heavy metal and emo song thrown out today
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah idec idek whats happening. i fell in love with the drummer and when i first heard this song i was so happy that it described me that i started winding and grinding so hard that i spilled my whisky and i had to get a new computer, =(....
i fell in love with this song; my drummer; my brother; you <3333333
If this is emo bullshit, them you must listen to mainstream crap. Obviously, the music you listen to has no artistic or musical value but rather is written by producers solely rather than by the artist.
wow your taste in music sucks EMO MUSIC IS emotionaly charged music it means it has a meaning un like your brittany spears crap you listen to with meanings of sex and drugs at least this music has a great meaning or memories from their lives so shut up and listen to your crap and leave wilco alone
ok i take back a little bit of that comment the sex and drugs meanings are ok but like the ohh im gonna pop a cap in ur ass rap sucks and the over the top whoreness of people like brittany spears sucks and that last comment was for gretschgreen
What makes them different is, as of today, a combination of two things. One is Tweedy's writing style, he writes songs that mean something, and he puts a ton of thought into them. Second is Nels Cline, not many guitarists like him out there, he reminds me of David Gilmour.
I love Jeff, Nels, and David. Nels kinda reminds me of Santana. Having established that I admire these guys just like you, I wanna ask you something: What do you mean when you say that Tweedy writes songs that mean something and that he puts tons of thought into them? I'm pretty sure that there are tons of people who "mean" things in their songs and that spend tons of time thinking about their songs and yet produce horrible music. What does Jeff "mean" exactly?
There are lots of song writers that put a lot of thought and effort into a song, but end up with something horrible. Tweedy is gifted at writing songs. It's not just that his songs have meaning, he's also a very skilled songwriter, and I'd almost go as far as calling him a poet. His style reminds me of Jim Morrison, he's not so much a songwriter as a poet, really.
what?! didn't you just listen to this? listen to more wilco. listen to jeff tweedy's nasal rock n roll vocals, the brilliantly obscure and meaningful lyrics, the melodic piano... no words can singlehandedly describe wilco's sound, but its so familiar. its alt. country, its punk, its folk, its rock n roll, its pop, but its so much more! It's Wilco! this is just one song, and no other wilco song sounds like this.
Seriously - do you really have nothing else to occupy your time with aph6144? A hobby perhaps? Arts and crafts? Why would you come all the way here, listen to the song, and take time to post how much you hate the song. Were you trying to impress us that you know a girl? Or that she carries a cell phone that rings?
Why don't you stick to your Plain White T's and Foo Fighters. I am sure I will come across you somewhere else on youtube saying how much you hate something.
I live like less than ten miles from all the Plain White T's, and they are nothing like Wilco. Why are they even mentioned in the same thought... unless it's "you know who doesn't suck like the plain white t's, Wilco."
I don´t understand people like you Aph6144 if you hate this song, why do you have all this work to find out what it is and posting a fuck comment on here? Just don´t listen to it!!!
I heard this song on a girls ringtone, and I had to figure out what it was. I happen to really hate this song very much, but it's one of those annoying ones that you love to hate and you aren't satisfied till you just break down and listen to it. I hate this song. God, what a shitty, repetitive line!! " She fell in love with the drummer, another and another.." Jesus it's like a root canal for your EARS!!!
