[thetm102]

who is this dude? he's quite good!

[SoaringTacos]

Wait! wait! wait! go back to the cheerleaders butts!!!

[cikuwat]

34 guys had a boner watching this.

[mrbehindthemustache]

1:18 is also awesome :D 

[Left2GameLTU]

if anyone could tab this, i would fuck them

[adamsnindy1]

This cover BLOWS!!!!!!! If you're gonna cover Dave Grohl then at least do it justice and don't hack it up!!!!

[sarahcheer901]

one of my favorite songs... hes amazing.... this was perfectionn<3

[jerichasmith]

wow i didnt expect to see him cover foo fighters. i love the foo fighters but i dont really know a lot about david cook or his music...not bad

[venusgirl926]

One of my favorite songs...never saw this version before! ; ) Wonderful!

[Remixsification]

gotta love 3.37 :D

[schwill81]

you guys talk alot of shit but hes on stage making dollar bills banging hot chicks ur at home flippin between his videos and porn with ur hands down ur pants

[chanelvanderwoodsen]

@schwill81

I'm sorry, he's doing what? "Banging hot chicks"? I'm sure David would really appreciate you talking about him like he's some douchebag pimp.

Watch your god damn words when talking about somebody you don't even know.

[haziqakif]

@schwill81 too bad you don't have your hands down your pants.. cos YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHIN' IN THERE! :)

[DRCFFL]

No, David Cook is absolutley amazing here.

[dedinthehead]

He's got guts to perform to those girls.

[saintguitars]

Ok... This guy is talented.... BUT His changes to the song are annoying. He fucked up the lyrics and changed some of the key tones that make the song what it is.

[imadude123124]

@saintguitars he put his own spin on it.

[mariamaia77]

LINDA MUSICA.

[whitetalebowhunter]

best part of video is between 1:18-1:30 when u get to look at all them sweet asses......besides that its an ok cover,

[CindyJane54]

@dyledw I think you misunderstood me dickhead. I adore DC's version and was defending him. You need to go fuck yourself you moron.

[hippychickthatrocks]

Hate this alot

He fucking killed this song

I love that song to

thanks hahahah

[abacoinfinito]

ai ai ai ui ui ui

[drummerman2210]

come on is 1:18 - 1:30 really necessary......grow up

[scottrolen27mvp]

@drummerman2210 it is what it is, buddy.

[Karatespast]

the cheerleaders are the best yep :)

[JTarver295]

Well, you had my attention up until 1:18...then I kinda got distracted. Nice cover, but I'm still partial to the original. I did enjoy the little improvs here and there on the playing. Nicely done.

[tll34iscool]

David Cook does an excellent job with this. I would say even better than the original and I'm a big FF fan

[hurricaneskies]

no. no. no. you aren't a foo fighters fan. this cover isn't bad but it certainly doesn't compare to the original

[spurfan20]

I know that comparisons will always be made to the original, but don't rip him for doing the song for whatever reason. Not a whole lot of good music out there today anyway, let him pay homage to the good stuff.

[erikm1998]

He's covering this song to honor his older brother who fought brain cancer for over a decade. (His brother has since passed away since this performance.) I know some think that FF and Dave Grohl are pretty much untouchable and shouldn't be covered (blah blah blah), but sometimes it's not really about FF or Dave Grohl. The lyrics are pretty much on point, don't you think? I can understand why he covered it. I thought it was very good.

[rice090]

He's got a great voice but I'm not really a fan of this arrangement. I guess I'm too used to the original, lol.

[slakchen4ever]

LEFTY HANDED ,FTW :D

[geetarbube]

cheerleaders are cool.......

[samdathi]

This is 100 times better than the acoustic version Dave Grohl does. I know that people have a reflex reaction to hate on anyone from X Faxtor, or anyone who does a cover of a classic, but talent is talent. Cook has a beautiful voice. And this is great acoustic arrangement. Period.

[Theillusion1able]

@samdathi

dave grohl's version is muchchchhchh better!!!!

[scottrolen27mvp]

@samdathi alright i agree with everything minus '100 times better.' that's subjective buddy ;) it would be more accurate to say 'In my opinion..' ;)

[pownchito]

nice chicks

[DannySmithThe]

This guy sucks so bad,

I don't understand why people feel to put a twist on a song?

It is perfect with Dane Grohl.

[iSdTuEnVoE]

david cook is amazing.

but i do not like his arrangement

and DAVE Grohl is amazing and one of my main influences as a musician. but david cook is amazing as well.

[edboy45]

Dont even try to compare him to Dave!

Dave grohl is a legend, an exelent musician, and the vocalist of one of the best bands in the world.

David cook is good, but not good as dave.

[87465678]

it was good... but dave grohl of course does it better because he did the original.

[smackdaddy542]

lol fuck, he ruined such a good song! its hes ordinary, not its ordinary

[sumchicknamedGabby]

Ha. I'm liking the little harmonic thing going on there.

[bejayful]

It's the VOICE! Love it, but of course It's DC, love him.

[iC00Ler]

lefty!!!!!!

[mugatu20]

he never will be like dave grohl...¬¬ dave is the one ...! it's a fac....!!!

[FakeASmile90]

Very nice.

[OCgirliechick]

I never saw this before! David Cook has an amazing voice I love love his voice!

[HighNflY]

good guitar bad vocals

[CindyJane54]

Isn't the idea of a cover to put your own spin on the song? Otherwise it would just be a copy. If you want to hear the original then go listen to foo fighters.

[leonidus1989]

he playes it differently than dave grohl if you pay close attention to the notes hes playing as aposed to grohl but still he should be making his own songs covers is something people play at bars to make more money :/

[dyledw]

@CindyJane54

it's called a tribute fuck head. and a song does not always need to be changed, some songs are better left unaltered. He puts a spin on it just by singing it, if i wanted to hear the foo fighters sing i would've listened to them -_- but I like his voice better. gtfo

[AritziaXSarah]

@CindyJane54 Yeah but, its still a bad one. He singing doesnt suite the song. The chorus is suposed to be powerful but , hes too soft.

[brainman75]

I love the take on all cheerleaders butts ;)

[emberlon]

I'm obligated to agree with this gentleman.

[MoparMan1216]

why do people have to redo and remake foo fighter songs????? they are pretty much untouchable songs............

[GrayMajor7]

I agree with you

[luvpeaceandrocknroll]

It's a way of honoring the song. I don't think anyone covers a song thinking that they are singing it better than the original singer can.

[crazyoldkurdt]

he ruined the song, go ahead thumbs down, reply and tell me to shut up. but this is my opinion. so u STFU!

[oldschoolwaverider]

class!! good version obviously more musically challenging than the original I love the original too tho but they are both completely different dunno how you are all arguing about it!! superb zoom out!!! (no one can argue with that!!!)

[phinox7]

a nice take on a great song

[lolobkc]

Oh and nice shot of the Chiefs cheerleaders' butts.

[artw0rk]

very sweet.

[lolobkc]

I was there and it rocked. I found the original song and fell in love with it several months after this occured but imagine my excitment when i realized david covered it then? love this version. DC is the capital of rock :)

[domingues93]

This is good.. why r u people fuckin saying that he sucks at this song? u must have some problems hearing! cause i can hear perfectly and what i hear is good music and a good musican and if u dont like David why are you looking up his videos?! theres no point doing that ! he changes the song by doing it his way so i would be talking.. like u can do better please!

[Kevindavis08]

I think all the little girls are still disappointed that David Archuleta didn't win. They've got their jonahs brothers now.

Musicians are artists so I would expect some art and not a copy. Even the foo fighters change up the song when they play concerts.

[Lilibethc2002]

Great arrangement of a great song. I just re-watched Dave Grohl's Kilborn acoustic and didn't think this version was inferior at all. Just a different take is all. (And yes, I'm aware of the concert version but c'mon the full band was in on that one. Totally different vibe.)

[rikhichfy]

Muito Ruim. Perda de tempo.

[singthat4you]

at least he not copying he original **** off people takin mick out of way he sings it

[NibbleTail]

For all you people saying bad things about how David is singing this song, I would like to see you all try to do better.

[thatguy531]

Why did he have to go and make this 'his own'? He ruined it :(

[aio193]

he didnt ruin it.he just sang it his way. its a different take and it takes balls and creativity. isnt the best version cause dave rocked this one.

but still, its a good effort in my book :)

[LA4Him]

Because he was going to sing it on AI and the judges usually suggest making the songs their own.

[letsgoflyers48]

not a bad singer but I'd take Dave Grohl any day of the week

[jamestheprophet]

...it was good...sang a low chorus so that the final chorus sung high would have more of an "punch"

[aio193]

agreed yo.

he made it.. sound a bit bluesy? pop? maybe more like pop...

[firebird234569]

friggin sucks compared to the real thing but have to give him some creds for even trying

[GarrettTS]

he shouldn't have sang low for the chorus .... sounded stupid

[Alvin2K4S]

he's terrible

[g2rt]

love the zoom out:D:D

[hfmetalhead1]

Wow this guy totally ruined this song. He did not do it justice. I kinda want to punch him in the face now.

[GrayMajor7]

Oh i totally agree with you

This guy is a tool and ruined an amazing song

[s13assassin]

oh my god someone shoot this guy he really screwed up the song!! but that was some nice ass!! thumbs up to the camera

guy he's my hero

[trooper744]

Is this the faggot version...

[sk8mkd]

somebody's gonna fuck after the gig haha

[iammalloy]

haha...not quite dave grohl is it lol

[dckatia]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!

[beelzeb0ss]

ARGHH! this version is annoying

[aznman180]

hot ass

[linnWV]

original is better...

[fndu8s]

lefty?

[hawaii021]

This is horrible, just ruins the song

[sauldelonge]

hooooooooooooooooot chicks!! xD

Worth it!

[Aerankas]

Wow that was fantastic. Don't be hating on the cover cuz you don't like the style, and that was some damn fine singing.

[bluetambourine]

I like this acoustic version, but I much prefer the electric version he did during the AI tour. Of course nothing will ever be as good as the original, but I think he did a great job. =)

[shwingman29]

hahahaha ah man good stuff

[Meripat]

Amazing surprise at 1:18!

First I just watched him playing and thought, yes hes pretty good and was just about to see another vid and i saw the girls and i was like WOW!!! WTF MAN! :D:D:D

[cadillaccgrills]

i'm not sure why so many people dislike this cover.

at least he can do a cover of a song and make it sound original unlike most people do.

i don't remember seeing any rules anywhere that said that if you cover a foo fighters song you have to do it exact and perfect.

dave grohl and david cook are two different people.

i think this sounds amazing.

i had no idea some foo fighters fans were die hard enough to be so close minded about covers of their songs.

jeez.

[WhoKilledCallo]

because its shit

[jaidheat]

i dont see how he isn't good enough to cover a foo fighters song....lmao. im not a david cook fan, and i am a huge foo fighters fan, but even i think this is top notch.

[GrayMajor7]

He is not good enough to cover a foo fighters song enither is paramore.

[Goatmancheese]

GrayMajor7: Sorry but that is NOT true. I am a huge Foo Fighters fan. And I actually appreciate this cover quite a lot. I like the twist he added to it. And haley williams (Paramore) is an absolutely AMAZING singer. they're cover is great. I mean of course none of them will ever add up to the original version. But think of it this way: At least this guy won American Idol instead of that faggot Archuleta. And Haley Williams is hot. :D

[SabinoPedrosa]

the cover is alright the paramore one is better

[OlgaBoys08]

Those hot girls up front...WHERE HOT!!!

[fazzification]

paramore did it way better !!!!

i'm a cook fan, but i'll have to say paramore did it better.

[Smetch]

G A Y

[Telepothead]

lol

[thorniekimura]

The only thing good about this video is of the girls in the white shorts...

[celestialhorror]

nice version but the FOO's original was way better

[leanderclyde]

strong and powerful voice.......

[romysbaskets]

due this guy can suck it....

[lovbaz]

the only thing that i apreciate is that he is left-handed ;) and i like that...he make me remember another guy...from ABERDEEN.........

[tonx101]

yes except him and kurt cobain have two completely different styles

[symkee]

I think Paramore did a better cover.. just saying.

[alaskiancheese]

i personally don't think this song should be covered period. it was perfect to begin with, he doesnt sing it with the emotion that should be behind it. but thats just my opinion.

[lovbaz]

really nice voice, but please sing it in a differet way...

[IRedefinePunkRok]

the kid obviously doesnt know who david cook is

[NibbleTail]

I am a huge Foo Fighters fan, and an even bigger David Cook fan. When I heard that he was covering my favorite Foo Fighters song, I was so happy! Great job David Cook, and I can't wait for you to make a second album! :)

[Adonai19]

great. my compliments from Italy.

[belzebrutt]

great interpretation-...and u're right Demonic it seem like john mayer...^^ anyway great:D

[Demonic626]

seem like it was a john mayer song kind of with the guitar beat

[0IH]

foo fighters rip off

[PandasXSharpies]

Its a cover, idiot.

[ok1234go]

Lol wow dude its a cover.

[chnx84]

those cheerleaders at the end.. LOL

[liljdude94]

hahahaha

[zacfarrox3]

to be completely honest.

i love the foo fighters and i love david cook.

and i think david cook should not have covered this song.

[dzku21]

1.22 is the best scene

;-)

[calctmnt]

lmao

[wizzer1985]

No its not, 1:23!

Because you've just seen 1:22 and at 1:23 realised you aren't dreaming and those are real!!

[Wguitar59]

nice nice lol

[wordnerdsrock]

HIS CD IS OUT NOV. 18TH

[BSBfan4lyf]

when dose david cook's cd come out?? dose anyone know??? If so PLEASE tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jeekabnieks]

I'm a die-hard Foo fan and I don't think he ruined the song. He put his own twist on it, which is nice. Not as good as Beloved's cover or Paramore's cover, but definately not a failure!

[xRockstar1052x]

Who ever thinks this sucks.

A) do better than him. He's awesome.

B) get the dick out of you ass just because archueta lost.

C) It's just a cover.

If you thumbs down me, YOUR the failure.

David cook FTW.

[TimEddyHughes]

If you use bad grammar, YOU'RE the failure.

By the way, last names need capital letters too.

[xRockstar1052x]

Wow, wtv.

Its the internet, who cares Bitch.

See, i capitolized you name Fagot.

[GirlzRockerz]

blieh

[paul19584]

Nice way to wreck a good song...........

[Juggernaut1299]

that was very nice of the camera man to give us a shot of those behinds in the audience haha

kickass

[lamarrider]

failure

[xocoltondannyluvxo]

Dude..what's up with all the hate?! He can sing it however he wants. maybe all you haters are just jealous cuz he's freaking amazing and people could care less about you..

[Fookid606]

ok dumbass

David Cook compared to David Grohl

????

DAVE FUCKING GROHL

shoulgd be the only one singing this song

he worte it!!!!!!!!!!

david cook needs to write his own stuff

bastard

[lnmiller8283]

David Cook write and produced an entire album himself before AI...so he is very capable. And he also had a band Axium before AI that also did all their own stuff.

[liljdude94]

so did grohl ?

man... its just not how this song is ment to be played

it duznt sound bad, its just not the rite feel

[spiderfishx]

why does everyone want a cover to sound like the original? Different guy, different sound. I have my favorite version of this tune, but this certainly isn't bad.

[fredb3]

well i knocked one up in like 5 minutes cos im an ass

xfD

[ebaymotion]

finally someone understands the definition of COVER!

[deldred]

Yeah, I agree. If you want to hear a cover song that sounds exactly like the original, just listen to the original then. A cover song, in my opinion, should show your own personality and creativity.

[Dyoh07]

alright people just calm down haha

i mean i love both the ff and dc

but at least he didnt do an exact copy of the song

and he didnt "ruin it"

[LeanneGC101]

go home man!!!

[Tyc00nMan]

wtf?

what a fag

[EMOj4]

errww! paramore's cover so much was better!!

[volleysoccer2191]

wtf?? he changed the words and the octaves!!!

this sucks...

[JoeyVanzetti]

david cock ruined my day

[deemboy]

fuck david cook

[TheRunningFreeMusic]

Its okay. Love this song. -Mike

[brendterboy]

he fucking changes octaves at the chorus

[geebhatia]

listen to his cover that isn't acoustic tis way better. this is good until the chorus.

[yanni235]

this is what it would sound like if a crappy howie day tried to do the foo. terrible

[wilsongat]

fuck you david cook!

[Rock7132]

I wasn't too impressed with this video until the 1:19 mark when the cheerleader's assses entered the shot. Then I lost track what the hell he was singing and gave it five stars...

[emojes14]

i think he is really good

he is better then katy peery or w.e her name is

he is like a real singer not a fake

that sounds like shit when they sing live

he dose not sound that bad

and if u dont like it

then stop fucking watching it

your really stupide to watch it all the way if u dont like it

god

[HawtTamalii]

BOOOO!

[MarcS4R]

to be honest this sounds like poo...

[therafa14]

the best thing about this is the cheerleaders! what a veiw! haha

[dbzrkyyh]

so so true.

[Lovemunk]

Wow i would rather end my life then hear this again, why do these comercial tools have to cover the greats
