  • dave grohl is fucking awesome singing this. better than the real mccoy. and i will listen to this every day of my life and love it. so go ahead haters and post your lame ass comments, cause i don't give a shit!

  • dave make a corporal clegg cover, that's better

  • ALL THE TEARS IN MY EYES...... THIS IS TOO BEAUTIFUL.

  • my love for dave......it knows no bounds!!!!

  • epic cover

  • Comment removed

  • i can die now.

  • @jtucker813 Arcade Fire are exceptional. This is a good cover, but no band plays an Arcade Fire song better than Arcade Fire. Just watch them play this one on Jonathan Ross, a whole different level.

  • @jtucker813 haha all you crazy bitches out there that acted like an asshole about my comment.....the joke's on you, you tube won't post a lot of negative comments....so suck my ass bitches!

  • @chodeloto I know what his fucking name is. I made a simple typo. And this isn't a cover. It's karaoke. There are a ton of very cool covers out there; I don't think this is one of them.

  • @deekman78 yeah it's generic

  • Ei guys give a fuckin' listen to our songs in our page! You won't deny it!

  • When you hear someone sing AF "clean" you understand what Winn brings to the performance that no one else can. Any time AF is covered, their brilliance is revealed. Look: FF are arguably one of the best; there's no denying that. Even when a band as good as FF covers AF, it sounds like a high-school performance. Please, just don't.

  • @deekman78 His name is Win, short for Edwin. Not Winn.

    As genius as Arcade Fire are it's ridiculous to suggest their songs shouldn't be covered. This is fine.

  • I love foo fighters even more....and I thought it wasn't possible anymore

  • Is that Conchord 2?

  • Holy shit!!

  • you know you're bad-ass when you smoke when playing the accordion

  • @jordanjmdjmd74 sounds like being French...

  • @AnaisForTheWin

    touche

  • Okay, I love Dave Grohl because he loves Arcade Fire... :) and this cover is badass.

  • this is so sick

  • Awesome band cover an awesome song from another awesome band, what is there not to like?

  • Great cover, well done! The band looks like they are enjoying the h$%l out of themselves.

  • any band that does a cover arcade fire gets a plus. but this cover is fucking awesome so its like a triple plus

  • I like the smoking accordionist!

  • i wonder if he ever accidentally bit his tongue chewing gum and singing

  • came to this vid just so i could hate on the cover. I feel like such a dick, now.

  • Amazing..... my two favorite bands!

  • what the shit.... foo fighters making a cover of arcade fire? AWESOME!!!!!

  • @lopestjoao i cant believe too >.<

  • @lopestjoao Foo like good music. :D

  • thats pretty damn cool

  • @Skimmary They do... Medium Rare...

  • Oh my gawd! This just made my week! :)

  • Don't cover AF!

  • @nirconn but exposure! exposure!

  • The Foo's need an album full of all different covers, Its good to hear what influences them

  • 0:39 When did Criss Angel join the Foo Fighters

  • Foo Fighters + Arcade Fire = the most awesome mix anyone anywhere could ever come up with.

  • @eyocaa Probably if Arcade Fire were playing a Foo's song it would be more impressive than what we have here.

  • is there anything Dave Grohl can't do?

  • That's the most badass looking acordion player...

  • this is why I love the Foos!

  • waaaaaaa! ese es el show ke necesito para 2012 en Chile Foo Fighters con Arcade Fire y puedo morir en paz

  • wow two of my favourite bands combined - awesome!

  • the textures in this song are sweet

  • I guess I wouldn't expect Foo Fighters to cover Arcade Fire but I think they did good

  • not unlike the original at all

  • nice, I know and also like this song :)

  • Am I the only one thinking that even though it sounds pretty well, Arcade Fire and Foo Fighters don't match? ...

  • @fenixeloi

    I agree but Its not easy to cover an Arcade Fire song and to do it in your own way and to make it work is good enough for it. Its still a good cover.

  • @fenixeloi nah, if u honestly have listened to each and every foo fighter song they ever recorded, they probably are capable of covering any song and making it sound like its theirs

  • awesome cover

  • absolutely incredible :)

  • Redeem yourself you genius!

  • Great cover of a great song by a great band!

    Thanks for sharing!

  • Amazing how many big name, talented musicians are into AF.

  • love to here them cover a good canadian band

  • @mike97654321 People need to stop saying "canadian band" they're a band, it doesn't matter where they are from as long as the music is good. When you label them like that you take away from them. It's not as though they're playing "canadian music". No one says "foo fighters is a great american band" they just say they're a good band or they aren't. Fucking national narcissism drives me crazy with Canada - all part of the little brother syndrome as a result of being the American neighbour.

  • @slantythecamel you must be canadian... it's alright.

  • @slantythecamel they use both french and english lyrics because they are from montreal so yeah you could say that they DO sing Canadian music,not that many other places where you would find that mixture....and yes they are a great CANADIAN band

  • @j2donshker Then why not call them a "French Canadian band" and turn everyone off from it? They do not sing Canadian music either way; there simply is no such thing. They are a great band and they happen to be from Canada. Win and Will were born in California and raised in Texas. Does that mean they're a "French Canadian Texan band"? Do they play Texan music? Or is it French Canadian Texas music? French Music? Or do they just play great music unique to Arcade Fire and devoid of a label?

  • @j2donshker ur making it harder to like canada more and more.. -_-

  • @Suka00 cudnt giv a shiit man, im from ireland

  • love to here them cover a good canadian band

  • Actuallt quite good... His voice can't compare with Win's, but it clearly works! :)

  • That was a pretty good cover.....makes me love the Foo Fighters even more....-3

  • wow. he totally wrecks this song with that country-style...

  • As much as I love Dave Grohl and his myriad musical endeavors....you sir, are no Win Butler. I just saw Arcade Fire for the second time (Lollapalooza and then at the UIC Pav), and it literally melts my brain every time. Pumped for Bonnaroo!!!

  • JHFGKDHFGKFHGKJFGH

  • Amazing

    ARCADE FIRE REPRESENT (H)

  • What a brill cover. Good on them

  • moar herdy gerdy needed

  • @MrBenben4 This is undoubtedly the best description of Arcade Fire I've ever heard haha.

  • I like how 480p was considered HD back then.

  • he should stick to playing cover songs lol. not that its great, but it sounds better than his own. imo!

  • I'm Molitor, and this year I will be writing one song every week for all of 2011. I will upload all the songs to my youtube account and I will record proffesional versions of them as well. Please subscribe to my channel and listen to my music in 2011! I'm hoping that some people will help me out in getting noticed !

  • I love you like a big brother Dave.

    

  • why does he have berlin on his shirt?

  • Wants 'cigarette in mouth while playing accordion guy' to be my friend.....0.40

  • Wants 'cigarette in mouth while playing accordion guy' to be my friend.....

  • please GOD let the rumours be true about Foo Fighters & Arcade Fire playing Slane 2011!

  • he said he butchered the first one, but he still screwed up the lyrics in this one:

    2:56 - The real lyric is "The same place animals go when they die"

    3:06 - The real lyric is "The same city where I go when I sleep"

  • Everybody love arcade fire in this world !

  • Excellently executed cover! Arcade Fire were surely very proud when they saw/heard this. Well done!

  • love me Keep the Car Running Arcade Fire style but this is excellente' :]

    if it is was even possible, Foo Fighters made the song even MORE VIBRANT!

  • haha dave is wearing the same clothes like in pretender video xD

    awesome cover :p

  • Excellent cover!

  • what cover did they do earlier, cant find all songs from this show.. since part 2 doesnt work..

  • Here is the tracklist:

    -Pretender

    -My Hero

    -Monkey Wrench

    -Keep The Car Running

    -Come Alive

    -All my Life

  • @Nevermind900426 It was Keep The Car Running again... Dave says he "Butchered it" so he feels he has to redeem himself and do it again.

    Hat's off to Dave Grohl! He's one in a million for sure!

  • @Nevermind900426 he meant he covered this song, but fucked it up so he wanted to retry it.

  • I love this song by arcade fire. But there's something even more intense there. Dave Grohl rules !!

  • this is a great live version, all the others suck, thanks!
