This must be the most epic performace of this song of all time :D. You can see the fun they are having on stage and off stage. The arangement is simply amazing too :D
At Nirvana's last studio session, I heard that Kurt drummed on some of Dave's songs that supposedly eventually ended up on the Foo Fighters first self-titled album.
im not tryin to take away from nivana but i think that if kurt never shot himself people would not of known about nirvana.. im not tryin to take anything away though there a fukin nasty band.. i think the foo fighters are way better though. ROCK ON!!!
if Dave was never in Nirvana he probably never would have had made Foo Fighters. Before Dave join nirvana he was in punk stuff. so he probably would have never choose this road.
no he definetly would have, he was in a band called scream before this, and he did some demos with him singing, and he just happened to be in nirvana that made him famous. even before nirvana was famous he wrote a couple songs you hear on foo fighters records like "friend of a friend, big me, and marigold." although nirvana helped him get out in the music world more, he still would be just as famous as he is right now
Who gives a fuck which bands better. They are two totally different bands! Just because Dave was in both bands doesnt mean you have to compare them. You dont compare Alanis Morissette to Foo Fighters just because they had the same drummer...do you??
the comparisons will never end though, the world is filled with idiots who will try to find differences and similarities between the 2 bands and "decide" which band is better. Having said that, in my opinion dave has acoomplishes much more than kurt ever did.
dude nirvana and foo fighters are both amazing in almost completely different ways foo fighters are are a happier sounding band dave grohl, music wise, wrote better songs than nirvana. and on a different note nirvana would have never gotten famous if it wasnt for daves drumming. listen to old nirvana and u can hear an emptiness to the sound dave made nirvana way better u guys wouldnt even care if it wasnt for dave so shut foos are better
Foo Fighters have to be my favorite band of all time....no offense to Nirvana fans but, Foo Fighter songs a broader range of emotion, where grunge was so self hating....Well anyways funny about the Paramore comment cause I had some Emo kid tell me the Foo Fighters stole "My Hero" from Paramore,...Paramore and other newer bands should hope and pray they become this high a quality of band and be able to stay at the top for 13 years!!! and there still not done!!! Dave Grohl is my Hero!!!
The name's dave. Kurt is dead. (RIP). And, although it is your opinion that he is a better drummer than guitarist, it is his opinion that he is a better guitarist than drummer.
RHCPfanRyan, the comment "hahahaha" was a reaction on straightup69's "die NOW" coz i asked "who the hell said that paramore wrote this song?"..well anyway, before you say anything read the comments below you dumbshit!
yo guys im sooooooo sry about the "comment". i had gotten up to take a massive piss. and then my asshole little brother came on (i had paused it during the intro) and he thinks he knows everything about ff. hes an idiot. srry guys.
I think the acoustic version is great, but I wish that they would do the rock version more often live. Only times that I've heard them do the rock version live was at live earth and the hyde park show, besides that i've just heard this version live
This song reminds me a lot of how, when I was younger, I highly admired local athletes - on high school football teams, mostly - as if they were superheroes. I'm not sure if anyone can relate, but this song brings up a lot of those emotions for me.
Funny that you should say that. During the time we had a minor league hockey team in town, this song would play whenever the team "hardass" would be ejected after receiving a fighting major.
Which moron chose this song for that purpose? They should have played something like the COPS theme song (just to ridicule the hardass) or something along those lines. :P
No this song is about ordinary people such as firefighters, police, etc. Dave Grohl didn't have any BIG heroes as a child and wrote this about the REAL heros of everyday life.
what?? I thought it was about how Dave always looked up to "ordinary people who did extraudinary things." And particularly, I thought it was about a bunch of firefighters who died during a fire(hence the idea for the video)
I've heard dave said that he gets sick of people saying that all of the foos songs are about kurt because it gives the message that kurt was the only important person in his life
ive heard that hes also a little ashamed about nirvana, not necessarily about kurt, but the things that they got into. if you look at the foos myspace nirvana isnt even on the influence list
you should check out some more foo fighter stuff, if you think paramore is good, foo fighter stuff will blow you away. also listen to the rock version of this song. better than any version
RHCPfanRyan, the comment "hahahaha" was a reaction on straightup69's "die NOW" coz i asked "who the hell said that paramore wrote this song?"..well anyway, before you say anything read the comments below you dumbshit!
Damn, I don't know what to say because that was over a month ago, and Im sure had you have said that back then as well, i still woul have said I dont care. Im sorry i dont spend my life checking the backrounds on all the comments. I have a life to attend to beyond youtube comments.
