He’s said that at a concert, 80k people might be singing along for 80k different reasons and that when they get to the parking lot, they might not like each other. But, in that stadium, they’re united as one.
Dave Grohl is just an awesome guy. Years ago, in Tasmania Australia, some miners got trapped in the mine they were working in and requested an iPod with just Foo Fighters songs on it to pass the time. When Dave Grohl heard that, he sent them a message saying "When you guys get out of that mine, there will be free tickets for any show in the world waiting for you!"
Fun fact: Dave Grohl almost didn't put this song on the album because he was worried about blowing out his vocals singing it on tour night after night.Lucky for us he figured out a way to do it live without putting too much strain on his vocals and it was included on the album.
Go to a live concert and once the 1st 3 chords are played , Dave Grohl doesnt need to sing it, I have been to 4 concerts and the audience took it over every time - chilling
My son was 3 years old when I divorced his father. I listened to this song on repeat for strength. He is now 22 years old and I sent him this song and told him I hope it gives him strength, because in my time of need it strengthened me. He said “Mama I remember you playing this when you were leaving dad!” 🤯
Look up Dave's PBS Newshour interview from 2018, there's greatness in it. He doesn't care what anyone believes, has faith in, this side or that.....he just wants people to have fun and forget all the sh!t that's waiting outside that concert venue. The lyrics in this song to me are definitely doubles, he wants people to interpret the music how they see it, not how he thinks it should be. He is a unique human, his speech at Lemmy's funeral was one of the best ways I've ever seen someone Memorialize a friend/loved one. *My Hero & Walking After You* are two of my favorites that you haven't reacted to yet.
The last time they played Glastonbury (UK festival) this, with the crowd, was epic. The whole set was shown live on the BBC. They're one of the rare bands that are even better live ❤
Please - please - please. If you watch “My Hero” watch where the drummer who passed away - teenage son playing the drums. You’ll also get a live performance
True the Taylor Hawkins memorial concerts made the whole damn world cry. It was the most beautiful, precious, wholesome, heartbreaking, bad ass tribute since Freddie Mercury.
The abusers know how to get the best of you, to hook you in, and then they get the best of you when they smash you to pieces. Ironically, I was in a narcissistic, abusive relationship. During the love bombing stage, he got the best. I shared Everlong with him. My favorite love song that doesn't even say love. The Foo Fighters have this song, too, for how things can turn out. On a brighter note, they are David Letterman's favorite band. After his heart surgery, they canceled their short tour in South America to play on his first show after surgery. They also played Everlong, Letterman's favorite FF song, on his final show. ❤
Also BP, there is another side to this. Abuse victims allow the abuser to affect their life for years after the abuse stops. Allow yourself to be mentally abused by that person even years after the abuse has stopped. Hits home for me. Letting that person get the best of me.
I 💯 agree and resignate on that too. Like I let my ex get many years of the best of me, just to be abused and even cheated on. That’s how I look at this song.
I saw them live when he broke his leg, a warm summer-evening/night in Gothenburg/Sweden, when he got back on stage with the leg in a cast and performed this song!😊
Oh my geez, I watched a video of that (US here) and at first I was like where the f did Dave go? and then his voice "I think I just broke my leg". Leaves, comes back and finishes Under Pressure that Taylor was playing...... lmao! Then I watched the talk show where a couple years later they reunited Dave and the Dr that helped stabilize his ankle for the next 2.5 hours while he was on stage in a chair. That man must have had some serious adrenaline pumping to not feel the pain at the onset.
I went to the Milton Keynes gig after that when he played from an electric chair that the crew had built for him, still a fantastic gig and display of musical talent even with a broken leg !
@@goosiegander I wen't back to the next gig a couple of years later, at the same outdoor arena in Gothenburg, and that time he had a stuntman dressed as him, and when they started playing, that guy fell off the stage during the first minute or so. Also a very fun gig! By the way, Axl Rose borrowed the throne later, when he broke his foot just before Guns reunion. :)
YES! One genius artist paying respect to a fellow great artist and the triumph that is this song! 💯 B.P., PLEASE react to Prince's halftime show at the Super Bowl... THE GREATEST HALFTIME PERFORMANCE IN SUPER BOWL HISTORY!🔥 #facts #noliesdetected
Watch a live version of this....the crowd participation will def give you goosebumps... **Fall of 2021, my 7 year old grandson was listening to Foo Fighters with me on the drive home from school... Daniel said "nanny, he said my head is giving me life or death, but I can't chose....that's a really good line".... I knew I had my FF partner right then and there.... he has seen them live with me now twice....
A real great touch I find... is that he starts the song with :" I've got another confession".. like we just walked in in the middle of a 2am, heart on the sleeve, "I'm just gonna pour my heart out conversation" between two friends...
The Foo Fighters have many hits, and there's a reason why they are in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame and for Dave Grohl a 2 time Rock n Roll HOF . You should listen to Them Crooked Vultures which was another band he was in and was basically a supergroup. With John Paul Jones on bass ( Led Zeppelin) and Josh Homme vocals and guitar ( Queens of the Stone age) Dave Grohl on drums ( Nirvana and Foo Fighters). You could pick any song from that album, and you couldn't go wrong. Dave Grohl drumming is amazing in that whole album. Thanks for the content.
I never liked this song on he album, but I saw it live in concert and then I got it. 100k people feeling this with all their hearts. Absolutely fucking amazing!
This! I think seeing it live and seeing Dave put his entire heart and soul on the line and the band playing as if it's the last song they'll ever play. Fucking immense.
Everlong was always my favorite song by them but this one and My Hero are also amazing. The drums in these songs always blow my mind. Foo Fighters just play really great rock music. Great analysis/reaction my friend.
Love the Foo Fighters! Have their whole musical catalog. They are fantastic musicians! My personal "political " views may differ from theirs but I don't let that get in the way of my pure enjoyment of their music!❤
Want a great Foo Fighters Song that nobody reacts to? "DOA" is criminally underrated because they've got so many hits, would love to see your reaction.
I went away from the Foo’s for a while because of the politics. But because of you I’ve slowly started listening again. And I understand why I loved them so much. Because of the music. And how good is it to see Taylor banging on those drums. RIP Taylor.
He wrote this not long after his sister got out of a toxic relationship. Next song: These Days. Dave grew up in the punk rock community in DC during the Reagan years. Back then, punk rock was very anti-establishment. His dad was a Republican speech writer and his mom a liberal school teacher. So, his delving into politics isn’t really a surprise.
My politics don't fall in line with the Foo Fighters either but I grew up with their music, I came of age to their music And I can look past that and appreciate the amazing talent that they are.
Well thought BP. I love Dave's play on the multiple phrase interpretation. Makes you really want to breakdown all the lyrics. Dave's a smart cookie. Also, a plug for him, his book "The Storyteller" is a great read.
@@BlackPegasusRapsyou would like it because a lot of it is about family. His mom divorced his dad when he was young and I think it made him want to have a family feeling. When the band did summer tours in Europe, every band member brought their family along and Dave’s mom too!
I agree with you . This is one of their best songs. I saw Foo Fighters back in 2012 2013 @ the Forum . They rocked it. This song has every emotion that I felt and still do every time I hear it. So glad you selected this song !!
Seriously my favorite band of all time! Dave Grohl is one of the most amazing people to exist in my opinion. They are the best concert I’ve ever been to! Thank you for reacting! Would love for you to explore FF from beginning days to present.
Love your takes and practical ness that you take with your reactions to music that you have not heard. This song is straight fire and packs a ton of energy. The lyrics match the edge and energy of this song. I think you would enjoy the song "My Hero" by this band as well.
Dave is sort of our 90s guy version ot Mick Jagger. He's the survivor generational talent and spirit of the decade. Genuine a musician if doing a show for 10 people or 100k he's all in. It's a show. Great talent. Great human.
Photographed Mumford & Sons in 2016 in Nola, and out of every song that was played in between bands, Best Of You was the one that got 17,000 people singing at the top of their lungs. Will never forget that night
Wikipedia-"Best Of You" was one of the first compositions for In Your Honor, written by Dave Grohl in his garage following his involvement on the campaign trail for John Kerry. Once the Foo Fighters recorded a demo, they shelved it feeling they could do better. It was only brought back for further production by manager John Silva, who felt "Best of You"'s absence while listening to what they had recorded that far. Taylor Hawkins declared that it was the only song from the rock disc of that album that remained from the original sessions along with "No Way Back". Grohl stated that while many of his songs start with the music and lyrics come last, the words for "Best of You" were fast to write. Given the Kerry rallies inspired him to do "all these songs about breaking away from the things that confine you", thus came "a song of resistance. It’s about the refusal to be taken advantage of by something that’s bigger than you, or someone you’re in love with. It’s the fight in the face of adversity." Grohl added that "Most people think it's a love song but it's meant to be more universal, which I think is one of the reasons so many people sing along when we play it." The composition had no interest in "an interesting melody", instead featuring "a rhythm that we'd never really used on any of the other albums." The focus was on a strong performance, where Grohl could "scream the whole way through". During the first rehearsals, Grohl came close to injuring his throat and felt afraid of being unable to perform live, but eventually considered he could pull it off as "when you go out and sing words from the heart, you scream twice as hard.”
Thank you for posting that. Fits well with BP's interpretation. Wasn't really feeling the angst of the music with all the upheavals in my life recently, but the intellectual side of it makes for a really good all-around song. Just a matter of what I prefer to focus my attention on at the time - a much needed reminder.
Remember having this on our wedding day video. My wife loves the Foo Fighters and we saw them live too. I think rap respects rock and vice versa. You just have to be open to it. Whenever rock and rap collaborate you get some awesome results 👌🏴
I'd like to Thank You for the FooFigters. I come to find out the front man for FooFigters, was a member of Nirvana's players. The only song Nirvana's did that I liked was Smells like teen spirit
Oh yeah you need to see princes version from the Superbowl.. its an amazing song Dave carries so much emotion in the delivery.. My Hero, Everlong, best, and many more.. FF have amazing songs, they are the BEST rock band out now, and have been for a long time.
The 1st ALL Girl Band in the 1970s: ''The Runaways'', with Joan Jett, & Lita Ford. Any song. lol Plus: TOMMY BOLIN" "Dreamer" & "Post Toastee". All Jammin' tunes...
He’s said that at a concert, 80k people might be singing along for 80k different reasons and that when they get to the parking lot, they might not like each other. But, in that stadium, they’re united as one.
Yes, that played at Wembley was amazing, a few yrs back.
@@H46_2 2022 Taylor Hawkins tribute concert.
@Bannerman246 Bad take
@Bannerman246you may not like him as a person, but its completely immature to just come into this comment section and say that. grow up
Wow. Amazing.
this song is THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST of Foo
I see what you did there.😊
Learn to fly, My Hero, Monkey Wrench, Times like these.....so many great songs from Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl is just an awesome guy. Years ago, in Tasmania Australia, some miners got trapped in the mine they were working in and requested an iPod with just Foo Fighters songs on it to pass the time. When Dave Grohl heard that, he sent them a message saying "When you guys get out of that mine, there will be free tickets for any show in the world waiting for you!"
Wow. I hadn’t hear that. Super cool!
Then he wrote a song for them, The Ballad of the Beaconsfield miners
I'm 99% sure that's what it's called
@-Gax- I totally forgot about that piece of info... I hadn't heard the song either.
@@marksmith164
It's on Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.
Erase/Replace, But Honestly and Home are phenomenal songs if you've never heard the album.
" My Hero " was my moms favorite song while she was alive. She said it made her think of my Dad.
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺. That broke me!!! I'm sorry for your loss!!
Makes me think of my grandfather, he was amazing. Happy tears and memories, he was my hero 😢 ** he was also a firefighter, the video just fits.
Fun fact: Dave Grohl almost didn't put this song on the album because he was worried about blowing out his vocals singing it on tour night after night.Lucky for us he figured out a way to do it live without putting too much strain on his vocals and it was included on the album.
It does sound strenuous tbh. I was trying to sing along and it didn't feel healthy.
Also his manager John Silva had to convince him to put it in the album In Your Honor
When preformed live, drummer Taylor Hawkins (RIP) sang, when needed, with him in a higher range. They were amazing together.
Makes sense - I can do about half the song before I slip up once on technique and it gets unhealthy lol.
Go to a live concert and once the 1st 3 chords are played , Dave Grohl doesnt need to sing it, I have been to 4 concerts and the audience took it over every time - chilling

Speaking of Alanis Morrisette, the drummer for the Foo fFghters used to be the drummer for Alanis. Rest In Peace, Taylor Hawkins!
If I recall he was their tour drummer.
@@randal_gibbons he’s in her videos, too, so he must have been her video drummer as well.

Not just the Super Bowl. The absolute BEST SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Best of you Live at Wembley …. Absolutely 💯
It is intense and Grohl's vocals are outstanding. The music pulsates throughout your body.
Prince kills this song during his Superbowl performance.
Need to watch the live version of this at Wembley. It’s life impacting.
That entire concert is amazing!
This is my favorite Foo song. I always choke up now when they show Taylor. RIP... 😞
You CANNOT go wrong with Dave and his Foo Fighters. Every song is great.
Check out “All My Life” one of their best songs along with this and everlong live at wembly
A real great touch I find... is that he starts the song with :" I've got another confession".. like we just walked in in the middle of a 2am, heart on the sleeve, "I'm just gonna pour my heart out conversation" between two friends...

That whole Super Bowl performance by Prince is worth a watch, but him covering this song in particular was great!
And in turn Foo Fighters covered Princes Darling Nikki at the 2020 Grammys salute to Prince! ❤
Yep, it was amazing. Dave said that Prince covering a song he wrote was the best moment in his professional life.
Everlong was always my favorite song by them but this one and My Hero are also amazing. The drums in these songs always blow my mind. Foo Fighters just play really great rock music. Great analysis/reaction my friend.
When this song came out, I played it on repeat. Who cares what politics the artists have we love. It's about the music.
Love the Foo Fighters! Have their whole musical catalog. They are fantastic musicians! My personal "political " views may differ from theirs but I don't let that get in the way of my pure enjoyment of their music!❤
As everyone is saying....the "My Hero" live with shane hawkins (taylors son) on the drums at his dad's tribute concert is amazing!!
Want a great Foo Fighters Song that nobody reacts to? "DOA" is criminally underrated because they've got so many hits, would love to see your reaction.
One of my absolute favourites of theirs. Definitely top5.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Want an even better one?
How I miss you
Seeing my 31st Foo show next month.🤘🏽 Their catalog is so diverse it never gets old.
great analysis!
The drummer was the drummer for alanis in “you oughta know”.
Matt Laug played drums on the track, iirc. Taylor Hawkins was in her touring band and can be seen in the video, but didn't play on the track.
I went away from the Foo’s for a while because of the politics. But because of you I’ve slowly started listening again. And I understand why I loved them so much. Because of the music.
And how good is it to see Taylor banging on those drums. RIP Taylor.
This is a song he wrote after a hard break-up from a former girlfriend. And you can really hear the pain of heartbreak in the way he sings it.
They are one of the best live bands there is to see. Dave and the band were made to perform live.
He wrote this not long after his sister got out of a toxic relationship. Next song: These Days.
Dave grew up in the punk rock community in DC during the Reagan years. Back then, punk rock was very anti-establishment. His dad was a Republican speech writer and his mom a liberal school teacher. So, his delving into politics isn’t really a surprise.
These Days…. Omg, holds such a strange place in my heart but such a good song.
@@nettiemac it was hard to listen to for a good 6 months after Taylor.
He also learned his craft being in Nirvina
My politics don't fall in line with the Foo Fighters either but I grew up with their music, I came of age to their music And I can look past that and appreciate the amazing talent that they are.
Well thought BP. I love Dave's play on the multiple phrase interpretation. Makes you really want to breakdown all the lyrics. Dave's a smart cookie. Also, a plug for him, his book "The Storyteller" is a great read.
Damn , he wrote a book. That’s fresh!! Thank you for the extra support!!
@@BlackPegasusRapsyou would like it because a lot of it is about family. His mom divorced his dad when he was young and I think it made him want to have a family feeling. When the band did summer tours in Europe, every band member brought their family along and Dave’s mom too!
Foo Fighters has tons of great songs!!! My Hero is probably a favorite…. They have a live version I think at Wembley Stadium that’s pretty great!
No matter how far to the right I may be, nothing can stop me from loving the Foos lol RIP Taylor 😬
I love this song from the Foo Fighters and the amazing drums from the late Taylor Hawkins.
Love the Foo's. His passion singing it is what hits
Ton more songs by them
One of my favorite songs. Can't wait to watch your reaction!
Man, this song makes me cry every time. Someone did get the best of me and I can't get that time back.
But you learned and you're stronger ! Hugs ❤
That happened to me, too, but I won't stay there. I will keep the best of myself. This video is beautiful.
This is my favorite song of theirs for sure.
Everlong and My Hero are my favorite songs. Love Dave Grohl. Not only is he super talented but an amazing human being. ❤
Love your reactions! And you are 💯 spot on. Good stuff, sir! 🤓🤠❤️
Prince Superbowl Halftime Show - performs this song! Remains the greatest halftime show.
I got into the Foo Fighters in 2022 and since then have seen them live 3 times. I am addicted, obsessed. My kids think I’m crazy.😂
My son thinks I am too. I’ve got tickets to see them 2x in a row in July.
Dave grohl was one rocker that kept his head. You should also hear Hero. But watch the video where drummers son plays the drums for his dad.
For me "Times like these" is their best song, but this one is great too.
I agree with you . This is one of their best songs. I saw Foo Fighters back in 2012 2013 @ the Forum . They rocked it. This song has every emotion that I felt and still do every time I hear it. So glad you selected this song !!

You nailed the meaning!
Foo Fighters, must see live !
Thats so funny that you mentioned Alanis Morissette, the drummer Taylor Hawkins, RIP used to play with her band. ☮️💜🤘🔥🎸
This is a fantastic song... doesn't have the same 'replay' value that everlong, or my hero does imo
Can’t wait to see them at Mile High in August. One of my all time favorites.
With the Foo Fighters, the next song you hear, whatever it is, will be your favorite lol
Love your takes and practical ness that you take with your reactions to music that you have not heard. This song is straight fire and packs a ton of energy. The lyrics match the edge and energy of this song. I think you would enjoy the song "My Hero" by this band as well.

Foo Fighters "My Hero" 100% worth the listen.
My favorite Foo song and one of the best songs written of all time IMHO ❤
Dave is a great humanitarian 💙💙
Not sure if you know this but David (lead singer) was the drummer of Nirvana

Learning to fly, Times like these, and Walk are some of my favorites. RIP Taylor❤
