***** He's a huge LZ fan. He does it all slow and dragged out because he tries to rpove you can NEVER properly remake this song. the Shhh and guitar dragging is all for comedy.
Omg so many people are missing the point here. This was completely tongue in cheek. Dave grohls biggest influence is zeppelin. A salute to dave and taylor for a great lighthearted performance. Who cares the lyrics were wrong. This really is very funny and I've watched it loads of times.
"The Foo Fighters did a mock cover of this song, and their version was to say that nobody should try to cover the song because they will screw it up" hahaha Well done Dave.
You two need to watch Heart's cover with Jason Bonham. They did it in front of Zeppelin who was being honored at the Kennedy Center. Paige said it is the band that should cover the song and Plant said it was amazing and it brought him to tears it was so good. They got a standing ovaition
I gotta say, taylor hawkins made that simple drum set sound so good, proves that you don't need 100+ toms, snares, bass, etc., to make your drumming sound good, it's all in the drummer.
Enough with the " this is so disrespectful " comments. Dave Grohl is a talented artist and was just having fun playing this song. It was a joke. He was not disrespecting Led Zeppelin.
holy shit like fifty people comment saying 'cant believe they disrespect led zeppelin like this' they are huge fans of led zeppelin they are a huge influence and pretty sure daves pretty good friends with jimmy page,this isnt a piss take of the song its taking the piss out of all the people you get in guitar shops every day picking up a test guitar and playing stairway really badly
This video was one of the first I thought of when I heard the news about Taylor. He and Dave had such chemistry and such a strong sense of humor. They also had a deep reverence for classic rock and generally all musical genres which had come before them. This is such a fucking bummer, man. 😔💔
tabs for the solo: "bwuaaaww da da da da da da din din din, buaw de de duewww duew da din din dee de da dee dee dee dee deee buwa de dee de de be duaw TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOL WEEEEEEEEEE"
This was fun and showmanship. Dave Grohl knows how to show off his talents while maintaining his image as that guy we all knew back in college that could rock it out just as hard in your living room. I heard he sends open letters to his fav bands to see if he can play backup drums if they ever want him. He works Willie Nelson hard ... luv it! And they got away with covering Zeppelin ... oh ya ... that drummer killed it!
A friend and I used to rewatch this over and over when we were teens starting our own band with our jaws on the floor trying to mimic Taylor's fills here. How he was able to cop everything Bonham did, note for note , while adding some other flourishes of his own on nothing but a kick, snare, hi hat & crash/ride with blasticks (acoustic drum sticks) as opposed to using a full kit w/ regular sticks is just beyond bad ass . . . no doubt in my mind he's one of the greatest to ever do it
He's just having fun with it. I assure you, that you'll have a hard time finding a bigger Zeppelin fan than Dave. He even played with Page and Jones during a Foo Fighters concert, furthermore, he's in a band with John Paul Jones...
Veo que no entendéis nada. 1º El grupo favorito de Dave Grohl es Led Zeppelin. Tiene, incluso, tatuados los cuatro símbolos. 2º Conoce la canción entera a la perfección, está de broma. 3º Ese hombre ha tocado con Jimmy Page y con John Paul Jones. Ni falta de respeto ni nada. Se ve a kilómetros que está bromeando cuando hace como que no sabe la letra para involucrar al público. Él mismo es incapaz de contener la risa por momentos, y Hawkins se está partiendo por detrás. Si no sabéis de lo que habláis, no digáis nada, mucho menos insultar o acusar de falta de respeto a un hombre que siente tal grado de admiración por los creadores de la canción.
Cara, estive presente no show de Curitiba, e começaram a tocar Stairway to heaven, uma das minhas músicas favoritas, pois a relaciono SEMPRE a minha vó. Eu chorei feito um bebê, eu realmente não esperava, meu corpo inteiro ficou arrepiado, e ouso dizer que foi um dos momentos mais preciosos da minha vida.
Can’t imagine how much this song got overplayed when zeppelin first released it. An overlooked overplayed treasure. Still magic. Grohl was smart to know changing the rhythm/speed from the commercial version keeps it feeling fresh
This video needs to be taken down. I find it offensive that they seem to not even know the song! I'm not bashing on the Foo Fighter's because I like them as well. Just saying......
Dave has been chewing that gum since 1986.
gsahrens yeah totally gum
ua-cam.com/video/yqiCLgoBFbk/v-deo.html
That's not inaccurate
Legend has it the gum became sentient and is now writing its autobiography "Chewie'
This pisstake was still better than 99% of the covers out there.
***** He's a huge LZ fan. He does it all slow and dragged out because he tries to rpove you can NEVER properly remake this song. the Shhh and guitar dragging is all for comedy.
Blind Melon and the new Alice in Chains did really good ones, the Melon one is super killer, Hoon is a very underrated vocalist.
+Montana Puckett where can I hear the blind melon one
+tSp289 lol yes :-D !!!! :-D
PS: Google sux!
supertyphone wtf i posted a link to it a few weeks ago now its gone. hopefully you see this it's Blind Melon - Out on the Tiles, and AIC - Kashmir
I say this as an enormous Led Zeppelin fan - this was beautiful. I love their playfulness and joy. RIP Taylor.

more like gum in cheek, amirite
I laughed, and that's all that matters, that I laughed.
LoL people who really think he doesn't know the words to this song.
So, TONGUE IN CHEEK!! 😄😄😄😄
"The Foo Fighters did a mock cover of this song, and their version was to say that nobody should try to cover the song because they will screw it up" hahaha Well done Dave.
Unless you’re Heart
He did this as a joke to make a point never to cover this song. Bonham is one of his biggest influences so he has all respect for Led Zeppelin
ofc you should never, nobody can top led, not even compete duh
You two need to watch Heart's cover with Jason Bonham. They did it in front of Zeppelin who was being honored at the Kennedy Center. Paige said it is the band that should cover the song and Plant said it was amazing and it brought him to tears it was so good. They got a standing ovaition
best guitar solo ever 3:40 - 4:03
😂😂😂
+Davin Assidiq Trilaksono
Jack Black's better...
Creative for sure!
But the best solo ever, IMO, is Page doing Stairway To Heaven on The Song Remains The Same tour. Beautiful feeling!
fuck yes 😂
Omg TSRTS Solo was the best solo i' ve ever listened
Freaking nailed that solo XD
ted ritola I hope you know it was a joke performance lol
@gagestens i dont think you should tell people they might have missed a joke, as you simultaneously miss a very clear and obvious joke
I LOST my shit at the solo lmfao
SAME
I sincerely hope you guys find your shit.... Its terrible when that happens.
That solo, was awesome !
Admit it we've all done a "Doop Doop Doop" version of Stairway's solo
wen i showed my dad this he was gonna do it for him but he started doing it and my dad lost it
I gotta say, taylor hawkins made that simple drum set sound so good, proves that you don't need 100+ toms, snares, bass, etc., to make your drumming sound good, it's all in the drummer.

the singer kinda looks like the drummer from nirvana
He is the drummer from nirvana
no i dont think so the drummer from nirvana looks younger
Ssamell123 you obviously dont get sarcasm/the joke.
lol
epic conversation XD
He should do a serious version, he would kill it
That's the porpouse of this! To do a cover of stairway requires more than a guitar and voice it needs soul and that is not for everybody 👍🤣
The fucking solo is so fucking awesome.
4:10 best part!!! Dave is such an underrated singer!!
+TheCryptCrusader ,,fan boy ,,,lol........
4:20 is fantastic too
@@iiqspat2629 the time stamp is perfect
He just scream xd
@@TechnoArgsyeah but he's screaming the right way
holy shit like fifty people comment saying 'cant believe they disrespect led zeppelin like this' they are huge fans of led zeppelin they are a huge influence and pretty sure daves pretty good friends with jimmy page,this isnt a piss take of the song its taking the piss out of all the people you get in guitar shops every day picking up a test guitar and playing stairway really badly
I think led zeppelin would have loved this. I mean, they even fucking played with half of them in 2015
2:44 If the drummer from Nirvana tells you 'not yet' you just obey ^^
of course that was a joke :P
It's funny how his immaginary guitar sounds better that lil Wayne's 😂😂
Marko Menard lmfao good one
I hope you guys realize that they did this as a joke cover. They did it to warn off other people of trying to cover it
But the Dolly Parton version makes you immune to Coronavirus.
This video was one of the first I thought of when I heard the news about Taylor. He and Dave had such chemistry and such a strong sense of humor. They also had a deep reverence for classic rock and generally all musical genres which had come before them. This is such a fucking bummer, man. 😔💔
This cover has replaced the original for me. You haven't properly experienced Stairway until you've heard Dave sing it with chewing gum in his mouth.
tabs for the solo:
"bwuaaaww da da da da da da din din din, buaw de de duewww duew da din din dee de da dee dee dee dee deee buwa de dee de de be duaw TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOL WEEEEEEEEEE"
This is cool because every guitar player has done this with his buddies at least once. These guys just did it live. This is real rock n roll!!!!!
lol 3:41 - 4:06 solo was fucking awesome.
Dave's solo is probably better than Jimmy Page's. If Jimmy Page had to sing it.
Stéphane Pierrejeu I love the fact that to this day Jimmy denies being able to sing at all when we know he can or at least he could in the past :)
3:48 I lost it at his "Diloolilooollololdilollilo........" xD
Brilliant! I love Dave he can do no wrong in my book, plus he knows things shouldnt be taken to serious and I love that.
He nailed that solo.
Audience: IT'S A SPRING CLEAN FOR THE MAY QUEEN
Who still watching this at 2019?
Farhan Zzz from malaysia 🇲🇾

So?
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever watched
One of my all time favourite youtube videos, brilliant!!
Literally the only cover I love

OMG I have the worst stage fright and I really needed to see this! Made me laugh and gave me goosebumps at the same time.
Não é à toa, que Foo Fighters, é uma das grandes bandas contemporânea. Tem na raiz, a essência do Led Zeppelin...
A friend and I used to rewatch this over and over when we were teens starting our own band with our jaws on the floor trying to mimic Taylor's fills here. How he was able to cop everything Bonham did, note for note , while adding some other flourishes of his own on nothing but a kick, snare, hi hat & crash/ride with blasticks (acoustic drum sticks) as opposed to using a full kit w/ regular sticks is just beyond bad ass . . . no doubt in my mind he's one of the greatest to ever do it
This is absolutely brilliant! The solo was really spot on.
Amazing dude.
Taylor was waiting like "man, speed this up I wanna get to the fun part already"
"Whats the next line..?"
"DIIIICK!!!"
I've been listening to this cover since I was a kid and still adore them. Awesome as ever :)
He's just having fun with it. I assure you, that you'll have a hard time finding a bigger Zeppelin fan than Dave. He even played with Page and Jones during a Foo Fighters concert, furthermore, he's in a band with John Paul Jones...
What's the next line ? HAUEHAUEHAUHUA
God damn, I STILL FUCKING LOVE HIM!!!
There's a feeling I get, when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving.
that solo was sick
this is foo at its finest. just a damn jam session having fun !!!

Se te olvido el punto numero cuatro que explicaria ademas los otros.
4° El estaba borracho hasta el culo.
Loco pero cierto, hay gente que no se da cuenta que Dave está bromeando, gracias por aclararlo jajajaja!
todos los que amamos a los Zeppelin sabemos que está canción es genial no importa como la intérpreten es imposible que suene mal
I didn't know Adam sandler was the singer of the foo fighters
Cole Eichhorn LMFAOOOOO I WAS THINKING THE EXACT THING
Am I the only one out there who doesn't thinks that Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters doesn't look like Dave Grohl from NIRVANA?
+Eduards Maksimovs He actually looks different from when he was in Nirvana.
That meme is now over 20 years old bruh
Best solo of all time
dat solo xD

this was the best cover I've seen in my whole life.
The coolest dud in music and the best complete rock star out there.
Negative creep!
UA-cam Rebel the fuck?
Sophie Burrows its an nirvana song its a reference
oh sorry :') didn't know the song, my apologies!!
sorry, All Apologies...
Nailed that guitar solo 👍🏼
Dave is awesome and very funny,Dave rock !
I know this is not a real performance, but somehow I find myself listening to this over and over again. Sounds great and it's kinda funny...
anyone have the guitar solo tabs?? haahahah
Fala SemenukValo just wing it lol
hahahahahaa :D
Rest in Peace Taylor Hawkins 02/17/1972-03/25/2022.. A solid drummer
P/s: I wrote this comment after 12hrs of his death news.
Beautiful music, beautiful personal and also a beautiful entertainer. This dudes amazing :)
This always makes me happy
This is why I love save grohl
Lmao..
Can't stop laughing with this one.
Good job dave xD
I honestly got this version stuck in my head and ie listened to it fourth times
love the drums, and everything ! great!
This is hilarious. I love the Foo Fighters
Joke or not I love his voice, he's an amazing singer, shares so much emotion. Even if he is joking ;)
best guitar solo ever covered
Can’t imagine how much this song got overplayed when zeppelin first released it. An overlooked overplayed treasure. Still magic. Grohl was smart to know changing the rhythm/speed from the commercial version keeps it feeling fresh
It's Dave fucking Grohl. There's no fucking way he doesn't know this song...for those of you busting balls rn.
I love Zeppelin. I love the Foo Fighters. And this video made me laugh so hard. His interpretation of the lyrics and that solo blew my mind.
Ha he hi ho hoo. Total genius.
I aspire to be kings like these men. Rocked the whole place without even trying.
I hope Taylor climbed that stairway 🙏🏼
best guitar solo ever!!
love the show
best cover of this song!!!
the best version ever!
some genius in the crowd "when she gets there"
This is Hysterical...
sweet mercy. I adore that man.
spinal tap lives...
3:40
First thoughts: Damn, what is this crap?
🤣🤣🤣 cracked me up at 3:41. Foos are complete legends as are Led Zeppelin. There is no disrespect here
Taylor in the background
This video needs to be taken down. I find it offensive that they seem to not even know the song! I'm not bashing on the Foo Fighter's because I like them as well. Just saying......
you obviously don't get it..
Things aren't taken down because someone is offended by them. I can't control what someone is or isn't offended by.
amazing cover by Ff led zeppelin are proud of them
Perfect!
I always love this.
RIP Taylor.
We love you.
Gotta love this!
The best solo i've ever heard.
The best song in the world...with the best artist...
i loved that guitar solo
I can't play that solo if my life depended on it.... Dave gave me a great idea... And that cooky monster scream for the finale is pretty cool too 😎
incredible
Taylor's drumming is completely overlooked in this video!
I love this!
