Dave Grohl - Throwing Needles

[robertziggy]

1 person had needles thrown at them

[hfg23thewest]

I like his writing style more than kurt's and I love Nirvana

[NotableJInx2]

Dude this is pure songwriting genius

[Sneatio]

Dave should have stayed playing the drumms.His voice is something bettween vomit an cheese.

R.I.P. Kurt

[Blaze1289]

@Sneatio Well, I like cheese, so I guess that's a good thing.

[Sneatio]

@Blaze1289

yes, also cheese can be a good thing!

[3bestbuy]

This song is the best song never heard

[AdoriTraceur]

this sounds perturbing... rare :S

[athroughme]

 This song becomes amazing at 2:01.

[Eldererr]

Is Dave doubling his vocals?Was Kurt aware of this Pocketwatch thing?

[Eldererr]

Is Dave doubling his vocals?

[alexander371zxd]

grohl rock!!!!

[patronRV5]

he sounds almost as mad as Husker Du,in fact all of his music sounds

like Husker du.

[faith8thot]

Where can I get gp5 tabs of this song ?

[cuauh05]

@faith8thot mmm its a rare song, so I don't know if you will find gp5 tabs...

[JohnnyMac496]

can't create a gp5 for you... but not a real hard one to figure out after the first 2 chords which are somewhat different. 31xxxx 01xxxx then 33xxxx in between the 2 chords after the intro.

[rice090]

The riff sorta' sounds like the one from All My Life. Awesome song.

[kurtbibdou]

Dave :)

[cacbice]

How CUTE is he????

[imamissyou1]

super cute

[ZzDaVioNzZ]

what words says dave when it screams " THE END" .. :S i dont understand it ...

K es lo k dice en la parte donde grita " the end" lo eh buscado pero no lo encuentro.. alguien sabe??

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

Ohhhh shit,.......... my bad, that's John Bonham's eek i screwed up

[jdjc79]

@PhillipThunderGrunge It's no secret that Dave absolutely worships John Bonham, just like most of us mere mortal rock drummers do!

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

Hmmmm.....at 1m21s dave's hat.... Isn't John Paul Jones' symbol? and Isn't he working with John P. in Them Crooked Vultures with Josh Homme? Coincidences Anyone?

[StMachreth]

so i believe.. exciting times!

[birdy47]

well its Led Zeppelin's simbol and no not really a coincidence. Ive got one, Led Zeppelin is a popular band.

[vigothe]

The first song from the dave grohl's demos was writed and played with Nirvana. He says what the other bands members helps to him to make up the songs. Guess who is the voice of the chorus ...

[yungdtownsolja2]

is that kurt?

[yoyoyospaghettio]

okay sorry to bring this back up but please show me evidence

[AJBoutilier]

at 2:01 is the most amazing part of the song. the way he screams over that riff amazing blows my mind of how amazing dave was back in the 90s

[0371998]

yeah I love it...and i have all this Cd since 8 years..i'm adddict! Good like the water! M.GroHL and M. Cobain are fucking pure for me! thx Buddhy

[cattleforslaughter]

I want the late! pocketwatch so bad!!!

[thelichhero]

i got it on mp3 =D

[AcePepsiSlayer]

can you send it?

[astrozombie777]

this is amazing.

<3<3<3

dave grohl is my hero man.

seriously.

[jayamy94grohl]

The firstt Pic looks so AWSUM!!!!!!!!!!!

It´s one of my fav Pics of him,really cool

[DieSchwartzmann]

I'm sure somebody may have already commented on this, but the riff from this sounds a lot like All My Life. Great that he would use his classic material for his later stuff.

And this is awesome, i could easily see Nirvana or the Foo Fighters recording this.

[iPodRockerr]

too bad that nirvana aint around no more :( but i like the foo fighters better anyways

poor kurt cobain

[rockstar3600]

Oh man. I love Dave Grohl. He's my hero. I really like this song.

[yoyoyospaghettio]

hey you guys this song is bad ass

[cozzaspee]

with the dave grohl 'late' does the late stand for some kind of alias or is it just coz its his later stuff?

anyway i think pocketwatch should be released. the music is crazy cool.

[RadicalStump]

"Late!" was his alias. He always wanted to have band named "Late" to say on the concert "Hello, we are Late!".

[OldFooFan]

Pocketwatch *was* released, years ago on Simple Machines Records as a cassette. "Late" was the name of the "band" Dave chose for the album.

The album went out of print in the late 90s. Jenny Toomey of Simple Machines, unable to keep up with orders and with her cassette copy deteriorating, asked Dave if she could rerelease it on CD. His answer was no, and so the album went out of print.

[cozzaspee]

thanks for the info. would you have any ideas on the best way for me to get hold of the cassette?

[OldFooFan]

It pops up on ebay now and then. Be warned, though, that any CD copies are bootlegs, and there are a ton of them.

[Keebrin]

00:44

What song on the MTV Unplugged DVD was that when Dave played guitar?

[cuauh05]

it was "jesus dont want me for a sunbeam", Dave played the bass

[syracuse9898]

becase krist was playing the acordian (sp??)

[dkityy]

jesus don't want me for a sunbeam

[dkityy]

how many have the pocket watch demo with the live concert after the demos where nate mandael had too pee....?

[Keebrin]

Are you obsest with people peeing? Search it up.

[dkityy]

maybe if you had the pocket watch version i have you would understand the joke...what rhymes with nate???

[Keebrin]

Bate rhymes with Nate

[x0FOOxFIGHTER0x]

hahaha it does too

wicked cooool

[fabulousfishy]

ughh.

i cannot find these songs.

i only have like two.

i want to find where i can find of copy of "Milk".

[hippiesofthesixties]

[fabulousfishy]

haha.

i know.

the page is one of my friends on myspace though.

and ive tried downloading them from there!

but some reason it wont work..

oh well.

:[

[Chrotisofus]

Great. Really great.

[Notsovanilla]

I think art of the charm of Pocketwatch is that Dave's vocals are so under developped and self conscious. Re-recording them as Foo's would completely change the dynamic of alot of the songs. I love the foos but I dont think everyhting Dave does needs to be about a band.

[cuauh05]

thats right, and i'm sure that dave thinks the same, if this stuff is recorded again, no matter how good they do it, it will never be that's the greatness of Pocketwatch, the songs are awesome, and is so hard to find it... Only the true fans of foo fighters know about pocketwatch, and if this stuff is re-recorded it will lost that greatness.....

[toe2dakne]

From a Dave Grohl book

On Pocketwatch " I listen to it - even now at this point of definite saturation - I still have to think it's a great record. It has depth and vulnerability and crunch that you don't find on the Foo Fighters record"

With the master tape now degenerated beyond repair, Pocketwatch has gone out of print forever. However there has been talks about remastering onto CD. Eventually Grohl decided that it wasn't faithful to the original ethos behind the collection.

[veelgroen]

@cuauh05 well im not a true fan of foo fighters

i just love dave grohl and found this great music

[stonescourt3]

agreed...dave seemed to be very self-conscious up until his mega success with the foo. and also agreed that insecurity is what makes it a good tune. i think foos' debut effort speaks the same way imho

[apl132]

Man I wish Foo Fighters would take some of these songs and re-record them. The sound quality really hurts the songs and some of them would probably be among my favorite Foo songs if they re-recorded them.

[MacKay1812]

They re-recorded Friend of a Friend which was on the Pocket Watch tape. The re-recorded version is on CD2 of the In Your Honor album.

[apl132]

I know. That happens to be the one song I don't really like.

[jager307]

gawd i hate it when people say they only like hard out rock piano and acoustic are fucking kool

its just stupid you either like Daves music or you dont

[JordanDowie14]

the best song on the Late! (Pockwetwatch) album!

[plattinum1230]

i want all the songsfrom pocketwatch really bad

[kurtsgrrl]

i think what everyone is forgetting is that the Foo are getting older and maybe don't want to scream all the time..or rock hard all the time..i love their acoustic stuff, i think it actually shows alot more talent from them, GO FOO!!!!!

[cuauh05]

yeah, i think that too, but I dont know if I really like the piano stuff...

[BPhire]

Any real fan of Dave Grohl can see that if he created his OWN music and not have the input of ANYONE else, things would have been wayyy different and a lot more spunk in the music.

End of story.

[HailstormHoward]

yeah fuckin right, burn your piano and accoustic dave.

[MrRomer0]

lol, i like the acustic, but not the piano

[lonewolf2379]

im glad to hear some people actually agree with me.....go back to this dave and leave the piano and accoustic guitar down please

[everlong754]

thanks for posting these!

[EccentricRichard]

Fucking awesome... Dave should have been writing Nirvana's songs, not some over-rated junkie... Very dark, yet kind of uplifting... such a shame that it took so long for this talent to be revealed... they should do a major release of the Pocketwatch tape, or at least stick it on a second disc of, I dunno, a 15th anniversary edition of the 1st Foos album?

[starsweet4]

have you heard any recent foo fighters lately? dave's OLD stuff is clearly good, but of late he has taken a uh... different (in my opinion COMMERCIAL) direction with the foo fighters. he doesn't even play songs from the debut foo fighters album anymore so i doubt he'd want to release this.

[EccentricRichard]

I know he's taken a different direction. I suspect having been to the Led Zep gig on Monday a week back, the next Foos album will be a bit more metal... mind you, even if it's fairly radio-friendly, you can't pretend that The Pretender isn't a fucking good song... nor Let It Die. Admittedly, I'd love to hear Foos songs sounding like this, too.

[starsweet4]

if they really did go back to their metal/punk roots that would be good, more to my taste and more similar to their older stuff.. oh and i don't really like the pretender, but i don't like most of the stuff i hear on the radio (since the year 2000), the 90s were great though

[EccentricRichard]

However, as for your assertion re the first Foos record, This Is A Call has been a live staple like, forever, and Wattershed has recently been resurrected...

[starsweet4]

i guess i was going by his interviews and youtube comments where i've read that he doesn't play the old stuff.. but at least he plays this is a call.. now if he would play the others i would get off my soapbox :D

[EccentricRichard]

Like I said, Wattershed has made a return... I think quite a bit of that record gets played! I think he may also have brought back Big Me, which got retired after he got sick of being pelted with Mentos whenever he played it (watch the BM vid and you'll see what I mean).

[ndrummerc]

heck, they've played Weenie Beenie and Alone + Easy Target a time or two. What I really wanna see is Oh, George and Good Grief come back.

[EccentricRichard]

Dave says he really doesn't like Oh, George, that it's his least favourite of all Foo Fighters songs... Good Grief would be good, though!

[fabulousfishy]

i freakin love this song. i wish i were able to download these pocketwatch songs but i dont have many b/c not many ppl have heard of it...
