Foo Fighters - Exhausted

[MrGuitarman187]

Kurt wouldnt use this song on nirvana records. Sad but true...its fuking awsome. 

[MANICHEESE]

listen that fucking music with that (search in google rainymood) and think in your fucking life

Sorry my english, I'm portuguese but we all have a sad/happy life!

PS- One of my favourite songs 

[realraaaul]

great song. great album. the only one i bought of theirs. didn't like what i heard after this one.

[DarkLabProductions]

my fav foos song!

[nirvanabeatle1]

this is by far the best foo fighters album. its too bad i relized this now before i lost the cd now i have to buy another cd : (

[Eldererr]

Stil Nirvana in here.

[Haloman777]

I love how the distortion adds a whole different feeling to the song

[Thunderbolt993]

grohl made a demo of this song in 1994 with novoselic when they was in nirvana...and the day after they made "you know you're rights" with cobain...i find nirvana sound in this song...awesome

[Nico401]

@Thunderbolt993 definatley.

[Cinerary]

This song has always been amazing to me... I've moved on to other genres but I always hold a place in my heart for this....

I love the double bass kick patterns in the sludgier section... Reminds me a lot of Darkthrone's "In the Shadow of the Horns" on their A Blaze in the Northern Sky album... Dave was a big fan of extreme metal (US death and European black metal) and since that album came out in 1992, he may have taken influence from Nocturnal Culto's style.

[xmetaljessex]

@Cinerary This riff and fuzz sound similar to something you might find on Burzum's Filosofem too. Great FF song and album -- easily their best.

[MrGuitarman187]

@xmetaljessex dude when i herd this first i though black metal HAHAHAHAHA so true

[4evervids4u]

this is the only foo fighters song that falls into the category of grunge

[asonjaryg]

This album makes me feel so nostalgic. This album more than any other I've listened to, I'm not sure what it is. But in my opinion, I would put this album up against any Nirvana album. Or any other rock album for that matter.

[Tihvit]

I was exhausted when i finally reached this song . :) jk

[humanzeez4realz]

2:13-2:15 WTF WHO DOES THAT!? i remember hearing that as a kid and being blown away by how he used the feed back to change progressions... Ugh if this song could make a person fat, id be morbidly obese..

[melliwww]

Made by Foo Fighter no ''s''

[shitamp]

funeral song for grunge

[FatAlbert969]

Grohl's best song IMHO. Would have sounded great as a hidden track on In Utero.

[gkaplan2000]

Perfect end to an amazing album.

[severancepop26]

It's so hard to explain how this song makes me feel. It mellows me out yet fills me with angst. It makes me want to smile and cry at the same time. this is timeless music, This is Dave Grohl at his brilliant best

[TheFrenziedGamer]

That's true. At the same time I can't really fault those people because I'm the same way with a lot of HUGE bands in history. Like, Eagles, Led Zep, The Who, Hendrix. I know these bands are legends and as a guitar player alone I should listen to their less popular stuff but I just don't. I do know other bands like the back of my hand. Like, Nirvana, FF, Metallica, AIC, STP -

[TheFrenziedGamer]

@mgnewageD479 I agree with Eldererr - still one of the best bands either way. Going mainstream is inevitable with a band this big and talented.

[Eldererr]

Their 1st albums were grunge/alternative,especially this. after in your honor he turned more and more to this American Mainstream Rock.

[mario1136]

@Eldererr The first 3 albums are grunge/alternative, One by One is hard rock/alternative, In Your Honor is alternative, ESP&G is alternative, and Wheels from their greatest hits album is Mainstream Rock

[Justeatmytoast]

@mario1136 Why to categorize? For what? Why don't just enjoy?

[mario1136]

@Justeatmytoast You realize that comment is a year ago right? Nice username by the way lol

[Justeatmytoast]

@mario1136 Do you want to eat my toast?

[mario1136]

@Justeatmytoast If you don't mean that in a sick way, then hell yes. with butter and jelly :D

[SuperRabbit1980]

here i am looking at flags lol

[SuperRabbit1980]

s8ick so says lol

[okzido]

"3 stupid morons dislikes this song"

[afuckhead1]

i dont like new foo fighter stuff

[Olympiakos71]

My fave song off this album

[CronicState]

Just for the sake of Trollin' :')....

It should say "...From HIS debut album" cause techinically he did make the album himself...

But technicalities suck.

[Bringbackrealmusic1]

@guitarstring187 that might be wrong, there's this one guy trolling around YouTube hating on grohl and he seems like the type who edits wiki for hours

[TheGoldenShamrocks]

@Bringbackrealmusic1 That bastard! Who could hate on Dave?

[purplehaze32]

Still easily Dave's best work. The later albums may have stronger singles, but the debut (which he did EVERYTHING on except some guitar on X-Static) is still the best from the first track to the last.

[EFRANEED]

Grunge.

[asonjaryg]

Sometimes I wonder how the human mind is able to make up a riff like this. So mysterious, dark and beautiful.

[circa05]

Kurt just didn't want to sing daves lyrics.



[daftmastercheifpunk]

@circa05 lol,who do you think wrote scentless apprenttice?

[srhbtts]

@circa05 Kurt was more than happy to sing Dave's lyrics. When Dave first showed Kurt some of his lyrics, Kurt was excited, and said, "Now I don't have to be the only songwriter in the band!"

[Guitarstring187]

@srhbtts not from what ive read. kurt didnt want any impute from dave. Dave showed this song to kurt and kurt rejected it. 

[srhbtts]

@Guitarstring187 You read wrong, my friend. Kurt said it himself, and Dave has talked about it many times. Otherwise, they obviously wouldn't have worked on Dave's songs together. Kurt also wasn't the only one that wrote all of Nirvana's songs towards the end. Both Dave and Krist contributed to the writing, and overall composition. They were a band... it wasn't just Kurt and 2 other dudes. They worked together, and that's part of the reason why Nirvana is so great and timeless.

[Justeatmytoast]

@srhbtts Dave wrote Marigold and Kurt helped him. All they wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit. But other stuff is just Kurt's work. They were a band, and NIrvana wouldn't be the same without Krist and Dave, and Chad, they were irreplaceable and they had contribution into Nirvana's sound, music, but Kurt was main composer of all.

[srhbtts]

@Justeatmytoast Main composer, of course, but a lot was poured in from the rest. A lot. Many make it seem like it was close to effortless for everyone but Kurt, but that's a huge misconception. Composition doesn't just include lyrics, and even those weren't ALL Kurt every single time.

[Justeatmytoast]

@srhbtts And it doesn't mean I see Nirvana as Kurt and two other guys, I see Nirvana as Kurt, Krist, Dave, Chad, Pat. All they are so important for me and all they did in Nirvana something amazing. I just mean they worked together not as in the way of composing, only a bit. That's all.

[punaniswabber]

@Guitarstring187 well kurt wanted nirvana to be like the pixies and he mite have liked this song, but not for nirvana to play it

[Guitarstring187]

pretty crazy he showed this to Kurt and Kurt didnt want any of his songs on his records. gay cuz this is so bad ass.

[TheGoldenShamrocks]

@Guitarstring187 Wrong! lol, Dave once said in an interview that Kurt really liked this song, Sadly, Nirvana never got the chance to take it to the studio. You're right about this song be bad ass though :D

[Guitarstring187]

@TheGoldenShamrocks wiki says otherwise but it is just wiki

[TheGoldenShamrocks]

@Guitarstring187 hmm maybe Dave wasn't telling the truth? Its possible i guess. However wikipedia isn't always right but who knows, the past is past right?

[zoandhertaco]

it's enigmatic even

[frontosa6]

Such an amazing song!

[church7089]

First time I heard this song I thought that "gritty" sound in the background was because I got a bad file.

[Thearmsman]

Its nice to fuck while listening to Exhausted..

[metalazo666]

best foo song

[The2Midnight3Jam]

Are you a fan of bands like Nirvana, Hole, the Foo Fighters, or Alice in Chains? If so, visit our page and watch our videos.

[79912231]

Lo que siento es angustia, la alegria que llega no la soportare solo, llorare por ti.

[NIRVANA4LIFE123]

There's not one song that I don't like on this album.

That's how you know that a band is so badass!!!:D

[MikeDrumsIt]

'Their' ?! This is all Dave Grohl buddy.

[vivis82]

Stupenda!

[SANITYFADES79]

Another Great Foo Classic Man the Foo Fighters gotta love em and they still got it

[reubs8]

nice

[DieHardGardenFan]

I love the audio quality of Foo Fighters' first album. It all sounds like ass.

[hippomaniac1]

its not 'their' debut album cause dave did all of it he only got a band so he could tour

[Shilo83]

The colour and the shape comes a close 2nd to this brilliant album. Always takes me back.

[Pierre2631]

omg i'd rly like to have sex with this song

[fakturd78]

@Pierre2631 with or while its playing. lol. either way. lol : )

[Pierre2631]

@fakturd78 haha indeed, but i was just kidding! :) Great song btw

[youknowyoureright91]

@Pierre2631 me too dude i'd love to fuck it

[ToiletFinger]

What a great track! Thanks for the memories!

[MrJasioslawski]

one of my favourites, i've used to listen to this song for hours

[rockypc24]

this song was released as a single one day before i was born

[MrSentia]

Whenever I feel Exhausted,I turn this song up LOUD.

[jam1ng]

its almost a tribute to kurt. the mood of it. or atleast alot of the album iv heard anyways. just started listenin to them again

[seethelightofgod]

@jam1ng yea there's alot of tribute to kurt on that album

[Dillyboyee]

Is it just me or is this riff very similar to "oh George"?

all that aside, I look at this entire album as sort of a "legacy" to nirvana..

[AsMhMoOt]

Not to me but i can see why you'd say that.

[ttylomglol]

I LOVE THE FOO FIGHTERS!

[kaymarie888]

I think the reason why you don't feel exhausted anymore is because this song wakes you up with the extreme static in the song... "WOAH! my ears!"

[AL3Xmotodude]

even if it does kinda sound like nirvana it's an awesome song either way

[MrSentia]

When I feel exhausted,I listen to this song,and for some strange reason my exhaustion fades away and I feel Alive Again.

[ZRodnessCOD4Life]

this is their first single, 16 years ago...

[jackno7daniels]

Great great album. Any jagoff that says it sounds like nirvana is stupid. The vocals, bass & guitar all sound different.

[RandomMan023]

Thats True. but it's Impossible to not see Nirvana's influence. When Kurt heard this song he wanted it to be on their next album.

[RebelThoughts]

Best Foo album ever!

[MrSentia]

Foo Sure :D

[dambi91]

nirvana's style - what's missing is kurt's voice only

[Virtue7]

one of their BEST songs..

so enigmatic

[aliarox7]

Apperantly likedloved this sonf he wanted nirvana to do it but he didnt want to ask Dave if he could change the lyrics.

[PullingTeeth1]

reminds me a bit of drone metal.

[Phoenixfan77]

Sounds like Heatmiser! The pace, rhythm and instrumental score. The chorus has a louder part however.

[lucyboo0702]

my second c-d i ever bought..

[gameiroH]

AWESOME!!!!!!

FOO FIGHTERS!!!!

[awiggins2010]

i call anything off this song 'david grohl' instead of foo fighters because he almost did the entire album by himself. This album is the closest thing to grunge out of all of their albums

[drummingwild]

he did play everypart of every song on this album except the intro riff to xstatic that was played by a dude from afghan wings!!

[awiggins2010]

@drummingwild

i know, i meant to say "album" where i meant to say "song", my mistake gave the wrong impression.

[AudreyArequipa]

foo fighters' best song for me! I love it! looking forward to play it on drum!

[RuudvanGOLL]

Kurt Cobain liked this song alot!

[BigPharao]

really? was kurt still alive when the very first foo fighters stuff was written? cool thing ;)

[RuudvanGOLL]

@BigPharao Dave said Kut liked Alone and easy target and Exhausted very much...he wanted to change the lyrics of Alone and easy target and some other stuff...imagine Kurts voice with that song!

priceless!

[ZephyrCinema]

A demo for this song was probably recorded at the last Nirvana session, when Dave/Krist waited for Kurt for 2 days ;) Also, Dave and Kurt had jammed together since '90, playing Dave's songs as well. Ever heard of "Marigold" ? Written by Dave in ca. 1990, Kurt liked it, and it was recorded in the In Utero sessions.... Just a bit of opening up here.- Sorry, :D

[jackbla1]

yeah, in kurt cobain's biography dave grohl had wrote foo fighters songs already. he was lead guitar and vocals, kurt cobain was drummer and backing vocals and kirst noslec (not spelt right) was bassist. he even wrote monkey wrench

[TheClique86]

u are either an idiot or a genius, fully depending on how sarcastic u meant your comment to be

[KillerInstinct2006]

This song was written before the foo fighters were formed. Dave Grohl released a solo album under a different name when Nirvana was still together. The pocket watch album.

[MadNessify]

I can understand why ! :D

[Flinh02]

the voice of dave is beautiful

[charryn21]

I ADORE this song!!! Its kind of haunting and dark, love it sooooooo much, has such happy memories for me!! x x <3

[kookookajewable]

i miss him so much

[derk2]

Great Song, LONG LIVE THE FOO!!!

[ibilizard]

i love this song, is a song of other planet, GREAT.

[Krondel]

this stuff is what i was looking for. Great song

[TeetsAreOn]

One of my favourite songs of all time.

[Guitarstring187]

I know what he feels im exhausted!! this song is great has a bit of a black metal feel to it or black metal stole he sound from him either way its true!!!

[subm12345]

best song in album

[FreakaZoidInatorTron]

This whole album is AWESOME =)

too bad its too awesome.......i cant find it anywhere

lol

[gwarvana]

you can try e-bay or amazon if you're having trouble finding the album.

[Shilo83]

While it may be true that jurt wanted to do this song with his own lyrics let me just tell u from a long time nirvanva'etc fan that this version is the best and congratulations.

[Shilo83]

Typos galore but you get the drift. Great song, congratulations, never forget Dave this is your song and not Kurt's. Nice song bro.

[VendPrekmurec]

this song war recorded already january 1994 in robert lang studio with kurt, they have recorded also you know you're right

[TheMongobongo]

nope

[noddy182]

gahhhh i can never find this albummm i want it sooo badd

[abebopmana]

This song reminds me of Flying Saucer Attack.

[Anorexorcist2371]

Suicide.

[philippeEmmanu]

just go and Eat your own Shit and Vomit!!!!

[SubliminalSubtitles]

All you motherfuckers are gonna pay, You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then you're all fucking next.

Love,

Jay and Silent Bob

[IdaSputum]

That's a LOT of shit to take in and shit out and take in again and shit out again. Probably involves a fair amount of patience too. But I bet you've got all the time in the world..

[palmpuma951]

definetely murder but it doesnt matter he's dead people so thats the end of it

[afronirvana]

Dave said in an interview that dave showed this song to kurt and kurt wanted to turn it into a nirvana song but with diff lyrics

[kamilloquai]

I didn't know that Kurt liked this song either.

[JuranWiesbaden]

foo!!

[lukiibiza]

para vos

[LivingSinner]

This songis wickecd!!!!!

[fooforofo]

foo!

[Rosii93]

one of my fav tracks from this album

[JerseyMcgee81]

your facts are all screwed up dave wrote this song made a demo and played it for kurt, kurt never actually told him he liked the song, dave heard through other people that he liked it and wanted to turn it into a nirvana song but with his (kurts) lyrics, of course it never happened because of kurts untimely deathmm but this song iss awesome ..

[KurdtKobain09]

No dave himself said in a interveiw he showed kurt and kurt liked it and wanted to make a nirvana song. They just never came around to it. i assume dave wasn't offended Lol

[drummer1002893]

not untimely death, MURDER

[kamilloquai]

NO, SUICIDE.

[pezdel1]

Murder. No doubt

[amentveddergossard]

Grow up he killed himself. If you can't handle the fact of death go and see someone. They can help.

[PHA1YLUR3]

He killed himself. Deal with it.

[lithium2370]

no..

[scottcobain27]

this is my best foos album

[newportgwentdragons]

my favourite track on a great album

[vccEXIT]

I think this album is most like Nirvana, it's got alot of the aspects Kurt put in his songs.

[robertziggy]

this is an awesome song. grohls best

[goonerjimmy30]

if this isnt a tip of the hat, god knows what is. god bless....x

[nghttrain]

i heard this first,of course,being a Nirvana fan..its till the best Foo yet

[nowheretoday]

this couldn't be a better ending song

[munkyguitar]

I agree with you it just blows me away. Dave is an amazing song writter

[Opalxoxo]

i actually love this song!

<3

[Bigpimpin10359]

wonder wat this wouldve sounded like with kurts lyrics

[dobby240]

I got into foo's through thier new stuff, but when i went waaay back and heard thier older songs then found out dave was in nirvana i was like, wow this bands got history. i wouldnt say theres a song they'v made that i dont like, the older stuffs got a grungey sort of nirvana feel and its a slow tempo but still quite heavy for what it is.

the newer stuff is clean polished recording studio of the 2000's style but what can you expect? one style can hardly survive on its own, had to mix it up abit

[hiitsmehi]

yeh mate i think ur totaly right.

[mikeylikesit10]

wow the EXACT same thing happened when i started getting into the foo fighters and i couldn't agree with you more

[dobby240]

Yeah i liked the history aspect to it more, it still really interests me what people go through just produce thier music. kurt cobain died, dave still came back produced mind blowing spine tingling songs that will burn him onto music history for a good reason.but its also nice to say that the foo's and dave masterd this style before mastering the next. such a talent that i wish i had, but theres still time

[SUPERCR3WsSoSick]

id say they there best song is the pretender, but i found their new albums arent as consistant in quality

[dobby240]

Yeah it doesnt seem like theres been alot of testing for the newer ones =/ seems like they just said yeah this is our tone now were gonna use it. although the pretender is a great song i cant just stick it down to one song to say whats best lol :) i love thier acoustic stuff more than the overdrive stuff more somtimes

[burton9873]

Theyve evolved to the band they are today through the work from the older cds. I listen to all of the albums all the time and I can hear some hints of the newer style in the recordings as early as the 1999 release of There Is Nothing Left To Lose. They have changed over the years, but quality has never been an issue. Dave is a genius and puts more work into one album than some bands do over a lifetime.

[RenchardBale]

this song is sooooo great...when I borrowed their album back in the days at our library, I constantly put this song on repeat. Guitar's got a really nice distorted tune of grunge.

[WeinSnoken]

Does anybody agree that this really sounds like a mix between Nirvana and later Foo Fighters music? I thought so, like it was stuck between Grohl's Nirvana-era, and Foo Fighters-era.

[PrincessCarnegie]

I Think The Foo's Are Going Back To Their Good Stuff Again I Think Thats Why It Sounds So Much Like The Nirvana-Era And Foo-Later-Era.... Its Still Good!!

[Hozz1102]

Use Capital Letters Much?

[zeppelincheetah]

most of the songs were originally recorded while nirvana was still a band. in their last studio session as a band kurt was absent from the sessions for the first couple of days so dave and krist recorded some of dave's songs. the first album is all dave - he played all of the instruments except for an extra guitar on x static.

[anarchic9]

don't read to much into, As a musician, and this is just me, I analyze like this while I'm with my band. Does the beat I'm playing go with the song?

Is my beat overshadowing other musicians at the wrong moments?

Does my beat fit with the song's feeling and general tempo. One of us plays a beat, or riff, and then we all just kind of build from there.

[dust2sday]

we all know this song is about rocking out and rocking and rolling man...just like dirk digglers demo man...its magic..

[MexicoRon17]

my fave foo fighters album...luv the fuzz...1CREDO, man i think you might be lookin in a little too deep, its just a song...relax, mellow out
