Foo Fighters - interview (1995)

[overcomingravity]

lol Pat at 4:19

[LZJoZ]

Watch this video,then watch the "What's In My Bag?" one in the suggested.

Are these two men REALLY the same guy? XD

[jgworkstation]

Thank god for music lyrics on the internet. Nobody could figure out "I'll Stick Around" back then. Even with the mainstream advent of A-O-Hell at the time, there were just crude web pages that always got it wrong.

[friedalbino47]

Lol at people who say Nirvana sucks when one of there albums went diamond.

[patsfan41191]

back when MTV used to cover actual music. Actual GOOD music

[StrOcc]

Can people please get over this Kurt vs. Dave idiocy?

[TheHouseOffice]

Gosh I love that in the nineties fans were allowed on stage to dance and jump into the crowd. So awesome. /Jealous

[tommig1995]

I'm not going to make any comment about Dave/Kurt

A certain series of events led to the formation of 2 of my 3 favourite bands, and i wouldn't have it any other way, because I don't think I could bear it without either of them

[nicolaslupano]

cobain was the last greatest rock n roll player, dave is amazing too, love foo fighters. but don't compare please. whats teh point?

[tripjams]

pat shmear flames like no other.

[AndreasZimmerman]

Pat Smear!

[mrsteve123]

whats that song at the start?

[joetjuhh]

@mrsteve123 This is a call - Foo Fighters

[DiegoTranstornado]

Am I the only guy here who things dave is a great musician with or without kurt cobain??? he is beyond all those stupid comparisons!

[kaylawayla23]

@DiegoTranstornado I love Kurt Cobain,but I agree.I also think Dave is a great musician with or without Cobain.They're both great.

[777jackpot1]

Ill love these guys no matter what.

[mildseven0506]

omg i remember when i used to watch MTV lol.

[MacFarlane92]

Haha

[bruthaflo]

the drummer and bass player are from sunny day real estate.

[BlueOnionGroup]

is pat gay cause it sure looks like it.

[nimaside]

@BlueOnionGroup yes he is.

[Eldererr]

@BlueOnionGroup

Dave said that for him it doesnt matter and its not people business. But yeah, he is.So what?

[BlueOnionGroup]

@Eldererr i was just wondering i have nothing against them.

[SullenMorbius]

@BlueOnionGroup lol, yeah, he is ...

[Billytalentrocks666]

as much as i agree with you Andymorrison, i can see his point in that Curt wrote simple songs, but thats what made him a musical genius, thats why the band sold millions of records

[starionpatrol]

Never seen such early FF footage.. a year and a half after Nirvana ended..

[blackhamster1009]

What's that big blob thing?

[krzycolombian]

i guess they are fighting foo in this video haha

[Rainbowrdr]

I was at Reading 1995 i remember being out the tent where they were singing it was packed i was on my mates sholders all night watching them, was great festival plus sitting round the camp fire drinking and chatting with freinds and strangers till the sun comes up was cool too!!.... Arrrr those were the days : )

[JULIANFROMOKC]

Poor Dave; All Alone On The Stage

[lolroot]

look at Pat's shoes....God...they're so funny!!

[187zoltan]

Cool bjork ,is singing in the background ... ahh the 90`s

[nvmelden]

Dave Grohl is awesome, but the Foo Fighters are nowhere near as great as Nirvana.

[Gatecrasher12]

@nvmelden LOL another dick who just HAS to make a comparison...

[zr1zora]

their ok but LET ME SAY THIS IN FUCKING ENGLISH DAVE GROHL NO WHERE FUCKING NEARS MR KURT COBAINS NIRVAN MACHINE BABAY

[DemolitianBoy666]

@zr1zora shut up nirvana and the foos are awesome but 2 completely differen't bands if you have to keep comparing them all the time it shows you can't let things die

[HerrKryo]

@zr1zora you do know grohl was IN nirvana? you do know cobain is dead?

[therocketdanni]

@zr1zora You do relise Nirvana were no where near to becoming famous before Dave Grohl came, give him some credit! Everyone acts as if Nirvana was a one man band, and I hate it when people who are meant to know who Krist Novoselic is, don't. Also everyone acts like Dave Grohl is trying to beat Kurt, like there is some kind of competition, he's not, he just loves music, and he wanted to have something to do with music, wanted to do something with his life, instead of working in McDs after Nirvana

[Gatecrasher12]

@therocketdanni You tell 'em Well said. xxx

[09prizefighter09]

FOOS were jamming back then now there more of a acoustic friendly ....same goes for radiohead back then they had jams rocking out without their computers

[venusasaboy1991]

Fave Foos tune bar Stacked actors.

[kurdtkobain674]

what the fuck is happening in the music video lol such a 90's video

[mackin26]

Rock n Roll's finest gentleman!! I bet he'd be a funny fucker if he did stand up too!!

[wassupdam]

Is that taylor on the drums?

[activegs]

nahh dude that's william goldsmith. he was the drummer before taylor. Will n Dave got in a fight or sumthin n Will left during the making of "The Colour and the Shape" album. I like taylor bttr tho. :)

[o8bit0hero]

Yeah the 90s was the last decade for any form of rock!

[Scotybaby]

The Foo fighters started off with a nice grunge style but then just became alternative rock

[russelgman]

Eh. That's what happens as you get older. But i know what you mean.

[superlou1s]

Good, I hate grunge. And I wouldn'y call them alt rock (that is too harsh) I would call them modern rock with grunge influences.

[therocketdanni]

@Scotybaby I think it's good that they changede, because if they were a grunge band too many people would be saying, Dave just wants to be better then Kurt and stuff, which is not true.

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

foo figters suck! NIRVANA ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSS

[DesertHaunter]

Kurt played the easiest songs in the world. gimme a break

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

but kurt was and is a legend this guy is legend on drums not on guitar! and kurt cobain wasnt a great giutar plaer but we used the guitar clever and gind some cool riffs! but he was one of the best song writers ever!

[manhuntruler2]

his current drum solo was poorly compared to other drummers. But his drumming seemed more better in the nirvana songs that Foo Fighters. Trust me on that.

[thelibertines91]

he created a sound on songs like come as you are and marijuana that u will never hear from another band ever

[Andymorrison92]

Fuck you, Kurt Cobain was a fucking legend. He is one of the best musicians ever, fact! So dont say he played easy songs... You try writing three multi platinum albums and see how far you get.

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

yesh i agree with you !! we wake up a whole generation!!

[Andymorrison92]

We have musical taste you see :D

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

i want t say he XD

[sardine25]

@Andymorrison92 EXACTLY!

[HerrKryo]

@Andymorrison92 basicly you are saying.....every multi platinum record is good? well, justin bieber, mily cyrus and every bling nigger with gold teeth will be very happy to hear this. get over it, cobain is dead. i asume the 92 in your screen name is your birthdate. so young man, fuck off, i saw him when he was still alive and without the studio magic he was a crappy little garage rock junkie

[Andymorrison92]

@HerrKryo BASICALLY, your a fucking dick tbh. Im not saying that at all, but Cobain was a fucking legend, also your a waste of a fucking ticket. I cant help what year i was born but at least i appreciate GOOD GENUINE talent which is more than can be said for you. Dont talk down to me you sad pathetic asshole.

[HerrKryo]

@Andymorrison92 what?! cobain IS a dead junkie.....so what?!

[Andymorrison92]

@HerrKryo He was more of a man than you will ever be.

[HerrKryo]

@Andymorrison92 maybe. at least I'm 3 years older than he was, I'm not a junkie, I'm not married to an ugly junkiebitch and I'm not even that broke as he was when he killed himself (must be a bad thing to fight cases in court even though you are guilty as fuck - but I think that comes with beeing a drugged out idiot)

[Andymorrison92]

@HerrKryo You forgot one key thing, he had more talent in his little finger than you have in your whole body. Also who the fuck are you to judge an awesome person. Even if you dont like someone, they are another human being and you should respect them for that. Im sure Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic would like to hear you say these pathetic things. Also, i fucking hate Courtney Love, i dont have to like his wife to like him. You stupid idiot, crawl back under the rock you came from.

[HerrKryo]

@Andymorrison92 hell, you DO take this whole shit personal. wtf is wrong with you? did you suck his cock when he was still alive....oh i forgot you weren't even born when then .do you masturbate on his pictures? it turns you on, right? the greasy hair, the needle pins on his arms, the stupid glasses, that whole i'm a rockstar look at me how grungy i look. must be a real turn on for you. btw i saw how much talent he had in his finger, he just needed that one for pulling the trigger

[Andymorrison92]

@HerrKryo 1. Im not gay sorry :-/

2. You NEED help with your imagination, seriously. You must be schizophrenic.

3. You must have failed math, i was born in 1992 and he died in 1994, wow your smart.

4. All i was saying is that the dude had talent, and you cant deny that. Fuck your one weird guy

5. Why would you pull the trigger of a gun with your little finger?

Im done talking to you, im not wasting my time on on a waste of organs like you.

[Andymorrison92]

@HerrKryo 1. No im not, i think i know my own life thanks (y)

2. I will like what i want to like and no little prick like you will change that.

3. Well obv he was alive before 1994, duh, he was 27 when he died therefore how could he not have been alive before 1994 :S Again your shit math skills.

4. I think drugs are a fucking stupid thing to do, but who the fuck are you to judge, unless you have been through it yourself and then you would be a hypocrite.

[HerrKryo]

@Andymorrison92 1. yes you are

2. well, say cobain was talented, you're not even retarded,you are a gay retard

3. and what? you weren't alive 1989 where is the problem?

4. i don't have to do drugs to know that shit is stupid. i can judge who i want. good thing that junkie is dead because he would never have gone to jail. so it's a good thing.

[Andymorrison92]

@HerrKryo 1. No im not. If i was i would say.

2. That makes no sense.

3. 1989, what the fuck is that? He wasnt born in 1989. Their debut album "Bleach" was released then but thats it. They formed in 1987.

4. Your a judgemental bitch who acts tough over the internet when really, in the real world, you have NO friends. Most people on this earth would agree that your a dick, not because you dont like Nirvana but because your glad he is dead. Thats just fucking sick tbh.

[HerrKryo]

@Andymorrison92 1. yes you are

2. you are a gay retard

3. you really know your facts and i don't care. bleach was horrible

4. i'm not really THAT glad. it would've made me happier if had not killed himself but ended up as a vegetable in a wheelchair. that would have been epic judgement vor a junkie who made crappy music and beeing a rich asshole who thought he can get away with having a wife who did drugs while beeing pregnant and not even kicking the habit when that kid was born

[DieByTheDrop]

@HerrKryo Wtf, is your problem. All he said was Kurt was an awesome musician. Get a fucking life bro.

[HerrKryo]

@DieByTheDrop and i said he wasn`t

[wilshirejkk]

@Andymorrison92 Nevermind went Diamond! 

[Andymorrison92]

@wilshirejkk So it did, i stand corrected :D:D

[Eldererr]

@Andymorrison92

where did you read/hear that in this vid? 0.o

[Andymorrison92]

@Eldererr Learn what? That Nirvana had Multi-Platinium selling albums and that Kurt was a legend? 1. Off Wikipedia...and 2. By listening to Nirvana.

[sumvengeance]

@Andymorrison92 simple sells, case and point.

[Andymorrison92]

@sumvengeance Nirvana's music was more complicated than you think, listen to the song School, the solo is awesome. Also kurts lyrics (Although a lot of the time were just random) they were also very complex.

[sumvengeance]

@Andymorrison92 i agree for the song school but in general the songs were simple. kurts lyrics we random and he even say that he was just trying confuse people for no purpose at all.

[Andymorrison92]

@sumvengeance As i said "Although a lot of the time were just random"....... Even if they are random how the fuck do you come up with

"If she floats then she is not,

A Witch what we have thought,

A downpayment on another,

One at Salem's lot"

 Its too random to not be awesome!!!

[VictorC53]

@sumvengeance you need to look beyond structure in music my friend.

[xxMMxKIDxx]

@Andymorrison92 Calling something simple isn't an insult. I think it was great how Nirvana didn't have to be flashy to write great songs.

[dbvideoinc]

@Andymorrison92 Uh, the songs were easy. That's what made them so great, instead of over complicated songs, Kurt wrote simple, stripped down music. That was the point.

[invaderscott]

@Andymorrison92 Thats what made them great. they played fantastic songs that were easy to play but had a sound like no other.

[sandermeijer]

lol, Bjork in the background.

[str84ever]

Early Foo Fighters are the best. First three albums are amazing. Last album was total shit.

[MGRaiden64]

The Colour and The Shape, One By One, Foo Fighters, and the Greatest Hits were all the best, all the others i really didnt like...

[manicmacintosh]

The greatest hits lolol

[the1egg1man]

His voice has improved so much over the years, although it was pretty good to start with

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

it whould be better if he played drums

[str84ever]

Doesn't really matter he played all the instruments on the recording anyway.

[Gnashy3]

is that really grohl?

[Methstories]

@Gnashy3

yes.

[crazyloverboy0808]

damn theyve changed a lot since back then

they still kick motherfucking ass tho

[lonewolf2379]

that first line up was so bad ass......

[foo95ify]

this is a pretty good interview i like it

[kennedy78757]

This song and the song "Stacked Actors" are about Courtney Love. "How could it be I'm the only one who sees your rehearsed insanity. Enough." Clearly a Courtney dig. The last lyrics are "Learn from all that came from it." are the outro lyrics BTW. Kind of hard to understand them.

[Zookmuh]

@kennedy78757

NO NO Courtney claimed Stacked Actors was about her, but it's about his frustration about L.A. and the fake plastic sort of people. It has nothing to do with courtney. STACKED ACTORS IS NOT ABOUT COURTNEY DAVE SAID IT HIMSELF. I don't know about I'll Stick Around, I think it's about her.

[williampatrickcorgan]

both courtney and dave use each other for publicity

whenever either of them has an album out they slag the other one off in the press - it's just how the industry work

btw, i am a fan of both dave and courtney

[Zookmuh]

@williampatrickcorgan

well i know that but i do know stacked actors wasn't about courtney, that's all i was really saying.

[THElilmisschicken]

I'm pretty sure it is, Dave admitted it in an issue of MOJO

[pabzshot]

is that thing like a booger?

[shiran865]

he's not shy, he's just cute!

[cacbice]

Cute? Holy hell....he's fuckin gorgeous!!!! :0)

[BreakingGlass77]

dave seemed so shy back then

[odiumimbues]

he was shy in nirvana too.

[zippywaite]

his voice sounds really good on this is a call at the beginning

[shadesdog]

is that a different drummer that they had back then?

[CraterPeak2205]

Yeah I think his name is William Goldsmith, and i believe he played in a band called 'Sunny day real estate' He left in '95 or '96 and Taylor Hawkins replaced him

[shadesdog]

thanks man

[CraterPeak2205]

no probs :)

[bigmuffexpress]

It was early 1997 when they got hawkins in, in 1996 he was still touring with alanis morisette

[KobeBryant10248]

William Goldsmith left, because Foo Fighters were making an album, and William's drumming was not going well with the music so Dave re-did it. And when William found out, he felt betrayed and left. Needing a drummer, Dave Grohl contacted Alanis Morissette's touring drummer Taylor Hawkins and asked if Taylor recommended anyone, and Taylor Hawkins offered that he would go to the band. And as you can tell, it worked out.

[RedHotChiliZephyrs]

LA LAKERS WHOA! sorry just liked your name, but yeah you speak the truth on the drumming matter

[Trowh]

yes

[vivalafoofighters8]

yea but he left in 1997

[toobias82]

grohl is wat the world needs

[afronirvana]

dave looked sooooooo much better on drums , but on guitar his rythms are soooooooooooooooo melodic but nowhere like nirvana's or as good ,

I prefered foo fighters first album because it sound soo much like nirvana

I wish foo fighters did like a cover album of nirvana

[therocketdanni]

@afronirvana That would suck, everyone would be compering them to Nirvana, and thats why Dave dosn't want to do any Nirvana covers, because everyone would be dissing, saying they're coping :/

[beelzeb0ss]

White dress doesnt suit them lol.. id rather watch this song live

[Quinnlyboi2008]

HQ vid

[butchvign1991]

pat smear is one bad ass mother fucker!

[glerbsk8r]

I'm sorry but how wierd does dave look like that???

I meean i thought he looked odd with his hair up like on MTV unplugged with nirvana but with it down i'm like 0,o shit mannnn!

[konheeed]

nirvana are much better than foo fighters

[inuterokurt94]

mtv sucks jaust had to turn every thing into a show

[irishjay33]

fuck mtv

[konrad198]

don't care *

[konrad198]

pat's so fucking gay xD

[beensandtax]

hey man! pats a cool dude!, he just acts like tht because he can, look up the germs

[konrad198]

'he acts like that because he can'. whatever dude .

[beensandtax]

well it would be better if you knew him, sounds like your not a foo fanatic...

[konrad198]

it don't matter, cause i'm a nirvana fanatic, and pat played in with kurt, right? look closely how he behaves in MTV Unplugged, or on many other live stuff. He's always the same, and i don't about it... it just looks gay. i'm not saying that he's gay though.

[rafaa8a]

If you are calling him fucking gay , well then , you are saying he is gay .

[konrad198]

I'M NOT CALLING HIM GAY FOR FUCK"S SAKE ! i'm just tellin' he acts gay. shit... read with understanding!

[rayolacer]

thats is even more ridiculous and idiotic. "acting gay" yeahh, type of shit that is totally worth saying

[konrad198]

go crawl in your mother's ass! i didn't offend you, did i? so don't fuckn' offend me either.  learn how to start a discussion instead of writing offensive shit.

[UncleRuben1]

Who gives a fuck if he is gay or not? It has nothing to do with the music so I don't even see the point of making a big deal about it.

[konrad198]

i can't agree more. just some dude was bitchin about it the whole time, and looking for a fight

[UncleRuben1]

You are so fucking gay. Stop trying to start fights you cum dumpster!

[xxxIzekeIxxx]

r.i.p. mtv

[okarchesucksFILMS]

lol the tooth paste tube says foo breath

[davegrohllover]

Pat's shoes are funny

[whato1986]

i really liked dave's voice back then

[iseeu1980]

This was done for the hell of it... for pure fun, it seems :P

[hitmanhart66]

fk u

[IcemanCDF]

I think Dave's stoned in this!

[peti1982]

Is that Tony dancing behind Dave in the beginning???

[starsweet4]

i thought tony had short hair

[ChaseAwayDrummer]

the vid they're talking about and play at the end is "I'll stick around" but yea first song which ends at 0:40 is "This is a call"

[ogiuogi]

pat smear's shoes look weird (are they high heeled?). He kinda looks like a "bakla" from my country.

[DxRox22]

does bakla mean transvesti?

[ogiuogi]

yup can also mean a guy who acts like a girl. but in my comment I meant it to be transvestite. No offense to pat as a person. haha the shoes are just weird.

[artemis9586]

Dave looks like he is under influence of something...it is hilarious!

[Foo3112]

I remember this interview. It was on the week in rock back in 1995. Wow, Dave seemed so serious in that interview. Now he looks like he has sooo much more fun especially with Tylor. The rest of the

[UltimateBlink182Fan]

shut up

[JMax1113]

Your the FAG dude! I saw your have some Backdoor Boys! Someone is a cock smoker!!!

[UltimateBlink182Fan]

WOW he looks alot different

[BambooShadowGER]

wow, he's 13 years younger

[lomble1]

i love listening to their progression thru their albums. they were obviously influenced by nirvana at the start but soon found their own amazing style and then went crazy altogether. i love 'em!

[rimshotrulz]

The bassist and drummer are from Nirvana.

[UltimateBlink182Fan]

the only person from foo fighters who are in Nirvana is David

[grungesponge489]

pat smear duh? he was in the germs and nirvana.

[rimshotrulz]

Dave played drums in Nirvana and I frgt that Krist wsn't in Foo Fighters. What happened to Krist anyway?

[UltimateBlink182Fan]

Krist? whos that? I dont know much about the foos but Dave plays drums?!?!? I thot Taylor did only

[rimshotrulz]

Krist Novelesic was the bass player in Nirvana. And Dave Grohl layed drums for Nirvana except in one song. He played guitar and Kurt played drums and sang in that one.

[UltimateBlink182Fan]

So he plays drums and guitar? thats cool

[albatross970]

what song was that?

[clowee921]

albatross that was This Is A Call

[rimshotrulz]

And Seasons in the sun.  But the only version of that I've seen is here on Youtube.
