[golluba]

[hisboyreunion]

Dave breaks a string at 2:10

[maxpayne232]

[sebast007007]

[IGotARight]

My vote for single greatest moment in rock and roll television history.

[grUngEroX1991]

The younger dave was the better.

[EpicNinjaGuy123]

I prefer hairy Dave...

[puma0927]

@AmericanMonsters they aren't miming! 1) It sounds different from the original 2) some imperfections can be heard 3) they use wireless transmitters. :D

[MAJORleague32]

@AmericanMonsters no, are you crazy

[UnforgivenEpisodes]

Right, let me get this straight, Dave can drum, play guitar, sing and scream... He is god.

[themanchild27]

@UnforgivenEpisodes he plays bass too

[UnforgivenEpisodes]

@themanchild27 xox Epic.

[EmiRoxYa]

@UnforgivenEpisodes he also plays the piano and bass.

and he recorded the first Foo Fighter album all on his own.

so yeah, he's definitely god.

[TheFoofanatic]

@AmericanMonsters no they dont...

[WarpGam1ng]

Dave is looking so hot here. Man he can melt my bones.

[DrewMongo]

around :13 we got a pit sniffer in the bottom left

[TheMsSmallvillian]

Haha, totally loved the pause in the beginning. And this song is definitely one of the best on the CD, along with M.I.A, Learn to fly and Live-In Skin :)

[happyhibee5824]

best band of there generation defo underated

[Ising4u93]

Okay the foo fighters are one of my fucking favorite bands...they are impressive as fuck live!

PS - I like this look on Dave the best.

PPS - They are underrated as hell. Go check out their new stuff!

[SamJB1997]

@Ising4u93 I agree on both lol

[TheIRSMusic]

@Ising4u93 what band is you're favorite

[Michellicious1997]

this is legit!

[vsi200]

wow people saying foo fighters are better then nirvana and all that.. for one they are both kick asssssssss fucking ROCK bands.. and if it was not for nirvana there would be no dave sooooo think about what yall say 1st.. if you asked dave if he would be who he was today with out nirvana he would say no.. and saying kurt was not anything special? wtf seriously if it was not for him and his music all ur stupid shitty bands today would not be here.. kurt was kick ass.. and he was badass singer me

[ub4rpwnage]

epic pause at beginning hahaa

[FoolTime123]

thumbs up if you typed in: "breakout" and the suggestions were "breakout miley cyrus"

makes me wanna puke

[IGotARight]

One of the best moments ever in rock TV history.

[TJRy12921]

Nirvana is good, and not to belittle Cobain's life at all, but we probably wouldn't have the Dave Grohl and his music that we know today had Nirvana stayed together. In my opinion Nirvana is good, but the Foo Fighters are great. I feel like people remember Cobain being so much better than he actually was just because he died. Of course he was instrumental in the Grunge movement, but he really wasn't anything special playing and singing wise.

[mrslobby26]

why oh why do people still go on about Nirvana. This is Foo Fighters and thats that. I never listened to Nivarna when they were around and liked the Foo's straight away. Listened to some of Cobains stuff recently and its crap towards the Foo's.

[RebelThoughts]

@mrslobby26 Because the Foo Fighters are for idiotic frat boys. Nirvana is for real rockers.

[mrslobby26]

@RebelThoughts Nirvana were grunge NOT rock!

[Eldererr]

@mrslobby26

And Grunge is not subgenre of rock..oh my people.Grunge is GUITAR sound not style.

[mclaxman19]

@RebelThoughts i disagree. frat boys listen to justin beiber.

[lackofspeed]

@RebelThoughts Nirvana had the same problem. Thats why Kurt Cobain hated being a "rock star".

[kooldawgdizzle]

Dave looks so emo here lol

[douglifelsh]

Broken strings happen all the time. I've finished songs with broken strings. It sounds like poop, but you can't always just stop.

[therafaelgbf]

PUTS deixaram no vaco

QUE PLATEIA MAIS SEM GRAÇA

[BrickClark]

Uh, so she hated my tie... until I told her it was made out of 100 percent Buttafuoco fiber.

[aem80539]

I think dave was playing with a broken string if you pay attention you can see it.

[Jordo1900]

@aem80539 no way he wouldnt play wit a broken string

[aem80539]

@Jordo1900 Well what I mean to say is that I think it broke while playing and watch carefully you can see it.

[SchaschaOfficial]

@Jordo1900 at 2:26 and 2:30 you see something like a string at the guitar head O.o

[Jordo1900]

@SchaschaOfficial yea i saw it i think he did i wouldnt of notcied that only you pointed it out ha

[SoKrItIcAl]

@SchaschaOfficial At around 2:10 you can see it break and he moves it out of the way

[SchaschaOfficial]

@SoKrItIcAl yeah.

[kamen687]

running circles in my HEADDDDD



[YouveGotFAIL]

damn dave looks so good here!

[iplaydeadxdhx]

9 people are gay.

[RockinInEdmond]

one of the best guitar rips in grunge history

[BreakinGuitarz33]

haha who knew Billie Joe was impersonating Dave Grohl's clothing style all this time..

[ricochetfuzzy]

@BreakinGuitarz33 they were both doing it at a similar time. being all big rock bands at the time.

[ridehonda107]

chewing gum helps keep your throat and mouth from getting dry. when doing this fairly harsh style of vocals, if your throat is dry its gonna sound plain awful. thank the lord for gum.

[Jordo1900]

Best Band Of the 21st Century

[Slivzer]

Nate Mendel has the most awesome play-style ever :D.

[Jordo1900]

@Slivzer he looks cool playing but he's not really that good :(

[typeman5]

hmm... so he can multitask? :P... chew gum and sing? :P

[karmaofgood]

@typeman5 chewing gum can help you keep time.  A lot of drummers do it. Just shows you where his roots are.

[LordBalthazar88]

@karmaofgood It also keeps your throat from clogging up, which I believe is the case with Dave.

[karmaofgood]

@LordBalthazar88 Yeah I think it might have started with keeping the beat, but he doesn't need that anymore. He started doing it again after Foo Fighters because at that time he wasn't really experienced with a guitar. But yeah makes sense.

[cukiC2]

its similar than kurt dammed it!

[least93]

Greatest band EVER!!!!!!!

[cgn3]

still carries on with a broken string, good show dave

[kylekilo]

Dave Grohl's voice is BEAST!!

[Mariooo57]

i loled when he changes his pedal

[Beyond13337]

Fuck!...GRIIIN ..the break in the biginning:xS

[Good101Music]

I jizz everytime he screams

[treehousedigital]

best rock band playing live! =P

[kalexara]

I think 7 miley cyrus fans saw it by mistake...

[Dansilverbabe]

Excellent performance this song is underrated.

[yeap200x]

imagine how music would be with kurt cobain alive, with dave...

they'd be kinda like john lennon and paul maccartney!

its a shame.... but dave, you still fuckin rock!!

[EmiRoxYa]

@yeap200x actually...i feel if kurt would've never died we would've never seen all that dave could be.

so out of a tragic event a fucking amazing one rose.

[TheNicholas0202]

@yeap200x I think Dave is more like George Harrison, he bloomed once Nirvana split up just like George did when The Beatles split.

[44airwave]

@TheNicholas0202 i mean dave and kurt together man, its like paul and john...

[thehockeybomb]

@yeap200x maybe, but do you think kurt could learn to play the drums in a new band, and be as successful as dave grohl? who knows

[slim22rj]

@yeap200x

in my opinion he's better than kurt.

[SlipperyTounge]

@slim22rj fagget.

[Grungerock61]

@yeap200x i totally agree tho, but i think with kurt still alive, and Dave still drummer, he wouldnt of shined as much as he did when he started up Foo Fighter's, because now people see him as the singer and ripper guiarist AND a sick drummer, double demensional

[TheOppbitch]

I'm happy that Kurt cobain committed suicide or else there would be no foo fighters. Then we would have to listen to nirvanas mumbling over rated bullshit.

[DeMoNsLaYeR818]

@TheOppbitch

WOW..........Be grateful that Nirvana shaped Grohl to what he is today.......

[TheOppbitch]

@DeMoNsLaYeR818 yeah thats cool too ;)

[BijjalyGas]

Sorry to burst everyones bubble but Foo Fighters will never be where Nirvana once were and if it was'nt for kurt cobain there wouldn't have been a dave grohl.

[anorthey531]

@BijjalyGas sorry dave wrote songs that show up on foo fighters records while he was in nirvana. dave is dave. sorry

[ms1914]

@BijjalyGas nirvana will never be on the same sonic level as foo fighters...never..Kurt could barely play guitar, he even said so himself. Dave was the best part of nirvana period.

[andedi1]

@ms1914 i think dave is f***ing great. but come on kurt is awesome too.

they were both great in different ways.

[ms1914]

@andedi1 true Kurt was a great song writer for sure, he had that down to a science.

[MEXICANOcomeCACA]

@BijjalyGas nirvana sucks and so douche grohl

[andedi1]

i love dave he is so f**king awesome :)

[MEXICANOcomeCACA]

@andedi1 no he is not

[andedi1]

@MEXICANOcomeCACA shut up. who asked u. douche

[elmocheney]

2:36 better than the album..

[Lancer790]

In many interviews Dave talks about the gum thing. He says it helps his throat with all the screaming he does. lol

[fuckthekids91]

Awesome!

Dave = Jorge "mago" Valdivia, jajaja almenos en este video xD

[jhighpolo]

playing on the busted string... savagery

[sadiswan]

the thing that draws me to Dave Grohl is the fact that he won't be defined. With Nirvana he was a grunger, and with Foo Fighters he has been labelled as alternative. He will do whatever he wants whenever he wants. He will never be defined. And that is the greatest freedom anyone can have.

[shatteredglassjd]

@sadiswan Dave Grohl will be defined, i think he's called god

[MEXICANOcomeCACA]

@shatteredglassjd this guy is a fucking clown, he is doing nothing more than gay ass power chords and singing like a retarded fag

[MEXICANOcomeCACA]

@justcaz9971 bieber? aaa no I am not, I like real music like Kyuss, The Obsessed, Mr.Bungle and Tool. you are just a fag ass poser with no life

[justcaz9971]

@MEXICANOcomeCACA how am i a poser?

[MEXICANOcomeCACA]

@justcaz9971 two words: Foo Fighters

[Skinna5]

@sadiswan How is the foo fighters alternative?

[HowlinAdamJames]

Even the Foo Fighters have to respect the greatest live band of all time.  It's all about The Hives boys and girls.

[IVEGOTAHARDONBEER]

@HowlinAdamJames  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HA!

[H0wlinPelleAlmqvist]

DUDE HE IS SHOWING RESPECT TO THE HIVES what you guys think! =D

[pbalaazs]

Fresh Pot!

[grungedrul]

estos majes tocan vergon en vivo

[rikuparagus706]

The crowd seems like ass!

[katiehowell1]

Don't you love how Dave is always chewing gum?:)

[Thearmsman]

@katiehowell1 He has been chewing that gum since 94:P HAHAH!

[erickleandro]

@katiehowell1 I always think it's the plastic where the cocaine was in...

[katiehowell1]

@erickleandro Hellllllllllll noooo. Dave is way to good for that. I would honestly lose a whole lot of my respect for him if that were true. That just doesn't seem like Dave.

[MrSydneyKing]

Unfuckingbileveeeevable!!! Wicked!

[pantelijastosic]

2:35.....

[kingnings]

i love how he sinngs so manly in this song, but i hate the pauses in the beginning

[dylans96]

500th like!

[SiletteDK70]

Daves facial expressions when he's singing are the best ever, the only person who slightly compares to him is James Hetfield cause his facial expressions are pretty good too sometimes

[ShadowWanderer1]

One of the most EXCITING moments in rock and roll on TV for me was, and always will be, seeing this when it aired!

It's still electrifying!!! Thank you for posting!

[xxNightStalkerVIxx]

lmao he is ALWAYS chewing something!!

[AndrewGee69]

@xxNightStalkerVIxx hahah when I chew gum I feel like I'm Dave Grohl because he always has some in his mouth.. if only i could be as great of a musician as him haha

[davidgee24]

My second favorite Foos song after Monkey Wrench. Love the way it was performed here even though you couldn't hear Dave's guitar or Chris' mic.

[foomaniac]

Wow a young Chris Shiflett! Hadn't realised how long he's been playing with the foo's!

[enthnd03]

man it has to suck when the audience has no energy/enthusiasm

[rdloop]

they're in the same clothes as the music video!

[louisalive]

haha, shame the crowd aren't allowed to sing along, the beginning bit sounded odd :P

[MrGAT93]

Great performance, i love how raw it sounds.

[OneManAndHisToaster]

the pedal detail when they stop at start! xD awesome!

[jasonlonewolf]

i love them all so much!!

but something i noticed though was that he aged so quickly though =\ lol

[HeyyyGuyyy]

@jasonlonewolf he was already like 30 something

[MsKurtCobainn]

I think this is one of their more nirvana sounding songs

[ricochetfuzzy]

listen to their first album for a nirvana sound. watttershed is good

[MsKurtCobainn]

oh okay thanks

[faridjabba]

is this 2002_?¿

[MrThroll]

I'm pretty sure it's 2000.

[mitril]

Very Nice!!!! yeah!!

[3dgun]

lol i love how they almost assumed they knew the lyrics on a new song from a new album

[eltonwiseLB]

Dave idol!!!

[dara9090]

David Letterman has always been a huge fan & supporter...

[fenix478]

@dara9090 the same he did for black crowes

[scoob461]

what a bad ass band they rock
