Foo Fighters - Tiny Dancer (live on Kilborn)

[justinrobinet21]

Sofa king good.

[rgportos]

MALISIMA INTERPRETACION Y PESIMO VOZ.....HE VISTO CUATES SUPER BRIAGOS CON MEJOR VOZ Y CANTANDO MEJOR QUE ESE DIZQUE "ARTISTA DE 5a".....IT´S A SHAME HOW THIS "ARTIST" DESTROYS A GREAT SONG,HIS VOICE SUCKS...I´VE HEARD DUNRK GUYS SING WAY BETTER THAN THAT....IT´S A SHAME.

[ghoekstra17]

Why the f-scott is he chewing gum?

[Jackstanford7]

@ghoekstra17 dave grohl always chews gum so his throat doesn't dry out, even if that wasn't the case, THE GROHL DOESN'T NEED A REASON OKAY?!

[LifeNotRules]

Stop hating, this is great.

[kLaUnBoY]

Sad . . . Not cool at all I think he WAS on acid

[raysalsa1]

this is horrific rendition of such a timeless song. dave go back to the hard rock.

[tiagoguedestube]

this is bad. you´re ruinning a beautyfull song. go to your hard rocks songs. they suck less than this. John frusciante is not even comparable to you

[WEENIE666]

if thats true u never heard tiny dancer til recently dave... then shame on you!!

[pinksrv]

You know, what I really wanted to do is I wanted to recreate that timeless scene in Almost Famous, I wanted to do kinda like a performance art piece, where I have a little kiddie pool, and I jump in the kiddie pool.... and then... ON ACID!

[newsleaker1]

thats a good way to fk up a great song ,

and all that talk is embarrasing !

[theSMITH1233]

@newsleaker1 he really does fuck up elton john's masterpiece doesnt he? no doubt all the sad saps on here will dislike this comment, and they probably havent even heard the elton john original olol.

[newsleaker1]

@theSMITH1233 yes they probably dont even know Elton John sang this song .. Grohl is an egotistical Asshole and this cover is pathetic !

[sayoian99]

@theSMITH1233 well deadmau5 takes it and just shits all over it, seriously...

[aekrhcpssbb]

john frusciante...

[SANGROHL77]

MY DEAR DAVE: YOU 'RE THE ONE...

[lowryder81]

The best video on YouTube.

[JulioCesar430]

John Frusciante, sem comparaçao!!!

[999rambo999]

I hate the chewing gum... not cool.

[xciteful]

@999rambo999 It's an old trick to keep your mouth from getting too dry. Jimi Hendrix did it often.

[JLEORAY]

hahaha david i just saw almost famous for the 34573829 times and this is the firts time i look for these song :)

[thebeatles8267]

ALMOST FAMOUS!! HELL YEAH!!!!! Love ya Dave! I saw you last month still can't believe it!! Their goes MY Hero!!!!! :D

[crazyfilms5]

f*ck the guys who didn't like it, Dave Grohl rocks and he was freakin hilarious

[theSMITH1233]

an insult to the original

[Heavymetalhero91]

@theSMITH1233 then why did u take the time to watch the video or even post the comment

[crearusername]

He is fuckin hilarious!

[LevelCooldude]

he sucks at singing this song

[coolbluezzzz]

sing or shut your mouth .. your not as good as elton john

[abarford1]

@coolbluezzzz you're not good with english, so nobodies perfect good sir ;)

[mfoster404400]

i don't like how he calls the middle part "crap" -.-

[zishanhmed]

i love how he is chewing gum whilst singing :)

[Gatorade237]

It will be a sad day when Grohl chokes on his metronome

[JassBo83]

why is he yappin so much? DUDE! This song sucks. It's a piano song and not a guitar song. AND you gotta kinda know how to sing. ^^

[MrBadacidradio]

what a kickass shirt.

[kmoore3488]

he sucks

[TheTristanvideos]

@kmoore3488 you obviously have no sence of humor. Or a soul!

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

"HEY! THIS IS MY SHOW!"

I laughed mt pants off!

[rockitbitz]

Much as I love Grohl, couldn't watch that chewing gum flopping in and out of his mouth. Eugh.

[shifta187]

This is magic! Awesome audience!

[Steve1229645]

what year did he go on this show. 2001?

[deepbluePee]

i love this video so much! love dave! LOVE THE FOO FIGHTERS!

[MTUnleashedTV]

Ok.. John Frusciante and Dave Grohl are 2 of my favorite musicians. for those who are arguing who is "better", John is a BETTER guitar player, because that was his job in RHCP. Dave is a BETTER song writer. Dont get me wrong, they are talented at both.

[thomasbeauarrowsmith]

My mate and I are making a banner for the concert..."Play Tiny Dancer Or The Kitten Gets It"....I'll have a grey toy cat, and a wee little noose ;)

[micherrera]

Gum, really? I was hoping it would fall out while you sang. You're cute, though!

[fredagsgodis]

I love you baby <3 You are the second best after KC <3 <3 <3

[Razrback11]

Why does Dave want Tony Danza to hold him closer?

[redhotx94]

hey, hey not cool. John Frusciante and Dave Grohl can not be compared. They are both magnificently talented in their own ways.

[LifeNotRules]

@redhotx94 And they both look like jesus. 

[marcel21covers]

This guy is the coolest guy ever.

[mitchellCanada14]

wheres the mustache.....

[bizrack2]

god damn that man can scream

[Iandarth]

(swaying arms a lighters) Hold me tiny dancer. I am a golden God!

[Iandarth]

Dave Grohl is fucking awesome! I love tha bit in almost famous where they are all singin. Legend....wait for it.... hope your're not lactose intolerant because the next word is dairy!

[LukosJr]

Dave love gum almost like a Alex Ferguson ;)

[juanigreco17]

ppppppretty eyed.. pppppppirate smile... awesome..

[jcrook023]

Why is he the coolest musician alive????

[wes23579]

Dave Grohl is a badass. Plain and simple. Not only can he do an acoustic cover of an infamous song, but he can do it while being funny, while chewing gum, and now, years later, he can do it with a beard.

[paragshah2112]

dave's voice isnt made for this song. not as disasterous as when billy idol tried to cover gnarls barkley, but ... yeah ... kinda-ish :-\

[josephkallifffraude]

I want to be in this magical moment! THumbs up if you want too!

[hattie1rich]

this is mildly pathetic and offensive

[bridzzz41]

looooove this !

[Janicemaxwell]

Dave is not HALF as good as he THINKS he is. and that gum mdae me want to reach in and snatch it out of his mouth. I'm sorry but he's not THAT cool either. I thought he was going to alk over the whole song at first. This version is nothing special at all, sorry. Can you say Neighhhhhh, Neighhhhhhh, LOL

[athywren]

I love every version of this song that I have ever heard. Granted, that's only this one and the original, but the comment remains valid and true.

[snapperjohn1000]

this guy has a melodic understanding of the song and he is not monotone and tone deaf like john frusciantes butchering of the song. now how come no one attempts the tranaitional bridge in this song?

[MrAnfax]

@snapperjohn1000 you sir, is a moron, if you call john frusciante tone deaf.

[MAD2654]

@MrAnfax i am right with you there my friend

[Jespertheshort1]

@MrAnfax You sir, is a very nice person! :) And I think everyone should recognize your talent and subscripe to you! :)

[MrQisgoodforu]

@MrAnfax you sir, IS a moron?? since when isn't it arexD

[MrAnfax]

@MrQisgoodforu hehe English ain't my first language, so shit happens sometimes :P

[MrQisgoodforu]

@MrAnfax i just thought it was funny because your one of the top rated comments:p

and i tottaly agree with you, this version is AWSOME!

[madu187]

@MrAnfax and you sir is a bad engrish speakerrrr

[MrAnfax]

@madu187 and you sir clearly don't know the rules of the internet ^^

[KamikazeProd]

@snapperjohn1000 fuck you john frusciante is a god

[grazzi11]

holey goosebumps!!!

[grazzi11]

holey goosebumps!!!

[shelbell34]

Sikk shirt!

[hudsonhawk1978]

what a shit version. stop talking and learn how to sing .

or start playing football.....

[kitfisto07]

@hudsonhawk1978 u jelly

[enderjan1]

This is an amazing song and I think Grohl was affected by the song the way I am.

Tiny Dancer is on probably 3 of five cd's I burn to listen to back and forth to work. I'm not a big Elton John fan (love Rocket Man and Benny and the Jets and that's about it) but I will be driving down the road singing along to Tiny Dancer at the top of my lungs (a 41-year old man in a suit) and it never gets old. Awesome song and I love Grohl's version because I see it as his homage to a great song

[MarbGuitar]

This cover version sucks compared to John Frusciante's Tiny Dancer cover version!

[Paty10001000]

HEY THIS IS MY SHOW!! I laughed so hard at that bit XD

[chainjix]

I think a lot of people here in the comments kind of don't quite get what this performace is... I'm sure Frusciante's version is fantastic, but this one is not about that.

Oh, why bother.

[NEAL31124]

@chainjix your a doucher

[chainjix]

@NEAL31124 And you can't use English, apparently.

Either you're missing a subject and a verb in this, or you did not know that 'your' and 'you're' are not the same.

Also, 'doucher' is also not what you meant, unless you wanted to speak French. I think you meant to use 'douche' or 'douchebag', but apparently you do not know these words.

Good day, sir(I assume you're a sir and not a lady), your local library probably stocks some English grammar books.

[NEAL31124]

@chainjix you think your an intellectual but your just an attention seeking fag

[chainjix]

@NEAL31124 As it happens, no I don't consider myself to be an intellectual, I've met a lot of people smarter than me.

I do however think that if you must insult someone you might as well take precautions not to insult yourself in the process too. Unfortunately you haven't quite realised the perks of that.

Also, by no means am I a cigarette. I think smoking is largely just dumb.

[NEAL31124]

@chainjix as it happens, i do consider you to be an arrogant cocksuck, and i don't doubt that you've met a lot of peole smarter than you. I do however think that you should take your self-righteousness somewhere else and stop being such a massive prick. unfortuanately you haven't quite realized the perks of that.

[chainjix]

@NEAL31124 That's better, keep practising, you'll figure it out soon enough, capital letters aren't difficult :D

[NEAL31124]

@chainjix yeah, because i'm definetly going to bother using captials when commentig on a youtube video, you superior asshole. great job on insulting my grammar though, its a great way to come back from having your character defects exposed

[jknoahfan]

I love how the top rated comment is how JOHN FRUSCIANTE'S version is better!



[antdude]

Who was that blonde chick in the beginning?

[alexglauer]

@antdude Probably some D-List actress. It's Craig Kilborn.

She was probably in some commercial. "Congratulations on your big success"

[lysmeanslily]

I love Dave Grohl, but songs like this aren't his strong suit, but it's still amazing, because he's such a story teller.

[qlino1313]

damn , grohls a great performer

[SupWitDat19]

He is good and has great stage presence,but jon boy from rhcp smashes him musicianly, on gutair, and vocals. but grohl would tear jons ass up on drums. its like what do you like more? Nirvana and Foo Fighter, or The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Um, Duh, Chili Peppers all the way.

[vampireelenas]

lol Dave Grohl "HEY THIS IS MY SHOW"

[aic81595]

Why is everyone freaking out about the gum? Hendrix chewed gum while performing too.

[Overnightfuture]

grohl is the best

[manipedromanip]

Awesome!! It's not a lie saying that Dave is one of the best musicians nowadays. One of the things i like it's the tributes he does to his idols. :)

[555dallen]

I adore him and the way he did this song! Who is Joe F?

[DrAlbertHoffman]

@555dallen he was the guitarist of red hot chili peppers !!! ......... take a loock on wikipedia ;-D

[awe215]

Take the flippin' gum out of your mouth and sing!

[gilhitmankiedis]

fruiscientes cover is better

[Guznaks]

Frusciante's cover doesn't have such nice vocals^^

also Dave is one of the few that don't take themselves seriously. He's just sitting there having fun with the crowd. brilliant

[tsias10]

dave grohl is an excellent musician.he plays drums,guitar and sings.but yeah,frusciantes cover is way better.john is the man.awesome guitarist,awesome vocalist.awesome talent.but dave is good too :)

[turxx666]

good song, miss kilborn on tv too

[sctvfan1313]

Love this. Fun song... Should have been added to their accustic cd

[sjtiger99]

Dave grohl is the greatest guitar playing drummer

[One2Three4nication]

lol at all the people getting pissy saying he "ruined" the song. he was on that show to entertain, not recreate a masterpiece. the audience was entertained. he did his job. and chewing gum while singing is just one of dave's things. he is pretty much always chewing gum.

[Jokell5]

what's with him yelling "hey this is my show?"

[VelasPata]

Why is he talking in the middle of the song and whit gum??? What is his problem?

This song deserves better!!!

[FooCards88]

OK. To all the people claiming Frusciante's version is better. #1 Learn how to spell his name #2 How is Dave not singing it better than him, John is going falsetto to hit the note while Dave is actually singing the notes #3 Dave's songs > John's songs

[LPPanther]

@FooCards88 Fusciante's is better because he's actually hitting the notes where Dave is just kinda growling to fake it. And if you know anything about Frusciante you'll know he goes falsetto quite often and is very good at it. It's part of his style. Plus the fact that Dave doesn't take the song seriously at all. It's like some stupid fucking comedy routine to him when really he's just shitting all over a great song.

[Morgothhhh]

@LPPanther growling? lol its his singing style, and he rocks at it. He cant really hit that high, but at least he tried to, and John didnt.

[dashboardlights18]

Haters to the left. I can dig this.

[milliondollarlilly]

He is chewing gum........... why?

[beautifulsarah100]

What a fucking moron. He's not fit to polish Elton's piano. He desecrated a perfect song.

[TheBrownNote2007]

@beautifulsarah100 agreed. I'm not even a big Elton John fan at all, but that little monologue at the beginning was super-douchey. Go back to playing drums, please.

[TheTbust]

@TheBrownNote2007 Dude really? How is that douchey? It's sarcasm..

[koastalkool]

he sucks , he makes the song cheap, cant hold the notes, he misses the whole point, so we know he has seen the movie. he should just watch movies & leave shit a lone WTF

[IBleedBlacknGoldx]

Dave fucking Grohl... You sir are my hero!

[XxleandraXX01]

so handsome <3

[ls1dk]

@hanhneevo- He chews gun so his mouth doesnt dry out from all the screaming...

[InatorCorp]

"Okay, the teleprompter stopped..." Nice.

Who cares if it's not Frusciante? It's still an incredibly fun, and atypically un-sucky, TV music performance. Have you guys seen people play on SNL? Nobody, not nobody (well, maybe Queen) performs well on SNL.

[stevie301271]

Although i love the Foo's , Dave big mistake leave that song to Elton especially when chewing gum FFS respect for a song ?.

[stevie301271]

Although i love the Foo's , Dave big mistake leave that song to Elton.

[misssunshine10001]

The fact that hes Dave Grohl and he mentions my faveeeeeeeeeee film make this the best thing ever! :)

[XKatiemiller]

'one more time, come SING IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT'

[hanhneevo]

What kind of professional musician chews gum while performing for an audience?

[itsjjooee]

@hanhneevo dave grohl.

[baambizas]

@hanhneevo dave grohl

[rockstar199ification]

DAVE GROHL IS GOD!!!!!

[ckyfan1015]

@rockstar199ification no clapton is XD

[superduped]

@imafunnycunt This comment is ignorant and I don't agree with it. But it's NOT spam. Unflag it immediately!

[imafunnycunt]

@chrispellis - Well if its on wikipedia it MUST be true....Defending one of your fav bands is admirable, but in this case you are incorrect. FF are a big selling band of the last 15 years and while every rock magazine publication on the plant will tell you that Dave Grohl is some kind of rock god, anyone with half a brain and a mind of their own will tell you that...well...he isnt. Full of his own self importance, FF are a mere margin note in the book of rock history. Video is crap too!

[west2488]

@imafunnycunt

you are an idiot

[brinninb93]

@imafunnycunt Yeah dude. You're wrong and you suck.

[otravezpiedro91]

I love his shirt!!

[benno1204]

so wats this dude got that anyone in any other pub in the world hasnt got,,,fuk all,actually i know hes a cock sucker

[chrispellis]

@benno1204 You sir are a complete and utter failure.

[chrispellis]

Wow do you people live under a rock or something? Everyone referring to the genius of rock Dave Grohl as "this guy" or questioning his talent is an idiot. I mean let's talk about how he was the original drummer for Nirvana. Not to mention the fact that he's played drums for Queens of the Stone Age, Tenacious D and Nine Inch Nails. Oh and wait, he's the leader singer and rhythm guitarist for Foo Fighters, arguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

[MindfulFuture]

@chrispellis Grohl is great, no genuis though..and he wasn't the original drummer for Nirvana, not by a long shot. I love the Foo Fighters but they surely are not even close to 'arguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time'.

[chrispellis]

@MindfulFuture quoted from Wikipedia. "Recognized by many as one of the most influential bands of late 90s and early 2000s. Fernando Garcia, a writer for the Omega, described them as the best band of the 2000–2010 decade, saying that "The decade showed that any teenager with a Disney contract could produce a bestselling record, but there were only a handful of artists who made huge hits while also displaying musical talent, originality, and creativity. Leading this pack was the Foo Fighters."

[MindfulFuture]

@chrispellis So? Yet another critic with his head up his ass...

[thauller]

They don't even know the fucking words when they have to sing with him! What the fuck is this audience?

[davidstoklosa]

Grohl rocks

[mj2skater]

he calls himself a musician and he never heard of Tiny Dancer before that movie? wow.

[MindfulFuture]

@mj2skater I was thinking the same thing, not that it threatened his role as a musician but that he must have lived a sheltered young life..probably just stuck to his thrash metal etc.

[gustavoblahblah]

He can't sing as high as Elton lol

[afrikanaren]

Has he smoke a hell of a lot pot before singing this? Hes fucking voice is cracked. And please spit out that fucking gum!!

A lot of love to John Frusciante!

[psycho826]

@afrikanaren spit out the gum? its dave FREAKIN grohl

[afrikanaren]

@psycho826 I dont give a shit if he is Dave Grohl! Its fucking terrible. I wonder how he is without the gum, Maybe he cant sing at all!

[psycho826]

@afrikanaren he cant sing? ........*awkward pause*........LMFAO hahahahaha

but how would gum affect how he sings? and i think he said he chews gum because his mouth gets dry or something

[simakautas]

really bad voice and singing - I cant believe:)))))

[Zacharia93]

almost famous is the best movie ever

[NoraZWilson]

He´s pretty corney. I was thinking "Come on! Shut up and sing!! But when he did it... I mean, don´t do a cover if you don´t have half the voice the original singer does! It´s a great song, and Elton John nails it! This guy don´t... I don´t either, so in don´t do it.

[geletmote]

this is not bad but john frusciante's version kills it

[Achura10]

Horrible!

Queen ROCKS!

[Bicholinda]

I'll do him in a minute :) LOVE DAVID, LOVE ALMOS FAMOUS, LOVE TINY DANCER.

[adictpunk88]

john frusciantes version is better

[nickphillipscomedy]

@adictpunk88 i love john but hes nowhere near as good of a singer as Grohl.

[adictpunk88]

@nickphillipscomedy i guess its all a matter of opinion 

[brinninb93]

@adictpunk88 Not!

[RyanW8]

@adictpunk88 Do musical performances always have to be comparisons. WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO'S IS BETTER!

[redgreenshow09]

@RyanW8 No it matters

[MrDirectorMan18]

@RyanW8 John Frusciantes is better......

[SuperUkuleleGirl]

@RyanW8 except it's clearly no contest,you know that,right?

[rhcp91sb]

@adictpunk88 without a doubt

[beeblebronx]

Dear Dave,

I had never heard this song before I saw "Almost Famous", but hey, Dave, it made a great happy ending, and Elton John's---you may hate him the way I do---wasn't all that bad. Especially the imagination that the Allmon Brothers or whatever was their name had a good laugh singing this song was a good film ending. I liked it.

[themilkman01001]

wow why do i hate you so much...

[tyu198]

almost famous changed my life.

[JonBoy424242]

@tyu198 me too man, me too

[thiswintertime]

Hes actually not even that good.

[Tschickenboerger]

he has got grate songs, but i recognized, that he always has a chewing gum :D

[Ezsole]

funny great muscian and a really funny guy 2.

[RedHotChiliPrimus]

nothing compared to Johns cover,i have to say i prefer watching Dave beat the shit out of some drums,but i am a huge nirvana fan though,so that probally explains it

[sktnisme]

haha i cant tell if he actually likkes the song or is making fun of it

[heyanto]

The only decent work he ever did was behind the drums in Nirvana. Mr. Ironic. What an idiot.
