Foo Fighters Generator - Live At Hyde Park

[christratton]

I was at this show - walked up on it in London. Right before summer solstice - it was awesome!

[ateasdale38]

NO TALKBOX!

[Gianky182]

Very underrated song. One of their best song

[Maelstrom787]

I got a fever.. and the only prescription is more talkbox.

[DrNoPancakeMix]

Not Cool!

THE VOICE THINGY IS BETTER!

[bigmachine]

talk box?

[MrLolo253]

He don't use a talk box ???

[staggaz32]

I'm straight but i would turn gay for David Grohl.

[Blackmetal9000]

Needs more talkbox.

[killerkite333]

i think its one of their underrated songs.. I remember being hooked up in the 90's hearing this song and learn to fly.

[thedudefromthehood]

I liked it more with the talkbox

[Kade282]

Just a while ago i got the Foo Fighters greatest hits album and that was all i heard. Personally my fav was the Pretender but then i looked up all the other songs on youtube and when i saw this i was like what the hell were they thinking when they did not put this song in the greatest hits album. My play count on itunes for the pretender is 93 but for Generator....165...Keep rocking Foo fighters!

[Thearmsman]

@Kade282 yeah bro Generator came off Foo's 3rd album There's Nothing Left To Lose.. listen to the whole thing you will love it. even Dave has said the song Aurora on the album is his favorite Foo Fighters song to date;)

[SMSLAX22]

@Kade282 Yeah Generator is one of my fav Foo songs but the Greatest Hits album is made up of there popular songs how this one never was big amazes me but i remember hearing it for the first time when i bought the cd back in '99 wow that was a long time ago

[abdulazim007]

i love the way way taylor hawkins plays. with his hair all over the place, jaws open and pratically beating the drums to shit. hes the best fuckin drummer ever.

[defectedsi]

fuck the genratter my genrater look back at pure metal maiaden acdc to see how good this track is or new breed codheed and cohban

[IsaacParrack95]

this song should have been a huge hit

[undertakerfreak1127]

I like the Foo Fighters, but Dave needs to go back to drums... he's making up for his lacking vocal ability by screaming.

[RockstarBurnzy]

i guess thats why hes in them crooked vultures now

[NickNorie15]

I actually prefer his vocals over Kurt Cobain's...

[NickNorie15]

And screaming kicks ass... Music is not only about technique, you gotta add some emotion too...

[diabeticmonkey]

Screaming only means that he's feeling the emotion in the song to a good extent, and dont forget how much metal he listens to. he has to keep it metal.

[coldwind777]

I guess the question is why did he not feel this emotion when he first recorded this song, or any of his performances before this?

Keep it metal? This song? The one with the talkbox and Nirvana-style verse? There are so many better songs in the FF library for him to metal out on.

[darms27]

you know, if you watch some of their older concerts, like the toronto dvd, they perform it in pretty much the exact same way as they do here, and that was 4 years earlier.

[coldwind777]

I love this song, but it makes me sad that he screams during this performance. I don't understand why; it makes me kind of think Dave is in a mid-life-crisis-must-"rock"-"h­arder" mode. It detracts from the performance.

[carousal999]

your an ammatuer. your comment is an embarrassment

[coldwind777]

Yes, I am amateur. Is somebody paying you to post comments on YouTube?

It's "you're", not "your".

[teh1owner]

@coldwind777

Snap :D

[carousal999]

yeah im getting paid to write these comments.. surprisingly what real fans do is defend their artists and the way they play there music, and im not going to tollerate little shits like you who think theyve got it all figured out but whos comments about the video make it so blatently obvious their just a fucking ammatuer. look at that i just got my pay cheque for writing this comment, sweeeet, you fucking moron.

[coldwind777]

You're not getting paid, therefore you're also an amateur.

I love how you seem to think that the definition of amateur is anybody who doesn't agree with you.

[wiggy1988]

English motherfucker, do you speak it?

[origami20071]

@wiggy1988 say what again

[BADRANG23]

I get fucking goosebumps all over my body everytime I hear the intro, needs more talkbox though....nah foo fighters forever!!!

[novoare]

The dancing donkey face bitch.

[majka7]

love foos.

[shiran865]

it's one of their best songs!!!!

[Slayerben3]

It needs more talkbox....nuff said.

[garyb123fob]

good but much better with talkbox

[920connor]

arguably the greatest band ever

[permian11]

no argument here

[MrHaplos]

great

[basskid24]

Just not the same without the talk box =(

[lammue]

Yes.

I'm missing the Talkbox too. =(

Sorry for my english.

Im German ;)

[xphoenixdownx]

adding the simple "you're" would make it mean a little more.

[greeborhys]

i would have seen this... i was there but my anus father decided it would be a good idea to leave as the headline act came on. =(

[7213258]

J'aime les musiques de foo fighters dès la première écoute! ^^ love foo fighters

[JRFproductions]

Darn, no talk box.

But good nonetheless.

[justcaz9971]

you can tel hes kind of tiered

[Kaiuss2]

I was at the front for this gig, and must say that it was spectacular to hear this song live, voice box or no... Always one of my top Foos songs. Really disappointing that they no longer play anything from the first album though.

[Zengetsu203]

Generator was from their third album

[DXfan1996]

actually they have played this is a call at a few new gigs

[plaitd]

yeah they played This Is A Call on their last tour. But they don't do Generator any more :(

[ceaser341]

really? Never? Are you sure? Thats one of their best IMO.

[plaitd]

I hope they start playing generator again, but they didnt on their last tour at least. Lets hope we hear it live again aye

[pezdel1]

They did Generator at the concert i was at..

[Degges1]

well darn

no talk box..

[Charliemurph69]

ya what the heck dave

[latinlord2]

that or this is actually taken in their 4th encore of the show

[Quinnlyboi2008]

o thats why.... i was wondering why he didnt have the tube thing

[soMa3889]

its good

but it just isnt the same without the talkbox :(

[miguelmf]

true

[miguelmf]

true

[HITmanThief]

LOVE it!

H!Tman

[KanoLink]

and the efect of guitar??

[sperk12]

the talkbox has so much more effect, but i spose it is kind of useless to only have it out there for 1 song, it would probably get in the way, but if u ask me they should use it anyway

[83guitarface]

i dont think it does, but a bit of wah would be nice :D

[sperk12]

do u mean that the talkbox doesnt have a better effect or that it isnt useless having it out there the whole time

[83guitarface]

i think its good with it, but the way he plays it kind of replicates the effect of the talk box. :)

[sperk12]

i c, but i i dont think it sounds to much like the talk box but whatever

[thecore12345]

that's actually not a half bad idea! *get wah pedal

[miguelmf]

definetly. OK, it's one song but they should use it anyway

[sperk12]

i know, they could always get a roadie to bring out another mic or somethin, u know while they do there acoustic stuff if u know what i mean

[renannas]

foo fighters is the best.

They need to come to Porto Alegre!!

[rocknrollboy]

I wish he had the talk box

[lovintherocknroll]

nice! ty for the vid! :)

[darms27]

Holy crap this is an awesome song. Best live version there is too.

[drumBOY96]

danggg you can definetly here Taylor's toms on this one!

this there best live version.

[JullianoeoRock]

Foda!

[ieisha31]

he so great

[SgtFlippy26]

"oh crap, who left to Talkbox back home? Well shit here goes nothin" Lol this song rocks tho.

[Bigme2talkaboutit]

Personally, I prefer the talk box, but live, who cares, right? I'd love to be at this kind of performance either way.

[philcogsy]

WEll i guess its kinda anoying to use a talk box all the time...in my opinion its good on the studio track but live you dont need it for an intro or outro or bridge those ten seconds without the talk box man Who gives a shit?

[lebelustig]

Hey Guys, Fxxk off!! What`s your problem! Do you seriously think that a musician like Dave Grohl is not able to use a talkbox or to lazy to use it? Just shut up you silly bastards and enjoy what is given to you - - - - Finest rock music and one of the best bands in the world!!!

[TyraphoonTheFlame]

[KassettOriginal]

The bass is awsome on the drums ;D I hate when you cant have that amount, it feels powerful with that much bass, indeed? )=))

[sharty5000]

drums are awesome!! bass only makes the drums look better which adds to the effect=]

[smithml1015]

Taylor definitely RULES!

[Bigme2talkaboutit]

Yes, but is he better than Dave in Nirvana?

[taniarule]

[knoxymama]

I love this without the talk box.  Although, I wouldn't mind BEING the talk box that Grohl uses normally... :)

[deepak182]

[wesleyfresh]

It's called a voice box people!

[DieKnowMite]

Actually, it is called a TALKBOX! It is a guitar peddle used to make voice like effects by utilizing a tube and a microphone in addition to the guitar.

[CRACKHEAD210188]

with talkbox is it better

[slash18gabita]

great

[jealousy14]

OHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[Giggleheimer]

Shame, I LOVE the talk box!

[wingco]
