Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl guitar solo live

[Chispatr]

hahaha I can't believe I just saw a David Gilmour Vs Kurt Cobain argument. I mean no disrespect by this, but Kurt isn't a great guitar player, just a good songwriter. Gilmour plays with soul, Cobain does not. Even Dave is probably better at guitar.

[kadrock]

i love tony Iomii, but Randy freakking Rhoads!!!! sick

[TDubsesbueno]

GEORGE HARRISON

@bobdolecult

Are you seriously saying that slash is a better guitarist than the likes of jimmy page? Or angus young?

He plays everything in the same key ¬_¬ That list is out of date. It hasnt got Matthew bellamy or jack white on there but I cant see any reason why slash should be on there. Hes good technicaly but he cant improvise for shit :)

[qwertuyop]

@bmiester2003 I agree on Matt and Jack, but what you're saying about Slash is wrong. He is not playing everything in the same key, that would be Angus, and you clearly stated that Angus is a better guitarist. Also, He's not that much of a technical player as you're saying. Most of his live solos have TONS of improv.

[musefoos10]

@bmiester2003

WRONG

[44eelz]

oh my fucking God, is this a concert or a cell phone commercial??

[chabon88]

engaged to play the drums.

[pakvasevigreste]

Now that Gibson is one sexy guitar.

[wenser13]

dude that guitar solo was great!! Its not just about technical and fast you can get. he played soo smoothly, and the note choices. if you were a fan of pink floyd you would understand..

[Gibsonbloos]

.....where was the solo.....

[StadiumArcadium1234]

tht was some sweet guitar playing, but yeah, he jus rocks the fuck outta those drums!!!!!

[VincentValentineXIII]

is that a fender starcaster he is using here? and i dont mean the new line of cheapies. i mean the 70s hollowbody one.

[wmt1234567]

didnt he play drums for nirvana?

[ajaxrulzz]

he did

[ijfox87]

gilmour is amazing player, otherwise comfortably numb wouldnt (on numerous occassions) be voted best guitar solo ever. still hats off to cobain, SLTS is one of the most recognisable riffs ever!!

[Minter090]

dudes wtf ur arguin bout who's better kurt or gilmour wel obvious kurt he's a legend no 1 cares or givs 2 shits or even no's who david gilmour is so just stop arguin da ansers simple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[TheStraightGuys]

Are you kidding? David Gilmour was a better singer, guitarist, and musician than Kurt by a million miles. Honestly, most people can get better than Cobain at guitar within 2 years of playing. How can you say that no one knows who Gilmour is? He's one of the most famous musicians of the last century... Also, learn how to spell.

[jasonR85]

So you've never heard of Pink Floyd?

[frunchzz]

..I mean I really like Nirvana, they are among my favourite bands, but if you don't know who David Gilmour or Pink Floyd are, sir, if you don't mind, step out of the internet.

[musefoos10]

@Minter090

wtf gilmour is a legend

[Rabby0605]

enough of this gimour vs kurt cobain stuff they were both amazing

[TheGsxrDemon]

o dude for real david gilmour can do circles around kurt cobain on guitar. cobain good write good songs, with 4 chords that could really rock. gilmour could play guitar and blow minds

[macymayo]

no kurt was way better at guitar if you listen to nirvana's early live stuff kurt goes crazy on the guitar.Much better then in this video

[lovernamedloveseth]

david gilmour can suck my cock pink floyd is overrated as shit

dave isnt that good hes not as good as kurt cobain on guiter

[grndayblinks44times]

i go 2 school wit his neice

[powertothechord]

dave is obviously a better drummer than a guitarist

[lejejzerman]

I COMPLETELY agree

[shultzie445]

agreed, but how many people can play EVERY insrument in a band at an excellent level?

[dannyboy6907]

exactly, it is incredible, thats why he is one of my favorite musicians, that and i like his style of playing/singing

[RasachiSenseiUch2]

Awesome! XD Dave Grohl rox!! He's got his Gibson DG-335 and a very nice guitar solo.

[hoonda89]

not the best guitar player but certainly better then many. i agree with the1nameless and tango616. great guitar players play with their souls not just the guitar. dragonforce are flashy but have no soul in their music.

rock on dave

[tatersalad4real]

i agree with u too, when u get lost in ur own stuff, its unexplainable. And good guitarists always get lost in their music, its all about the soul, dragon force just play fast as they can.

[rawrghblarghwaurgh]

This guy is like some kind of musical Swiss Army knife. He can play pretty much any instrument out there and is a damn good singer.

All things considered, him being an above average guitarist as well is a huge achievement.

[mexicanstinkypants]

personally, I think Dave Grohl is a damn good drummer but when it comes to guitar he isn't anything special.

[gweetarshredder]

hmm i must say that Dave Grohl isnt the best guitar soloist out there... But the Foo Fighters still fukn rock!!! And well it appears that Dave's improved on his soloing from when he first started so thats awesum!!!!! FOO FIGHTERS ROCK!!!!!!

[irishmusicman88]

dave g is the greatest guitarist IMO, the g stands for gilmour tho!

[doufeel]

Why thumbs down??

David Gilmour is probably the greatest guitar player of all time..

[tatersalad4real]

van halen

[pangborn25]

Jimi Hendrix. Without Jimi, all those "incredible" guitarists you people rattle on about, would either never have picked up guitar (Satriani) or would of played something totally different (Blackmore, Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughn, and many more artists.)

[wmt1234567]

good fucking point man thumbs up

[drunkobongo]

the greatest guitarist ever is Jack Black. No contest man.

[Calimero987]

hey!! i want the whole damn song <,<

[GotNothinBetter2Do]

my friend actually thinks that this guy is better than synyster gates LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lilchankstas]

ur friends stupid then

[drummerjonathanp]

dave grohl is a drummer, guitar is his 2nd instrument, of course hes worse

[sixnuggets]

dave's far better than that guy though...

I mean, what's so good about that sloppy shredding?

his solos sound like a 11 year old XD

[tango616]

no...just...no

[sixnuggets]

isn't that because youre just into metal music?

[tango616]

i AM into metal music but im diff. than the people who listen to nothing but metal i listen to everything sept country, rap, and stupid hip-hop and stuff like that...i still like some of the foo's songs but hes got nothing on synister gates

[sixnuggets]

well, to me, the fact that you limit the area of your musical preferences is really sad.

hmm why don't you try to have benevolence to embrace as much musical genres as possible?

SO, why dont we stop this conversation and ask each other some kind questions? haha

whos your fav guitarist?

[tango616]

ummm id say michel anigilo baito, alexi laiho, eddie van halen, mark mortan, willie adler, and dimebag darrel... how bout you bro?

[sharty5000]

yea dude, i love dave grohl, but hes not that great of a guitarist

[the1nameless]

lol your not really different judging from your fav guitarists

and you know i like alexi (COBHC!!!!) n eddie

but recently iv bin thinking that maybe what makes a guitarist great is not how many notes he can play but the songs he writes

[tango616]

true i belive the note thing that you said. BUT jack white plays like hardly any notes but there all with alot of soul but alot of them still suck...and dragonforce solos have a million notes but they have NO soul, so again they suck...you gotta find a happy medium...like johnny demaro...greatest player ever

[the1nameless]

yeah yeah i mean like its about the songs you write rather than amount of notes like jack whites songs suck and he cnt shred so he sucks

dragonforce can shred but there songs are all the same ( although herman ri is soo cool =P )

so yeah you gotta be able to write good songs

and bein able 2 shred never hurt either =)

[tango616]

cheers dude

[TregosMusic]

jack white is only second to one man

that man is dave grohl.

[tango616]

HAHAHAHA

[tkmslee]

Than heavens for the Foo Fighters. Grohl is far more talented than Cobain ever thought of being.

[hanusanus666]

more talented technically than kurt. kurt is a better writer. and I'm a huge fan of both.

[Dabomb782]

yeah, so why isn't Dave at #12 on Rolling Stone's guitar list instead of kurt, 58 places higher than Eddie Van Halen?

[bobdolecult]

because rolling stone's list is by popular vote and is complete and utter bullshit. for instance, slash isnt even on it, and it lists 100 guitarists. that list can suck a dick.

[hanusanus666]

well said sir.

[tango616]

but slash does suck...well no but hes way to overrated...he can play very well but he is still way to overated

[narutokiller9]

@bobdolecult obviously. its just PR for the magezine. they dont want slash cuz of legal troubles.

[pakvasevigreste]

@bobdolecult

No fuckin' way, really? If there's no Slash on the list, then it ain't worth a lousy dime.

[hazetubist]

@bobdolecult slash is a crap guitarist

[cota2007]

Better view and camera than mine at The Fab Forum show on Wed night. Gr8 show!!

[Lynz2Gerard]

he did the exact same thing in Omaha!

[BlackVomit9]

omg i was there to at the oracle arena in oakland on feb 2nd 2008

[thyanic]

OMG i was there!

it eas soooo great!

[draetalk123]

i fuckin loved the show alsone...i loved how active he was... then how he went behind stage and was taunting us... then he played 3 more songs

[ajaguilera]

dave is fuckin hilarious

[flamintacohole]

yea by far the most amazing concert ive ever seen

[r0ysapp]

I went to that show....wow! THE best concert i've ever been to!

[gabegrote]

I think you were right next to me
