Foo Fighters - Let It Die

[manxfaerie]

Wow, I thought I was listening to Dave Grohl sing not a load of whiny children misinterpreting the song....

[BlackSunSerenade]

All respect, but I think Kurt dying, musically was the best thing that could've happened to Dave, not emotionally, obviously.

[MusicIsLove1129]

This song is about two friends who have drifted apart. Calm down, everyone. Just listen.

[FlamingTrumpets]

@MechanizedFantasy - this is completely beside your point, but Kurt is, and always will be, infinitely better than tupac. Kurt's lyrics come from personal experience, and weren't aimed at being popular and making money. speaking from what i've read about kurt, that was the last thing he wanted. your reference to his suicide is a bit blunt, and wrong. in my opinion, he was murdered. the note he left didn't refer to suicide, but rather his plan to retire from the music industry and disappear.

[page887]

Who cares who the song is about.It reminds me of Mr.Cobain.The song is excellent.

[Hotmb23]

true about kurt is a legend and the song speaks of a few things not just thoughs 2, FOO FIGHTERS FOR LIFE!!!

[ldaj95]

I know this isnt about kirt but i watched an inter veiw and most people say they think it is about kurt and he agrees it is partly about kurt but not really. he said he made it for his son so he would never give up and let it die

[SaradominSickness]

@ldaj95 Dave Grohl doesn't have a son.

[page887]

Im grateful to, Mr. Grohl. May none of us get slack and let our dreams die.

[MrOmNomNom99]

Great song, good job Dave, we're all very grateful :)

[guitarchickzgroup]

i gotta be honest.. i always thought this song was about Kurt.. & seriously doubt that Dave would be honest about this in an interview.. afterall.. who wants to admit to being so bloody see-through.. just my opinion :D)

[ThePsychoGamer1337]

it makes me sad when the comment section of an amazing song is a flame war. stop just stop and just let it die

[Amatenosu]

Guys, Guys, calm down. Kurt or Dave, it doesn't matter! Their songs are perfect, what do you need more?

[madamfelony]

I was under the impression this song was about Courtney and not Kurt she friggin killed him anyways he may have pulled the trigger but I'd believe she was the reason he pulled it let Kurt RIP God had other things for him to do

[PolusAbyssus]

@madamfelony whos courtney? i dont really read up on bands backgrounds

[SaradominSickness]

@PolusAbyssus Courtney Love is Kurt Cobain's ex-wife. She and the remaining members of Nirvana has been arguing about some rights, or money, I don't really know. All I know is that she has been talking shit about Dave Grohl, and therefore I do not like her. : P

[Hookahboing]

@SaradominSickness you're right, she's a c*nt

[zim10205]

yhahahahah all the kurt refrenses "ahhh monkey wrench is about him too!!!" hahaha whatever

[ulived1969]

Jesus is the 666  you will all see so very soon

[PortalPottyMan]

@ulived1969 and BenTamburo if it makes you all feel better i think that all the bible is wrong. long live satan. just kidding by the way! i believe there is no god or devil so up yours

[TheSeveredTongues]

@ulived1969 ur fat

[clonecommando522]

KURT IS KURT AND HE IS DEAD, DAVE IS DAVE AND HE IS FOREVER SCARRED BY KURTS DEATH BUT HE HAS MOVED ON AND THE SONG CAN MEAN WHAT IT MEANS AND EVERYONE CAN HAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS.

[zjokke34]

Their songs just go about things who happen to everyone.

So is isn't about curt of elvis or someone... It's just about the situation!

Supa song btw :D

[ulived1969]

jesus is the 666

[BenTamburo]

@ulived1969 You are so stupid!!!

Jesus aint the 666. 666 represents the devil and the Devil is weak, because jesus my savior is stronger than him!

Jesus died in a cross to save all of our souls!!

I know that God is with me all the time <3

[ulived1969]

@BenTamburo i believe in Jesus too & Revelation is the biggest set up in History.....if you knew he was returning then you would set him up if u were the Vatican...keep your eyes open my friend & look out for things to change soon....if you knew what i knew you would find it quite funny...Uranus & Jupiter are in Aries the Cosmic Cross is in start mode & God Bless your soul

[punkx35]

This song is about Elvis Presley, true.

[lennonsbiggestfan]

what a fucking song absolutly class, the singing is unreal

[lakemead00]

This song rocks!

THUMBS UP IF YOU HATE THE NEW YOUTUBE!!!

[GayNotheWay]

lol birkovic. If you think this is emo then you must listen to some pretty weak shit.

[Bleach7Chelseafanx]

Kurt (R.I.P.) was awesome, but leave him alone. Amazin song written for whatever reasons by Dave, it doesnt have to be about Kurt. You may interpret it differently, but you got to agree that this song KICKS ASS!!!!

[birkovic69]

EMO

[cacbice]

Who cares why he wrote it?? Make of it whatever you want. It's called interpretation!! Roll with it. It's a great fuckin song....just sit back and enjoy it!

[74tmcentralc]

yeah they should thank Journey. listen to "stone in love".

[slapsticktoons]

wow wow wow i looooove the foo fighters but let us not mock the 80's here alotta cheese was created but also some GREAAT bands that actually influenced grohl

[ultimomix]

hahaha 80s music. This kicks the shit out of it. Glad I wasnt born then

[Octavianus007]

Love it!

[FuzztoneProductions]

Maybe Dave doesnt want people to know its about Kurt.

The lyrics are pretty obv...

[Phoenix68507]

@FuzztoneProductions dude your a dumbass he could be talking about anyone

[RizingZeppelin]

2:40

[JoeBottoms]

Dave said this song isn't about Kurt, he doesn't like to tell people what lyrics mean so it leaves them open for interpretation, but his interpretation is about two people that fell apart from each other. It makes more sense in my opinion.

[outlawguy89]

Exactly, I mean....why would Dave write EVERY song about Kurt. Makes no sense.

You said exactly what this song means. Thank you.

[joeyman24239]

R.I.P kurt ... you rocked

[Noobitronix]

THIS SONG IS NOT ABOUT KURT YOU ARE ALL RETARDED!!!!!!! /CHEEEEEER He said in an interview that it WASN'T about Kurt. Every song that he makes isn't about Kurt, GET OVER IT. The man is dead, sorry.

[Phoenix68507]

@Noobitronix AMEN BRO

[Guitarstring187]

@Noobitronix probably because so much people are obsessed with kurt so they project them selves onto music.

[MusicandMovies134]

@Noobitronix yeah i saw that interview too - but its rude of u to say GET OVER IT - Kurt Cobain left a amazing legacy u shouldnt disrespect that

[Noobitronix]

@MusicandMovies134 I don't disrespect the legacy, I just think that people need to get over the whole !Everything's about Kurt! fad that they seem to be on...

[xxredhairdkimxx]

@Noobitronix HEY YOU FUCKING RETARD! THE SONG MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABOUT KURT COBAIN IN A FUCKING MEDIA ASPECT, BUT IF YOU REALLY LISTEN TO THE SONG. I AND ALMOST EVERYONE WHO WAS IN THAT ERA KNOWS THAT KURT INFLUENCED NOT ONLY DAVE GROHL BUT SO MANY INDIVIDUALS. I BELEIVE IN REAL MUSIC, AND I'LL BET EVERYONE WHO HEARS THIS SONG KNOWS THAT "IF NOT SPECIFIED" THINKS OF KURT COBAIN. R.I.P.

[Noobitronix]

@xxredhairdkimxx UMADBRO?

[KelzRoze]

@xxredhairdkimxx no.

[XxSystemofaEricxX]

@Noobitronix ur rite, it's not fair people keep trying to link his songs with kurt cobain, but i HATE the way u adress him. that man thats dead is Kurt Donald Cobain to you and he is a fucking legend

[MechanizedFantasy]

@XxSystemofaEricxX He wasn't very good as a singer. His range was crap, his endurance was crap, his enunciation and breath control were crap...Wait-Why is he supposedly a legend again?

[XxSystemofaEricxX]

@MechanizedFantasy haha dude are you like 5? he went down as one of the best singers in history for a reason

[MechanizedFantasy]

@XxSystemofaEricxX LoL. 0/10. Your attempts at personal insult fail you, bro. I will admit that you have the 'went down' part right, at least. The best thing that could have happened to that band was 'ol Kurt riding the 12 gauge pogo stick. The Foo Fighters, in attitude, energy, synergy and all-around musicianship are easily ten times the band that Nirvana was, being fronted by that mumbling, junkie f*ckwit. You can attempt to gold-plate the guy, just like Tupac's fans. He's still not a legend.

[andropovg]

@MechanizedFantasy how about you tell everyone who grew up in the 90's that man? i was there, and nirvana was something i dont ill ever see the likes of again. kurt's sheer songwriting and singing talent easily make him one of the greatest musicians ever, and his death was a tragedy.

[fecalposition]

fucking idiot, its not about kurt

[zibbitzapzoo]

i can play this song its sooooooo fun

[utouchmyuhlala]

this is my 2nd fav song

[StrangeLittleGirl4]

What's Ur 1st ?.?.?

[mredda]

u have a point

[StrangeLittleGirl4]

David Grohl is TOO Beautiful... Truely BEAUTIFUL.

[StrangeLittleGirl4]

VISCERAL. and REAL.

[StrangeLittleGirl4]

wow ThanXoXoX for this beautiful vid. i fell Ur pain.

[timmy11zoomsharecom]

In a response to pipes5708

Kurt cobain changed music forever

he made people think of it diffrently and Nirvana was one of the most "music" influential bands

[atoms12123]

Kurt smells like wet dog

[mredda]

are u serious? cobain changed music forever? wtf did he do that was so great??

[zachpygott]

glam rock changed to pretty much heavily distorted punk music with people who didnt wear gay clothes and his music along with others changed the sound of music in the late 80s / early 90s grunge is the name and its amazing

[zibbitzapzoo]

WAT DO YOU MEAN!?!?!?!? kurt was the god of grunge. he basicaly started grunge.... grunge bands like pearl jam and alice in chains and soundgarden all are awesome and can be called grunge because of kurt

[JAKKU94]

That people still talk about him 15 years after his death must mean he done something?

[pipes5708]

i hav to say this song is about Kurt

i dont see how sum of the lyrics fit to daves description of it bein about 2 ppl falling apart, i dnt he wants to deal with all the questions

[JAKKU94]

lol i know beautiflul viens. herion obviously

[sacabuchi]

he said in an interview that its was about him losing Kurt

[pipes5708]

care to give a link?

[watte625]

of course.. would be logical

[AstupidPerson2]

actually he said it wasn't bout kurt

[Garlyto]

This song kicks ass. It's awesome, and if I could hear the sound of my heart crying, it would sound like this. Most songs are so special / good because they appeal to you. Even when they're actually about something else. The song should mean something to you. And if it was about Kurt or not shouldn't matter anything.

[trevortheguitarist]

this was about kurt

[hernandeznathan50]

Dave said it is not about Kurt.

[chaosknucklez]

heard it was bout Dave's ex

[zander154]

i agree with chemicax420

Dave said it was just about a guy who loses his wife and pecificly said it was not aimed a Kurt

and then said right after hew rote it, he said god dam now im gunna have to answer this questiona amillion times :L

[yadig666]

ha he had kurt in mind

[ellioteaston93]

come alive and let it die haha

[chemicalx420]

Without Cobain's death there more than likely wouldn't be Foo Fighters. Look past the tragedy of Kurt's suicide and be thankful that the Foo's keep Hard Rock alive!

BTW This song is not even close to being about Kurt.

[ledxzeppelinx182]

no i think the only song that the foo fighters made about cobain was my hero but i could be mistaken cus when you listen to the lyrics in let it die it would make alot of sencie to be about kurt

[DONCHUNO]

Really? My hero is for Kurt? I thought it was just about his ordinary heroes.

[KingRaymanuel]

It's not about Kurt.  It's about ordinary heroes.

[fabsol199]

no its not dum ass

[ledxzeppelinx182]

wtf is everyones problems im fucking agreeing with you assholes i just said it wouild make sence cus the lyrics fit! wtf

[lkgrave]

Not every song Grohl writes is about Cobain (or Courtney Love, with the exception of "I'll stick around.").  It's been 15 years and I think he's been over Kurt's suicide for a long time. Maybe you should be too.

[ledxzeppelinx182]

im agreeing with you i just saying that it would make sense if let it die was about him im not saying it is its about dave's ex wife i think

[zander154]

Courntey was Kurts wife, not Daves.

[DunDamage]

no, someone doesnt get over something like that.. and if your a fan of cobain and you let it go.. your a pathetic fan..

[Blink182plus44equ226]

Fanaticism over dead people is a definate sign you need to move on.

[ledxzeppelinx182]

im not saying that i hevint moved on jesus i just said that the lyrics would fit to be about cobain but i know its not im just saying its a counicidence

[formular1king]

why dont we all just assume every song is about kurt cobain and then sometimes we'll be right.

[wilsonp1]

doesn't echoes have any film clips?

[Neoptolomos]

...goes right to the heart guys.... great job... YOU are the best....

[Neoptolomos]

..wonderful....

[pirataseba20]

This song is about the relansionship about courtney love and kurt cobain.I listen say dave's say that

[rabbestappe]

i love love love this song

[MATARVO]

I think the only song about kurt its Friend of the Friend

[replica07]

what about Everlong? i was told that it was about kurt.

[foofighterr1]

False, it's about his divorce with his wife.

[SILVERPACK6]

que chimba de cancion !!

[velcom]

ITS NOT ABOUT KURT

stop trying to relate it to the guy

Foo fighters has no connection to nirvana anymore

this band surpassed nirvana years ago

plus in my opinion Nirvana would have never been remembered so well if kurt didnt die

thats my opinion

[WackoD]

dude, its about kurt, trust me, look up some foo fighters interviews, ull see then...

[KrackerJacker]

ya I remember hearing that

[yadig666]

i think it is about kurt. neil young wrote some about kurt. and he says heart of gold like write in the beginning of the song.

[KidAJonni]

Neil Youngs "Hear Of Gold" song is about Kurt?? lol, That song came out in 1972 when Kurt was 5, lol

[JJDR92]

porqe sale el la foto de in your honor ? xd

[Fantalidiot]

This song is great

[isoscelespopsicle]

according to dave himself... the song is not about kurt. it's just about relationships in general so he can understand why people would think it's about kurt

[xnirvanafanx]

i think this song is dedicated to Kurt because he was why it ended and in the song he always says why did u have to go and let it die R.I.P Kurt Cobain (grunge is not dead)

[whylus]

Don't be retarded, stop beating a dead horse and trying to relate everything Dave does to a guy that died 15 years ago! I'm sure he has moved on by now, so should you and let it die! Stupid obsessive fans...

[mariusb95]

i think everyone should think of this song in his one way , but my one opinion :

it's not about kurt but there is a albino rabbit ( or antything else) which is a metaphor for a relationship

[Sammy102093]

People ask him about Nirvana and his past with Kurt and he says that he doesnt like to talk bout it. Hed rather just continue on without talking bout his past

[Sh3dL0n]

why does everyone look at the foo fighters and go oh dave grohl OMG KURT!! fuck that peice of shit oding on heroin and then everyone blaming courtney who gives a shit he was dead either way.. little forensics tip heroin dont move through the blood stream after yur dead and since the reports said there was 20x the lethal dose in his viens as in plural he had already over dosed when he was shot you smartasses so go be gay elsewhere.

[ironpuppy1]

i dont think everyone does i know i dont

[jorum7]

omg dave said his songs mean nothing there just pop songs :P

[maryef27]

I heard somewhere that it was actually about Courtney.

[justinmilesmurray007]

this song is blatently about an albino rabbit (with beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes)that somebody killed.

It's the only explanation.

[darker90]

Sure! hahahahaha

[Some1sBabyDoll]

Its sounds like its about letting a relationship die...someone's leaving..don't think it has anything to do with Kurt cobain..give it a rest already.

[thomash1592]

grohl said it was influenced by him but not about him in an interview when the album came out

[foofightersguy]

is this song about kurt???

[BetoAngus]

very cool! thanks for the song!

[cautionblue22]

i heard this thing on the radio... they were joking about how this song is about the singer's roomate leaving the apartment and nobody took care of their plant and so it died lol

[TruePhyX]

lmfao nice...

[ninjafrank1337]

xD thats fantastic.

[radioheadradio]

lmao

[de4thdragons]

one of the best songs ^.^

[acedockon]

love this song:)

[LaunkaProductions]

This is one of there best songs.

WHY'D YOU HAVE TO GO AND LET THIS DIE!!!!!!!

[mattpegcity]

this song is about courtney

did you ever think of me, oh so considerate. My buddy's mom said it was about courtney giving up all the rights.and basically left dave with like nothing

[alexander371zxd]

shit! this song is great

[xyz123doraeme]

"Do you ever think of me?" "I see your face in another light" " your hearts gone cold your hands were tied"

this song is about a girl leaving a guy

[andrew24p]

wow... ready4scrill ure retarded they have extreme evidence that global warming is happening..

[killerqueen617]

The song sounds like it would fit in a Nirvana album easy. I'm sure Kurt was a big influence on Dave's own sound. how could he not, kurt was a master. Who would have known that a drummer could rock out like this!

[XxMetalicDeathxX]

I think its 4 kurt and if its not it still is 2 me =3 he was my hero

[Ready4Scrill]

And by the way. I don't think Dave Grohl would make a tribute song for Kurt like 12 years after he died. I think it would have been quite a while ago.

[Ready4Scrill]

the people who say that Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain are the same people who believe in the global warming propaganda. Kurt was heavy into heroin and obviously depressed as expressed in his lyrics. So he blew his head of with a shotgun in his attic.

[brandonnirvana]

wasnt his attic its was a greenhouse

[ldsDragonboy]

he was bi-polar

[dudeSTFUtyler]

im a little confused what about kurt and dieing?

is that the lead singer or something.

p.s. beastly song.

[liquid1122]

I hope your kidding, but if not then Kurt was the lead singer of Nirvana which Dave Grohl (singer off Foo FIghters) played drums for. Ppl think this song is about Kurt, most likely it isn't though.

[LTSnapperSS]

lead singerr of nirvana

[rotorheadagain]

didnt you fools know that it was dave grohl who killed kurdt? its the same scenario as puffy and biggie =P

[Whit3strip3sRul3]

wow... you're soo cool... Grohl Didn't kill Kurt, Courtney Did!

[rotorheadagain]

whoa the white stripes are amazing! Kurdt killed himself!

[Whit3strip3sRul3]

that's where I have to disagree with you... Kurt couldn't have killed himself...

[illdietommorow]

why is that?

[cookiedrandan]

.... what?

[LTSnapperSS]

ever heard of drugs...i thought thats what killed him?

[fldi17]

I'm alomost sure about one simple thing :

-don't care about Kurt or poor courtney.

You can't buy any talent. So simple as Growl is filled from that creativity.

Now, think if Kurt still alive...

-ouch purist.

[dclink90]

omg a music vid would be nice for this song it rocks

[Russianrebel1945]

how about "YouArgue broadcast your hostility"?

[johnbond114]

LMAO i love reading youtube arguments they should have some kind of official name for such arguments

[Hopefullyurs]

i like the guitar riff's their familiar but in a way that you would have imagined your self that's what i like about the foo fighters

[openeyedbeast]

wow you guys are hostel

[gunit4lyknigga]

This is actually in honour of Kurt as he speaks about it in an interview on this very website!

[petetownshend248]

No dude. he said in an interview thats its NOT about kurt

[FreshHareUSA]

i'm not talking about this song, just in general

[FreshHareUSA]

why do people always think every foo song about loss has something to do with kurt?

[maktar72]

the song is 100% directed at courtney love.... do a little research before posting your opinions as fact.

[petetownshend248]

Uhh... you should do the same dumb ass poser pussy. search for "foo fighters on the hour" and click the one that looks more recent and watch it. dave says in it that its not about courtney OR kurt. he says in a different interview that he's never written a song about kurt or courtney. courtney says that he dose but courtney is a fucking retarded, poser bitch worthless murderer who couldn't even write a SHITTY song to save her life.

[fityz13]

i love how all u ppl get in uge arguments on youtube. hahaha

[monkey112194]

hahahaha know right how people get into arguments

[omfgwtfroflol]

how is it about courtney love? explain
