Certainly, covering is a sign of respect, but it doesn't mean anyone is obliged to ignore any problems they have with the song. Most probably couldn't explain it, but their problem is likely the mere fact that isn't Pink Floyd. Here are my problems: the way it's sung here misses the idea in the original of portraying a music industry executive, forgoing that and replacing it with an unremarkable voice and tone. It also feels rushed. Damned comment limit.
@TehMountainMan The new pace, I'd argue, doesn't seem to have any chemistry with the composition, particularly those four motifs played throughout the song with a synthesizer in the original. Overall, the mood set by this version doesn't lend itself well to the subject matter, nor the song composition.
As a professional musician, I think it the mark of great respect and praise to put this song out, it must have made a mark on someone in the band as they developed musicaly to the point where they have basically said "thanks pink floyd, you have writen some great music and my way of showing that you have affected me is to pay tribute to you", love it or hate it they made it their own and personally, I think it's great, the Floyd version is great. They are however diferent and that's great too.
i'm a huge ff fan, but honestly, i have to admit that they could use a better lead guitarist. it would drastically improve the bands dynamics if they found the right guy.
for as much hate as the song gets, i find it to be an interesting twist to a absolute classic. it's difficult to take another person's song and make it a completely new sound without murdering the melody( or beat). Is it better than the original? no, but its still one of the best floyd covers i've heard.
The video description is priceless. It tells the trolls to shut the fuck up before they can even start! I totally agree, though. If I didn't WANT to hear the cover, I wouldn't have SEARCHED for the cover. Pink Floyd is awesome, the original of this song is awesome, and the cover by the Foo is its own unique form of, you guessed it, awesome.
Pink Floyd are so distinctive and one-of-a-kind, there is no point just copying them if you are going to cover them (unless you are a tribute band :-)), and of course the cover will never be as good as the original. So it takes a good artist to be able to carry off a half-decent cover of Pink Floyd. Think Wyclef Jean's cover of "Have a nice day" - will never match the original version, but I for one like it. Same here. Go Foo Fighters.
the thing to remember about covers aswell is that they are covering this song because they love pink floyd as much as all of and have obviously found them influential in some way, covering this song in their own style is their way of paying homage to a great band. i just think it's important for people to remember that before ripping this to shreads. I love it, it think its fucking awsome by the way. xo
really cool interpretation, i like it alot, definately foos style, and Taylor has some serious pipes my god! sounds different to how he sings with the coat tail riders. sounding awsome as ever <3 thanks heaps for posting!
@georgew1100 Actually riding the gravy train means catching a break (in this context, as a successful band) - With that being said, I agree with you. Pink Floyd's original was so mellow, this cover hurts my face.
I love Pink Floyd. It's my favourite band. I would say: WTF??, but only if this cover was made by some other bands, maybe in rap or hip hop mood. But Foo Fighters? They are good, and I like them... Yep this cover is nice.
This is terrible. The laid back vibe that Pink Floyd has on this song is what makes it. This version is too rushed and straightforward. I do like Taylor Hawkins voice though.
Far to heavy. The Foo fighters shouldn't do covers, they are just to.....to mediocre. They play their own generic heavy rock boredom, fair enough. But don't plague other songs with it! The greatness which is pink floyd does not deserve this. There is actually nothing good to say about this cover unfortunately. They didn't even attempt a decent guitar solo ending!
the original vocal artist on this track was Roy Harper, a folk singer. he was selected because roger Waters didnt have the sustain, and david Gilmour didnt have the range. He got barely anything for his eforts
@ozzietube61 Sorry, but you're wrong. Roy Harper was brought in because Roger strained his voice recording Shine On You Crazy Diamond (probably because he sucks as a vocalist) and David declined to sing. I don't know where you got the idea that David didn't have the range, even to this day he had more range than Roger ever did.
pink floyd is like a band of gods to me and my favorit bad of all time and to see this cover? well ive seen alot of pbands blow pink floyd covers and this one i just love. its just great to see them put their own twist on it and not completely blow it up. good job
@777beatlefan why is Pink floyd better then Foo fighters ? It's logical, dossn't even need an explanation.
Why does Metallica, System of a down, Foo fighters, Korn, Marilyn manson, scissor sisters, All Cover Pink Floyd, Why diddn't Pink floyd ever do a cover them self ? why diddn't The beatles make Covers ? why do people cover them instead ?
haha Blind people, Faceless Mass's you'r all naive and suckers for Cheap shit keep buying into mainstream^^
@mukkohaha What on earth are you talking about with that Faceless masses mainstream mumbo jumbo? And check your facts. Six of the 14 tracks on The Beatles first album, Please Please Me, were credited to other musicians, or covers (remakes, whatever) in a sense.
Anyways. Love the Floyd, like the Foo Fighters, sounds like they were havin' fun jam out a classic. Right on.
Big Pink Floyd fan here, not much into the foo fighters; As far as Floyd covers go I thought this was decent. I generally don't like many Floyd covers, and while I personally probably wouldn't buy this, I think it's cool that they added their own sound to it while still remaining decently faithful to the original. Thought the singer did a great job on it. Pretty good effort imo.

The original is amazing and should be treated as such but lets just put this in perspective the Foo Fighters did a good job and i judge it not on how there cover compares to the original by Pink Floyd but by how it compares to other songs the Foo Fighters played and when you look at it like that you can see more clearly that its good
anyone in a band knows that if your going to do a cover especially a classic like this you don't do it exactly like the original. you do the song your way. first it should help not having haters judge you AS MUCH. and second your playing the song use your own sound. SCREW ALL YOU HATERS! and taylor hawkins sang perfectly.
@mcnutt6608 exactly, foo fighters make lots of cover, and they make it how they fuckin' want, and if u don't like it, they give a shit. great cover, so foos
I heard this before the original and i think the rule of what you heard first is better applies here... like how i heard raffertys baker street first then the foos cover. Rafferty won that by far
Turbojunk, Roger Waters didn't sing the original either. He was supposed to, however he was unable to sing it due to strained vocal cords. A non member of the band sang it, Roy Harper sang it for Pink Floyd.
Good cover! doesn't matter if original is better or not. The important is: this one is good! who said that cover must be better? it have just to be different I don't think we need to compare. Pink Floyd is good but Foo Fighters are also good. But different bands! And I think it's ok and interesting to listen differents versions of the same song.
I absolutely love this cover. I don't think anyone other than Roger Waters will ever sing it with as much scathing contempt as he did on WYWH, but this Foo's version is as a bloody good listen.
Great cover, but as always... the original is better.

anyone in a band knows that if your going to do a cover especially a classic like this you don't do it exactly like the original. you do the song your way. first it should help not having haters judge you AS MUCH. and second your playing the song use your own sound. SCREW ALL YOU HATERS! and taylor hawkins sang perfectly.

I heard this before the original and i think the rule of what you heard first is better applies here... like how i heard raffertys baker street first then the foos cover. Rafferty won that by far

Turbojunk, Roger Waters didn't sing the original either. He was supposed to, however he was unable to sing it due to strained vocal cords. A non member of the band sang it, Roy Harper sang it for Pink Floyd.

Good cover! doesn't matter if original is better or not. The important is: this one is good! who said that cover must be better? it have just to be different I don't think we need to compare. Pink Floyd is good but Foo Fighters are also good. But different bands! And I think it's ok and interesting to listen differents versions of the same song.

I absolutely love this cover. I don't think anyone other than Roger Waters will ever sing it with as much scathing contempt as he did on WYWH, but this Foo's version is as a bloody good listen.

Roger Waters didn't sing it nor did David Gilmour.
Roy Harper sang this song in studio with Pink Floyd
