Foo Fighters live @ Yahoo Live Sets 2007 - The Pretender

[Realist413]

This video is a lot better if you squint.

PS: Taylor Hawkins is the shit. I don't think he gets enough credit.

[Adiaf8oros]

OMG Katy Perry uses the exact same guitar as Dave's at "Ur so gay"... lol xD

[GuitarmanMo]

dave grohl.....

hearing the name alone makes me wet myself, and i can just about handle the voice without my head exploding

[Elgen66]

crap video/sound sync!!!!!!!!!

[popajiznut]

@Elgen66Hey i agree. I would like to see the vid..Is ther some kind of Yahoo copyright?just about every yahoo live set, or yahoo vid is out of sync.YAHOOO LET US WATCH FUCKIN VIDS WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yaxowx]

holly fuck this shit is outta sync like a motherfucker

[waynehamada79]

My Idol

[offdutyjie]

Fucken Dave Grohl in the beginning lol. What a fucken LEGEND!

[HAW711]

hahaha right at 0:57 =P?

[christoph182lehnert]

all the yahoo live vids are out of sync. but who cares? foo fighters still rock as hell!

Love them and their performances =)

[cameronjokhanisaledg]

who's the fourth guitarist?????

[NiQui101]

it's pat smear! the original 4th member of the foo's! previously the sessionist of nirvana.....

[monkeypenios]

The video is out of sync.

[MrPeterGroove]

pat smear the legend,the closer human to jesus christ

[Podegra]

Wow it sounds like studio track. Kinda late I'm starting to like Foo Fighters.

[RockSurfer26]

theres sth wrong with vid & the audio

[kakabli31]

DAVID GROHL is SO AwSoMe!!!!!!

[hernandeznathan50]

The girl on the stage with the Foo fighters is hot!!

[gamedivir123]

theres something wronge in this vid...

[Bonsai006]

it starts out fine then tweaks out after a bit

[baqteria]

Pat Smear is back.

[rockbandstop]

dude that is really out of sync make sure you get it good before you put it on

[montey2]

lol this is incredibly out of sync :S

[guitaro11188]

damn they're sick, audio's off but i'm obviously not the first to point that out, so i guess im a dick for doin it anyway...they should amp up taylor's mic if he's doing the high vocals in the chorus though

[skinnyhurley]

you're a dumbass if you think is lip synced..

[peppobello]

yessssss yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[foo131]

they arent lip sincing the quaility was just a little off. great song great band great everything. end of story. FF for life.

[ty07689]

dude there lip singing ! i nomally like fo fighters but this is gay ya can see it at 3:53 am i right

[feelxmyxwrath]

no your wrong

[iplayally1]

erm no you are not right dumbass

[cetevs]

cant knock a foo song, great music, but the editing on this clip is terrible, it's outta sync cause they arent singing the same part of the song, the pics repeat themselves

[laziest]

the 2nd voice was too loud i think... it over-rides grohl's voice... but still, what an excellent song

[ysk9011]

the 2nd voice should be louder in fact, in the chorus... if you've heard the studio version

[laziest]

now im confused... is grohl singing the higher tone? coz in the music video grohl seems to be shouting in the chorus as if he's the one who's singing the higher voice...

[laziest]

if you've heard the studio version?... lol... only for a kajillion times! ^^

[ysk9011]

???

[celis111]

Its actually good because that 2nd voice in the chorus is the one that makes this song sounds like the studio version of the song

[DrSpazzo]

out of sync but i love them!

[dawnuld]

man taylor hawkins is amazing

[UberPo0dle]

these guys are so freaking good live, i couldnt tell the difference from studio version.

[MattMadoniMusic]

the live version seems set at a much slower tempo

[grull]

taylor hawkins is singing the main melody while dave is singing the harmonising vocals...the balancing cannot be perfect cos drummer's singing mic will usually be softer than the main singers mic as it might pick up too much of the drum sound...amazing band by the way

[hozckar16]

esta muy chido

[Caspernil]

This live version is so much better than the grammy awards one, by like a mile.

[jorshee]

This song COOKS! No reason to be hypercritical here. Dave G. had some voice issues recently but this is one HHOTT SONG!!!

[originofsymmetry91]

dear me, seems like old dave cant reach the proper notes in this one. i guess the bits his voice can reach sounds good, but i hate when bands make songs they cant play live, and dave grohl has obviously made a song he cant sing properly live

[pugnerd]

never insult dave grohl. he's amazing!!!

[bajondy]

ya fight that foo!

[jameskirkajfa]

ROFLOLMAO

[93smiki]

no Foo Fighters concerts where i live ;(

[Nosdormu]

i feel you, man

[bluebones]

So do i.. : ( when the hell are they coming to madrid!!!

[RHLHRHLH]

out of sync? no way.. hahaha, nah good band, i enjoyed their melbourne concert, in the review they bagged the acoustic set, but i thuoght it was mega cool

[marcbayerschen]

THAT IS MY SONG

[RockYoWorld]

I GET TO SEE THEM LIVE ON FRIDAY!

[kingjoe448]

unreal song 4 an unreal band!!

[varuktsaffal]

miserabel geschnitten

[Tengent]

This is so out of sync it's not even funny. D:

[heffman102]

ok why does he get a bad comment? he was just statin a fact

[samreiu]

fuckin fuck

[Mauriciano66]

una de las mejores canciones

[AVAmarc182]

I like he vocals in the chorus, with Taylor taking lead, it's really cool

[lari4036]

its kind of hard to tell who does what, are you sure?

[AVAmarc182]

Yea pretty sure I can really clearly hear dave doing the low part

[GabonGuitarM]

ya, he does the low part.

[safcdan1994]

the out of sync-ness is DRIVIN ME MAD!! AHH its so bad love the song like saw thm live Newcastle October 07

[rockabillychickee]

this is beyond awesome wish i had been there

[punkker666]

why did pat smear leave the band??

[thejackisback]

i read it was family issues.

he is older then most of them and he wanted to spend more time with his kids and wife.

cause of touring.

guess its all good now?

[azza160290]

he still plays with em some times tho played on the skin and bones tour in 06

[viperdude281]

why doesnt he sing the lead part in the chorus?

[4ourty5ive]

its too high for him to sing live. SInce he's moving around more and tryingto think. Not like recording a song. The drummer doesn't sing except for the main chorus vocals so he's pretty much saving his voice JUST for that so he can hit those notes.

[VicBivo1991]

because hes not a good singer...they sould make songs that he can sing lol

[dernaegle]

lets hear you sing dork!

[EmoHunter818]

the problem is that usually taylor sings the part louder and more intense than dave, but live taylors micro is never as loud as daves micro,.

[yankeesrocku20]

i have tht bass

[Guitarchordhelper]

what guitar does the other guitar player have not dave, and not the one with the les paul??

[hamdigidy]

i wouldn't say 100 percent for sure, but i think it's a venture. that or it has to be a venture copy cat

[lildigiman]

its a very distinct shape, and they are discontinued by the original manufacturer, so either it's vintage or copy.

[paulfinney]

I believe it might be a Hagstrom. Pat Smear is known to play them quite often. the blue one Dave is playing is his soon to be signature model.

[lildigiman]

It is NOT a hagstrom - I just don't remember the name of it. Pat has the Largest collection of hagstrom, and thats not one of em. (I got some hagstroms too)

[dsradiance]

The yellow one? Its a gibson Les paul from 1998 i think

[Guitarchordhelper]

no the blue one

[petemack75]

Looks like a Danelectro.

[ShredderOfBodom]

Les paul goldtop 57'

[diugona]

really cool song!

but I didn't know that the drummer Taylor can sings

sorry, my english is verry bad...

[youngcyberman]

It's not actually Dave Grohl doing the screaming in the chorus on the album it is the drummer Taylor who does that

[ranga212]

this is one of my fave foo songs fantastic band

[centerpower66]

Imma huge fun of the Foo Fighters but I was a little disappointed that Dave wasnt like goin all out on the chorus. oh well. Just means I wont watch this again.

[tgscho]

its like hes almost outa breath or somin

[p0llyp0ps]

love very sou mucho... beijao

[Sk8Nerd125]

im seeing them live in july

[SERxxxBILL]

There good

[pipandrew]

whhat a performence from a 39 year old woot

[ktipaso]

Wow hey i didnt know Pat was back with the foo fighters, thats cool

[adam19892nv]

wat tha hell?? is this like cut from another live performance or it juss really really lagss..?!?!?

sounds good n yes kills tha energy wen he dznt scream in tha chorus coz hes 2 old 2 sing that hi he's still awsum.. tha drummer has his own band wher he sings thatz y he's doin tha chorus i like girls and need to poo

[purplexbuddha]

i hate how dave doesn't scream during the chorus like the in the music video. really kills the energy

[sickomcflippo]

the opening notes sound a tiny bit like stairway to heaven

[JosefF777]

Great Performance....saw these guys live not long ago they rocked sydney like its never been rocked before...dave is just a crowd pleaser...chris and nate are quiet under acheivers and taylor is just a great drummer and aslo a great singer

[ahughes798]

Dang! What a hot performance! It's everything rock should be.

[pipandrew]

this is the best live performence of pretender i have seen on yutube

[sharty5000]

you havent seen the one on my profile!

[jrc17]

Dave Grohl NEVER dissapoints.

[desperationeyes]

look at his hair lol xD

[tomwolff]

If I wasn't already on the toilet I'd be really pissed I just blew a load.

[slashdelbarrio]

hey check my video of The Pretender, much better quality than this one XD!

[Systemofadownist]

Hey they have rugs on the stage just like System!(S.O.A.D) Cool. Love the foos =) Good performance but horrible vid lol no offense

[drummerjoelb]

Man... Taylor is just awesome. (The drummer- for anyone who didn't know) I'm gonna go see them on Monday. Awesome...

[blueredmystery]

Great song!

Great performance!

[twiztedjustin]

omg they've become LYNNARD SKYNTARD

[NameIsTibbs]

Shut up, noob.

[rushrox869]

wtf

[Hendygui]

good job ruining a great preformance :(

i love you Foo Fighters

[knoxymama]

I was there live - it sounded awesome at the show. Sometimes the audio doesn't transfer well. It was completely AWESOME.

[foofightin1112]

"One of my shoes is not like the other!" LOL that's how my friend's Dad would sing this song and we'd just crack up laughing. He's really a big Foo fan but i dunno why he likes changing lyrics?? hehehehe!!

[bluebones]

brutal... im thinking the phrase in spanish.. its just funny.. xD

[bainsy911]

not to sound sad but the drummer in this is speaking but no one can here him watch carefully

[Greatdestroyerlol]

its out of sync thats why

and the screaming is the drummer lol

i realized it was out of sync

[bainsy911]

ow good i thought they were mimers

[Nickelbackfreak4322]

im seeing these guys next monday in Montreal

[greendayandu2rule]

this guys are awesome cant wait to see them when they come to australia and play in brisbane

[irulez10]

sounded like stairway to heaven at the very beginning before he started singing.. well a litte

[juan909s]

yeah i know huh! but its still a great song ;)

[angelicansh]

Playback?

[masatomega]

The pic freezes at some points and makes the sound go ahead of the picture. Synch problem.

[Gecko170692]

yes and it nerves

[Hendygui]

your right its terrible

[comlax22]

It's kinda funny...love the song, terrible video syncing but still laughable.

[foofightersfever]

i love this song and live is better

[foofightersfever]

i love this song and live is better

[foofightersfever]

i love this song and live is better

[foofightersfever]

i love this song and live is better

[Greatdestroyerlol]

i saw them live dude

best fuckin show ive ever been to

the crowd was awesome too

[fisefjes]

cool dude im going to see them live in bergen in june :D im so happy for that

[SamJells123]

The Foo Fighters are AMAZING! They rock sooooooo hard!!

[edzdeman]

this is shit cus its out of sync ruins the whole video

[GrayXIII]

sounds better than they did at the grammies.

[letdtst99]

Yes that's Pat Smear, And he's touring with them , I just saw them play in Reno last Feb1,2008.

[lithium687]

he wasnt at the garden

[Derek2722]

I was goning to go to the Reno show but at the last minute i decided not to go and then i saw on the news that the train i would have taken there got stuck in the snow and was there for a couple days.

[VaNSaNT85]

is pat smear the other guitar player (at the very left of the scream) ?????

[bonzo1251]

what the fuck its outta sync...STILL SOUNDS AWESOME =D

[moberod]

This is the best live performance I've seen of this song. Number one, Dave sounds the best on it, and number 2, they have Taylor's mic a little higher than in other versions. He's the lead singer on the chorus. TURN HIS MIC UP!

[Checkerdshoes2145]

dave is always CHEWING GUM!!!!!!!!!!

[Guitar862]

lmao Dave's hilarious...maybe a lil new stuff...maybe a lil old stuff. Ill tell u what, its on now! foo fighters ROCK

[mikerooman]

muy buen tema, pero el video esta desfazado con el sonido.

[sparklepalmo]

haha i can see myself in the video

[IplayTRUMPETSdawg]

To Ines21, Repost this video please..out of sync

P.S.--FOO FIGHTERS FTW!

[FunkyPlatypus]

LMFAO I didn't notice it went out of sync until 4:02. Wow. Shame, cuz that's the best audio of the Pretender I've heard on Youtube.

[drummerdude024]

out of time

[carriefanboy]

dave goes an octave lower whenever he gets to the chorus... :-(

[idonthavefleas]

Taylor (drummer) sings the loud screaming part on the CD, Dave sings the lower back-up vocals, but Dave's mic is usually always louder live so you can't really hear Taylor :/

[killwill07]

the drummer sings the high part in the song. in the actual song if you listen hard enough you can hear daves part also.

[Albertokq]

Dude the music was AWSOME but the video was wrong made.

[.][.]  ^^ ()

[gijsers]

the best band ever!

[SkeletonVic]

HE LOOKS LIKE JESUS

[alexcarroll15]

dave is better than jesus

[thatoneguy7129]

dave is practically god.

[refused215]

gamxxx is a fag

[RustyShackleford771]

This is a great song but not as good live maybe it would have been better if the video wasn't lagging behind the music

[gamxxxx]

fuckin' showboat ...god I hate him so much...should have kept drumming for Queens of the stone age...would have had more respect...little bitch !

[sharty5000]

your goin to hell

[mcneely2818]

gonna see then live in nashville next month, cant fuckin wait.
