personally, i like the foo version better, in my personal opinion the deep dark grunge sound makes the song more intensem while the synth-pop style of prince just makes it sound like a joke... figured i'd through that out here...
@knownasnick Of course, to each our own, but the Prince version is cooler than this. More minimalist, a better rum track, better vocals... and just weirder
ha ha ha. My girls name is nikki so I keep singing this song to her. It pisses her off but it is still funny as hell ever time i play it next to her. HA HA NIKKI!!!! OHHH NIKKI

if prince does not like that foo's covered his song, then who's he to say?
i mean foo's covered many songs ( even led zeppelin and queen songs with parts of the bands they cover to play along with them) it's a form of respect, and due
the reason Prince did a cover of Best of You was because he hates there cover so to get back at the Foo Fighters he did Best of You and tried to do a bad job at it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This cover is the worst kind. It doesn't try to stray far enough from the original, and these guys just can't do it like Prince does it. Do your own style next time.
@Clandestinemonkey A "Cover" is a tribute to a song...something they wish they wrote or respect. ALL who put this down remember that, that this is a group paying homage to a great song
@handsmlake Just because they tried real hard doesn't mean I have to like it. A good cover should show the band's style as they tribute the song, not just a knockoff of the original sound. Look up Locust's cover of "Master and Servant" for a good example.
@Sceneqirlrawrr This song kicks ass and rocks, especially live. It completely baffles me how this could make you like foo fighters LESS. You must not have liked them much in the first place.
Has no clue what he is talking about. Here is the F. Fighters stating that Prince's the "Best of you" was better than theirs!
"I mean, the thought went through my head that maybe he was doing it as a sort of 'F--- you' to us, or maybe he really likes the song. Either way, it was pretty amazing to have a guy like Prince covering one of our songs — and actually doing it better than we did." - Taylor Hawkins
@JHall1294 Has no clue what he is talking about. Here is the F. Fighters stating that Prince's the "Best of you" was better than theirs!

@jamaeva Oh, man. A band being humble? They like Prince, and they aren't gonna sit there and rip his cover. But his sounds like shit. Taylor is just being a good, humble dude, which all the foos are. You are a dumbass.
wow...This is possibly the best cover I have heard of ANY artiest...and Prince is a hard dude to cover...BIG KUDOS to FF!! WOOO!! that was flippin AWESOME!!
This was the greatest cover ever. Its a hot song anyway, but damn he adds to the hottness...and makes it hotter? If that makes sense... And...hes god on his guitar.
Definitely "funny" version (at least for them). But it doesn't have the feeling, the charismatic harmonic evolution, neither the INSANE double bass drum at the end of the original tune.
Prince definitely made the sound of a spiteful heart with this song.
ambience... subtlty... sensuality... this cover lacks all of those; to be perfectly honest. And this is coming from a person (me) who fuckin' loves the Foo Fighters.
Prince probably doesn't want this released because he is a born again Christian now and he swears off all his older songs.....a shame really, such classics.
@NoCalMike Agreed. When I first heard that because of his religion he'd never play a huge portion of his catalog ("Nikki" included), I was rather sad.
this is retarded, no one can sing this like prince and definitely not the foo fighters, he sounds like he is choking on his microphone and gargling listerine... how frkn stupid...
Great cover, Prince did an awesome cover of Best of You at the Super Bowl. But to not allow the release of this in the US is rather silly. Maybe Bob Dylan should sue Prince for playing All ALong the Watch Tower at the superbowl.
No, it's Prince that cares...Especially since he owns the rights to his music...He is just picky about who uses his music, as well he should be! lol...(Trey Songz anyone?!)
From what I've heard it isn't Prince that cares about people using his songs it's the company that he signed with. Prince has covered many songs and I doubt he would do one out of spite, although possible. At any rate this is a decent cover and atleast noteworthy.
I always loved this song. Best thing about this version, they didn't change it too much. They definitely left their own touch on it, but this is basically Prince's version. Nice job.
I loved this song when I first heard the remix! Its an awesome turn on a old, but good song. Bummed that he wouldn't let them release it and since then its disappeared, a little hard to find.
@vodkat22 ...my point...Prince wrote the song and it meant something to him....so his will be what it wsa supposed to be.....BUT Foo did the song justice in this cover
There is no such thing as a better version than Prince's, but this is cool and I like it. Foo Fighters know how to properly cover great songs with respect. Watch "Band on the Run". Another great example.
Dave is a nice guy he is my friends son and a stand up dude back off mudafkkeers can you even sing? lmao... i am guessing not so shut the fk up.... Prince is amazing and will not sell out like Neil and others he holds his music close... peace outis
with this version, Grohl makes me believe that Nikki really was as nasty as all that. Makes me want to jump out of my life and BE NIKKI--if only for about 20 minutes or so. HOT!!!
Great job... But NO WAY IN HELL this is better than the ORIGINAL version of PRINCE!!! I could this same version if any bar in NEW YORK!!! PRINCE version is stupid sick!!!
I love the Prince version but I like the Foo Fighters one better. I'm not saying they're better or worse than Prince, but I just feel like the song 'fits' more with the Foo Fighters; it feels more natural. But that's just my opinion, Prince is awesome too!
Great song, but I wish the camera man had followed whoever was playing the lead bit at the end. Dave was just playing the rhythm. It's sort of funny to hear a rapid bunch of notes only to see Dave strumming chords.
Is it weird I like both versions? 'Cause people can't seem to just chill and listen.

Great rendition... the original was awesome when it first landed back in '84, and these guys have totally brought it in to the 21st century!
Grohl rules... and Shiflett ripped it up -- awesome!!!

I love the Prince version but I like the Foo Fighters one better. I'm not saying they're better or worse than Prince, but I just feel like the song 'fits' more with the Foo Fighters; it feels more natural. But that's just my opinion, Prince is awesome too!

Somebody needs to do this kick-ass song live since Prince is now a Jehovas Witness and wont play it anymore! No more Cream,Erotic City....etc.....

Great song, but I wish the camera man had followed whoever was playing the lead bit at the end. Dave was just playing the rhythm. It's sort of funny to hear a rapid bunch of notes only to see Dave strumming chords.
