    Grohl plays this song like he did in the 90’s. Kurts soul was watching him from heaven. I lost a friend that was in a band with me and every time I grab my guitar I feel his spirit with me. I bet that’s what grohl feels every time he plays thoughs Nirvana songs. It’s tuff and I have a lot of respect for playing these songs.

He drags the first beat of the bar and then kind of speeds up the rest. It gives the song real punch. Whenever you hear other people cover the song it just doesn't sound right.

      He won't do it in concert with the Foo Fighters. All they have done is teasers and left it at that. Foo fans would love to hear this at their concerts.

    You'd really have to have the chance to analyze Dave's brain patterns during this performance. We would probably be shifted back in time during the recording of Nevermind or one of Nirvana's live shows. I really think Dave does feel he's being transported in time, being 23 again.

      He'll always be 23 during the whole album, just like Kurt will never die as long as we can hear him. Art has a way of transcendence about it, how you cement yourself for eternity, irrespective of time
