[Sh1ttywaffles]

That would be an unreal concert to go to, look at red hot chili peppers playing californication at slane :)

[dmitry1066]

hahaha taylor looks afraid of the drums

[TW4T50N]

Music of today doesn't even come close to this. Or any rock music where artists play instruments and sing without the aid of shitty computers.

[beitland12345]

One man to rule them all.

[Zvideos1000]

1:14 , Let me play you the song of my people.

[exploder237]

[psylomushroom]

Oh. Wait. To all the world. To all the people of my generation (I'm 17yo) and younger. THIS is ARTISTS. THIS is MUSIC.

[Yesterdayss]

I don't care what the die hard fans say, it's just not the same without Dave's screaming. It has a certain charm that adds to the song.

[AaronRhcpBass]

@ 1:37, that cello girl looks like a japanese animation

[felixwilliam30]

EPIC

[DaSwagMan1021]

wtf did dave's balls drop right before the chorus?

[damntheday666]

1:49 rock that chello

[halfhawkeainsley]

@damntheday666 it's a cello :/

[damntheday666]

@halfhawkeainsley thats what i ment im not a very good speller

[TheRockout247]

the singers needs to sing harder when it goesII: WHAT IF I SAY IM NOT LIKE THE OTHERS WHAT IF I SAY IM NOT JUST ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR PLAYS YOURE THE PRETENDER WHAT IF I SAY ILL NEVER SURRENDER:ll

[Oggie1848]

@TheRockout247 Dave Grohl does what he wants, when he wants.

[DreddWolff]

@TheRockout247 'the singer'? How the fuck can you not know who this god is?? Da fuck???? It's Dave Grohl!!!!!!!

[halfhawkeainsley]

@TheRockout247 Or, he could sing what he sings on the recording, and the sound engineer could turn up the drummer's mic?

and yeah, it's also called preserving your voice :/

[henriqueznful]

Every day I wake up and say to myself, "I'm gonna battle to be better thant Dave Grohl"

.

[sosafan509]

Every day I wake up and say to myself, "I wish I was Dave Grohl".

[RageAvenue]

I love that moment, when every one is silent then all you hear is Fuking Epic Ass music and Dave Grohl runs on stage, best moment of my life !

[EinSofQuester]

Josh krajicks version is better.

[wattsthat67]

what i would do to be sitting in those empty seats at 0:37



[supercooljesse99]

i'm REALLY digging the xylophone.

[DanieleBlueStorm]

He's keeping his fucking voice down. Can make muuuuch better. Love this song.

[BlackBeltDemon]

Lol I love how Dave's hair is a back up singer.

[qwertynot]

at 1:14 he's like "I'm god and here I give you the best song ever"

[janey0901]

dave grogl sounds pretty bad here :(

[crazidoode]

That's a lot of people!

[Farlane116]

foo fighters would make super bowl 2012 better

[Seed1992]

Dave Grohl knows not what it means... whoever understands. R.I.P. Kurt.

[BsophieeeB]

love this song!!

[TheFuryoftheDragon]

amazing song and live performance

[1981CMT]

DAVE XOXOX

[XKnuckleChildrenX]

@mattwa33186 obviously you've never been to a concert..

[mattwa33186]

They opened with this. Who the fuck does that? 99.999% of bands if they had a song this good would use it as their third encore. Every one of those empty seats represents someone who will be kicking themselves in the ass forever for not getting inside sooner.

[bercicha]

@mattwa33186 when your Dave you can do what the fuck you want bro!!!

[JobenPruitt]

Taylor hits the snare so hard, he flinches from being scared of it everytime...

[A7XfoREVerA7Xcjl]

if i could go gay.. itd be for dave grohl, or dave grohls guitar...

[czapiewski100]

every guy out there has a secret man crush on Dave Grohl and don't you fucking lie about it either

[TheFillyPhan]

@czapiewski100 I saw him in Philly a few days ago...man crush on him and Hawkins :)

[JapanEyedPinoy]

@czapiewski100 I won't lie about it. Actually, I'm pretty open about my man crush on him.  XD

[TheFillyPhan]

@czapiewski100 I love Dave Grohl :)

[achmedda3rd]

taylor actually has a better voice than dave- its not as unique, but is pretty damn good and he can reach those higher notes-he actually sings the main chorus part like it is supposed to be sung whilst dave cant manage it

[eBii14]

1:14 fucking epic moment

[TrooperRagnar000]

Kurt will be proud

[BassOMasta]

HEY LOOK! Anyone else that see Pat Smear in the background :)

[greenday6075]

this is best song ever!!!

[ithinkou]

breath taking.

[seetheeskimo]

Dave Grohl is strangely attractive.... :P

[funkybunnyify]

love it

[Menry14]

Best song Ever!

Come To Holland!

[oilerfreak1978]

going to Foo tonight in Edmonton, Canada.... cant fucking wait

[legodidakt]

@oilerfreak1978 lucky fucking bastard!!!!!!!! Enjoy it will be the best night in your life!!!!

[Awsomundo123]

0:37 what are those empty seats doing there... they must have snuck in.

[ENTRY8band]

@Awsomundo123 the people in them had to be taken out because they fainted from an overdose of pure awesomeness

[EMINEMFAN320]

@Awsomundo123 You can see that two persons are returning to their seats in that moment.

[todAnthony]

@Awsomundo123 Ninjas love the Foo Fighters too.

[garethedwardvaughan]

@0:20

The best goal ever scored at Wembley!!

Dave Grohl 1 Wembley 0

[SanitiseYourMind]

Guys Nirvana and Foo fighters are both incredible bands... stop with the comparisons.

[ssike01]

Second rate. Sorry.

[Galaga2014]

I love how they dance around :D

[dfghjdfhd]

where are the cops?

[nick58069]

when you look up the word "rockstar" in the dictionary it says, "did you mean fucking rockstar?" and then shows you a picture of Dave Grohl

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@nick58069 i don't know what kind of dictionary you have, but mine is paper, so it can't do that lol

[MsSusanne84]

Just WOW!

[sickheadc123]

i wish jesus would take his mask off for once, jesus we all know your dave grohl...

[Sickusmungkys]

love the girl on this video :)

[osusguy]

@Sickusmungkys - Jessy Greene. 

[Tknopsky]

@misteurilo yeah Muse! :P

[ludocrat]

Shame he fucked up his voice. Freddie always tried to keep the key - and nearly almost always did (whenever I saw him live) because his songs demanded it.

Dave Grohl should have the same respect for his own music - partly because it is just as good - but mainly because it's better!

[sicnarf2]

@ludocrat Listen again to the CD version. The chorus has those two same vocal lines. It's just the main (higher) line is a lot louder in the recording. Dave's singing the lower part because the higher line is high (lol), plus he has to sing the entire show, a lot more than Taylor. Makes sense to make sure your voice is good, right?

[MrChonnyChimole]

Nirvana was Kurts band. Foo Fighters is Daves band. They are not identical twins with the same DNA. Their music is different, embrace it.

[Thorjussen]

hahaha the drummer at 2:16 :D:D AWESOME performance by an awesome band!

[B2Rockin]

Unfreakinbelievable, these guys are the shit!!!

[Thisismusic1969]

@misteurilo Muse sucks my big ass cock

[retroge]

imho kurt is so proud, dave...

[pd07048patrick]

could he be any more out of breath?

[HenchHawth]

... im sorry... did he just play the keyboard with his face?... 3:30

[OisinCarlin66]

@3:30 ARE WE DONE YET I'M TIRED!!

[ijtheibert]

Foo Fighters Superbowl Show 2012?

[OfficialJab]

[colunaprestes]

[jezzcrap]

featuring Simon Pegg on bass

[iDrumxx]

@jezzcrap hahahaha never actually noticed that lol :D

[PBANDSNOW]

I love how you can barely even see Pat yet its his and Daves band!

[FooFightersFan666]

@PBANDSNOW

Pat and Daves band ? what are you talking about ?

Dave made the first album alone, and after that he asked nate , william and pat to join the band.

Pat is and always will be a foo fighter but it's daves band...

[maxamo1000]

0:35 "God damnit dude I forgot straws.."

[kloaaa]

1:13 is fucking amazing, love how they start this song!

[NuclearManXD]

1:46 only God could scream like that

[HajrudinPranjga]

my dream

[redbearwoodall]

@ardbucho1 Dude, I'm not sure you know what religion means. I consider myself a religious guy, I love rock, the foo fighters are one of my favorite bands, and I can't stand pop. All I was asking was why it gave a warning when he didn't swear in the song, and someone already gave me the answer. Don't get your panties in a twist.

[CanadianStereotype]

Nirvana and Foo Fighters only bands that can say they're grunge all others and punk rock bands just sit the fuck down, please.

[crasher12ish]

@CanadianStereotype lol you know nothing about grunge music. Nirvana is hardly grunge, maybe Bleach and a bit of incesticide, but not Nevermind or In Utero. The foo fighters being grunge is just a friggin' joke. Take a look at some bands like Kyuss, the screaming trees or mudhoney if you wanna listen to grunge. Don't believe me? Ask Dave and Kurt, they're the ones who said it first.

[CanadianStereotype]

@crasher12ish Are you fucking down-syndrome Kurt created grunge with Nirvana.

[joeldrums19]

@CanadianStereotype

Chill out.

No, Kurt DID NOT creat grunge. But Nirvana, much thanks to Kurt since he wrote the most of the music, made grunge huge.

Whatever, Kurt was on the best man whose ever been alive. Rip

[CanadianStereotype]

@joeldrums19 Everyone can agree he was an amazing vocalist RIP

[joeldrums19]

@CanadianStereotype

Absolutly, one of the best songwriter I've ever heard to, amazing lyrics.

For sure Dave is great to, but not as great.

[CanadianStereotype]

@joeldrums19 That's because Cobain wasn't like "Oh shit I gotta write a song by tomorrow lemme do a quick one or lemme smoke some dope and write one" because he played music because he loved it not because he wanted fame and fortune.

[joeldrums19]

@CanadianStereotype

Dude, spot on!! Exactly my point, and that's why some band are great live, because they play with their hearts.

[shinjaokee]

grunge generation...from Nirvana.. =)

[redbearwoodall]

Anyone else confused by the explicit warning at the beginning? O.o

[LordWeedSmoker]

@redbearwoodall Yeah i was like WTF

[SpartanNick255]

@redbearwoodall Judging by the looks of his hair, it's not all wet looking, it's probably one of the first songs they sang, because when they sang "Best of you" he was swearing xD

[ardbucho1]

@redbearwoodall apparently rock and roll is the devils work.Fucking A holes,anything that goes against society or is not bieber or gaga related is frowned upon by religious idiots,What the fuck!!!!!!

[miffufatcrazy1]

@redbearwoodall

Some people could get offended by the extremities of Dave Grohls talent

[ThaKingAri]

@redbearwoodall It was the popo and the government. tey put it ther.

[nirvanagrunge97]

Eso si...Kurt y dave son cosas diferentes Kurt era mejor guitarrista! pero dave fue el mejor bateria cuando estaba con Nirvana asi q yo pienso q formaron un gran grupo! y dejemos de comparar a Kurt y Dave! son dos grandes personas que estuvieron guntas e algun momento y lo hisieron muy bn!!!

[nirvanagrunge97]

Grande Dave!! realmente admiro muchisimo a este muchacho! despues de lo que paso con Nirvana y el ''Suicidio'' de el gran Kurt Cobain...Tubo valor para seguir adelante con su carrera!! realmente te mereces estar donde estas aora Dave!!

Sin duda...el mejor Grupo de hoy en dia Foo Fighters!!

[kasandhbs]

I know, my bad whiplash, i regret all the bad things i said about Foo Fighters. I did read about them before and appreciate their muaic alot more. Their an amazing band. So, I'm sorry. I'm still a huge Nirvana fan but I actually night go see Foo Fighters live. Their coming where I live. Im definately gnna consider it.

[SatellitesAndStarsHQ]

" Playing at Air Canada Centre, Toronto on Aug 9, 2011". The phone bill can wait!!

[lakerman89]

Stop with the Nirvana/Foo Fighters compairisons!!! Most of you look like total douche-bags for saying shit anyways. Just enjoy the music and shut the fuck up!!!

[Nialld271]

@lakerman89 

[Nialld271]

@lakerman89 wel said, epic song

[kasandhbs]

Man, u shut the fuck up wayward band, Kurt Cobain is way better than Dave Grohl, Dave Grohl is a really good musician. Just in my opinion....and in many other peoples opinions. Kurt Cobains just a better vocalist and guitarist. Kurt just more of a legend to me

[vanpri19]

You guys are too funny....Dave yea he was in nirvana but now he is in FOO FIGHTERS! Those are too completely different bands! Kurt and Dave were friends how is not Dave gonna take some of the advice that Kurt told him about! Ugh -.-

[waywardband]

kasandhbs, shut up man. dave grohl is a legend and he makes awesome music...and your a wanker

[kasandhbs]

Aslo, eddiediaz41 is right, at 5:35, He totally rips off of Kurt Cobains style of music. Like I said before, hes such a wannabe, he cant come up with his own signatire style of screaming/singing, he had to copy of his former band member. Such a lame. Shows his true talent.

[kasandhbs]

Man, i like The Foo Fighters and all, but fuck Dave Grohl, (Lead Singer. He was the drummer for Nirvana, and after Kurt died, he thought he culd be as good and a legend like how Kurt Cobain is, but Dave Grohl will never be as good as Kurt Cobain. Hes just a wannabe.

[Whiplash721]

@kasandhbs What in the fuck are you talking about? Go read a fucking biography. Dave didn't know what to do with himself after Kurt died, and didn't want to be a drummer the rest of his life, so he started Foo Fighters as a little side project, and obviously he's doing just a LITTLE okay with it. People like you just need to learn your shit and shut up.
