Fantastic! I 1'st heard this performed by Canada's next Wunderkind: Pierce Dulmage, currently 23 in Ottawa, playing in a Band called Big Age Gap! (You rock Buddy!). Dave, Find this Kid, I have watched him since he was 16- last June his performance of this made me find this.
Take in his performance of my Enviromental song "A better Way", also on utube
I am a fan of Grohl too, but to say that he is "easily one of the best songwriter [sic] in the rock world" is a joke. He is a good one, yes. But he is not one of the best. And he certainly shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Dylan.
His songs touch me in ways only a chatholic priets would understand (lol).They tell me about life,god knows Bob Dylan is a much higher level but Dave is amazeing because he gets his mesage through without useing too many lyrics.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, Grohl is great and, apart from writing well, he plays well. But his lyrics are too Nirvana-ish, you know, Kurt syle, simple and without sense most of the time, too abstract. But he's awsome, I really like his songs. And about his guitar skills, as I said, he plays wonderfully and has brilliant songs, but are quite simple, not to be compared to Stairway To Heaven or Wish You Were Here.
Well when asked about how much better this last album was than the one before and how much better they can get, his guitarist said they are still a long way from their "hotel California" but they are moving forward. P.S. I used up all of my stairway to heaven tolerance 20 years ago. Overplayed to the nth degree and treated like some kind of holy scripture by aging boomers.
no.. about every song by foo fighters you COULD say it was a tribute to kurt cobain, let it die, my hero, best of you, but i dont actually think any are
yes we will, the answer is no. Ofcourse there might be a little somewhere cause he was a part of his life.. but he's not as obsessed by it unlike most of the other people who didnt even know him personally.
From what I have read, Dave writes many of his songs acoustic, even since the days of Nirvana, and cloaks his awesome melody into incredible roaring distortion. Beautiful melody hidden in kick ass electric distortion; that's the secret of the Foo Fighters.
This song originally was on the Foo Fighters album "One By One", but that is the electric version, the only acoustic version I have is off the live album "Skin and Bones". If you find this particular studio acoustic version elsewhere, please let me know too.
This guy has talent to spare. Great redition of this song. Real layed back. Dave is a great drummer as well as playing piano also. His song writing skills speak for themselves. To many artist we lose to the corporate bullshit, and they just go into producing music.
other than loving this song with all my heart, and knowing how to play it this videos just shows raw emotion and passion for the love of music... and at 1:32 theres a naked chick poster in the background!
David Grohl, you knew you where a musician. I know how you felt when you where a young boy. You knew you could do this, but your parents and friends had no idea what was to come from you. You became a legend. Something that will be still here through time. You are a hero.
its sounds better if you play am then quickly go into am7 but leave the top e open, and same again with em go from that that to em7, hope it helps anyone if you think it sounds wrong your more tha welcome to slag me off lol xx peace and empathy
same all way through mate it repeats its c em to ... erm d on chourous and intro is d changing to ddus ... but u can play iwt wit -0-5-0-5-0-5 changing to 0-0-0-5-0-5 its intor :p if u got any of dat lmao
Hadn't heard this song before, but they played Glen Campbell's version on the radio last week, so I wanted to find it and compare. Sorry, Glen - Mr G's amazing!
the definitive version IMHO! Dave Grohl rules.

dave grohl is a true master of his profession and people should be so grateful that he shares his talent and makes songs like this.
