tiny dancer

[kaceyalligator]

Sexy ,man right here...

[jonasnybakk]

I love Dave Grohl, but honestly, John Frusciante covers this song way better.

[albinofeliz]

i hate you/yours. i love frusciante/'s.

[Romans10Verse9]

HOLD ME CLOSER TONY DAAAANZAAA

[dirk5780]

fuck everyone who just fucking sat there in the audience and didn't sing along

[DjDirekt1]

This is an unrehearsed, for fun, live cover version.. I don't see any of you playing it.. RESPECT the legend!

[DjDirekt1]

@ Paulrosscz - you are def one without taste or musical knowledge if you call David Grohl "this guy" dumbass...respect the legend!

[pookiewook]

ohh, it...just keep goin' hahaha <3

[pookiewook]

i love you dave grohl but you fail at the chorus

[ratmanxi]

Hillarious!!!!

[bfpowerQQQ]

Hold me closer, Tony Danza...

[Caide18]

haha audience sucked pretty bad

[Suka00]

for all you people bashing this song, if u were in that crowd, u will actually feel daves magic eminate from him. hes such a great performer and to just kid around and do this song amazing just adds up to his already badass musicianship status

[peu239]

John's version is the best

[ImFallingForAutumn]

This guy isn't a very good musician at all. I know I'm going to get angry responses to this comment. But really, he is not very good at all, there are plenty of kids at my high school much better than him.

[420bighits]

@ImFallingForAutumn he was the drummer of nirvana , and frontman of the foo fighters, trust me no one in your school is better than him, hes just fucking around in this clip. Dave Grohl is a legend man.

[ImFallingForAutumn]

@420bighits Okay. Pardon me my ignorance then. :)

[BabySmurfSmuggler]

@ImFallingForAutumn Dave Ghrol is a legend.

[thehollows]

@ImFallingForAutumn Man. This guy plays with Josh Homme... Must I elaborate?

[krozer05]

This guy just talk with the crowd

[augib]

gum in his mouth - looks like a wanker

[stelur]

@augib He's said in interviews that the reason he chews gum on stage is because his throat dries out from screaming. =)

[augib]

@stelur : cheers but he isnt screaming!

[stelur]

@augib I realize that, but I think he does it so often that it's become a habit to always have gum when he's on stage.

[pipandrew]

@augib fuck off its to keep his mouth from getting dry - i do the exact same thing when i sing and no one rlly cares about what they look like when they're in a rock band unless theyre a fake pop corporate bullshit

like Elton John for example

[007goldengun007]

@augib watch?v=lhxFfoN_Pic

[cageboyes]

I love when Dave goes off like this.. It's cool!!

[AUS10TEX]

dentyne and colombia thx ouy.

[RAFABEANS]

Prefiro o Frusciante

[tdenterprise]

who's this faggot?

[whb786]

@tdenterprise This faggot was the drummer for Nirvana. Now this faggot is the lead singer of the Foo Fighters. Some say this faggot is the most talented musician of the last 20 years.

[tdenterprise]

@whb786 fuck outta. most talented musician of the last 20 years my ass, get the fuck outta face with that shit. everyone knows drummers smoke bones.

[whb786]

@tdenterprise Great rebuttal. You seem like a smart person. Make sure you wear your helmet when going out. Peace

[Riv66]

a little too precious for my taste...

[luvstospooge0]

dave grohl is the messiah

[classicrockmann]

"HEY! THIS IS MY SHOW!" lol

This is a good version, but I like John Fruscinate's version better

[peppermaniaka]

muy malo jajajaj

[MrTowers2112]

I've always been a big fan of Dave Grohl but how he disrespected this tune and such a poor performance makes me think that he is a phony. A sorry and shameful performance.

[Suka00]

i think he played it pretty good... i mean if it was another gig he probably would of done a more thorough job on it

[TheJodilena]

i think he was just havin' fun...lol...even pros gotta have fun sometimes.

[dsouzand]

he looks better with facial hair

[paulrosscz]

john frusciante's version kicks this guys ass

[lukeism2]

haha no fuckin way, john frusciante cannot even sing the falsetto properly.. listen to ben folds version

[paulrosscz]

john can sing actually..listen to some newer stuff..plus johns music goes much further than this so there's nothing to talk about

[lukeism2]

i've listened to alot of johns stuff and i've come to the opinion that he sucks, not just his pathetic cover of tiny dancer where he can barely play the chords, but his other songs suck too. ryan adams and elton john do a duet of this song which pretty much kills all other versions..

[calctmnt]

gosh youre an idiot@paulrosscz

[paulrosscz]

@calctmnt ye sure..how come i've got the highest rated comment? you're an idiot for not knowing who john frusciante is..him and this cute boy just can't be compared PERIOD. lool

[calctmnt]

who said i dont know who he is dumbass? you take music too seriously dickwad. ooo my first youtube comment war.@paulrosscz

[paulrosscz]

@calctmnt lol you suck

[paulrosscz]

@paulrosscz thumbs up if you know what i'm talking about!

[jriverband]

@paulrosscz yeah men john is the fucking boss!

[pipandrew]

@paulrosscz he's not being serious tbh

[1999californication]

@paulrosscz

I LOVE YOU and your comment man

best comment EVER!!

[WorleyWR]

@paulrosscz  this guy? thats fucking Dave Grohl.

[finlaycarlon]

@paulrosscz grohl is god!

[Rockdude147]

@paulrosscz WRONG!!!! if dave grohl really wanted to to try with this song he would of blown everybodies minds. He was just goofing around on this. Dave Grohl is the God of music!

[RulloCom]

@paulrosscz The only thing Frusciante can do is blowin' the Grohl's dick.

[clizzaster]

Instead of thanking Cameron Crowe, maybe he should give thanks to Elton John.

[ilovethepeppers]

i absolutely love the chorus

[alehi1]

dave grohl. good guy.

[chainbrain82]

@alehi1 , i agree he is a good guy he is what you call the peoples performer. he really knows how to get the audience gelling with him.

[alehi1]

most definitely. he's good with people.

[zeppelinstrat]

why doesn't he go falsetto? it ruins the chorus.

[dnnysrock]

in what year this happened?

right afer kurt died? =S

[EccentricFrog]

it would have to be some time after 2000 because that's when almost famous came out

[CodyM]

way, way after.

[grzana2429]

Simple as... chords,

nice voice,

thats all...

easy and simple :/

[k796812]

i love how all you people get on here just to talk shit, its great, it shows how you project the hatred of yourself onto someone else. b/c you know you could never acheive anything in your own life LOSERS!!!!

[duuude907]

first of all youre a hypocrite because youre talking shit on the people who talked shit already. secondly youve probably achieved as much as them. third this is a section for comments and it doesnt specify whether they have to be positive or negative so your comment is actually less relevant than any of theirs since youre not commenting on the video. =)

[kintoki100]

he sucks, can't even reach the note on chorus >.>

[HungOverZorro]

this guy is a musical genius

[totalchaos09]

tony danza!!!

[dasicknt]

yeah the gum chewing should be banned from society

[malcomx52]

i hate how he is chewing gum

looks so stupid.

[lewfc2011]

what good's a cover if it sounds exactly like the original love the original and this so yeah

[rstar1990]

the john frusciante version is so much better guys. he actually puts feeling into his song. and also plays it on an electric.

[elchamber]

@rstar1990 Damn, he was joking around. This version can't be compared.

[goofypet]

He loves Almost Famous!!! haha!!!

I love this one!

[doug2930]

he seems really funny

[imman033190]

he was saying so many things, why don't he just sing the song beautifully

[Airslair08]

john frusciante do it better

[sthelaus]

yeah, this was more like a parody of this beautiful song

[Extremo3000]

:O he did a cover!?!

[Airslair08]

yes  its cool =)

[dannyboyhero]

lame

[ziggyplayguitar]

i never heard it before eighter, dave!

[TheBrokenFrog]

epic. wish i coulda been there

[schwantz037]

shyte

[randomhereoh]

The Almost Famous scene is the best. When ever i hear that song i think of that part. Daves the man, hes earnd the right to chew gum on stage

[DiogoBrancoRocks]

i like the t-shirt :P KISS Rocks

the sons is cool ;)

one of the best rocker in the history

The great Dave ;)

[ezekieloak]

I chew gum.

[bddb9]

4:05, shades of sam kinison lol

[NUrMindOuttaUrMouth]

haha fucking dave. i love how he's one of the very few who'll goof on tv and such.

god i love music. bringin ppl togetha. oh yeeah

[packerfan1996]

i actually really liked this haha

[magicalhearingman]

Jimi Hendrix used to chew gum all the time, it probably keeps him from getting cotton mouth

[hammondboys1]

spit that gum out you clown

[ShuguProductions]

John Lennon chewed gum.

[vivi125]

What the name of this show?

[lyke8421]

im guessing the people here hating on dave probly love bands like nikelback,buckcherry, and hinder

[spankythedog56]

uh...i love dave and like buckcherry dude. dont put them with nickelback and hinder.

[ikdoemoeilijk]

lol dave shut up please

[Nevermind900426]

anyone know what year this is from??

[brilleaben]

He's 32 so..

[Nagasaki223]

2000

[bethwshr]

Dave is the best! He's got a great sense of humor and loves life and music...he's enjoying himself and so is the crowd...nothing failed here...rock on Dave!

[remiemcp]

like i say, he not a tv man only a music man, totally not his element. He love to play live and record thats it enough said.

[xlaxvanderhaven]

dam thats bad.. and he's chewing gum as well.. seriously ,respect your audience.

[Nevermind900426]

lol he is always doing that for being dry in his throat and might trow up, thats why.

and foo is the best live band, so obvious his a great live performer!

[spankythedog56]

he's just chewing gum. whats wrong with liking gum? seriously.

[mustanglover1985]

Im not gonna lie I have been a fan of dave since before nirvana but he really fucked this song

[wulord]

He's just messing around. Kinda like when he did stairway on this show.

[nessi555]

this just shows how amazing ol' elton is Dave can only just get it right its sounds a little like he is gonna explode lol

[DirtKnapp]

Dude, Elton wrote it to suit his voice, not Dave's. Not to mention, Dave is a rock singer, his style has always been pretty gruff.

[nessi555]

ok, good point.

[wesbond13]

Thank you GDT

[GDT1124]

any person who negatively comments this video needs to get a sense of humor and stop clicking videos of shit that they don't like.

[Kenoran]

Iv only got one thing to say to u mate.

...

HOLD ME CLOSER TINY DANCER!!!!!!!

who cares man, its all good... he still got it down

[MrCheese654]

hey, i didnt see the crowd complaining eh? if you didnt like this, check out his cover of stairway to heaven.... hehehe dave grohl is great :D brilliant voice, funny too... hehhehe fuck you dude :)

[Tatsuyashasan]

Anybody know when this was?

[homergonerson]

February 16th, 2001 on "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn"

[BuddinTheAmazing]

Ah, that Legend...

[schmitty4892]

he was born to be a performer

[Gavittz]

Couldnt agree with you more man:)

I love it when he says "HEY THIS IS MY SHOW!!!" haha made me giggle:P

[IAmTheWalrus2008]

the song is good and i dont really care if hes not done it just like the original, this is a good cover. no need to freak out over it.

[olina10may89]

dave's the man!!

[biohazardmetalgear]

998loughlinx sut the fuck up man

dave grohl = legend

read his bography and maby ull apreciate music.

and also his voise is angelic

[998loughlinx]

he fucking ruined it ! how can you insult such an amazing song, do it justice you fuck.

[0o0o0o0o00o0o00o0o0o]

I agree, Dave Grohl i am certainly a fan of Dave Grohl but this cover i thought was pretty bad, I love this song.

[electro676]

sense of humor/lack there of? If you follow Dave's career at all you'll find he likes to purposefully mess with a song for the sake of a good laugh.

[drumm3rdude714]

I think this violates copyrights

[electro676]

nah, you can perform a song, you can't make money off of it like on a record. Plus I believe it's public domain since it's been around for a long time (20+ years?).

[drumm3rdude714]

hahaha, he's singing with gum

He's my hero

[funkenstien69]

kudos my hero

[toftus]

<3 u dave! u where the one that got me into drums... maybe you'll be the one that gets me into mr,john as well! XD

[theciancian]

if he played it properly it would've been good

[SargentAnus]

Wooo!  The music world is missing great entertainers. Thank you Dave.

[thedude19766]

craig kilborn is a douche

[eli6844]

yeah i agree dave is teh suck in this cover

[ghost037]

haha daves awesome.

[mamboo789]

he can't sing it

[orangeoctober33]

David Grohl is so awsome.

[downtowntrash]

nice..

[bryt12693]

HEY THIS IS MY SHOW. lmao hes really funny in concert. i saw him last year at madison square garden and he was just making everyone laugh in the crowd lol and also it was a great fucking concert

[hinspere]

Hold me closer Tony Danza

[fredsk1]

HAHAHA awesome

[kennykins420]

ahaha 5:50 "the teleprompter stopped"

[kingcaesar5]

sounds terrible

[Sueizi0]

O men NIRVaNA DAVE GROHL AND KURT COBAIN ROCKS YEAHH !!!!! xD

[lauraherzer]

CANT GET IT RIGHT

[justoplainocrazy]

yey! i only ever saw it when i saw almost famous! almost famous is my favourite. ...xxxxx....x

[Cobra04tr]

Still Looks Good Even Without Kurt...... Keep On Rockin.........

[nickserge23]

No, I think someone yells out "Who is she..." or somethig

and he replies "Your sister!"

I think?

[Penlager]

I like 4:44

he calls a guy in the crowd stupid.....

CLASSIC

[azizo317]

????

[BarberShopA]

this was definitely not a serious performance.. he definitely knows all the words i'm sure, and frusciante doesn't play the whole song ever.. does pretty much the same thing, only on a strat usually

[mystro810]

how can somebody go that long with out hearing this song?!?!? especially a good musician. he must not listen to much radio

[xErindx]

He was joking. He did a lot of funny sets on Craig Ferguson's show.

[TOWMStudios]

thats craig kilborn

[nirvanasliver]

John Frusciante does it heaps better, better singer and guitarist - grohl is just OK

[TanyaRiver]

I could not agree with you more.

[skanky87]

it was a great scene in Almost Famous but this song was great far before that movie was made

[Woohoo5241]

Does he say "This is so stupid" at 4:45?

[jwenrh]

he actually does...

[Sueizi0]

HAHA YEAH IT"S Funny xD

[divinggymnast17]

i love this song... elton john sings it better but whatever... Almost famous made this song so great

[emm2479]

omg i downloaded this version agaes ago, thats so weird i just found it on youtube.. eeak

[6197859]

this guys for ever chewing gum

[12ant345]

I love the lyrics, I dont know what this dude is doing.. the lyrics fucking rule :)

[CurrieBhoy1888]

NOT A PATCH ON JOHN FRUSCIANTES COVER

FUCK DAVE GROHL

FRUSCIANTE IS GOD ....R.H.C.P....No.1

[RealyMadMAX]

to do a cover of tiny dancer wasn't john frusciantes idea.

[Rickpart]

What the fuck are you saying this wasn't anyone's Idea at all :S its just a great song that they both happend to like :S fuck of Curriebhoy

[jessicajava000]

dave grohl is god, fuck you.

[j4ckh3art]

as much as I worship the ground frusciante walks on. You are a fucking doucheface

[lisasboogies]

geesh...what a f=n clown...recongize... john and taupin... fantastic lyricist and musician... the movie was fluff but inspirational...f u for making fun of such a great song...i'm cutting the video off b/c grohl's a retard...now he has a voice all of a sudden,.,i wonder why??>>?

[BlackMetalinc]

Lol i tried to find this song after watching Almost famous xD

Great movie & great Singer :)
