This happens to any musician. If I haven't played a song in a while I forget lyrics and chord progressions. Doesnt mean i cant relearn it if i wanna play with led zeppelin. He obviously hadn't played it in a while. He's a funny man
lol... the solo from this song used to be my ringtone, so every time my phone went off-"TO BE A ROCK, AND NOT TO ROOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLdoodlydoodlydoodlydoooowhatever"
Normally when someone destroys a classic I forever hate them, Dave Grohl however with his quick whit and sence of humor and just all around charming personality made me enjoy a rather loose version of Stairway =)
Forgetting the lyrics to this song is a pretty normal thing. I listen to it so often, and yet when I hum it myself, I forget what the next line was. I don't think he was either making fun of Led Zep, nor of the people who cover it. I guess somebody in crowd wud hav requested this song, and he played it on the fly.
@vaibhavmathur3 I'm pretty sure he didn't forget the words, he's just putting a show on for the crowd. He's done this with several other songs, even bringing a fan on stage to sing Carry on my Wayward Son.
@stevel993 dude, dave grohl's is zeppellin's greatest fan, he offer himself to play with them after john died... it's just to exageratly prove that no one other than zep can play this song...
Only dave could screw up like this and still be cool and adored by the people in the room... What a hero! And yes he knows all of those songs led zeppelin songs, since he is more or less their biggest fan...
dave grohl is cool as fuck. i bet he gets all the pussy. not just all the pussy he wants, but literally all of the pussy that is currently in existence. he is holding many shares of stock in the pussy market.
Kinda sucks, love the cover attempt but don't think he needed to make a joke of probably the greatest band that ever was. And I'm a bit surprised about it. Maybe the Foo Fighter/Jimmy Page live ordeal caused this, anybody know?
@NathanAndTylerMusic No way dude, Zepplin commands respect. But most of the people who cover them are dorks. thats who he's making fun of... and good for him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lets face it, hes an asshole. For someone not being able to play the guitar properly, he thinks he can make fun of other bands that are playing that song? I'd say, don't throw stones, while sitting in a house of glass!
@davidgilmour01 i just saw this. are you seriously deranged??? he is one of the nicest people in the biz. you should STFU and go listen to Lady goo goo
i dont think he would have such a good relationship with the remaining members of led if he made fun of them... that being said so pumped for Them Crooked Vultures!
he's not making fun of Zeppelin at all.... just showing that Zeppelin and only Zeppelin should be playing Stairway to Heaven.... the only people he is making fun of are the people who think they can play this song on guitar
What year has this production been artificialized into the show of many funnies a.k.a dave letterman. I would appriciate it if you commented back within the next quadrupal suppyuple dodecagonic ice age
I think Foo Fighters are a better band than Nirvana was, better songs atleast. Maybe not as "important" but id rather listen to the Foo Fighters over Nirvana.
if and only if they had continued doing albums like the 1st two. Nirvana was a consistent band..
and i think foo fighters was a great band but lost something along the way. Dave is a legend like someone mentioned previously. But is he a legend for being in nirvana or being in foo fighters.,.(for u to decide..) Anyways still rather hear the foos do a nirvana cover..Even bringing back pat(hop along)smear Ain't gonna change anything.
u do get some fucking idiots in this world!! course he knows the lyrics, hes messing around whole song!! get a sense of humour boys!!! i presume all u saying oh he forgot the words are americans!!! get a life boys!!! dave grohl is a legend!!!
Lol dont watch the video and you can imagine Jack Black's singing :P
