I can't wait to see these guys in December, and Dave did play all the instruments, recorded and sang all the vocals on this album, except for the guitar on x-static (played by Greg Dulli). The album versions ARE all Dave except (as mentioned earlier) for the guitar on x-static, recording and all.
OMG IVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THE FOO FIGHTERS. THIS SONG GOES WITH MY LIST OF AWSOME BANDS ALONG SIDE GREEN DAY NIVARNA INCUBUS DAUGHTY AND ALL THE OTHER AWSOME BANDS
@deadlyduk Only the intro of "Shiver" is similar to this song. I would like to point out that Dave recorded "Floaty" in October of 1994 and Coldplay released "Shiver" in March 2000. So tell me Cecil.... who copied who? Dumb ass.
foo were the greatest band ever back then. sometime around 2001 they got this idea in their heads that they had to start playing nu-metal to stay on the radio... wtf were they thinking. Radio? What a bunch of assholes. This album mattered.
I used to absolutely love this song and the whole debut album when I was 17/18 and still do. Listening to it here brings back many happy memories. My other favourites from the album include 'Good Grief', 'X-Static' and 'Exhausted', all fucking banging tunes.
love this album ive gone threw 4 copies and the one i have now doesnt work good lol might be time for a new one still cant believe i was 9 when this came out and i still listen to it
One of my top 10 albums of all time! Im thankful to Dave Grohl for bringing such great amount of happiness in my life due to the music he has created. Im forever a Foo Fighter fan!
@ContraryFlunky17 Dave didnt record this on his own. He recorded all the early foo fighters demo's on his own but not the album versions. The original demos (which dave recorded alone) are now on youtube if you search though :]
Hey, i love the Foos but i gotta agree with hhhseanhbk coz i dont get whats so bad about the new Foos. i mean i dont know about you but i wouldnt call songs like Pretender, Best of you, DOA or All my life soft. But thats just me. lol
really? why? where was the band when he was doing this. i know he's a multi-instrumentalist but he doesn't have to demonstrate that fact at every turn. both albums shouldn't be foo fighters albums, then, they should be dave grohl solo projects and then at the live gigs some `coulda been Foos' are backin him up to play his solo material.
The reason its a foo fighters album is because dave was looking for anouther hidden name (like his last one Late! for his cassette pocket watch). So he called it Foo Fighters, he created the band so he could promote it, and on colour and shape he only did drums for a few songs because he didn't like the drums he had before.
This is such a great song. The older FF songs are new to me. Guess I'm getting to know their music from the latest releases to the older ones. Bought their first CD last week and am really impressed with it.
Sorry, i didn't mean to do it intentionally. Its just the way my video making program made the video file. And im not making the 30 or so videos again just for a couple of seconds.
Hey great job posting the entire album. Cool, since I lost my original cd and felt like listening to some of the songs. This is a very cool song. Love the guitar riff and the drums speeding up in the middle of the verse.
actually yeah-Dave plays drums. He also does most of the drums on TCATS record, they weren't a full recording band until TNLT. They kept switching members inbetween tours/records. And even now (with the exception of the newest Foos record) Dave does a lot of the drum work on the Foos records with Taylor.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I dont know y people gave u thumbs down. Its an honest opinon and Iv seen people give thumbs down for the dumbest reasons. I like Exhusted better also. Go ahead give ME thumbs down. Cmon do it.
yeah i mean it would be different if you were bashing it. like i dont really like it either. this one, big me, and for all the cows are kind of eh to me. exhausted, ill stick around, weenie beenie, and wattershed are my favorite from this album
@whelmsmith William Goldsmith didn't do drums on ANY Foos albums actually, because during The Colour and the Shape, Dave didn't like his sound so Dave, Pat, and Nate went to a studio without William and re-recorded everything with Dave on drums. So Dave did drums on the first 2 albums and it has been Taylor Hawkins ever since.
