Foo Fighters - Requiem

[r3playretro]

fucking brilliant cover. didn't dave grohl play drums for killing joke for a short while?

[Johnoco66]

Musically not bad but vocals are not good enough. No venom.

Still, respect given for covering it.

[alexynere9]

Ladies and gentleman, here are the FOO FIGHTERS!

[cjrocksu]

Nice job Foo Fighters, I use to listen to these guys (Killing Joke) in the eighties. They were fresh and kind of dark at the time . . . not so pop

[Photonzos]

sounds like a perfume advert

[MCshlthead]

this song wasnt on the color and the shape was it????

[TheFirstJedi]

@MCshlthead On the extended edition. So was "Down in the Park".... :)

[patsfan41191]

this would make a perfect ringtone with just the instrumental

[albertolocoteymasloc]

is FOO FIGHTERS

[wrecktem]

Missing the shouts...the shouts make this song powerful. Dave should have known better -- he's a shouter par excellence.

[dkr56]

@wrecktem I know, I'm not sure what angle he took when covering this. It should have some flare and agrression, the guitars/drums achieved it, just not the vocals

[rockypc24]

good but not as good as the orignal

[negativewierdo]

@rockypc24 this is a cover?

[rockypc24]

@negativewierdo yes

[negativewierdo]

@rockypc24 cover of who?

[rockypc24]

@negativewierdo killing joke

[Satyagrahaha]

Check out the close up video of Geordie Walker playing "Requiem" with Killing Joke live in Prague. Enjoy!

[MrGenXer]

I love that lick!

[Psychowilly]

This version is pretty weak. Not that I was expecting it to be great or nothing. The original is a apocalyptic flood better.

[Problembeing]

Lacks the intensity. This song has no angst, anger or anything. It simply plods like a boring dream.

[makeghandi]

@Problembeing If you don't like good music don't listen to it then.

[Problembeing]

@makeghandi Don't make me LAUGH!!

[Problembeing]

@makeghandi Listen to the original by Killing Joke, and THAT is a lesson in good music.

[dkr56]

@Problembeing

9 times out of 10 the original is always better than the cover. So why are you on here telling us something we already know? GTFO

[Problembeing]

@dkr56 Get over yourself.

[dkr56]

@Problembeing you get over yourself, I'm not the one coming on to videos and trolling

[Problembeing]

@dkr56 I came on here to offer my opinion. I'm not of your generation of 'trolling' for amusement. I happen to offer my subjective view on here, as anyone is allowed to do, and I exercised that. If you don't like it, tough.

[dkr56]

@Problembeing stop being such a twat. Just because foo fighters made a cover of a band from your day, doesn't mean it's bad. The original is better. But who gives a shit, as I said, 90% of originals are.

[Problembeing]

@dkr56 Well, I see you had to resort to using personal abuse, which shows your level of maturity, so I'll end it there. Good day.

[OneInchMan95]

pretty solid

[theagk19781]

What's not to like,

What a great track to chill out to

[deadboys1010]

Kinda begs for Jaz shouting, gotta admit.

Musically, its pretty solid.

[thegorillasnake]

Pretty solid.

[rockinbstrd]

What a great song/cover of the Foo's!! I just heard this song yesterday but def one of my favorites of the Foo's and in music general!!

[aikinen]

Much better than the Joke's original! A bit 'subdued' compared to the version on the XXV'th Gathering - which, as I'm sure any Joke fan will agree, is unbeatable :)

[tmofee]

i originally got the four cover songs on a bonus disc they released for their aussie tour... which im glad for, for some reason requiem, baker street etc missed out as b sides on our singles , although we got a very cute acoustic cover of for all the cows where inbetween the verses dave goes "i wish we had a drummer" hahah

[paolorossifan2006]

grohl's vocals suck. musically the song is good

[RobsonPresleyPes]

This is the Shit Version of that great KJ's song.

Dave Grohl is a sucker

[MitchRulzWorld]

@RobsonPresleyPes Dave Grohl (of the Foo Fighters and Nirvana) was the drummer on KJ's self-titled 2003 album. So can we all just get along now?

[WhackyJonathan13]

f*kn AMAZIN song

luvs foos

[foo95ify]

cool

[UnforgivingBat]

the best part of this song in my opinion is

0:00 to 3:30 im sure most would agree with me

LOVE THE FOO FIGHTERS

[djxiii]

Solid cover. Wish Dave's vocals were higher in the mix though. Cool languid vibe to this version...

[dudeinthesuperunkown]

i cant understand how alot of people think this cover is bad....this is chill and amazing,way better then the KJ version

[RATMfan92]

Long live grunge!!!

[BreakingGlass77]

It's kinda weird that they'd cover this, considering the whole "Come As You Are" thing. I'm sure the hardcore fans know what i'm talking about.

[tmofee]

@BreakingGlass77 that's the thing. they were big fans... killing joke got a little bit antsy, but it was more flattery than anything else. i mean, dave played drums on KJ's latest album...

[Timmy1323]

this is one of the B sides

[9balll]

lol- 10th anniversary special edition. has 6 bonus tracks.

[YousickToo]

wtf!?!?!?! I love this cd, but i've NEVER heard this before!!!

[hhhseanhbk]

It's on the expanded edition.

[choochbag1]

there is no bonus track on my copy which i purchased close to the original release. :(

[Powerman150]

Like this song........ I like the album!!!!!!!!!

[Rosii93]

Amazing song!

:)

[FGPTyler]

Great song... Amazing cover, in my opinion... My only complaint is the looped guitar track... But I love that part too!!!!

[pritepony2]

this song is on the colour and the shape as a bonus track

[WisconsinParkour]

this is a hidden/bonus track?

it's not on colour and shape

[Spacemonkey9700]

I think it´s on the anniversary edition

[notforyou760]

God I love this song.

[liljdude94]

this one sbetter than killing joke

[PhillipFlan2008]

is it hell?

[FGPTyler]

I agree... Killing Joke is cool and all... But this is just a great cover.

[thesoulman573]

this song is awesome

[Neogetter02]

[Mackenzieful]

@Neogetter02 6/5!

[tommy6222]
