@@Scoots1994 Truth. Not every band needs to be heard live, but Grohl is one of those performers who just have to be seen live. I've yet to have the chance, but I'll be here when the Foos comes around.
It’s pretty interesting. Not a particularly complicated drum part but there’s just something uniquely original/Nirvana about the way Dave plays it. Instantly recognizable.
I love watching Dave completely relive his youth in this video. His eyes behind his hair, just absolutely demolishing the drums. I love watching this video and I love Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Rock on Dave.
That feeling in the middle of it, Dave reached into a early-Dave Nirvana soul and started bashing as he used to do it. He was living his days in this fucking awesome drumming and right at the end, his realization to live in present was surreal.
He’s good but he’s definitely no Portnoy nor was he ever on a level with Peart…who is considered one of the Top 2 of All Time. He’s simply a really good drummer.
@@vaguelymindedbsthat’s just cuz they grew up in a different time people between early late 90s and early 2000s prolly at some point of rush which for that generation was like 30 years ago but kids now are listening to nirvana which is thirty years ago from their generation so it don’t matter who’s the popular band now cuz Neil peart left a legacy with rush
I bet no one saw it: 2:20-2:24 Dave is playing so hard a massive wood chip came off the stick that's how you know he played with all intensity. Nirvana is life.
Someone once said in the comments somewhere in this video before that “this isn’t Dave growl from foo fighters playing this tribute it was a dear friend of Kurt’s.”
He was 52years old, yet he still had the Midas touch - In an interview, he said his influences for this particular drum beat back in 1991 were from the disco and funk groups like Cameo, Chic and The Gap Band song "Early in the Morning" - I'll download the single - If the band permit it.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this and it still amazes me. You can see the moment Dave switches into muscle memory, the years just fall away and we all get lost with him in the past. There’s no telling what’s going through his mind hearing Kurt’s voice together with a receptive, live audience again as he plays the song that turned his band of misfits into the reluctant voice of a generation.
I love it so much! The first time I cried. I was never able to enjoy Nirvana again- until I saw this. It ripped a 30 year old band aid- and I recovered the ability to just enjoy the epic uncharted universe that was birthed from this band and Seattle in the late 80- early 90s.
Is the internet in agreement that this is best ever and will always be the the best ever drum solo live for this song? Damn it’s so good and passionate
Speechless- at first he was just playing the drums. But by the end, you could feel his heart and soul through those drums. He is by far the best rock musician alive right now.
I'm exhausted just from watching it and I'm not the one drumming! Imagine bringing this type of energy for a whole concert for 2 hours!! Rock on, Dave! 🕺🪩
For me personally Dave Grohl is still the best drummer maybe not technically the best but he always drummed with so much feel to it, just put his heart and soul into it and it just shows and gives me shivers.
I am the same, i was a teenager when nirvana smashed into the world like an asteroid. Dave Grohls drumming is seared into my brain like a rosetta stone, anytime i hear him behind the drums i get extremely pumped up
@@Kaiser333333 I fully understand what you are saying, that is why we got to appreciate moments like in this video because unfortunately he doesn't get behind the drums so often anymore.
I love this! First the glance to the side as if to say: - Do I have to do this old song again... - Then proceeds to beat the shit out of the drums...Amazing energy!❤
Can’t even imagine how he felt playing this again in front of a lot of people, this song was the soundtrack to my teen years. This song makes me so happy it makes me wanna cry of joy sometimes.
Dave is the Count Dooku of drummers. Absolute master who switched sides out of seeming necessity, but still always had a bit of his old self left inside of him.
The catharsis in this performance is so palpable, you could pluck it out of the air. You can see this is a form of healing he's avoided for so long. Glad he's gotten past it and can celebrate Kurt's time with him. Love ya, Dave. ❤
So on point and crisp! Its like his body is tubed to play it perfectly and hes just watching himself! A true master class at drums from one of the best to pick up the sticks!
Can we all just PLEASE stop calling anyone or anything, “underrated?” I always hope that someone has a better, more original comment that doesn’t include overused adjectives.
You mean, other than being considered one of the best drummers in the world? You call that "underrated", or did you just feel like you had to use a buzzword in order to get "thumbs up" based on which you could validate your existence?
GeeeeeZ!!!! This gives me CHILLS!!!! I was soooo young when this came out.... Thank you to my DaD for teaching me to be DIVERSE in EVERYTHING in life!!! GREATNESS all over again!!!! So glad to have been alive during such an AWESOME error of music and PURE TALENT!!!!
Kurt was a great talent, and he had a beautiful soul to match that was the face of Generation X - We lost a significant figure and much needed in today's mad, mad world - RIP Kurt. 🕊🪔
I am 56 and was also moved to tears. I have been listening to Nirvana again now, like Dave made it OK to celebrate the music again- without feeling tormented over Curt’s death. Thank You Dave for ripping off the band aid and giving me back the years I miss. Slam dancing Mosh Pits Stage Diving Crowd Surfing No cameras or cell phones to capture the level of headbanging!!
No, i'm sorry but it's Keith Moon from "The Who" the best drummer and i liiikkkke Dave Grohl but himsel would tell u i'm right.... Go watch "who are you" clip video by "the Who" Keith is dead ,overdose, aged 32, in 78 . Music's specialists and Rock fans are ok on this point....
I cried so much my god. It’s such a powerful drummer, a powerful song, a powerful band. When I heard Kurt’s voice I just cried my life :,) Give him back to us ! Give him back to Dave, Krist, Courtney, his daughter and his family !
Not a huge Nirvana fan. Definitely not a Dave Grohl fan. But this video which I saw as a clip on Facebook is amazing. Seeing that man go somewhere else like that to such an important time in his life and where you can only imagine his mind goes throughout the song. Amazing. I'll always come back and watch this. I love it.
I first started listening to Rock music in January. I was addicted to Nirvana...especially this song. So much so is started Drum Lessons and im loving it.

Even after 30 years dave still knows it all
Very impressive. David was such a great drummer
not really that hard, or what?
I think once you played it about 10.000 times, it sticks forever 😄
Well, he created it
he wrote the damn thing :D
I never realized how powerful Dave is as a drummer until seeing this. The man is a machine
He blew them away the first time they heard him. He's a monster.
He's the fucking Nirvana's drummer...what did you expect ?? 😍
@@sofiagomes3844 Hard to tell from a studio recording with mixing, microphones, live/dead rooms, compression, effects etc.
He is epic. and he does some other band stuff too.
@@Scoots1994 Truth. Not every band needs to be heard live, but Grohl is one of those performers who just have to be seen live. I've yet to have the chance, but I'll be here when the Foos comes around.
Imagine what Dave is feeling when Kurt starts to sing
😢
Bro…
He said that he feels sad when he here’s him he also said he would never sing any of Kurt’s song’s because it dont feel right singing his songs
😢
Eso si pobrecito
No one can play it like him, distinctly behind the beat. A great masterpiece of simple yet powerful drumming.
💯 agree. Other just play the drums, he plays it with emotion and power
It’s pretty interesting. Not a particularly complicated drum part but there’s just something uniquely original/Nirvana about the way Dave plays it. Instantly recognizable.
@@PrecursorLegendmaybe 'cause he's self- taught
@@raimundo7469 maybe cause it's his song/drum-part
Very true.
Goose bumps thinking about Kurt's spirit that must still be around. Incredible tribute from Dave, he nailed it. It has to be very emotional for him.
He's still vibing with the excitement of Nirvana. The greatest drummer for real.
hi
I love watching Dave completely relive his youth in this video. His eyes behind his hair, just absolutely demolishing the drums. I love watching this video and I love Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Rock on Dave.
This comment ❤
I do, too. Watching Dave crush those drums sure brings back memories. He hasn't lost a beat. 🙂👍
His the goat always will be ❤
It's so refreshing to see that hes still got the Nirvana spirit in him after all this time.
Some might say the teen spirit…
I would love to have seen how NIRVANA would've evolved had Kurt lived...
Something like that never dies
@trentcunningham5627 sadly I don't know if they would've survived the 90s 😢
it never left i believe
i love how you can see the euphoria of playing nirvana again just after he starts drumming, then he lets his hair fall and just really gets into it
Totally
Yes!
He is returning to past
let's his hair fall, really
P😊
Grown ass man reaching back to connect with and respect his younger self. A beautiful thing. Happy fathers day to Dave.
the way he beats the shit out of that snare is everything
yes
Rock on Dave he zoned out 2-3 minutes in
I don't wanna know how many snare heads he changed
True ❤that❤
30 years older; the same energy. Amazing
That feeling in the middle of it,
Dave reached into a early-Dave Nirvana soul and started bashing as he used to do it. He was living his days in this fucking awesome drumming and right at the end, his realization to live in present was surreal.
The fact is, this was an era defining song. This song brought grunge and the Seattle scene to the nation. This song is historic.
Hands down the greatest drummer and has been for a long time
It's amazing that Foo Fighters had two of the best drummers in the world. RIP Taylor Hawkins💞
He’s good but he’s definitely no Portnoy nor was he ever on a level with Peart…who is considered one of the Top 2 of All Time.
He’s simply a really good drummer.
@@GNXXRAYi think the fact kids to this day listen to nirvana and not the top 2 of all time should give you more perspective.
John bohnam!
@@vaguelymindedbsthat’s just cuz they grew up in a different time people between early late 90s and early 2000s prolly at some point of rush which for that generation was like 30 years ago but kids now are listening to nirvana which is thirty years ago from their generation so it don’t matter who’s the popular band now cuz Neil peart left a legacy with rush
Genius on drums
I bet no one saw it: 2:20-2:24
Dave is playing so hard a massive wood chip came off the stick
that's how you know he played with all intensity.
Nirvana is life.
I saw it and thought it was a bead of sweat, but looking back it's def too thick to be sweat. Mf really let it out
I'm so happy that Dave still smells that teens spirit.
Even after all these years, Dave never misses a beat. Incredible.
Never realized how fire that beat was😮
Someone once said in the comments somewhere in this video before that “this isn’t Dave growl from foo fighters playing this tribute it was a dear friend of Kurt’s.”
"This isn't Dave Grohl, front man of Foo Fighters. This is Dave Grohl, drummer of Nirvanna and dear friends of Kurt Cobain"
NIRVANA was even better than Nirvanna
@@MrStylez-uu3dryeeeeess
Thanks God for Dave Grohl. I so miss his drumming.
so focused, powerful, raw...even with the emotional background. Respect to Dave.
😭
The pure joy that comes to his face as he starts drumming !!
Dave went through alot of emotions. Reluctance to play it, 12 seconds in he’s in the zone smiling, then sadness when it was over.
Looks like he was wishing it would never end.
As soon as that guitar hit his face lit up, you could definitely see in the beginning his sadness
❤️🙏
A lot
The smile at 0:10 says it all
That was some true advanced drum performance!!
Hats down !!!😮

Watched him transform back into time right before our eyes
Dave Grohl is one of the best legendary drummers from Nirvana.
Uh, he is the legendary drummer from nirvana.
Such a passionate drummer still after all these years
he is the legendary drummer of music*😊
He just went into a zone of nostalgia and killed it
I love it so much! The first time I cried. I was never able to enjoy Nirvana again- until I saw this. It ripped a 30 year old band aid- and I recovered the ability to just enjoy the epic uncharted universe that was birthed from this band and Seattle in the late 80- early 90s.

Because he is the real drummer for Godsake
Ever is pretty crazy
The best drum cover.
He Killed it.... Kurt we miss u....
A man whole truly excelled in his craft in every way. What an absolute legend..
Speechless- at first he was just playing the drums. But by the end, you could feel his heart and soul through those drums. He is by far the best rock musician alive right now.
This deserves a billion views

For me personally Dave Grohl is still the best drummer maybe not technically the best but he always drummed with so much feel to it, just put his heart and soul into it and it just shows and gives me shivers.
if you really like Dave grohl you should check out his book. He goes in depth about drumming and maybe even kurt
Ringo baby

The pause before closing the high hat 1:34 is so absolute crisp
His play style is so much like animal in the muppets!
It never gets old watching Dave Grohl behind the set with some sticks!!
This man has the ability to sound like an absolute canon with every strike he takes on a drum set. One of my favorite drummers all time
Can’t even imagine how he felt playing this again in front of a lot of people, this song was the soundtrack to my teen years. This song makes me so happy it makes me wanna cry of joy sometimes.
My heart is breaking.
But that's a beautiful performance.😢
Mine did, as well. Dave put his heart into this performance. It's as if Kurt was right there with him. This was powerful. 😢
He never lost his nirvana drummer spirit, he didn’t miss a single beat!!
Dave is the Count Dooku of drummers. Absolute master who switched sides out of seeming necessity, but still always had a bit of his old self left inside of him.
The little drummer boy living his best life.❤
the drum stick movements?! OMG!!! it's magical!!!
our little group, it's always been...and always will until the end 😔
No ding beats him
Yup.
Dave's still got it
The catharsis in this performance is so palpable, you could pluck it out of the air. You can see this is a form of healing he's avoided for so long. Glad he's gotten past it and can celebrate Kurt's time with him. Love ya, Dave. ❤
Without Dave's iconic drump playing in this legendary song, this song would not have been a hit for sure.
The way he let himself go🤩 Nothing but legendary 💖
such an awesome performance. Dave has a ton of power behind every single hit. love that they setup a nirvana 4 piece kit for him
Traditional drums from back in the day!
So on point and crisp! Its like his body is tubed to play it perfectly and hes just watching himself! A true master class at drums from one of the best to pick up the sticks!
as a drummer he's my inspiration, his drumming on this song was simple but so good
I'm imaging Dave playing the drum and bursting into tears when Kurt starts singing.... Amazing performance. ❤
Dave's skills are vastly underrated
Can we all just PLEASE stop calling anyone or anything, “underrated?” I always hope that someone has a better, more original comment that doesn’t include overused adjectives.
not at all
He's considered one of the best rock drummers in History
He's The Legend. Not underrated!!!
You mean, other than being considered one of the best drummers in the world? You call that "underrated", or did you just feel like you had to use a buzzword in order to get "thumbs up" based on which you could validate your existence?
Man, this never gets old. Salute Dave Grohl 🙌🏾
The greatest rock song ever and forever
It’s not rock
it's grunge
grunge is a rock style guys 😭🙏
i need to come back to this video and watch it once in a while it's about to keep my teen spirit alive.
Same here
I have a feeling he does this at home, nostalgia.
Absolute definition of a "low slung dude" and nailed it to the wall, silent walk off was just 🔥
The first song I ever learned to play drums on. God I miss that time.
Still can't believe Kurt is gone one of my Favorite bands of all time..last concert I attended 1993 at the forum in los angeles... I was 17 🥲
I love the way he plays the drums beautifully!
GeeeeeZ!!!! This gives me CHILLS!!!!
I was soooo young when this came out.... Thank you to my DaD for teaching me to be DIVERSE in EVERYTHING in life!!!
GREATNESS all over again!!!! So glad to have been alive during such an AWESOME error of music and PURE TALENT!!!!
When he let his hair get in his face and sloppy reminded me of him in the 90s.
its just so sad.. but still, the best
Kurt was a great talent, and he had a beautiful soul to match that was the face of Generation X - We lost a significant figure and much needed in today's mad, mad world - RIP Kurt. 🕊🪔
Gave me chills, amazing drummer
Holy Christ, I’m almost moved to tears. I saw these guys live twice, I’m 56 years old some of the best times of my life. Dave Grohl thank you

Dave Kurt is looking down and saying U Kick it out there thanks for all the great memories with with Nirvana you guys made many people happy
This man was transported back in time. It's always a little bittersweet watching this.
You can tell that was a hard one for him. As soon as the guitar started you see the face drop . RIP Kurt
It's called focusing on what you're doing.
@@martinc.720He's keeping the beat to his dead friend's voice and followlng Kurt's timing.
Grow up, please.
I cried so much my god. It’s such a powerful drummer, a powerful song, a powerful band. When I heard Kurt’s voice I just cried my life :,)
Give him back to us ! Give him back to Dave, Krist, Courtney, his daughter and his family !
Dave is literally a goat.

Singing and playing guitar is just a side quest for this guy
Soooo true. Wow
What i love the most about Dave kicking the drums is his hair flying free. I imagine that he can't see very much, but thats okay. Pure passion.
The drums always Hits hard
The sound of this small kit is insane. Grohl is a beast and devoted to the song: a real Drummer.
No words for this... just the best
Dave on drums.. It's a blessing just to hear the drums.. Wished I could see him on drums live he's alive when he bangs them drums
The coolest dude ever
Man, this video inspired me to pick up the drums the first time I saw it. Such a powerful performance
What a attitude... Dave......love from BANGLADESH
energy still 100%❤
He's not 100 years old.
55 is pretty old lmao, not saying he's dying but it's about at the point where energy starts decreasing @@martinc.720
Even the hair is legendary!!!
Iv never seen someone look so joyous doing something they love🥲
i love kurt, i love dave. they will go on to live forever.
50% comments: You can see the pure joy in his eyes
50% comments: You can see the sadness in his eyes
Iconic.
And I love how he hits the ride once on the very last beat.
Excellent! Genius!
seeing him smile just made my day, but i can't imagine what he starts to feel when kurt sings.
Dave ist der Grösste!!!!!!
I can’t get enough!
This is amazing..
