  • "ONE LAST THING BEFORE I QUIT"... Could they have picked a better song for Pat to quit too xD

  • It feels good to see a crowd that isn't busy taking out their phones and texting/tweeting/facebooking..­.i kinda miss that.

  • That scream at 3:18 doesn't serve him justice. He destroys his WOOOOAAAHHYEEAAHHH screams now.

  • im glad this wasnt a permanent switch

  • Anyone else agree that Pat sounds extremely like a girl and is also dressed like one?

  • Why that man isn't gay, confuses many

  • ROCK ON GUYS FOOO FIGHTERSS!!!

    pat is awesome.

  • Is pat gay? Not hating. Just sounds like he is.

  • @sebsoriano19 He is not.

  • @MichaelSloan100 Alright then. Thanks for informing me

  • @sebsoriano19 I know what you mean xD But he is just UNBELIEVABLY camp xD The first time i heard his voice i was like "Wait... HE was in THE GERMS!?!?" XD

  • Dave wasn't open to much sentiment, was he?

    "Ok, Bye Pat"... Everlong... 

  • Wow, how much Dave's come on...

  • i love Pat, the way he plays amazes me...but what was he wearing? O.o

  • lol why is there a 6505 full stack up there??

  • @shinfo002 5150 rather at this time.

  • Taylor's face is priceless XD

  • Pat is definitely my favourite Foo Fighter.... Right there with Dave.... I was a snot-nosed little skate punk in the 80's, raised on the buzzsaw guitar work of Pat Smear with THE GERMS, and I think the Foo Fighters lack a bit of that "wall of guitar noise" sound that was their trademark when Pat is not in the band...  But Pat Smear or no Pat Smear, I will certainly be catching FF once again when they hit ATL November 7....

  • That must have been the weirdest pat on the back, Pat gave to Franz :P

  • wtf why his voice changed so much compared to nirvana times?? if you listen to virginia or marigold it's like different singer

  • @Patrycz4k

    that because he wasnt the singer for nirvana... he was the drummer.

  • God, I can't hear the guitars at all in this.

  • best way to leave a show

    "Rock on guys, Foo Fighters!!" and then Everlong. AMAZING

  • Is Pat gay lol

  • @THEBONEENGINE i was wondering about that too haha but i saw "back and forth" documentary and it clearly shows him having a wife and kid

  • @THEBONEENGINE Hahaha no I get what you mean, he's very very very Californian I think... I'm pretty sure he's married, or he at least has a girlfriend :)

  • why didnt he stage dive?!!

  • pat is an awsome "fag" of a guitar player i saw him with nirvana and when i found out who he was i studied the germs..fine musical "queer" there that pat smear..(if you couldnt tell i was being funny..not gay(like pat) funny but funny)

  • Thumbs up if you watched the documentary "Back & Forth"!

  • 6 people probabaly disliked this because this brings back the momory of pat leaving... well he's back.

  • get the back and forth documentary by foo fighters. it explains everything.

  • @Reido666 that documentary was awesome! i've watched it like 3 times lol

  • Ugh, taylor's drum set sounds shitty.

  • I love Foo Fighters, but Dave's scream sounded like an orgasm xD srry :) but it still was epiccc <3

  • Do people still perform on top of Radio City Musical sign anymore?

  • i love these songs, i was heart broekn when i sene pat left the foo fighters. i had just gotten into the foo fighters while goin through my nirvana/pat smear craze. this was the 2n video i seen with him and he left i was like that is horrible, and when i heard franz step on and play i could tell the difference and he sounded horrible even to this day i think he sounds horrible. i was glad to hear he was fired, i grew up on the foos with chris shifflet so to find pat as the 1st guitarist was cool

  • Pat really let himself go didn't he? :)) Still an awesome guitarist though.

  • Pat just happens to have a flamboyant personality. Either way, he's a wicked guitarist and the Foos adding him back in the band was a great idea! The Germs also kicked ass back in the day.

  • ahhh the young days of dave grohl .... he was a lte bloomer, he had just hit puberty in the video you see here.

  • @danogolden777 you do kno he was 28 here right?

  • @valeo1993 It was a joke . . .

  • @danogolden777 ah ok, yea i was out of it and my friend was using my account after i went to sleep

  • sexy bass sound

  • GOO FOO FIGHTERTH!

  • Pat neeeeeeever fitted in FF

  • @dabc587 Stop being racist.

  • @dabc587 he's part of foo fighters again, and their friggen awesome now

  • @danogolden777 they're

  • I'm Happy to say Pat is on the road again with the foo's as plenty member, Pat used to give an additional boost to Foo Fighters well appreciated on T.C.A.T.S. record, I dont think he's gay, he just's got the habit of being sizzy (like other men).

  • man this guy (pat smear) is so annoying. he's in every band.

  • @josephborderline you should look up dave grohl's bands. Scream to Nirvana to Foo Fighters.

  • @BionicleBoy4135 Yeah, don't forget, his side projects, Probot, Pocketwatch (Late!) Also he was in Queens of the stone age who are also extremely good. And don't forget ThemCrookedVultures, amazing bands, though don't beat Foo Fighters.

  • @TheLazyJT He also recorded the drums on both of the Tenacious D albums ^^

  • @thomas6594 Hell yea. Don't forget playing with Killing Joke and with Slash. :P

  • This should have a million views.

  • lame moments in rock...

  • must have been weird for fans

  • Interesting. Obviously whatever came between them is water under the bridge as now Pat Smear Is a full member again not just for touring, plays on the new album and appears on the front cover with the rest of the guys, as well as promo pictures. The Foos are now five strong as Chris Shiflett, Smear's (and Franz Stahl's) replacement is staying with the band. Three guitarist bands are becoming common now.

  • wait what i heard something about silverchair

  • you know, i like the band and the song, and i miss when cool music was more the standard than the exception, but the fact they're on the roof at the vmas seems so cheesetastic in retrospect.

  • Why did Pat leave the band? He is really a unique guitarist specially notice he plays all down strokes . I heard that he re-joined or did a few shows with them not so long ago?

  • @WayneWiblin He's back in the band. He's on their next album due in 2011 (which Dave tweeted they actually finished yesterday). Why he left is still subject to rumors and speculation. Officially it was that he was tired of touring (which they did do a lot of back then). Some people thought it might have been partially because of his anger with Dave over his divorce (Pat was supposedly close to Dave's first wife). Who really knows. I do know that Dave admitted to crying over it.

  • @jenfine I'm so glad Pat's back in the band! His quirkyness was part of the charm of Foo Fighters back in the day, IMO. In fact, I love that whole original lineup with both guys from SDRE.

  • @jenfine Krist will be there too :D

  • @jenfine He left cos he was bored

  • @WayneWiblin i think that pat became bored of being with dave grohl for 5 years 2 with nirvana(pat at 2 guitar and dave at drums) and the other years with the foo

  • @WayneWiblin he just didnt feel like doing it anymore, he wanted to stop.

  • @WayneWiblin Pat left the band because he was sick of touring. I'm sure you've seen Back and Forth, their documentary. He talks about it on there

  • @st00pidp0ckets No I havent seen that documentary Back and Forth but thanx for telling me about it. Im going to try find it asap!!

  • @WayneWiblin watch their new movies, answers everything about foo fighters

  • i think pat is guiiillltyyyyyy ;D

  • lol, that explains Dave's impression of Pat on Conan O' Brien's show.

  • kind of weird seeing mtv beind good

  • PAT IS AWESOME! I'm so glad he's back as a full-time member of the Foo's!

  • ahwoooo*voicecrack*ahhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhwwwwwoooooowooooo!!­!!!! haha ah Dave... :-)

  • theres levels weren't set right, were they?

  • somebodys have the mtv pre show ?? of this show ???, i have only de ceremony but i dont have pre show.........i wanna buy it

  • 3:16 jajajajajajajaja =)

  • Taylor Hawkins looks like an albino.

  • OMG Pat Smear is again in Foo Fighters xD and not as a touring guitarist,a full time guitarist so Foo Fighters is now made of 5 members

  • 1997....the best year ever.

  • @dormantreign 1994 worst year ever Kurt Cobain Died and Justin Bieber was born....

  • Hahaha read the info its funny

  • Hmm, I love the Germs, and from The Germs to playing in the Foo Fighters is quite the jump, but either way gotta love Pat. :)

  • They cut out the word "shit" in 1996. Nowadays, ? Be careful

  • I love Pat!

  • I like foos, but shit performance. sorry.

  • man, foo fighters kinda went downhill after pat left... he was a fun guy

  • LMAO

    what a scream!

  • well honestly, who cares if hes gay, i dont even mind

  • dave grohl abortions

  • that was the fucking best monkey wrench scream eeeeveeeeeer :D love daves screaming ♥

  • @ekirtsretnuoc fucking worst ever

  • @ekirtsretnuoc Fuck that was the worst scream!

  • pat smear looks like rapist in this video

  • i remember this.. 9th grade

  • @miamiwax same here, but 10th grade

  • Comment removed

  • Okay, fine. On an epsoide of Loveline in 2003, Adam Carolla stated that Pat "seems guy to me" and Dave twice said "Ladies Man" and Adam said "really???" And Dave said "No Question". Adam "Straight guy?" Dave: "Totally". Not sure why Dave would lie about that, especially since Pat seems like the kind of guy who would BE GAY if he really were gay. The episode is on the internet - if you can find the Loveline archieve. It was April of 2003.

  • Comment removed

  • You're welcome. I just noticed a big typo above in my comment. Carolla obviously said "seems GAY to me".

  • @ashoftomorrow - Pat has a newborn

  • @ashoftomorrow in 'back and forth' he's got a wife and kid. your comment sucks.

  • my god, i was wondering why people thought he was gay but now i know why lmao, i did not expect him to be like that lol i know he's straight but still...lmao!!

  • you can tell they were nervous dude..just listen to dave's yellin' hahah badass band nonetheless..hands down the best band in the world today

  • Why's Taylor wearing an Andy Warhol wig?

  • its a haircut ^^

  • Haha, Dave's scream at 3:15 sounds like he's giving birth... or immitating Howard Dean's infamous yelp

  • Is Pat Smear gay?

  • dude read the description

  • I did read it. My previous comment is what's described as a joke.

  • does it REALLY matter to you?

  • Nobody appears to be very discerning around these parts.

  • yes

  • I was there it was insane we waited like 5 hours on that bus it was awsome, what a memory. We were just walking by and they were like you wanna be on the bus and we were like ok. was frekin cool.

  • wow Nate's bass is loud

  • thats how its suppose to be

  • @MrGAT93 yes.

  • @MrGAT93 it would be funny if dave had to leave stage because nate's bass pounded so hard, he had to pee.

  • WHat a noble way to leave the band...i'm glad it wasn't like a DLR departure or shit like that...

  • ok if any one says hes not gay after hearing him talk they are in denial

  • hes married dumbass

  • yeah to a guy.... jk i never thought he was.

  • It's not Pat's fault you love cock.

  • wann warn das mit dem solo?

  • Musst mal die DVD Skin and bones anschauen, irgendwan stellt sich auch jeder mal vor und spielt kurz was an, P S wird persönlich von D angesprochen, keine Reaktion.

    Oder unplugget mit Nirvana live in NY,

    da fällt er kein bisschen auf.

    Ich hab den Eindruck die Band zieht den nur mit durch, aber Warum?

    Grüße aus MHL,

  • hallo nun ich denk der versucht sich im hintergrund zu halten der war ja bei der in utero tour auch nur dabei um den rythmuspart mitzuspielen und gute laune zu machen. ich find ihn sehr interresant ;D wenn er so verrückt rumspringt und so seine art halt. Nunja ich werd mir mal bald die dvd anschauen dankeschoen ;)

    grüße aus wormtown

  • Grüße Alter!Das mag sein,dass es seine Art ist und vielleicht übertreibe ich auch etwas.Aber wenn ich hier lese, "smear is a great guitarist",oder "Pat is cool"also wirklich,dann such mal im Netz nach PS, Du findest musikalisch fast nix,nur den "Last Song" als er die Band verließ.und mal ehrlich, warum verlässt jemand denn so eine Band?Die Utero tour kenn ich nich,hab nur die CD,aber wie gesagt bei MTV unplugget in NY oder Skin and Bones,da merkst Du ihn kein bisschen.Danke für Deine Post.

  • ja hast schon recht. der hängt halt mit dennen rum und versucht die musiker fröhlich zu halten ;-) Anyway .. ich mag foo fighters garnicht so wirklich ich hab auch das skin and bones aber die sind mir zu radio freundlich. Der ist schon ein wenig mystisch find ich :D

  • smear is a great guitarist

  • pat sounded kindof sad but i would be two if i quit playing music with one of the greatest bands i have ever heard

  • Pats cool!

    who cares if he's gay or not?

  • Hahaha the screams are so off :p

  • pat sounded abit strange while talkin

    so sad

  • afronirvana

    you mean.... Sad=gay

    c'mooon he is gay and dont say that he is not cause he is

  • wtf has his way of talking to do with being gay? cmon man, it´s more like drugs..!

  • lol i think the guitar amp broke

  • I remember this. I was said that the happy guitarist was leaving. :(

  • grohl's fuckin awesome. his screams are so out of place

  • pat smears seems like such a nice and cool guy...just like dave grohl but way more laid back

  • hahaha 3:16.. someone turn down dave's mic eh

  • pat smear provides centre-leg support to bees!

  • i never saw the germs and all the music i heard from them was like LIVE SHITTY RECORDING i dont understand any of their lyrics or anything, can you point me in the right direction to something that might change my mind?

  • Well, you might would wanna check out their cd "MIA: The complete anthology" Its a time line of the songs they put out, you can probably find it on myspace or piratebay. It features the germs first, and last show (audio only.) I'll PM you the link so you can listen to it without downloading anything, if you'd like.

    And with the "Live shitty recordings" that was just that way Darby performed, he was always gone on heroin and acid. You have to respect him for trying for as much dope he took.

  • "respect him for trying so much dope?"

    You, sir, are a fucking idiot. (!)

  • hahahahahahahahahhahahhaha is that a joke? get the fuck out of here

  • why did pat leave??

  • that is really sad....

  • i thumbs up it, cause i agree its sad.

  • love his scream

  • 1st, pat smear is amazing! and on a second note, taylor's druming is freakin awesome!! also Dave Grohl is my hero :)

  • aww that was sad, but at least they got the guitarist from Scream now, not to bad a trade i guess.

  • krist novoselic should join them!

  • Wow THAT`s SO SAD WATCHING PAT SMEAR LEAVE , hes COOL.

  • yeah so sad, i like pat than franz

  • wow, old foofighters are cool

    they went totally poppy and mainstream now...there isn't much left of grunge in their songs

  • can you believe this guy turned downed an offer to play wit the chilli peppers this guy is a fuckin beast i want him in my band too! he turned them down cuz they wouldnt stop playing funk tho i agree with him on that one

  • Pat Smear is the best.

  • Fuck the haters..Pat is cool.

  • FRAAANZ!

  • just read about how pat smear quit band in the book called the dave grohl story, had to come on you tube to see if i could find it. And did!! Foo fighters are ace!! Dave grohl is gorgeous!!! Loved him in nirvana and queensof stoneage. xx

  • that wasnt the best

  • 3:17!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA I love Grohl but that just sounded scary

  • ...the word is effeminate, if you can't spell a word, don't use it. It just makes you look dumber than a bag of spanners.

    I remember watching this live, brought a tear alright, especially since only a couple of weeks before I got to see Pat on stage with them, and all I could think was "that's half of Nirvana right there"

  • Wow, Pat Smear is 50 this year, didn't realize he was that age.

  • Wow he does sound very afeminate, i dont think hes gay but i can see where people get the impression, i think he was described by Chris Shiflett as "Like having a big sister in the band"

  • Oh yeah...I remember I used to watch MTV back when they'd interview him, he's a complete flamer, but so what. He always seemed nice, and he plays well, rock on....

  • sooooooooooooooo

    afeminate

  • dont wanta rahhhhh woaooooa rahhh *cough* ahhhhhhhh???!?!?!!!
