Fantastic song!I heard it for the first time on Austin City Limits the other day.Can't beleive its been out for over ten years.I've never heard it played on the radio.How is this not a hit song?Overnight its now my favorite Foo Fighter song.
@cool12433 I know! He never ever, ever plays fender at least not live! I know he plays it in the studio though or at least used too. This videos need to go in the archives.
It's not a question of the difficulty of single chords or guitar-riffs - these are pretty easy, indeed. But if you have look for exmaple for the last 50 Sec. when Dave is playing the heavy destortion part: the sec. gutiar plays still this special kind of atmosphere-riff - und you can hear every single note! That's waht meant wiht "unperformable": play it with any garage-band and it just sound like mushy grunch...
I understand what you mean. They did do well on this song here. any time i wanna listen to it, i play this instead of the album version. the guitar effects are better on this i feel. :)
I love this song.reminds me of a place in my life called paul street in cork city in ireland.i miss those times.fucking gr8 song.also my best mate died the year nothing left to lose came out.miss u jenny.rip babe.
Dave grohl used to live on a street named Aurora and its just him singing about how he loved that part of his life......sing your heart out you crazy bastard
You're half right. Dave lived off of Aurora, but not with Kurt. He lived with Kurt (not Curt) in Olympia, WA, not Seattle. Dave moved to Seattle after he moved out of Kurt's place (right after they recorded Nevermind).
This is my favorite foo song, and I'm actually glad it was never a single. Let it stay a deep cut for the real fans to enjoy. I think it's more special. I also think it's more special that it's the sleeper favorite for the band to play, but they don't play it very often live. They keep it for special occaions.
Plus, it's a six minute song. Record companies don't like releasing six minute songs as singles, so this song probably never had a chance.
you never know, maybe he was trying something new at the time. And besides, its their song. He can do whatever he wants with his guitar parts becuase he and the rest of the foo fighters own them
Trust me, he still plays it this exact way. He just repeats the opening riff through the rest of the intro and verse. Just listen to the studio version of this song and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, he just plays the opening riff over and over, still do, shame really, as the studio as lots of different parts to the main riff and even in tabs its just the main riff. Can you tab out the different parts please? :)
Great song.. but wouldn't it be uncomfortable to perform while chewing gum? I almost choked on mine when I was recording a song then decided I would never do it again...
ya dave is almost exclusively a gibson player, except for a couple acoustics, his Dan Armstrong Plexi, and this Tele. i think he might have been playing a Hagstrom in the everlong video
like i think you can say ALL foo fighters songs arent about kurt unless you go pre foo fighters and you listen to tracks like "freind of a freind" which were written when dave was in nirvana
pretty cool...
Love Dave, Love Kurt Cobain
