[Ninjaginga88]

franz looks like chris here

[achtungbaby28]

when you see those tracksuit bottoms you know its the 90s

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

best foos lineup

[RenjiLambrusco]

What guitar is the DaVE'ster using?

[RazoSG]

@RenjiLambrusco He's using a GIbson SG.

[RenjiLambrusco]

@RazoSG thanks

[trapspot921]

I believe this was daves song to his dead friend and former band mate KURT DONALD COBAIN

[groovey65]

@trapspot921 No he's stated in hundreds of interview it wasn't, I think it was about some local guy in virginia everyone knew and looked up to.

[sbzombie99]

franz!

[MrJoe1928]

what is he doing at 0:13

[guitarlover31011]

@MrJoe1928 hes trying to create feed back

[MrJoe1928]

@guitarlover31011 how do you do that on a guitar, i wanna learn

[Blackbeltjawa]

@MrJoe1928 A lot of distortion and high volume. Usually holding your guitar by your amp will create some form of feedback

[TheJerryw08]

These Cats are Incredible. God I love them what a great band. I so miss Nirvana so much but its so good the see Dave with such a great group of Cats. He is one of my Heroes.

[MrJoe1928]

nte played the same bass 10 years later at live earth

[ChenaniahDrummer]

I swear they play every song fast live..

[MrJoe1928]

@ChenaniahDrummer theyre not even playing it fast

[alternativegrunge91]

dave was ambitious......kurt cobain was his vehicle ride.....when thats over he jump ship and literally copy kurt cobain playing style, writing, melodic, humour, ect...need i go more??

i like the foos too BUT the foos and  DAVE has become too arena rock bands ....theyr like reo speedwagon and journey type of bands.....which is kinda dissappointing....

[RicochetMaru]

@alternativegrunge91 He is nothing like Kurt, he has his own style, and he never copied anything Kurt. You don't deserve that username.

[cityisonfire1]

@alternativegrunge91 haha, you know nothing about talent, genre, writing and well anything else for that matter.

[alternativegrunge91]

@cityisonfire1 ..i know well enough not to have stupid nickname as cityisonfire...or rather your azzonfire...

[kage1979]

I loved the Friday Night show back before good internet and no cable for us at the time it was the only way to get the latest videos back then. To bad they did away with it. That show is the reason I first started liking the foo fighters when they played monkey wrench.

[SpiralsHappen]

Don't the best of them bleed it out, while the rest of them peter out.

Kurt godspeed

[youkids123]

Really cool!

[manhuntruler2]

these guys been playing for years man. I wonder how musicians in bands get a long for 15 + years, and also Play around the world that long.

I love playing drums and all but damn, i'd probably get sick of it and go psycho lol.

[Niall675]

@manhuntruler2 They don't get along all the time. They almost broke up back when Dave was playing drums with the queens of the stone age. Look at all the different guitarists they've had as well. Nate the bass player almost left the band back when they were becoming big.

[manhuntruler2]

@Niall675 I know, i saw the Movie ;D!

[roryando]

I wish taylor played the tom intro :(

[WytLite666]

OH MY GOD, Franz Stahl o.o

[AcctNo4]

Barack Obama is my hero- but I'll probably be lambasted for saying that.

[brianjmattingly]

@AcctNo4 pretty much dude, I mean...come on...

[brianjmattingly]

our best bet is not republican or democrat, it's to GTFO while we still can.

[paulvenkman]

Nate is on stage right, man that is so weird! I love watching all these old videos with Franz Stahl in because I only became a Foo Fighters fan when they brought out 'One by One' album and it's interesting to hear different versions of the track.

[vincesabin]

no auto tune. That's real music right there!!

[achmedda3rd]

98??? I thought that this was a 2005 song! When they remade the times like these video I was so confused bcos it said 2008

[Thedarklistener92]

@achmedda3rd

It's off the second record, the colour and the shape from 1997.

[DavinciBeatz100]

2 people look stupid in track pants

[TheSuberJebus14]

Daves the only person that can get away with wearing track pants at a gig.

[aaa567ify]

@TheSuberJebus14 I think I had a magazine with Jonathon Davis wearing green form of track pants. He can wear just about anything though. That's what rock is all about.

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

@TheSuberJebus14 hey man it was the 90s

[musiconfigure]

Rock n Roll Marathon 2011 in San Diego-band Pullman Standard sang "My Hero" song for the runners. They sang it awesome------------and we needed that song at mile 16!!! it's on YouTube and definitely worth listening to.

PEACE

[wiggpusha]

they sound good live.

[Shirboo07]

2 people need a hero

[SteamProVidz]

I like Taylor, but the original drums to this are actually significantly better, and much harder to play. Taylor's version has always been a watered down version. Maybe Grohl or the producer wanted it that way. Sounds fine, but different. Goldsmith underrated.

[beanboyo]

@SteamProVidz As much as like Goldsmith he didn't play on ANY albums. All the drumming for The Colour and The Shape was re-done by Grohl, Goldsmith got pissed and left, can't blame him really, as much as I love Dave.

[Skoog13]

@SteamProVidz i disagree. tho the drums on the record was made by dave, he rerecorded all the drums on the album ;p

[MrJDinop]

Franz!!

[ThePremadeNoodles]

the bass player plays like a guitar

[vivalaspam13]

@ThePremadeNoodles The bassist is an almost exclusive pick bassist, that might be the reason why he looks like hes playing like a guitarist. Maybe :)

[20sk]

Those guys are MY HEROES !!!

[AaronTheJoker420]

I dont see why every single band speeds up every single song in every single performance EVER

[5oulPower]

@AaronTheJoker420 its a natural thing, when you're high on your music performing it. You'll know if you've ever performed music.

[AaronTheJoker420]

@5oulPower i have in fact played music live before. I play drums for a band, and i personally always make it a priority to keep the tempo steady, but not totally robotic at the same time

[5oulPower]

@AaronTheJoker420 wow you gotta have really good concentration not to speed things up a lil when you're high lol.

[dannybighair]

I know this is an obvious comment, but Dave Grohl is my hero. He is not ordinary.

[fc2mccrary]

2 people are not of this world and don't know what good music is!

[heellogoodbyeslow]

this is really rare i havent seen franz stahl (of scream) in a foo vid before

[xxleandraxx1]

classic <3 i love dave

[717rch]

tits

[kint94]

like if you think dave looks like robert downey jr in this

[fishfinga]

the drummers my hero

[JuditasDude]

I wonder why they changed the bridge, they simplified it and I really like the original way

[5oulPower]

@TheGrocer2020 you can easily get it by purchasing a ori Fender Precision bass and using a pick....

[Kergleful]

I'd say Dave Grohl looks like Chuck Norris.

[fattyifalive]

@Kergleful No Chuck Norris looks like Dave Grohl.

[lovewoman781]

i love this song, it rocks...

[daveyb696]

Great song. Check-out the version by Trihouse.

[Mcpanicfanic]

God damn! I cant think of one band nowadays that will be just as popular as they were 10 years ago, but Foo Fighters are still huge and this performance was over 12 years ago. So sad. They are amazing. So much staying power.

[TurkishMan8594]

@Mcpanicfanic thats so true

[gh0stmasta]

Their drummer is looks like a combination of Kurt Cobain and Wes Scantlin

[Watrmln]

@gh0stmasta The only thing similar is the long blonde hair really..His name's Taylor Hawkins btw look up his side project pretty good, Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders.

[BambooShadowGER]

@gh0stmasta i'd say their drummer looks like taylor hawkins!!

[DanzeluoTheGreat]

@gh0stmasta Their drummer, thats taylor motherfuckin hawkins

[BeatlezFish69]

@gh0stmasta I'd say he looks more like a combo of Kurt Cobain and Chuch Norris xD

[MrKyleis18]

I always found it ironic how the drummer has kurt cobain features, nothing big but it's worth noticing

[AdamLupercio]

This was originally on "The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno" - the "Friday Night" show was notorious from picking/editing performances from other NBC shows and just simply pasted their logo over the video feed.

[JohnnySceneTM]

I wish i could like this a billion times just soo epic

[sinsplustragedies]

this song is legendary

[nicolaslupano]

for young dudes dave used to play in nirvana and he invented this kind of druming

[corpsemunger]

@nicolaslupano hell no, Dave was influenced by people like Jon Bonham,



[mloaks]

no wonder Kirk blew his mind,,, yuk

[DWarrior4]

dave grohl is the shit and so is taylor

[rikuparagus706]

Soo Im watching this video for like ever and I start to talk about why the hell does Chris Shiflet look so different only to realize its William Goldsmith. -__-

[rikuparagus706]

@rikuparagus706 I also love how I just epic failed and called Franz Stahl the old rummer for the Foo's XD

[JuditasDude]

@rikuparagus706 ULTRA LOL. Don't worry, we all fail from time to time

[corpsemunger]

@rikuparagus706 haha snap, that was exactly my thought process

[Bestiboy123]

the bassist looks stoned :D

[PopExpo]

this is probably the best version i've seen them play..... it not all butt rock they play it now

[cavsmom14]

This song i dedicated to my son Eric Lighthill who is a soldier in the Army working on the Apache helicopters....he is MY HERO!!!! Great song!

[crazedfan7589]

thank god they got pat smear and then shiflett. the guy here sucks. stahl or something i think.

[hanusanus666]

@crazedfan7589

yeah he's pretty shit all round, he used to play in a band with grohl playing drums back in the day. He might be the bassist's brother?

[kylelikesducks]

@hanusanus666 No he's not the bassist Brother- He was just a close friend of Grohly's. He only had any music input on one Foo fighters song- A320 the b-side song for Godzilla soundtrack. He left cuz he wasn't going the same way the rest of the band wanted to go for 'There is Nothing Left To Lose'. Dave cried apparently when he kicked him out.

[hanusanus666]

@kylelikesducks yeah you're right, their old band was called wool i think?

[dkitty8124]

rock n grohl

[cenation2810]

@dkitty8124 Holy Grohly!

[1rewd1]

I like how Taylor changed up the tom pattern from the original. Both are good but I kinda dig this one better.

[petervischiofilm]

the drumming in this song is fucking amazing.

[1rewd1]

@petervischiofilm I know my right leg gets tired when I play it, lol.

[petervischiofilm]

i wish i owned a set.

[tman0119]

dave looks mexican hah

[sondershausen91]

Taylor plays the drums freakin insane!!!

[mugsygirl288]

I LOVE this song and I wish that they played it like this live again. They always do it acoustic now which I like but there is just something about the kick ass drums at the opening of this song that I miss when they do it acoustic now. Still LOVE them though... keep on rocking!

[serher]

Mr. Grhol on sorts suit. Go, Dave go!

[TheElephant79]

Whos the second Guitarist here... oh what its Franz Stahl.

[Blackberryman67]

omg they were all so young lol

[teh1owner]

Yea lol. If Dave hadn't started to smoke, he'd be still looking young.

[MrPeterGroove]

dave started smoking when he was 15. so what?I think it looks awesome even now at almost41years

[Hooklineansinker]

soild!

[alteruser88]

i FINALLY understand how to play the drum part after watching this vid. haha. AWESOME

[VISHMAN14]

i thought the drums were really hard when i first heard this song.but they really arent. just nake sure you get enough kick drum in there.

[alleballebajs]

that isn't chris shifflet?

[bassist13]

No, Franz Stahl

[v11drummer]

Why is Taylor playing with Orange County drums?

[jamesdrum77]

holy shit, thats weird, he doesnt play orange country drums.. and have never played OC drums

[rwattel]

Yeah, that's weard indeed.. Well I just hope he now will stay with Tama, because Tama freakin' ROCKS ^^

[vanhalen021]

he hasnt been with tama for years now

[WelcomeToTheJungle31]

Nate looks likes hes about to jizz his pants

[jayamy94grohl]

THIS VERSION IS DAMN GOOD!!!!!!

best live-version!!!!!!

<33333

Best Band in the world

FF 4 EVER!!!!!!!!!<33333333

[guitarnick914]

was Franze fired or did he just quit?

[bassist13]

he was "released from the band" so I guess you could say he was fired.

[drummerdude1411]

nates on a diffrent side!! :S:S :L:L

[augsteyr]

Damn Taylor hits those drums hard.

[ramblinwreck413]

That's how drums should be played

[JuditasDude]

@ramblinwreck413 I think you start playing that way when you just don't have to buy your own cymbals and drum skins anymore. Either way, it sounds and looks incredible

[RockArriba]

@ramblinwreck413

Yea

[shutdownplay]

jesus christ outstanding!!!!!!!!!!

[HaloBeagle]

foo's used to be so good in concert...i saw em like 2 years ago...werent as good as they used be, still one of my favorite bands and still really good though

[rockabillychickee]

there goes my hero

[threshers1234]

holy sweat pants!

[LallaveGuestHouse2]

best band ever!

[sharty5000]

theres only one shot of nate in the whole thing...

[crazedfan7589]

wow this was a long time ago

[jesusdapnk1]

this is really good but daves voice sounds is going to fast he was probably nervous or something but overall its perfect

[syracuse9898]

franz stahl

[dizzlemoneybagz]

I love the intro.

[VISHMAN14]

they sound good here but this song was meant to be played in a stadium with all those people singing along

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

Nice! Never seen this one. Thanks.
