  • ohhhh man, I loved this song sooo much when I first heard it! Still a fantastic song!

    Great way for this great band to start.

    I can see how some say it sounds like Niravan but this was pretty soon afterwords so it seems it took time for Foo Fighters to get their own style

  • notice hes brushing his teeth with a buttering knife

  • In my opinion

    1= The Pretender

    2=The Best of You

    3=Learn to Fly

    4=My Hero

    5=Everlong

  • @justinorr1700 where are walking after you and up in arms???

  • The crappy encoding is great for a 90's grunge era music video.

  • sooo gooood

  • man the guitars and vocal dynamics remind me of in utero

  • even though its old it rocks hard

    awesome song with a strange vid

    keep it up foo´s

  • Foo Fighters are A Nirvana SPIN-OFF.

  • @BijjalyGas I guess you can call it that... But then you're just saying anyone who in some way parts way with a band and forms his or her own is making a spin-off band.

  • @BijjalyGas musicians who want to advance are all spin offs? JACKASS comment!

  • This is my favourite song by them. Plus it reminds me of Nirvana!

  • When this song came out it was so great, it showed that there was life after Nirvana!

  • this album was a nuclear bomb...

  • Amazing to think he wrote and recorded every instrument himself. None of the instruments he had been playing for a while either.

  • THIS  track is what got them Noticed.

  • one of the greatest songs EVER!!

  • i believe this song is about religion. the lyrics and the video fit perfectly. hell they show the flying spaghetti monster in the video.

    the video starts out with the band having fun (like childhood), then the monster, then grohl looking upwards all weary and interested. then taking in the lies (ceremonial style) then spitting them out at the last one saying "ill be free". taken all and endured (puts head down). also showing the monster touching the knife he brushes his teeth with...

  • @frollun2

    pt. 2 then at the last part of the song the monster is trying to reach them while they are jumping up and down (as though resisting) and the monster can't get to them and because it can't get to them it explodes. because its their willingness to cling itself to them that allows it to live.

  • Pure grunge.

  • i still refuse

    all the methods you abused

  • Foo Fighters are sooooo awesome Dave Grohl can basically play every instrument and sing Hes GREAT.

  • This was about Courtney Love wasn't it?

  • It's still hard to believe that Dave Grohl Wrote AND proformed this entire album himself and only within a very short period.

    No wonder he's still around selling millions of albums.

  • @macuss87 Yeah, and where's Courtney, doing flame wars on twitter and facebook.

  • @justlaxin22 I was thinking the same thing. Although Dave Grohl denied it for 15 years, he finally admitted that he wrote the song about Courtney Love and all her drama after Kurt Cobain died. I love this track!

  • mp3iiiiify now lets you grab cd-quality VEVO videos and HD YouTube videos to convert into mp3s. AWESOME> google mp3iiiiify.

  • this album is great but this is definitly the best track!

  • this song sound almost like its from Nirvana ... Epic

  • @TheDayHacker you right very nirvana alike

  • Probably the Foosies best song. Man that riff is orgasmic

  • @WhenILearnToMilkIt

    I agree! This really does have to be one of my favourite Foo songs!

  • sweet! mark hoppus on the drums...jk

  • Now, this song really rocks your socks off! Gotta love those fighters of foo, eh?

  • It's a shame this one isn't on their Greatest Hits album

  • Dave wanted it on, but he didn't have any say in the track listing.

  • @justinodj I agree. :(

  • To Gary Pendleton

  • Why hello there,

    If you like Rockn' Roll thats based on catchy guitar riffs, than you are in luck. I have composed a piece of music that consists of all the classic rock riffs that you know and love titled SYMPHONY OF THE GUITAR RIFF. Yeah, it has all your favorite moments in Rock history played back to back in one giant Riff Extravaganza. Come over to my channel and see what i mean.

    Thanks!

  • only song i ever liked by this band. pretty heavy for foo fighters

  • I don't think this song is about Kurt or Courtney because he a demo of this whole album while he was still in nirvana he originally had no intention of releasing it

  • he hated Courtney while in Nirvana

  • it is about kurt, he was pissed off when he killed himself, that's why he saying I'll stick around!

  • No this is not about Kurt... The only song about Kurt is friend of a friend...

  • Let it Die is also about Kurt.

  • Not really but i guess you can relate him to it.

  • birdy47, it's about Courtney Love. She tried to seize exclusive rights to all Nirvana's material after Kurt's death.  She wanted to straight-arm Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic out of their share. This is his way of saying, "Drop dead skank, I'm not going away!!" IMHO, it's the greatest angry song ever done.

  • I love you. Haha nothing pisses me off more than someone saying My Hero is about Kurt

  • This song is either about Kurt Cobain or Courtney Love or possibly even both

  • Why would this song be about Kurt Cobain or Courtney Love?

    Kurt is dead when this came out and I'm sure Dave grohl hates courtney love so I'm not sure he would dedicate any song to her.

    You may be right about Kurt.....

  • its about courtney love...they were fighting over rights to kurts songs. hes saying i dont owe you anything..

  • true.

  • he didnt DEDICATE it to her he he wrote it about her, about how his beleif in her involvment in kurt kobains death and about the fight between them over the rights to the music how he didnt owe her anything. idk thats just my opinion at least

  • ya i said dedicate by accident.

    i think its about him just still performing and writing music and wont give up.

    and very few parts about love.

  • @Ian6178

    So, in other word, you mean this song is a "take that" to Courtney Love? She certainly is one very messed up lady, so it's not too surprising to hear that she and Dave Grohl don't exactly get along.

  • He said in an interview somewhere that this was about Courtney

  • @michaelarndtt No i will not thank you for promoting stealing... Unlike you i like to support one of my favorite bands and buy their music...

  • 2:57 i love this part ♥

  • foo's best song , without a doubt..raw , ballsy, power , energy,simple production and sound..the way it should be..for ALL ROCK BANDS !!! and dave's playing almost every instrument..!!!

  • @blica1 yeah there's no traditional rock nowadays that really rocks. and that riff is just killer.

  • tight as fuck dude!!!!

  • for me without taylor and Chris its not "foo" enough! but this is cool

  • love the way this song and vid starts

  • this is dave's answer to kurt's suicide

  • Really? I've always heard that the song is about Courtney Love.

  • u can tell this is old, look at how young dave looks

  • Couldn't believe this song wasn't on the greatest hits disc, awesome track.

  • probably my favorite Foo song. I couldn't believe neither. Dave didn't even want greatest hits album to be put out. Record companies suck

  • do u guys know if they still play this song live?

  • 2.57 gives me goosebumps... so good

  • Comment removed

  • This is Alternitive with a hint of Grunge.....awesome

  • You can still play faceless stadium rock with acoustic guitars, which is exactly what they did. I don't think you're understanding where I'm coming from.

  • hahaha they seem so awkward in this video. oh how great they are. best band ever.

  • Great song! Great band!

  • show de bola esse som

  • BULLSHIT this isn't on the greatest hits CD. This is their 6th best song... 1 = Everlong Tied for 2 = The Pretender & Learn To Fly 4 = All My Life 5 = Monkey Wrench 7 & 8 = My Hero & Times Like These ; 9 = Breakout Tied for 10 = This is a Call & Big Me

  • to me, i think generator should be the best song. Then in your honor as 2. But its an opinion.

  • what about Halo, Lonely as You, Generator, best of you?? personally im not crazy about "all my life", but do the foo's rock? the foo's rock indeed man!!

  • Exactly!! I don't know how this isn't on the greatest hits when songs like Skin and Bones are on there.

  • @ballplayer1799

    I don't entirely agree with that, but still Foo Fighters need to get connected with what they did in their early days, like 1995 early

  • @ballplayer1799  your insane

  • @ballplayer1799

    "There Goes My Hero"

    "Times like these"

    "Best of You"

    "The One"

    "WHEELS"

    ...did you forget these??? YES!!

  • @ballplayer1799 hahaha! you're list of the top 10 songs by the foo fighters is ridiculous. most of the ones you put down are some of their worst songs. i mean that's just insane, i don't understand what people hear?

  • Comment removed

  • i like there first album a lot. some of their songs kinda sound like nirvanas playing its cool.

  • this and the one are the best songs they've done

  • @Barnabus007

    Noooooo.

    They DONT SUCK.

    They r the last of 90's grunge brother!!!!!!

  • Foo is like a drug to me

  • pretty good gong

  • Hey! thanks for uploading this vid, man , when I first saw this vid I said hey? that looks like Dave Grohl from Nirvana, then I said yeah that is him with pat smear!!! the rest is history!!!!!!! Love this vid classic 1995......

  • Screw Courtney LOve!! Grohl rules!!!!!

  • d la ptm!!!!!!!

  • 2:48

    facebook chat message

  • If only everyone could channel outrage into creative energy like Dave Grohl does!

  • The song was left off of their greatest hits because Dave is a toolbox nowadays who's only interested in writing terrible stadium rock and can't recognize that his older songs are better. How he didn't include this, one of their first and best singles, on their greatest hits is beyond me.

  • Yah, not sure why it's not on there. I don't need this disk, I have all their music...fill find a 'way' to get the other 2 songs.

    Either way, FF are great. Just wish they would do another funny, clever video like the good ol' days.

  • What on earth makes you think it's Dave that's choosing the songs? Besides, In Your Honor is stadium rock, and that song is fantastic. Look, it's natural for artists to change. Don't get pissy about it.

  • Meh, if they hadn't went from terrible to being so awful, I wouldn't get pissy about it. If they become boring, fine, but their more recent stuff is just bad in a typical STADIUM RAWK sort of way.

  • i agree that they should have included this. but it's likely that the record company had a lot to do with the setlist. and the only reason bands make greatest hits albums is just because the record companies pressure them to do it so they can make money. so they wanted the album to be as marketable as possible so they only picked the most well known songs it doesnt have much to do with the quality of the music.

  • I'm not sure, but I'd bet Dave Grohl doesn't owe anyone.

  • dave grohl... he doesnt owe you anything.

  • can't believe this song is not on their greatest hits...too many good songs.Grohl is a legend!

  • @number6Mclovin - It is! On the DVD that comes with the audio disc, It's the first clip (=

  • cheers :)

  • I used to listen to them a lot when I was a teenager, this was the good foo fighter

  • grohl IS the man. i love this song so much.

    the best is the middlepart of this song

    Dave GROHL. A Hero. He would be just being a nirvana-member

  • Ah, back when they were grunge.

  • sound something like smells like teen spirit

  • Doesn't sound a damn thing like "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

  • Reminds me of better days!

  • I guess that this song won't be on the Greatest Hits cd being released next month :(

  • i wonder why hey

  • is not, the list of songs is given at fftabs(dot)com, but hey they got tones of good songs!

  • this song, everlong and big me, the best foo songs by far

  • kind of bizarre to look back on this video now. one guy from nirvana, one guy from the germs, two guys from sunny day real estate... what a weird grouping (even if none of the rest of them actually played on this song)

  • Isn't it 2 guys from Nirvana?

  • Pat Smear was only a touring guitarist for Nirvana for the 6 months before Kurt killed himself. He's not on any studio recordings so I don't really consider him a part of Nirvana. His band is really the Germs. The bassist and drummer in this video (Nate Mendel and William Goldsmith) were, of course, from the legendary (and now reunited) SDRE.

  • noope

  • @Rikuschaos5 yeah pat smear.

  • Sounds so much like Nirvanna :l

  • and wahts the problem dude? :|

  • no problem! :L

  • He's acting like a strung out monkey on steroids here but still classic song and album. Don't know how many times I've heard those songs. Over and over and over and over and over again.

  • lol its funneh...

    the lead singer played every instrument in this song,the rest of the people in this vid are stand up clowns.lol

  • (vote EVERLONG of vma's!)

    love this song and everlong, their best

  • i want daves SG....

  • kickapoo

  • well it just came out for rockband... and also he may sound like nirvana because dave grauhl (spelling) is from them lol he was the drummer. probably carried more than one style of their play to his new band

  • Actualloy the Drummer AND the Bassist started the Foo Fighters after Kurt's suicide.

  • Drummer, bassist, guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, and studio technician all=DAVE GROHL. He hired other musicians AFTER the "Foo Fighters" album release in order to tour and to ease recording.

  • isn't that cool? grohl is the man!

  • love the style in this song, seems very "Nirvanish" idk why... would love to get this for ROCK BAND.

  • Haha that is the funniest comment because

    1) The singer, Dave Grohl, was the drummer for Nirvana before Kurt died.

    2) This was one of the first songs he made after he left Nirvana

  • Yeah, it's just been released for Rock Band, aswell as Lonely As You and All My Life. Bringing the songs up to, if you own RB2 and imported RB1 songs: Learn To Fly All Of Colour And The Shape Times Like These I'll Stick Around This Is A Call DOA All My Life Lonely As You And Stacked Actors is on GH: Metallica..
  • Coming to Rock Band next week

  • So cool...

  • Great Great song by Foo Fighters I think maybe their best!

  • Really like the song and the video...too bad ther original version, where Dave sings "I've been around all the pawns you've gagged and bound, they'll get a gun and shoot you down, and I'll be free". I did hear that version for a very short time on Mtv.

    Censorship, even if self-imposed, is unfortunate.

  • wow dave playing an sg thats something

  • who was the drummer in this video?

  • William Goldsmith... I prefer Taylor.
