wonderful

Only the Foo Fighters would truly know what is being said in the instrumental break. Hopefully I can meet them one day and ask them! Hopefully a lot of you people will be able to too.

@guitarlordification small amount of reverb and/or delay, it's been EQ'd aswell, there's also some bleed from the rest of the band because foo fighters record live like the good ol' days before digital

Sounds like some compression as well. It could be the eq though.

@furcifur3 he's using a close mic technique in the verse aswell, wow, it's amazing when you start analysing properly isn't it :P

@ZyggieFromJiU Yeah, some really cool engineering work, I must say.

Its a great song, with a great vocal performance, but the recording is poorly engineered. It sounds cold and sterile, but I still love the song.

@ReggieSears What the fuck are you on you fucking cloof. You clearly have no understanding of record production.

@serafinastudios While I'm not crazy about how you responded to me, I actually want to thank you for responding. We all do have our opinions, but now that I listen to the vocals again, I must admit I was a bit wrong about the vocal track sounding "cold and sterile". I guess I am just a little old-fashioned when it comes to vocal sound. I am tube all the way. The production values on the song is top-notch. Just a little too compressed for my taste. Hopefully there are no hard feelings, my brotha.

@ReggieSears I must admit I had a kneejerk reaction here and flipped the switch, I do apologise and thank you for you're cool response.

WTH on the talking in the middle of the vocal track? does anybody else hear that? it sounds like dave talking about his dad making him cry.....it's like a conversation that's being recorded or something?

@jtucker813 So Dad would take the Sunday's off, and that's the only time he could ever get any rest, and so, because we were loud on Sundays, He'd make us hold his construction boots over our head, till we'd sleep, and they were really heavy boots, and I just say dad come on please, like .. and we'd just start crying, 'cause it's too heavy ..

That's what I got from it, I don't know if it's all right

@Hindoushett yeah thanks, i pretty much understood everything that was said, i was just wondering was that dave talking (figured it had to be) and if so......why is this on the vocal track for everyone to hear and who is he talking to? how very sad for dave if this is a true story :(

jtucker813 2 months ago

@jtucker813 yea, it's definitely dave's voice, but after what Wikipedia's sayin : 'During the instrumental break, three indecipherable tracks whispered by Grohl can be heard. The exact wordings are unknown, but according to the official Foo Fighters newsgroup FAQ, the source materials are a love letter, a technical manual, and a story about a studio technician's father.'

So i guess its not about his father

Hindoushett 2 months ago

@Hindoushett okay thanks for your research. much appreciated. i wondered why he would just let something about himself get out like that, lol.

@jtucker813 its 3 letters read backwards, a letter to his dad, a letter from a record producer and if remember properly the third is a marriage proposal
