  • To be fair, he's right.

    Dave Grohl isn't a great singer in all technicality.

    Doesn't mean he's not enjoyable, but his technical ability isn't up to par with bands that were around "in his day".

  • Should've showed him Everlong

  • @Kriskazam I think he should have played February Stars. Great mix of soft and hard rock. I guess you've gotta go with the singles though.

    And although I disagree, this was pretty funny. "I've heard the great singers...and this guy sucks."

  • hahah oh well hes got an opinion even though I DONT FUCKING RESPECT IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FOO FIGHTERS BEST ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SILVERCHAIR

  • almost made me cry!! poor uncle didnt feel /hear the beautiful voice and heart of awesome dave!!...make him hear his REAL voice on something acoustic!! everlong or alandria or hero...good grief...he's missing out on the best thing in life!! time with THE FOOS!! it mends the heart!!

  • Aww I love Dave!! Haha :)

  • pro con red hot chilli peppers californication

  • I have no problem with other people's opinions, not at all, but I was almost crying to know that there are people who don't like Dave Grohl.

  • blink 182, paramore please

  • SLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • PRIMUS!!!

  • He's probably just a little older than myself. Some of us aren't used to that 90's vocal style. But I agree with you in this case: Foo's are alright~! |m/

  • MUSE

  • You should have done Everlong instead

  • METALLICA

  • Not sure whether or not you've heard this band or not, but do BIFFY CLYRO, (Old Biffy). please!!!!!! :)

  • RIOB UNCLE kicks ass.

  • It's all in perspective isn't it? I love Dave's voice because it sounds like he's giving it all no matter what. Even if he can't "do it like he used to", he always gives 110% and that's what I love. I like how it's raw and it's real... good music isn't all about having a pretty voice. What would rock be if that was the case?

  • His voice isnt outstanding but it fits with the songs which is good!

  • Smashing Pumpkins Bullet with Butterfly Wings !!!

  • Dude I fuckin' love your Uncle. I disagree w/ him...

    BUT I LOVE HIM!!!

  • rock it out uncle . . . . . you dont know shit fuck you

  • SLAYER!!!!!!!

  • I can understand where your uncle is coming from.  I love the Foo Fighters, but sometimes Ghrol's voice gets tiresome.

  • i think slipknot vermilion pt. 2 or dead memories would be good choices.

  • SEETHER

  • arctic monkeys

  • Korn would be interesting to see a response! And do the song Freak On a Leash or Coming Undone! That would be legit

  • blink 182, smashing pumpkins, sonic youth, afi, sum 41, korn, rage against the machine...DARE

  • SLAYER

  • AFI!

  • i dont like them but do canibal corpse or something :P

  • got to do queens of the stone age for one of them...

  • the ramones would be an excellent choice, perhaps beat on the brat or teenage lobotomy.

  • Pro/Con The Gorillaz or U2 :D

  • Lol xD Dejavu xD My mom said the same about Dave's voice and she calls them the Kung Fu Fighters xD

    Motörhead!

    Btw anyone looking for new bands: Diablo BLVD, very unknown belgium band but they're awesome! Search: DIABLO BLVD /// VIRUS

  • Iron Maiden or Motorhead?

  • Do Evanescence

  • radiohead

  • Do MEGADETH

  • DAVE GROHL IS BOSS, ):

  • dude you have the best family EVER...i wish my family was that awesome lol

  • Some people consider Dave Grohl the greatest rock singer of all time?! Really? Who are these people? I mean, I don't think he sucks, like your uncle does, but I definitely wouldn't put him anywhere near the upper echelon of rock singers.

  • METALLICA

  • The song they are most known for is Everlong so that should have been the one he listened to.

  • is that a bryan stars sweatshirt

  • Sleep. Or some other classic stoner band.

  • I actually agree with what he said hahahaha

  • guns n´roses

  • LAMB OF GOD!

  • The Strokes!

  • WHITE STRIPES

  • @BODMONBASSTINGZ THIS!

  • I love Dave Grohl's singing but I think your Uncle is right, he does try to hard, almost like he's trying to be Kurt Cobain.

  • @acdc192837465 yea at first but now they have evolved and grown as a band, so now they have their own sound, so now when you hear their music your like o wow that the foo fighters cause it's unique

  • @acdc192837465 emmm no

  • i effin love dave grohl, i think he is an amazing singer :)

  • Show someone The Clash. or The Who

  • I can actually understand that opinion if monkeywrench is the first song he's ever heard by them since its a lot of Dave's classic screaming, especially towards the end. My parents would always tell me when I listened to them that they like the music but hate how all he does is scream. But we all know everything about them is tops. Also, I think The White Stripes is a good band for this segment.

  • I like Dave's voice, but I don't think he's one of the best singers alive.. Live he isnt that good. As a frontman, he's amazing ofcourse! But I understand why your uncle would say this.. I love him nonetheless ;)

  • @5stringsab I dont agree... i saw him live and it was fuckin amazing

  • wounded voice hahaaa that was funny, never thought of grohls voice like that

  • Radiohead!!!

    

  • White Stripes!!!!!!!!!

  • KKKOORRNN

  • you couldn't of chose a worse foo song sammi.....

  • artist dir en grey song aint afraid to die

  • Nine Inch Nails. That'll be so cool.

  • THRICE! ALCHEMY INDEX! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!!

  • I think that would be great if you do Evanescence .

  • Papa Roach!!

  • show someone steel panther!!!

  • Korn

  • Jane's Addiction would be a cool pro/con especially since there new album is out. Soundgarden would be tight too. First comment on your videos keep up the good work

  • Get shitty Band like Nickelback and get a good one like The Velvet Uderground and see what they think.

  • Panic! at the disco

  • "Don't wanna be your monkey wrench, OKAY FINE WHAT DO YOU WANNA BE?" I LOVE HIM XDDD

  • RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS!!!!!!!!:DDDDDD

  • But it's DAVE FUCKING GROHL!!!!!!!

  • Slipknot, any song

  • you should do one of an old classic band like RUSH and let a little kid listen to it.

  • @TheRepentDrums due who are you calling kids you're 16 years old. XD

  • @DeathToTheBully i know haha but i want to see a little kid like 12 and younger listen to some Rush or Styx, i for one stay classic but still listen to modern metal and "screamo" (i call it metalcore)

  • @TheRepentDrums yeeeeeaaaah screamo is gay,and when i say gay i mean it sucks. C:

  • @DeathToTheBully yeah, ur totally right

  • i think sound garden would be a good one to do

  • Pro/Con Muse! Plug In Baby FTW

  • RADIOHEAAAD

  • Pro/Con Meshuggah :D

  • FOO FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

  • Pro/con Radiohead

  • gooood stuff again, but maybe use more songs cause in all fairness, monkey wrench is one of those songs dave screams his heart out, if you give him walk im sure he'll like it but its those songs that he sings norma/ and then goes out screaming, but again REALLY GOOD VIDEO, next Pro/Con: Rage Against the Machine, Ramones, Blink-182 or Red Hot Chili Peppers

  • SLAYER DAMN IT!!!!!

    

  • Pro/Con Sick Puppies! 

  • radiohead

  • trying too hard - a-men

  • As a huge Foo fan, the last song I liked by them, was Monkey Wrench. It definitely grew on me! I wont say the first listen of that song is a good indicator if it's any good...

  • Let him hear a more populair song like The Pretender. he will change!

  • Radiohead; Pyramid song. You know you want to Sami.

  • PRO/CON Slayer

  • Pro/Con: Bring Me The Horizon

  • Pro/Con Tool!

  • PRO/CON: U2

  • PRO/CON Red Hot Chili Peppers That would be awesome!

  • You should get a lot more views...

  • Pro/Con: SLAYER

  • PRO/CON SLAYER NOW.

  • BEST SHOW ON YOUTUBE!

  • PRO/CON Metallica!

  • PRO/CON:MEGADETH

  • Please for the love of everything that is holy do promise and play Jerry was a race car driver or wynonnas big Brown beaver

  • Coheed And Cambria. I'd like to see their reaction to the vocals & guitar work.

  • Do evanescence !

  • ''Lebanon, wat up?'' haha.

  • I like your uncle - he seems like a nice guy - reminds me of one of my uncles - but I'm not digging this pro/con thing with family - I mean my uncle (who is italian) would hate and I mean hate all my music - well apart from the only music we share in common, the old stuff like Dean Martin and ol' blue eyes - its a generation thing - my uncle thinks guys with long hair should call themselves girls - its a no win situation.

  • I hate to think what he thinks of Kurdt.

  • Writing good music and the ability to sing do not go hand in hand...

  • so stupid how he says the music is good but get rid of the singer, the singer fuckin wrote the song

  • this man lost so many respect points for the thing he said about dave

  • @crazy001boy Sami should play some Sir Psycho Sexy to his mum.

  • White Stripes!!!

  • Oh that's just crazy. This guy must not have heard Marigold. I love how Dave screams on Weenie Beenie too. You can't really tell anything from just one song.

  • Pro/Con Metallica, Unforgiven, Sanitarium, or Fade to Black

  • Bullet for my Valentine! Bullet for my Valentine! Bullet for my Valentine! Bullet for my Valentine!

  • I actually watched a whole 2 and a half hour documentary of the foo fighters just saturday too.

  • i feel like you choose some of the hardest songs. let your uncle hear big me, or everlong, let him listen to WALK!!! for fucks sake...

  • your shirt is making me hungry....for apples....

  • ARCTIC MONKEYS C:

    or radiohead.

  • @RockItOutBlog Hey, can we have more of a choice in the song selection for the band? Like why dont u choose the band, and we vote the song selection. Because im sure we all like the bands ur gonna use, but the song selection is iffy imo. Also, can the rock it out! sister be on the next episode? just sayin haha

  • @AK93ism hmmm...interesting idea. I might start implementing that.

  • @RockItOutBlog Your uncle definitely has good ear, is the biggest problem of FF, they have a REALLY nice beat, guitars and, in general, music behind, with good spirit and nice attitude but Dave Grohl is NOT a good singer.

    Watch him live, he cannot catch the high parts of his own songs, wich is kinda lame, i love him because he has a interesting voice tone but no more.

    Oh, and you should play some Mastodon to your Uncle. Love the idea btw.

    Rock it out!

  • @HittokiriBattousai17 It's hard to sing 20 songs live when almost all of them involve screaming.

  • @mgnewage479 That means you can't sing rock and roll...go and say that shit to Mr Jaz Fafara....

  • @HittokiriBattousai17 I would, but there's a big difference between Dave's screams and fafara's.

    You're telling me that if you can't scream, you can't sing rock and roll. Makes no sense, man. Are you defining Rock music as one sub genre?

  • @mgnewage479 No, i used it as a generic therm. He dosn't have a nice voice, that's a fact, and if he cannot hold his roaring for long he shouldnt roar in the first place, it's simple, his voice is catchy, but he has not quality about it.

    And by the way, i am a Foo Fighter fan.

  • @HittokiriBattousai17 Telling me he doesn't have a nice voice is just an opinion. I don't think Dave has an amazing voice like Raine or Thom, but many other people love him for his raspy voice, and many famous vocalists have been known for that quality.

    You're right, Dave can't roar like he used to, but he still tries to pull it off because he still has a passion for music.

  • @mgnewage479 Very remarkable, but not enough. I love James Hetfield but he cannot sing anymore has he used to do.

  • @HittokiriBattousai17 Dave can still sing imo. He just can't scream like he used to. Listen to Skin and Bones.

    "not enough", have no idea what you mean.

  • As much as I love Dave Grohl and the Foos, I don't think very many people consider him the best or even among the best singers in rock history.

  • PRO/CON Radiohead

  • The Beatles! Duh!

  • Metallica or RHCP

  • White Stripes! Show some love for Michigan!

  • No way. My lebanese uncle loves Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin too!

    You know, I'm pretty glad I'm a girl. I'd hate to inherit the bald gene. All the men in my Lebanese family are bald or balding...

  • shoulda given something from wasting light, like walk or something

  • slash solo album

  • this segment is great!

  • Comment removed

  • Rock music news*

  • I like what your trying to do with this 'pro/con' stuff, but I kind of what rock music because that's why I subscribe to you. Maybe it would be cool to do this kind of video a little less like once a month. I'm sorry I just don't find it interesting.
