Everlong - on Letterman (first show after heart surgery)

[yankeesrule6497]

Dave is a cool guy

[GoinDeep33809]

Tyler is a BEAST on this performance.

[kysike666]

epic drumming!!

[soothdoom]

Its Taylor and Dave feeding off of each others passion, talent and love for what they do. And what a fucking song. I now suspect Nirvana was over 50% Dave after all.

[GregBatt66]

Never knew Letterman was sooooo Keeewl.. If this is his favourite band then hes got fucking good taste

[ryanson209]

That's awfully nice of the Foos to reschedule their entire tour just to show up on Letterman's show after heart surgery.

[Mikesdailyjukebox]

Sexiest rock song ever? Perfection.

[kamber3391]

I love how grungy this song is. I just really like grunge. That's it!

[alicat76usa]

i completely agree David!



[devane85]

Everyone always goes on and on about Dave and Taylor but my favorites are Shifty and Nate.

[THEDXFAN28]

@devane85 yeeees same!! haha

[matigues]

@devane85 same here man, Shiflett and Nate don't get their dues

[vikramas1109]

Taylor is apparently trying to spontaneously set fire to his drumkit back there...

[theskinny6]

I love that they've grown out their hair and beards.

[camerondurkin84]

So awesome that The Foos came to Dave's first show back and played his favourite song. Dave certainly loves both the Foo Fighters and Ryan Adams and let's his viewers know it. I love that about him.

[GiantStoneEater11]

Really like the KMTA Omaha logo appearing LOL

[tonyflow4000]

Dave Grohl= greatest songwriter of all time!

[brandons3]

@tonyflow4000 this is one of the greatest songs of all time without a doubt... but come on dave grohl is not the greatest...lennon, paul mcartney, kurt cobain, eric clapton, bob dylan... are the greatest songwriters in music history, dave grohl is making his way to that league but hes is not there yet.

[heathparkes10]

@brandons3 kurt cobain is not one of the greatest songwriters of all time. he was a great songwriter, but he is definitely not in the same class as bowie, lennon & mccartney, neil young, dylan etc.

[Crazelord91]

Im surprised the drums ddnt Explode

[stevetdent]

This is, by far, their best performance of this song.

[neumi107]

@stevetdent Than you haven`t seen the one in Sydney,Aus....

[animusolus]

Thumbs up for Paul Schaffer jumping in on the boards...

[Smoolock]

They've played this song on letterman at least three times. I think that shows how much he likes it.

[Nirvanafan4ourever]

dave grohl: keeping rock and roll alive since 1994.

[TriumphT140]

God damn its hard to believe that was 11 years ago... Don't get me wrong, 16 feels like a long fucking time ago, but This song doesn't... if that makes sense.

[musicislife2893]

15 people have no souls...

[BrownSkyBlueDirtBAND]

this is so sick.

[Elle203]

ff -> fortissimo -> very strong and loud -> foo fighters :)

[whatshouldneverbejcj]

Taylor what an amazing drummer

[Addicted2OILau]

Geez, what a drummer, imagine him jerking off

[kryptex09]

I'm glad Dave wears a mustache right now...

[elchamber]

I think David need medical attention again after watching Taylor play.

[TheMrAwesomeDx]

TAYLOR IS INSANEEEEEE

[sirchives1275]

i remember watching this episode 11 years ago...

I was 5,and the Foo Fighter's were my first band,even back then...

Ahh memories.

[MLplayer78]

anyone else think he looks kinda like George Harrison here?

[michaellovegrove]

@MLplayer78 cos of his hair yeah, but thats about it. haha

[themeleed]

its weird to see dave with short hair now

[BojanglesUdon]

think what you will about letterman, but damned if he doesn't have amazing taste in music

[Tk734]

@BojanglesUdon Seriously! QOTSA, Foos, Metric, Silversun Pickups...

[atoms12123]

The drum beat is fast, but they definitely are playing this a bit uptempo, and Taylor is like, pfft, too easy. I can do this successfully on the drums for about 2 minutes before my arms feel like jello.

[FookinLiam]

0:00 --> free replay button

[prevost2011]

Best Song Ever.....

[yoda4ever88]

15 people should eat dirt!

[odacon400]

[AgaMbadi]

Wow, that's a blistering performance for late-night t.v. !!! Foos Rock!

[Danjoker619]

FFF= Foo Fighters Forever!!!

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

imagine if kurt was alive

the songs he and dave would make

fuck man

[Usometimeskillme]

@FakeFlourescentSkies but then foo fighters might never have happened

[SucramNumber2]

@FakeFlourescentSkies kurt was gonna fire dave and krist from the band so this would have happened anyway.

[mrtall1994]

@SucramNumber2

nah they were gonna break up

[Seanjkbs]

Dave Grohl is a god damn musical genius

[earthboundisawesome]

Needs more facial hair

[beelzeb0ss]

2:31 TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK!

[LIFEnTUNE]

Learn to play this @ my channel

[NiTr091]

a truly wonderful song that not everyone songwriter can make

[alphabetizerable]

Cool Spock-cut, bro.



[Psykel]

@alphabetizerable To be accurate, Spock is sporting a Grohl-cut.

[alphabetizerable]

Cool Spock-cut, bro.

[incubus1345]

holly shit taylor is fucking amazing..

[drumlord420]

God is gay!

[MsHammith]

I think Taylor has 12 arms

[tongbei1]

I watched the Foo Fighters show this past weekend (Hangout Fest) and they ended the show w/ Everlong. I'm glad there was no roof, they would have blow it to bits. What an awesome show they put on!

[cellphone96]

[costamesa22]

Love the drum tones here

[FLYAWAYYYY]

[greenadrenaline6405]

[CarMoves]

16ths Hell

[rhymepays]

Paul Shaffer.

[leomusiclist]

Why doesn't chris do backing vocals more often?

[cap1287]

Taylor Hawkins is a Beast!

[bmjung]

sick...bass sounds incredible...case anyone doesn't know already, drummer is from alanis morrisett...hard to believe! rock on FOO!!!!

[mdunlap9462]

Rock It!! YEAH! Love U Guys! : )

[everhartdaniel80]

Letterman was holding their album upside down :P

[NightXemnas]

Anyone hear the bass fils around 1:40? Sounds cool.

[muttville1]

u all seen the NEW 2011 version of this??? sure brought a tear to my I..............

[kamaseinc]

Damn he looks so fuc*** young shaved =O

[Grollomatikus]

@kamaseinc you also have to consider that this performance took place more than 10 years ago ;) but you're right

[kamaseinc]

@Grollomatikus True, true. Life is going so fast.... Damn

[Meich209]

music is better than anything else!

[GreenDayPolice]

the cd is upside down at the start

[nickslespaul]

I Love that Paul is playin' with 'em. I wonder if that was planned?

[tjieff]

OMG that drummer is inssaaane!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dunderhead36]

kinda hard to imagine david letterman just sitting around playing Foo Fighter records

[smallmajority]

@Dunderhead36 while having sex with assistants on his show*

[repose1983]

@Dunderhead36 Dave was a hip guy 30 years ago. Not for nothing, Bill Murray was his first guest. Hipsters now look up to guys who grew up looking up to Dave.

[GreggleZz]

for dave

[jazzy1260]

Not a huge Letterman fan, but the man has some good taste in music.

[rarechange]

mad drunning skills!

[Danington138]

Greatest version of Everlong ever

[musefeverfever]

this is my favorite song too.

[raysorfour]

fning fantastic

[nuwuck]

One of the best fucking songs ever!

[RICHNEL100]

re the chewing gum - Mainsey05 is right - check the Wembley version of Everlong - just before the last big chorus when he assumes the "rock position" and blows a bubble - too cool.

[RICHNEL100]

re the chewing gum - Mainsey05 is right - check the Wembley version of Everlong - just before the last big chorus when he assumes the "rock postion" and blows a bubble - too cool.

[Grouch7777]

Tayzlor Hawkns if the biggest drummer taht i had ever seen

[guekman]

The fantastic Four!

[Mainsey05]

He is chewing gum. He chews it so he doesn't lose moisture in his throat and lose his voice!

[stevieray345]

hmmmm is it just me or does dave grohl always look like he's chewing gum? oh and he has big teeth

[epicalice]

@zephranna01 theyre alrdy so epic man!

[epicalice]

@zephranna01 metallica doesnt need to be on.

[epicalice]

I respect David Letterman cos he bothers to showcase great bands on his show. not smth most hosts do these days.

[loaduponguns]

Clearly Grohl is the superior Dave

[Ralvarants]

Thats got to be the coolest introduction a band has ever recieved in television history.

[chadley5891]

Epic song. Why did Paul Schafer have to go and ruin it? T.T

[Rasmus606]

@chadley5891 Because Dave pointed at him to play

[grungifiedtwo]

This is one friggen awesome band.

[Wickedwonka121]

This version reminds me of there concert at the forum a few years back. Foo Fighters ROCK!!

[Jukes1971]

This song just kicks ass in so many ways

[MisterPetinho]

David Letterman have good taste in music! :)

[909brt]

4 people broke their drums trying to play this song

[Danielcg76]

Everlong, my all time favorite song!

[coolyo778]

im lovin taylor's fills

[RebelSupport]

2:00 Very nice touch.

[nfsoccer11]

4 people just suck...

[SGKlD]

the drums are crazy in this song

[shardizon]

At least we know where Bieber got his hairstyle from.

[beneb1]

holy shit that was good!

[drekzdj]

"Ladies and Gentleman my favorite band playing my favorite song, Foo Fighters!!"

[DannyTags444]

I know alot of people will disagree with me but Dave Grohl is way more talented then Kurt Cobain

[AndrewGee69]

@DannyTags444 I agree with you, but every time I express my opinion people shit on it like Kurt was the best thing ever. Kurt was good, but Dave is great.

[slade114]

@DannyTags444 Foo Fighters are better than Nirvana could've ever hoped to be.

[RebelThoughts]

@slade114 Keep dreaming teenyboppers.

[kbeks08]

this performance is one of the best! it's just so amazing and i get the chills every time i hear it!

[andthnwat]

Never get tired of this song, and this performance is brilliant on every level.

[SafcJordan19]

I don't believe in god.. I don't believe in the tooth fairy.. I don't believe in Santa.. But fuck me, I believe in Dave Grohl!

[09bagges]

@SafcJordan19 You and me both brother

[Good101Music]

@SafcJordan19 who you think made dave grohl? god did stupid

[SafcJordan19]

@Good101Music or his mom and dad.

[suushii90]

@Good101Music god did? lol

[Good101Music]

@suushii90 yess stupid head you'll see that guy when the world ends just you wait:)

[suushii90]

@Good101Music lol stupid brainwashed religous people



[Good101Music]

@suushii90 lol okay just remember i warned you man

[suushii90]

@Good101Music I hope you know that god didnt create man, man created god. And the single strongest evidence against god is that there is tons of religons with diffrent gods, and all cant be right. So religeon is just bull crap.

[Good101Music]

@suushii90 i know there is a god you just have to have faith and believe in him..his not just going come for you he wants you to look for him..and man didnt create god thats the stupidest thing i ever herd from an atheist

[suushii90]

@Good101Music Mad made god because we started beliving in something that dosent exist. There is no evidence for gods existenc (spelling?). The bible is just retarded, I mean sure you can follow the bibles advices but you cant seriously believe in the things that stands in it. That the eart is 6000 years old? Come on! My 4 year old cousin knows that the earth is older then that!

[pfp215]

@suushii90

hey, one can believe whatever they want to, but you're missing the point--when it comes to religion, 'faith' is when someone holds a belief (e.g. god's existence) which can't be definitively proven or disproven. Peace

[incubus1345]

@SafcJordan19 they should have a hollyday.. XD

[dolmanovich94]

and i wonder.... how could 4 people possibly dislike this?

[andthnwat]

wow...awesome!

[GreaseEMU]

DAMN letterman has good taste

[mjnotso98]

Great performance, Taylor Hawkins killed that kit

[stubbornscorpio7]

4 Leno fans disliked this

[Zeokoz]

I wish they would show Letterman playing the air guitar in the background. (Come on, we all know he's doing it..)

[TKDCats312]

I've watched this video around 40 times, and I still get chills at the end.

[diwociao]

WOW MAKES ME WANNA ROCK UUUUUUU......YEAH MEDE JUMP COME ON......

[WayneJetski69]

Classy

[pipandrew]

back when the foos sound technicians could do they're job

[TheHolliBolli]

just brilliant

[cwbriscoe1]

A lot of people are giving props to drummer. Well deserved. I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but he had played on Letterman before when he was with Alanis Morissette.

[sgtgorillaz]

His favourite band even though he's holding the cd upside down :P

[Heymcfly82]

@sgtgorillaz i think he does that on purpose.. lol. i have seen him do it to many many bands.

[haisevaewok]

I'd cancel a tour and fly halfway around the world for Dave anytime. Best talkshow host.

[Yayks13]

*__*

[coalandnuclear]

if anyone wants to lose weight, learn to play the drums for this song, my arms are tired as hell after this song.lol

[FookinLiam]

taylor's a beast

[tanguyen11]

Just watched this video after watching the 90's performance of this song on letterman. This one was a fckn big kick up the pants!

[nucleargamer12]

david letterman has good taste

[TKDCats312]

I've given this video about 150 views by myself. It needs to be spread a lot more than the mere 135,000 views it has now

[fuckamericanidiot]

letterman sold out after he had that heart surgery

[Metalllians86]

wht year was this...didn't they play this twice

[mtlinknfl]

@thefakephil I lost all respect for him

[ThePortalVein]

This is foo fighters at there best , way back wen, passion

[doctorofwhimsy]

4 people didn't come down and waste away with him, down with him

[ryanjack111]

[radiomachina]

@ryanjack111 Taylor Hawkins is a killer drummer.

[hdgmusic8]

Who in their right mind would dislike this performance?

[PebbleBreeze]

[italianny23]
