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!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
god this song sounds awesome when covered by the foo fighters. arcade fire, they're unique, and they made a good song.....but damn it's boring as hell compared to foo fighters' version.
@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.
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.
@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
"Honestly I listening to this song everyday in my life, I love it, and I feel so bad and its personal responsibility to redeem not to you and not to the band but the band who made this song on the first place". Dave Grohl.
@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 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?
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!!!
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 !

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