  • fuck!! really good song! i love the lyrics

  • The foo fighters have been part of my life for 8 years

    life well spent

  • You should change the thing that says most recent album.

  • temazo

    

  • How is it 2012 and this is the first time I've heard this song?

  • Comment removed

  • I can't stop listening this!

  • I'm actually sitting and listening to the best song i've ever heard ..

  • @RHCPfreak98 agree with you!

    This song is fucking awesome.

  • I wonna have a friend like dave

  • @TheLypik I think that every human being alive would like a friend like Dave. Suck...

  • one of the greatest band in my favorite page!

  • anyone notice how this sounds like the ending-ish pguitar melody of stone in love by journey? clever dave ;)

  • R.I.P. Kurt Cobain.

  • After Nirvana recorded Nevermind, Grohl went back to the D.C. area and recorded a handful of tracks that would appear on Pocketwatch, a cassette released by Simple Machines. For most of 1992 he was busy with Nirvana, but when the band stayed off of the road, he recorded solo material with Jones, who had moved to Seattle.

  • @RockMeBaby231 Cool story bro!

  • Comment removed

  • play it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yourepeat. com/watch/?v=63NiS3uZaTA

  • amazing song.

  • in my middle school there are tons of peeps who dnt no anybody who dnt no any one before 2000. im the only kid. so instead I say FOO FIGHT!!! everybody be lik wtf... r.i.p. kurt. and plz put an end to this modern crap.

  • @littlebirdy9 ????

  • this song MAKE ME CRY.

    Kurt cobain R.i.p :c

  • r.i.p kurt, this song is about you

  • @rockandgrunge no it's not.

  • Most people will complain to the fact that there's 36 thumbs down... I prefer to see the fact that as long as those 2,867 persons keep listening to this music and pas it on, the good music will leave on forever!

  • Im pretty sure at least 100k of those views are mine

  • Comment removed

  • Whoops lol the foo fighters are just better than nirvana...

  • @ELVISVANHALEN the only reason foo fighters are good because they have dave who was from nirvana

  • @rockandgrunge dave is a breathing legend. he needs not a single band to be awesome. but hey, talyor hawkins does deserve some credit though too. he's sick. listen to "have a cigar", a pink floyd cover they did. dave's on drums, and taylor is on the mic. whole line up is still awesome.

  • The foo fight age

  • 35 people think we should keep it alive....

  • Just wauw, Kurt was (is) my hero. Punk will never die.

  • I love this.

  • Dave said not a single foo fighters song is about Kurt. He didn't want to rehash the damage that had already been done

  • @oHJiqqy what about "friend of a friend"? that's clearly about kurt

  • @disc0papa well technically that song is a "Late!" song that he wrote when he first joined nirvana and was living with kurt. and he said during their Acoustic theater concert that the song WAS indeed about krist and kurt and the reason he decided to re-record it with FF was because if he had never written those first few acoustic songs they (foo fighters) wouldve never did the acoustic tour with all the new acoustic material he had done which led to "in your honor" etc.

  • @oHJiqqy I agree that people make that accusation way too much, but from what I've seen in Back & Forth, it seems like I Should Have Known partially talks about that.

  • this song isnt even about kurt, dave said so lol and thats coming from me, the worlds biggest nirvana fan

  • nevermind, it was my earbuds. I'm a dumbass.

    I love this song.

  • sounds like shit.

  • @cldrules If you want to think that, then go ahead. I doubt you could do better though, however. Also, I think you'll find most people will disagree with you. So fuck off of this video if you don't like it; no one wants you here...

  • R.I.P Kurt Cobaine

  • Dear Kurt cobain: why did you have to go and let it die?

  • A GREAT SONG MOTHERFUCKER LEEEEEET IT DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE

  • Kurt Cobain Tribute!!

  • If by 'it', you mean my sanity; then its because your song was insanely good.

  • No question,Dave is a great Rockstar,but I hate that he and Kurt are always compared.Kurt was a musician genius,there is no doubt.Dave is also a great musician,but they don't play in the same league.I have seen both bands live on stage,and the Nirvana shows where epic!While during the Foo concert every second had a Nirvana shirt,the crouw didn't get crazy like they have done this by Nirvana concerts.. that is just a fact.And that Kurt wrote all the Nirvana songs by himself says a lot about Dave!

  • Ok, I need to stop getting distracted and start on my homework.............. Okay maybe just one more song.

  • @Skytchery i do homework while i listen to foo fighters, green day, and linkin park

  • @dmcarefuldriver nice,im doing that right now lol

  • I MISS NIRVANA :(

  • @dazenst Why do you miss Nirvana? There music is still alive. Dave was just the drummer in Nirvana... this song is by THE FOO FIGHTERS. Even if Kurt didn't die, they could be in different bands now... and what's the difference when another band member goes and joins another famous band? Why should Dave Grohl have to always get shit about Nirvana? He is an extremely talented person, he's a fucking musician. This has NOTHING to do with Nirvana!!

  • oh word? I got both the top comments? that's what's up. Well, if you're a foo fan, add me i guess. glad to see people agree with me.

  • tell me sir, is it ownage when one person has both top comments?

  • @DLR407 who doesnt?

  • Is it just me or is this the most underrated song in history?

  • @hamburgermedost seriously bro wtf this song is incredible

  • @BastianHollow Yes I know... That's why I say it is UNDERrated which means that way more people should listen to this song because it's good enough to deserve more credit.

  • @hamburgermedost probably is...rock is dying we need to bring it back...i call for a massive ROCKOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!! for all the genre's of metal, rock, and anything that is for beliebers, rebecca blacks, gaga monsters (lolwtf?), and people who listen to crummy hip hop...

    the rockolution would be huge!!! first thing is to take back 92.3 krock to its original raw form...the form that played SLIPKNOT'S wait and bleed for many years

    BRING BACK ROCK!!!! ROCKOLUTION!!!!!

  • @joethatguyfromlife Rock didn't die, the good bands are just outnumbered by the bad ones.

  • @joethatguyfromlife Uh question my rock brother but I kinda prefer rock not in the mainstream that way we get to laugh at the mainsteam fools. And what do you call Sirius XM Octane is? As a great song and (former) great band once said, I WANNA BE THE MINORITY

  • @hamburgermedost i meant that isn't for the above beliebers and such....lol ISN'T IS NOT!!! IS NEVER FOR!!! sry

  • People need to stop raging on the comments and just listen to this great music

  • thanksgiven without my uncle is no thanksgiven

  • I love Foo Fighters! :D

  • why the hell wasnt this on their Greatest Hits cd

  • Comment removed

  • I was listening to this on my iPod on the bus riding home from school. While I was headbanging, someone took out my plugs and put plugs blasting with britney spears. I knocked their iPod out of there hand, put up the finger, and yelled "that stuff is BULLSH*T!!!"

  • Can we please stop mentioning Justin Bieber on EVERY damn music video on YT!?!?!?!?!?!?! The more you talk about him the more he stays relevent thus he will NEVER go the fuck away! STOP IT!

  • My favorite part's when Dave's like "Why'd you have to go and let it die!" and the other stuff.

  • I was hoping they would play this and DOA at the NJ concert yesterday. Oh well, still was a great concert.

  • Youtubes taste in music is disgusting. Only 700k views for a masterpiece like this, yet over 30 million for a crappy auto-tuned JB or other pop start song? Disgrace.

  • @leadballoon2 So it turnes out that quality of music ain't measured in number of views :)

  • @koobi180 I think quality and number of views has an indirect correlation.

  • @flamingcj1 That actually sound legit.

  • @koobi180 True, think about Justin bieber.

  • @leadballoon2 Also these auto-tuned untalented idiots are a disgrace to MJ by saying that they're "Pop artists".

    I'm not a huge fan of MJ but he was talented and a real pop artist.

  • @leadballoon2 to be fair Justin Bieber is not autotuned .. the kid can sing to an extent. I don't like him but still

  • @leadballoon2 30 million? more like 600million, fucktard.

  • BADASS FROM 2:40

  • @nirlutati1 Badass from 0:00

    

  • This song, with all its metaphor, describes (in my mind) my failed marriage. The intense edge at the end really harkens to the frustration and heartbreak I was plagued with at the end.....Anyway, cool song!

  • How about you all STFU and listen to the damn song, that IS why it is up isn't it?

  • Actually he indirectly said it was about Courtney Love but its more about 2 ppl fighting

  • who the hell dislikes this? Come on...

  • 3:09 I jumped im my room

  • Comment removed

  • Kurt Cobain, Courtney? whut?

  • It's funny how people see the title "Let It Die," and they automatically go to Kurt or Courtney. That just goes to show how small-minded people are. Another way to look at it is, "What kind of little bitch would write a song about that?" (considering that this would be directed at Courtney Love).

  • @TheTylerGeissler right, like I think he's intertwined Kurt references in some of his songs such as I Should've Known but even that one has a broader meaning. I have yet to find a Foos song that has been Confirmed as being solely about Kurt.

  • @TheEric1203 i have should of known on the newest album specifically about kurt

  • He was born to scream

  • listen to the guitar at 2:38 :D

  • @3796guitardude what else is there to listen to?

  • I really dont understand why they radio always plays pop music its allright but why cant the just play some REAL music like this i would be much more happy

    thumbs up if you agree

  • and finaly Orgasm for my ears. >:)

  • Cried when they played this tonight. <3 my absolute fav.

  • Orgasmique <3

  • every single fucking time i hear this song i burst into tears.

    this song is so so beautiful.

  • i believe that Justin Bieber has 34 Youtube profiles...

  • @23pepepepe and of course someone brings that kid into the picture, who cares about him, this is a foo fighters song, not justin bieber therefore he isnt relevant.

  • @nirvanafanas and I'm agree with u i love Foo fighters and Nirvana... but then... who are those 34 unlikes?

  • Love it so much, oh my God. It brings me to tears every time, and uncovers memories I didn't even know I had.

  • EVERYBODY SEARCH "dave grohl talks about kurt cobain"...DAVE PLAINLY STATES THAT THIS SONG (LET IT DIE) IS NOT ABOUT KURT OR COURTNEY. NOW EVERYBODY "LIKE" SO IT'S VISIBLE TO ALL THE DUMB ASSES WHO DON'T BELIEVE THAT DAVE HAS A BIGGER LIFE THAN JUST NIRVANA! I'M SICK OF EVERYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH KURT. CAN'T THE MAN WRITE ONE FUCKING SONG WITHOUT EVERYBODY BEING LIKE "UHHRRRR DAHHH KURT! 'BOUT HIM 'EN AWW DAT!" IDIOTS. LONG LIVE FOO FIGHTERS!!! caps off.

  • @DyerOfTheCentury i'd have liked this if you hadnt said "I'M SICK OF EVERYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH KURT." just can't agree with that.

  • @michaellovegrove no, don't get me wrong. nirvana and kurt are amazing parts of musical history in their own rights and aspects. but as any TRUE music fan, and ESPECIALLY if you're an aspiring musician (as i am) you still have to appreciate the fact that dave couldn't just die with nirvana. he made the choice to evolve. nirvana was his caterpillar. Foo Fighters is his butterfly. And I respect both stages of his evolution, which most definitely does include kurt as well.

  • @DyerOfTheCentury And then Them Crooked Vultures is when that butterfly fucked with beatle(QOTSA) and a ... Led Zepplin?

  • @Repav1 Led ZeppElin...don't mis-spell the best band of all time! :p and yes, crooked vultures. epic super-group.

  • @DyerOfTheCentury finaly someone who understands:D

  • @DyerOfTheCentury 100% agree

  • @DyerOfTheCentury - Is this rant about Kurt Cobain?

  • @DyerOfTheCentury Cool story bro. Umad?

  • @DyerOfTheCentury You can't blame people for thinking that it's about Kurt Cobain considering the lyrics. I could give you examples on almost half the song for what makes people think that, but I won't because I hope that you're smart enough to understand what lyrics people might relate to Kurt and Dave's relationship with him.

  • @Battezu i understand. but people should also do some knowledgeable research before they start making assumptions that they HOPE will be true. I did the research and I cleared it up. You should be thanking me for clearing it up for everybody who listens to this song, not telling me to be like every other dumbass whose commented on this video without thinking twice.

  • @DyerOfTheCentury I'm not telling you to be stupid, I'm just telling you to calm down and not type in all caps and call everybody stupid for thinking something that the person who /wrote the song/ knew everyone was going to think.

  • @Battezu lol ok...it's what majority of the people think. majority rules, at least enough to post what i did.

  • @DyerOfTheCentury GET THIS MAN A BEER

  • @BulletFrenzy543tall draft of bud, with a bowl of limes. Damn, you done got me craving...

  • @DyerOfTheCentury Wikipedia says otherwise: "Grohl indirectly admitted to the song being about Courtney Love in an interview in 2007." That is all.

  • Comment removed

  • @petitemasochist ya wikipedia said that. Wikipedia isnt always a very trustable source. THAT is all

  • @DyerOfTheCentury ITS ABOUT CREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • WHYD YOU HAVE TO GO AND LET IT DIIIIIEEEEE!!!!

  • @1994jrad that would Nirvana, of which Kurt was the lead singer.

  • This song has to do with Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. It was about their financial problems, drug use, and just their overall relationship

  • @HUA12312 *facepalm* i hate when people think every song is about Kurt

  • one of their best!

  • This song is about Kurt Cobain?

  • @007Monsteeer Noooooooooooooo this song has nothing to do with kurt its to do with a band that dave was part of that split up.

  • @1994jrad I have to disagree, I know he has said its not about Kurt but the lyrics speak for themselves. I think if he admitted to every song that didnt have a reference to Kurt in the earlier albums there would be alot. I think the song fits Kurt/Courtney perfectly I like to think he's talking to her at the end

  • In my opinion, I think he's talking about how Kurt let Nirvana die by pulling the trigger, and not about Kurt himself. I think this song is expressing anger towards Kurt. Why do I think this? Because 1. if it's talking directly about Kurt, who's he asking 'whyd you have to go and let it die' too? and 2. why is he referring to his best friend as "it"?

  • this song was wriiten and sung in the memory of kurt only for kurt...

    rip kurt...love your kurt...

    

  • SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC!

    ╭∩╮(︶︿︶)╭∩╮

    

  • @sicknature2012 Shut up and stop using unoriginal comments. <3

  • segun entendi ayer esta cancion la dedica a la esposa de kurt kobain "dejale morir..." muy buena

  • Dear Dislikers,

    Look at the dislike bar

    then youre penis

    not much differnce...........

  • @jugernot0 Dear "jugernot",

    Look at the dislike bar

    Then your understanding of the English language.

    Not much difference...

  • @therealWesley dear i like dick screw off and fuck your granny once more because the only other thing you have to do is comment on shit that no one ever wanted you to comment on........

  • @jugernot0 You're telling me not to comment on shit that no one ever wanted me to comment on, yet you took the time to type out a generic comment that no one cared to see? Notice how the only reply you received was constructive criticism? Maybe you should take a hint. Also, you aren't proving anything here by expressing unattributed rage other than your immaturity and utter lack of social skills.

  • You're so considerate! :D love that part :)

  • SoaD

  • good song don't like the screaming bit at the end

  • Thank You!

  • switch between this, Ozzy's song and the Three Days Grace song (same titles) for mood swings..... all great songs, nothing like one another

  • Kurt Cobain ♥

  • Comment removed

  • dont live life in the fear of love , live life in the love of fear..... thats what i thoought during this song :P

  • i think this is their best song...it should be more recognized!!

  • I think this song is about a friend longing for the memory of a friend that left him very alone in this world. Grohl wrote a whole album by himself to deal with the death of his friend

  • its a bitch that u cant have this song in a playlist ..

  • @WatchMovies94 imlistning to this in a foo fighters playlist right now soooo yeah.....

  • @jakeisagamer y we get it you pervert

  • maybe their best song.. at least one of their very best

  • Me lembra quando investimos em algo e parece ser em vão.

  • FUCK COURTNEY LOVE !

  • @Dose108 what does courtney love have to do with anything? Dave Grohl HIMSELF said that it was not about courtney love and kurt cobain. 

  • @allierzeznik95 she's still a bitch

  • This song comes second if you type "let it die" to a three days grace song.... what has the world come to?

  • Dave Grohl <3

  • RIP Kurt Cobain<3

  • @greg9178 this isn't for curt tho :S
