Darlin' Nikki - Foo Fighers w/ Cee-Lo - Hangout Festival 2011

[kalimaganeshshivan]

Nice cover Cee Lo but, I beg of you, please don't take off your shirt and start bumpin and grindin the stage like Prince from the 80's!

[DRockG3]

This is the sickest cover! I love it and wish I could have been there!

[agurf2]

Cee lo must collaborate with the foo fighters more. Can u say super group?

[cv41393]

i love Prince more than anybody else but this is ok

[bounce2628]

this rocks

[jimmieleepatterson]

This group Whale has this best cover of this song. When this song originally came out, it was nasty. Foo & Cee Lo bafooned it.

[30coupe1]

taylor on dw..........

[nirvanafanas]

my name is Nikki, this made me happy specially cause it's Dave <3

[KStealed]

Bad ass @ drums + Nigga Needs autotuner as fuck, but still somehow rocks :D

"thank you Cee-Lo for a funky time" :D

[Antrizzle2009]

@KStealed That wasn't autotuner, that's Cee Lo's natural voice.

[KStealed]

@Antrizzle2009 thats why i say he NEED IT

[Antrizzle2009]

@KStealed What? Cee Lo's voice is awesome what are you talking about?

[KStealed]

@Antrizzle2009

nothing wrong with the voice just saying he dont care going out of tone. guess it fits in this situation :)

[Antrizzle2009]

@KStealed Well yea he's singing in a "rock" style to fit the song. I think its appropriate tho.

[AfraidOfStull]

Hottest song ever!

[KStealed]

@AfraidOfStull warm tape RHCP

[alexwilsonNC]

This is fantastic. Anything anybody else says is irrelevant.

[spfairie]

Can someone control the audio hertz plz" Thinkn i am deaf now, can't tell. Head still numb.

[zoidsvstherichies]

lol do all festivles look the same?

[ZNicky]

nice, thanks for filming this!

[boutyebigface]

I hope the guys made him an honorary Foo Fighter after that! That was class!

[ptbarnes42]

that was sooo awesome



[jojonein]

that festival was so awesome, some of the best three days of my life lol

[PhobeRush]

Your video is on Foo Fighters' Facebook ;-)

[dbleXdiamand]

Cee Lo Green giving it beans there hahaha

[aishaxoxobela]

cant compare either to Prince but Dave won this cover war

[freeduc]

What day was this video taken cuz the Foos were in Memphis on May 20th. Saw them and they completely ROCKED!!

[oceanblvd461]

@freeduc  May 21st, second day of Hangout.

[thekaobe]

I think, Foos and Primus performed the best performances.

[themikeawesome]

either way thanks for the footage!

[spikedementia]

one of my favorites songs by one of my favorites bands : thank you so much for this video !!!! Hope to hear it live in Paris in August...

[MetalNinja247]

Cee Low's giving Dave a run for his money on the screams haha

[themikeawesome]

@MetalNinja247 I agree... until you listen to "The Colour and the Shape" the song.. lol...



[HighLoSpins]

This was so sick. I actually did not mean to be at this stage - I got my schedule mixed up, thinking I'm about to see Primus - had no idea what was going on - til Cee Lo showed up and everything sort of fell together. How epic.

[MammothVino]

whoever filmed this you did a great fuckin job...impromptu moment..at least u caught it

[oceanblvd461]

@MammothVino Thank you.

[robbantheshit]

@oceanblvd461 what equipment did you use to film this with?

[milomorning]

man i was there waiting on cee lo and im glad he was late. seeing him and the foo fighters doing darling nikki was AWESOME.

[PJEICHNER]

This is tight. I love Cee lo

[patchouliskye]

OH YEAH....I love this song ....man its a great video...

Thank you!!!~

[juanelodrummer]

that was some sick jammin by the almighty Foos...c'mon Dave, we need you to come to Chile :P

[Decatur540]

Was there! great to get to relive it!!!!

[pbauw]

I was drunk and slumped over a rail at the public restroom building near the ferris wheel while this was happening lol

[3crowes11]

Friggin awesome man! I was ten feet left of the floating dolphin.

cheers.

[3crowes11]

Friggin awesome man.  Thanks for the post. I was ten feet to the left of the floating dolphin.

cheers!

[oceanblvd461]

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I posted quite a few more from the weekend. Most of them are better b/c I was in a spot where I had prepared to be so I could video. I made a playlist of them all, check them out.

[joshmyers2285]

Best weekend of my life!! We were standing 10 feet in front of whoever filmed this with my goofy ass tall friend with that big fucking block head! haha

[batnib]

perfect music festival moment....sorry I missed it!

[craigetheridge]

I tried to record this but my sound quality sucked. I was a bit over to middle of stage. Thanks for this video, awesome sound quality.

[Olie23231]

The sound quality on this video is awesome for a camera bein held by someone in the crowd :)

[kmarcus5]

I was there and the video is great and I know what you mean about people knocking into you and getting in front of you. I don't know why people want to be so critical when you are just trying to share. Some people are just idiots.

[oceanblvd461]

Yeah I know how to hold a fucking camera. You try doing in the middle of a bunch of people knocking you over so they can rush the stage. If you don't want to watch it then don't watch it, jackass.

[TheFOOfighterFREAK]

@oceanblvd461 5-30-11 :O "YEAH...U Tell 'em!" I take alot of PIx. People don't mess w/ me. I work in the Music Industry & I go way back as friends w/ 'NIRVANA' & Dave 'Growl' GROHL..to 16 yrs. w/ the FF's. Ever Check his Pre-Nirvana band 'SCREAM' out? From Seattle. Still Touring. Many people DO Rush the Stage. I just go Backstage. AWESOME rendition of 'Darling Nikki.' Cee Lo Green's vocals are Spectacular. Did U go 'C' PRINCE 4 Concert in CA? PRINCE was Amazing on 'George LOPEZ.' C-Ya

[ThatsSomeGoodPizza]

@oceanblvd461 that was probably my bad :p

[oceanblvd461]

@ThatsSomeGoodPizza lol, it's all good. not like i got hit by a bowling ball or something.

[ThatsSomeGoodPizza]

@oceanblvd461 yeahh, i kinda lost it when foo fighters came out early, along with most everyone there

[jklaaren]

yay i was there in VIP and it was sweet!

[080Muffin080]

Awesome! Both of 'em got such talent there!

[wiccagirl07]

Does this dude not know how to hold a damn camera????

[ThatsSomeGoodPizza]

[ChiTownGirl2]

Diggggg it

[SexyChalupa]

can they do this every single show from now until forever? like the whole thing, with cee lo green and everything.

[Drewzer154]

I like Foo & Cee-Lo, I love this song, but it just doesn't have the same effect without Prince's scream.

[andrethefaivre]

the scream cee lol does at 6:12 gives me goosebumps

[digglescham]

@andrethefaivre agreed. it was beautiful.

[StalwartChris]

Taylor moved to DW?

[namq81]

@StalwartChris guess so. playing a gretsch kit used to be my connection to him :(

[nycebunni]

Incredible! Love me some nikki with foo

[DisplacementOfficial]

@enrique4d He played DW with alanis morrisette before he joined the foos.

[skuthepoo]

Its pretty sick that dave grohl has literally viewed this youtube video...you should be proud that 1 of your watches at least was by the grohl! Got refferred here from the foo twitter

[echobarty]

Cee-Lo did a great version of reckoner by radiohead

[UlphWintR]

Gooood, still faaar away from Prince, even on a bad day....

[kangaimRoo]

I always liked Cee Lo from Gnarls Barkley's "crazy" to "Fuck You" but when I heard that he did "Darling Nikki" with FF, and when I heard them play it together, I didn't only go crazy on the like or respect button, I went crazy on the love button! Fucking awesome!

[xawno113]

ZOMG THE INTERNET BROUGHT ME HERE>!>!>!>!>

[omgjohnnytambourine]

This is one of the best beach ball videos on YouTube.

[hiphopopotamus001]

The audio is so good!

[TheTerraOfVen]

Goes to show that Dave and Co and play pretty much anything. I tip my hat to Cee-Lo too, he did an amazing job.

[kusoyaroun]

[dbdcdhdj]

Prince came out a long time ago...

[coraline7831]

i love it!!!!

[judiththomps]

Ce-Lo was late!

[mchew123]

I think there's a little bit of a Bromance happening between Dave and Cee-lo!

[10seconds2love]

Now if Prince had come out, that would have been something cool!

[colinxbennet]

Cee-Lo=James Brown?



[jancornax]

Dank je wel dave!!

[nevermind1182]

It was pretty cool until Cee-Lo got on stage.

[jenn151]

[lagim214]

Dave just posted this on facebook!

[howsaboutno]

@mouldyteabag you mean someone representing dave posted this on facebook!

[JooeeeF]

@howsaboutno No the official facebook group posted it.

[00RV00]

@JooeeeF Call me naive, but I actually think Dave manages FF's Twitter and Facebook accounts.

[jackylegs94]

@howsaboutno Lol

[mouldyteabag]

@howsaboutno Well no, Dave himself posts both Facebook messages and Tweets a lot, he talks about getting into the social networking stuff in some interviews :)
