These guys would have been just another band back in the seventies and eighties. No offense but hardly that great. Paul McCartney's version is still far superior, much more focused and genuine. A lot of groups think overpowering you with guitar riffs carries the day. It doesn't.
But who wrote the song ? I'll give you a clue, he goes by many names, in fact hundreds perhaps thousands of names throughout history....Jack, Nick & Louis just to name a few
Band on the run is one of my favorite songs ever! (And nine teen hundred eighty five) I also really freaking love the Foo Fighters. This cover was amazing!!
The thing I like about the Foo Fighters is that they’re not rockstars. They are musicians. Rockstars care about being a celebrity and the fame. Musicians care about the art and the music. It’s not about them.
I like Paul's original, but I like this one too. it's not a matter of liking one more or less, just because this one is the patented Foo style on a classic of rock. but I actually like it better when Paul plays it live, 'cause like, it seems better executed than what it was on the original record. in fact, this is one of the songs I want to play when I form a band, and I don't care how electric it will be as long as I keep true enough to it.
LYRICS Stuck inside these four walls Sent inside forever Never seeing no one Nice again like you Mama you, mama you If I ever get out of here Thought of giving it all away To a registered charity All I need is a pint a day If I ever get outta here If we ever get outta of here Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash As we fell into the sun And the first one said to the second one there I hope you're having fun Band on the run, band on the run And the jailer man and sailor Sam Were searching every one For the band on the run Band on the run For the band on the run Band on the run Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh Seeing no one else had come And a bell was ringing in the village square For the rabbits on the run Band on the run Band on the run And the jailer man and sailor Sam Were searching every one For the band on the run Band on the run Yeah, the band on the run The band on the run Band on the run, hey Band on the run Well, the night was falling as the desert world Began to settle down In the town they're searching for us everywhere But we never will be found Band on the run Band on the run And the county judge who held a grudge Will search for evermore For the band on the run The band on the run Band on the run, yeah Band on the run, yeah
brilliant rendition.! my youthful days applauding.! smashing to the beat of your own drum - LOUDLY / ENERGETICALLY.! ~claire~ brisbane queensland OZ / down under ✌🏻🌏🇦🇺🤘🏻
This song was my favourite in 74 as a 10 year old and knocked Long cool woman in a black dress off my top slot. Loved The Hollies and Wings as a kid. My first two favourite bands with many more to come. I'd love to hear the Foo's do a cover of Long cool woman..... I bet it would be awesome.
They are very talented and could pull off anything. All along the watch tower, zombie and while my guitar gently weeps would be my requests. Obviously Pretender, Wheels, Hero, Times like these and Everlong, love it all. Miss Taylor and didn't even know him. Somebody to love
@@thesearchforproof518 So what? He wasn't saying that it wasn't a cover. The Foo Fighters put out plenty of awesome covers along with their original stuff. No need to be a douchebag about it.
Vai ver é gente que gosta mais da versão do Macca e não conseguem expressar isso de outra forma que não dando deslike. A versão ficou muito boa, mas, pessoalmente, acho a do Paul melhor.
I love Taylor... 1st time seeing these guys was without him... '98 Festival Hall Melbourne. Dave, you can do it. It won't be the same but you can do it. For all the people who have never seen you on-stage... For the love of it. If it feels good do it. If it doesn't, retire Foo Fighters.
@@AidanGiblin yeah, I dig Foos but this was mediocre at best. To be fair, it was kind of a perfect song to begin with. They did they're own FF style which is commendable I suppose but fell flat for me because the songs about dynamics.
And at the end of the song dave the janitor played by Dave G,,goes back to mopping the floors,,and the teens in this Disney tv show about highschool bands ,,go wow that old guy knows how to rock,, you hear a laugh track and cut to commercial......
one of the greatest rocks stars of all time doing a cover of a song by one of the greatest rock stars of all time

Dave grohl is great but he's nothing on McCartney
@@tommydavies9744 dave grohl is better for me an I'm from Liverpool
@@jackcunningham2404 better than who Paul Mccartney it doesn't matter where you are from that's not true hahahha get a grip lad
Hmm the first part of your statement is questionable. Very questionable indeed.
The latter half of the song really sounds like a Foo Fighters song. They made it their own.
+OmegaMapDesign Agreed! It's always good when a band makes a cover their own a bit
But who wrote the song ? I'll give you a clue, he goes by many names, in fact hundreds perhaps thousands of names throughout history....Jack, Nick & Louis just to name a few
Wow wow wow stop ✋ burn this and never talk about it again !!!
Agreed
Band on the run is one of my favorite songs ever! (And nine teen hundred eighty five) I also really freaking love the Foo Fighters. This cover was amazing!!
I loved this song as a 10 year old kid and I have every Foo's album. The Foo's covering this song was a musical wet dream. Freaking awesome.
Here because Live 105 played this today. Thank you radio, thank you.
This song needs to be put on Spotify 🙏
If this doesn’t get released on Spotify soon I’m going to riot
Is not even in apple music
It was originally covered on the Rqdio 1 Live Lounge about 14 years ago, no chance now.
Actually they had albums of the live covers. They are on Spotify you might find it on there.
Medium Rare isnt on any platforms unfortunately.
How was your riot?
The thing I like about the Foo Fighters is that they’re not rockstars. They are musicians. Rockstars care about being a celebrity and the fame. Musicians care about the art and the music. It’s not about them.
Methinks they are both!
Perfect blend of anger and melody!!!
An awesome cover for an awesome song
God bless sir Paul Mccartney for gave us many great songs
I like Paul's original, but I like this one too.
it's not a matter of liking one more or less, just because this one is the patented Foo style on a classic of rock. but I actually like it better when Paul plays it live, 'cause like, it seems better executed than what it was on the original record.

Hey bro did your dreams come true ?
Yeah Paul & Beatles was it
Middle part is the best. Needs to be longer.
Wow, this song is great Foo Fighterized!
This rocks, love it, always been my fave Wings (Paul McCartney) song, this really hits the spot and kicks arse! 💖
Ive heard this like 20 times and I really cried the first one, what a great cover!
this is awesome ran across it on accident im glad i did.
I hate Covers…. But I love you guys & you can do no wrong in my Eyes.
(within Reason)
Thanks for Covering My Hero!
R.I.P Taylor. 🙌
RIP Taylor Hawkins.....one of the greatest drummers of our time....
LYRICS
Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one
Nice again like you
Mama you, mama you
If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get outta here
If we ever get outta of here
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
I hope you're having fun
Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching every one
For the band on the run
Band on the run
For the band on the run
Band on the run
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching every one
For the band on the run
Band on the run
Yeah, the band on the run
The band on the run
Band on the run, hey
Band on the run
Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found
Band on the run
Band on the run
And the county judge who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run
The band on the run
Band on the run, yeah
Band on the run, yeah
Love this. The sound really captivates the way their sound has evolved, going from self titled to their more recent stuff around halfway through
brilliant rendition.!
my youthful days applauding.!
smashing

I think they can cover anything and make it their own. Long Cool Woman would be cool.
Love this cover rock on foo fighters
How good is this!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Quanta commozione nel vedere una delle canzoni più belle di Paul rifatta da Dave. Vi adoro ragazzi
Excellent tribute. Well executed!
what a cover !!! They improved the original version, magnificent
what a wonderful cover
I loved this song. But this Remake is even better. Well done gentlemen
Fooking awesome
A nice cover of a song by the band the Beatles could have been. Lovely stuff
Elaborate. What you do mean the band the Beatles could have been? Beatles far outsold them and have alot more hits
That’s a very great cover!
I also like McCartney's more, but this one cool too.
Wings more* paul was only one member
The Nerd Doomsday Paul wrote the song boi
The Nerd Doomsday Cept Paul wrote the song and, let’s be honest, he fucking carried that band do hard. It practically was just him.
Want this on iTunes...c'mon Apple!
Love Paul, love the foo, happy dayz...
You made a masterpiece of a masterpiece
Thats fuckin right and sounds soo punk too and better too..
@@carlostafoya847 i love both in their own respects. Awesome song, awesome cover
A great Cover of a perfect song. Great job Foo Fighters!! RIP Taylor Hawkins😪🙏
Even more reasons to love them even more
Now that's how you cover a great! .. Incredible 👌
One of my favourite songs.
Por dios cuánta perfección junta
This is Wings, Paul was just the singer and badass bass player. And writer.
Paul Boskovich facts
"just"
This is so sick
I am Amazed!
9 downs?, how can anyone dislike this?
It's the jailer man, Sailor Sam, the county judge. And 6 other jerks
@@lawnmowerman7They’re still searching forever more.
this is surprisingly good!
Love this version 😍

Queria entender como alguém da deslike nisso!!!

Guys we forgot to push the fader up.on the bass again...
Lars Ulrich
What’s the best way to get this single? Only thing I’ve seen is that it was sold on the Medium Rare vinyl. I’d rather have a digital copy.
I love Taylor... 1st time seeing these guys was without him... '98 Festival Hall Melbourne.
Dave, you can do it. It won't be the same but you can do it. For all the people who have never seen you on-stage... For the love of it. If it feels good do it. If it doesn't, retire Foo Fighters.
Paul makes everything better
This is better than the original. Foo Fighters pack a punch.
The original is way better

Just Class, Better than the original imho
Sorry Paul.
This is the best version of the song.
I dunno about that.
Nice
