We should do a petition for them to release the song and if it doesn't work we should do a crowdfunding to support Barretts indemnity to the Foo's after he publishes it xD #MakeTheFansGreatAgain
But for real, Barrett was getting KILLER tones in those mixes. The drums and guitars sound huge and this is a just film microphone recording some studio speakers. Imagine what the actual mixed songs sound like?
You guys DID record some cool shit together, whether you want to be humble or not haha. Was Slackers Password on "the Marshall" you guys speak of in these videos, because Dave's guitar tracks sound so fucking awesome. If not the Marshall, what kind of amp was he playing through? If you remember.
I love the difference in reaction from DG in the two songs. The first one seems like he’s embarrassed by it, the second one his ears perk up and he seems intrigued, almost as if he might want to revisit it. Good stuff, I just stumbled upon this and being a huge Nirvana/early foo fan this is absolute gold for me. The new stuff doesn’t do it for me.
Slackers Password definitely kicks ass. Damn! That's possibly better than anything on the first Foos record! I don't know how I didn't see these outtakes until just now!
Great tune, I actually find the Foo Fighters therapeutic, I suffer with depression and severe anxiety among other things and when I have one of my anxiety attacks which is near enough daily at the moment, I put the Foo Fighters on, either a live performance or one of their videos and it usually helps to relieve it. I really appreciate the Foo Fighters and I'm grateful that they share their music with us. I wish I could give them an hug and tell them that :) Anyway, I'll stop being soppy now. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Dear Lord SLACKERS PASSWORD! Damnit that is a powerful infectious rock hook! So good, can't believe my new favorite song is not even released to listen to. Someone needs to do something about this, talk to Grohl or some band should at least cover it.
Hey, man! I know it's three years later, but I took your advice. My buddy and I just did a cover of it not too long ago. You can check it out on my channel (or my band's channel "Noware Official").
It's 2020. It's pretty much a chaos. This is the time to continue and release slackers password!!! People needs something that could cheer em up this year!
Dave just needs to release old demos for us foo fighters fans, everything on that first album and and early b sides are crunchy and heavy rockin'. Someone needs to personally email him for this idea and push it strongly.
I agree with all of you saying to release Slacker's Password. They we're nodding their heads themselves like... This is actually nice now that I remember.
Wow the second song, slacker's password, is amazing. Sounds like a guy wanting to make it big. Now Dave has a passion and good songs but I guess he's not hungry anymore.
Barret, you and Dave must realease some of your demos.. if you search on youtube: "Slackers Password" you'll find a lot of people cutting your video and making wonderfull videos with that song, sound fucking awesome man!
Hey Barrett, Im a big fan of your work! Just want to ask you, if you could tell me which guitar Dave used on these recordings and the pocketwatch cassett? And especially how he got that dark grungy sound?
These recordings sound so awesome. I LOVED the sound of Oh The Guilt too. Barrett, can you remember - roughly - what the guitar tracking setup was? (Distortion box especially).
for '"Oh The Guilt"? Kurt always used the Boss DS-1 distortion and a Small Stone Phase. I can't remember if he brought in his amp or used my marshall JMC 800 rig.
Dave used my JMC 800 a lot, still have it. We also used a battery powered amp called "the Can" (it was in a gas can) and on the "Exhausted" demo we used this really fucked up amp that I don't remember what kind it was but it was dying and eventually died. Distortions were MXR Distortion + and Marshall Guv'nor
"Watered it Down" (with audio D: ) 0:48 - 0:50 (First word) 1:05 - 1:27 (Dave: Oh.. I remember that..) 1:35 - 2:07 (Dave laughing ashamed "Interesting.. and weird....." 🤦🏻 2:23 - 2:40 (Dave: You water it down! down! You water it down! Water water water water it dowwwwwn!!! "Dave laughing again totally ashamed saying: haha.. just making music... 🤦🏻😂"
Hi Barrett, can you talk at all about Dave's guitar tone here on Slacker's Password? It's incredible. Is there a DS-1 in there? This stuff is gold. A smart-ass punkish attitude but so much ambition to be great. Man would be great to get a box set of this stuff.
hey Barrett, do you know the official Foo Fighters postboard? it's been there for a little over 15 years, it's maintained by the band but it's not listed anymore, there's only about 20 or so active users who are hardcore fans of the band, one of the administrators is Simon from foofighterslive.com, I'm writing this because I'd like to invite you to join, there's people there who know all about your sessions with Dave and would love so much to be able to have you there and maybe share an anecdote or two, maybe fill in some blanks on some of the information they have. you can find it at forum.foofighters.com , it's not listed anywhere so I think it's only still up for that core group of nerds who love this band so damn much. i hope you'll consider it, thanks for sharing these anyway!
I was member #625 (and was there before it changed format some time in 2000). Sad to see it’s gone, but I definitely understand given the rise of Facebook and Reddit.
I'd do absolutely anything to have the multitrack of Slackers password! oh my lord I'd love to mix my own version when I do my live mix Practice every Friday I'd love to listen to that on the PA!
I think what happened was that I wrote "wasting time" on the actual 1/2' inch reel of tape when we recorded the song (just going by the chorus), but I just recently found the lyrics and the song was titled "Slackers Password"
Barrett, for the love of everything that is sacred, release Slacker's Password. PLEASE.
OtavioFesoares I would love to release a box set of all the stuff!! Not up to me though...
Well, ain't that a bitch, eh? Keep it up, though! I'm loving these uploads.
We should do a petition for them to release the song and if it doesn't work we should do a crowdfunding to support Barretts indemnity to the Foo's after he publishes it xD #MakeTheFansGreatAgain
Could you somehow 'leak' it - maybe leave your studio unlocked one evening? 😎
@@thunderthecovers leak!
But for real, Barrett was getting KILLER tones in those mixes. The drums and guitars sound huge and this is a just film microphone recording some studio speakers. Imagine what the actual mixed songs sound like?
Barrett acting coy like he hasn't listened to these songs every week for the last 20 years
danger1980 ha! Nope. I've haven't really..
You guys DID record some cool shit together, whether you want to be humble or not haha. Was Slackers Password on "the Marshall" you guys speak of in these videos, because Dave's guitar tracks sound so fucking awesome. If not the Marshall, what kind of amp was he playing through? If you remember.
Slackers Password is awesome! They should release that song!
I want all of them!
I know right??! I could see them coming out with a new album and that song being on there. I would totally love to see it live... :D
They honestly should

Good stuff, I just stumbled upon this and being a huge Nirvana/early foo fan this is absolute gold for me. The new stuff doesn’t do it for me.
Slackers password is awesome holy shit! Dave, release that officially!!!
Dave: Please release all of the stuff you recorded between 89 and 94 and put it on a record!!!
fuck yes! someone needs to personally email him.
@@dyr234 ua-cam.com/video/jLEeR5qytfs/v-deo.html This is the best we have so far.
Slackers Password WOW!
Slackers Password definitely kicks ass. Damn! That's possibly better than anything on the first Foos record! I don't know how I didn't see these outtakes until just now!
I love how Dave is so transparent. No other artist would do this.
That riff on slackers password 😮
Great tune, I actually find the Foo Fighters therapeutic, I suffer with depression and severe anxiety among other things and when I have one of my anxiety attacks which is near enough daily at the moment, I put the Foo Fighters on, either a live performance or one of their videos and it usually helps to relieve it.

Amathyst Hart If u need any help, lemme know.
I get you. ❤
Amathyst I’m the same
I love Watered It Down, wish you could release the version with vocals!
Cool hearing these early / pre-Foos tracks... thanks so much B / Laundry Room for sharing!!!
Yeah, let’s stay silent during Slackers Password and pretend like it wasn’t a potential hit or anything. No big deal.
Dear Lord SLACKERS PASSWORD! Damnit that is a powerful infectious rock hook! So good, can't believe my new favorite song is not even released to listen to. Someone needs to do something about this, talk to Grohl or some band should at least cover it.
Hey, man! I know it's three years later, but I took your advice. My buddy and I just did a cover of it not too long ago. You can check it out on my channel (or my band's channel "Noware Official").
I could watch them go through tapes all day.
Oh far out slackers password needs to be a single. You should hit Dave up and tell him to release it.
Good lord! Slackers Password is one the best songs I've ever heard!
never in my life thought i'd get to hear NEW stuff from this era. WOW. and somehow i found it right when you uploaded it.
I don't wanna be that guy, but...Slackers Password's monster riff has a STRONG Nirvana influence.
Yeah, it’s a bit like Oh, The Guilt
I mean, he was in Nirvana in 92, so...
I need two things: A re-issue of the Pocketwatch Demos on CD and a CD of every demo from the first album era.
It's 2020. It's pretty much a chaos. This is the time to continue and release slackers password!!! People needs something that could cheer em up this year!
All of these tracks are like Dave's Incesticide.
davecesticide we NEED IT‼️
Slackers Password is one of the best tracks he ever recorded.....So much better then all the new shit from them, from the last 10 years....
Dave just needs to release old demos for us foo fighters fans, everything on that first album and and early b sides are crunchy and heavy rockin'. Someone needs to personally email him for this idea and push it strongly.
he needs to release slackers password . what a fucking badass tune!
OH MAN PLEASE RELEASE SLACKERS PASSWORD
This is my age talking but this is the Foo sound. The new stuff is just to polished.
I agree with all of you saying to release Slacker's Password. They we're nodding their heads themselves like... This is actually nice now that I remember.
WATERWATERWATERWATER
Should seriously consider releasing this material
Near the end of Watered It Down, it sounded like Tom Green doing one of his own songs.
Wow the second song, slacker's password, is amazing. Sounds like a guy wanting to make it big. Now Dave has a passion and good songs but I guess he's not hungry anymore.
Well said
Look if you leak these tracks Dave might not talk to you anymore but you'll have our admiration forever instead.
Admiration from strangers or keeping a good friend. What? Lol
@@seanimusprime9849 it was a joke geez, you must be fun at parties.
Man, I love these
When you don’t remember a song that’s better than everyone else’s released stuff. #slackerspassword
Slackers password is AMAZING!
0:33 When you realize the song is so much better than what you're doing now.
Barret, you and Dave must realease some of your demos.. if you search on youtube: "Slackers Password" you'll find a lot of people cutting your video and making wonderfull videos with that song, sound fucking awesome man!
Awesome songs!
Slackers Passwords is just amazing!
Slackers Password / Water It DOWN! 7”!!!
Quite liked the last song.
Damn Dave!! Record Slackers Password!!!
Hey Barrett, Im a big fan of your work! Just want to ask you, if you could tell me which guitar Dave used on these recordings and the pocketwatch cassett? And especially how he got that dark grungy sound?
I miss when the Foos sounded like Nirvana Jr.
Love slackers password
These recordings sound so awesome. I LOVED the sound of Oh The Guilt too.
Barrett, can you remember - roughly - what the guitar tracking setup was? (Distortion box especially).
for '"Oh The Guilt"? Kurt always used the Boss DS-1 distortion and a Small Stone Phase. I can't remember if he brought in his amp or used my marshall JMC 800 rig.
Hey! Thanks for replying.
I meant the guitar tracking in this stuff/ the trashier stuff on the first FF record. DS1 > 800 too?
You still got your 800?
Dave used my JMC 800 a lot, still have it. We also used a battery powered amp called "the Can" (it was in a gas can) and on the "Exhausted" demo we used this really fucked up amp that I don't remember what kind it was but it was dying and eventually died. Distortions were MXR Distortion + and Marshall Guv'nor
Dave used a Rat Turbo too, right?
💦WATER WATER WATER WATER WATER💦
lmao
Slackers password is better than anything off concrete and gold.
4:05- aneurism by nirvana
Slackers password = precursor to Local H
I think it would be really cool if they released this and a lot of unreleased foo fighters stuff on a Boxset for 2021
Keep digging!
that move at 4.59
Thanks😊
Fan-fucking-tastic
I wonder what video theyre watching cause it has young nate and will in it.
"Watered it Down" (with audio D: )
0:48 - 0:50 (First word)
1:05 - 1:27 (Dave: Oh.. I remember that..)
1:35 - 2:07 (Dave laughing ashamed "Interesting.. and weird....." 🤦🏻
2:23 - 2:40 (Dave: You water it down! down! You water it down! Water water water water it dowwwwwn!!! "Dave laughing again totally ashamed saying: haha.. just making music... 🤦🏻😂"
Its kind of insane how much he sounds like presidents of the United States lmao
I could totally hear CKY playing slackers password

Watered it Down sounds SO much better with no vocals. Almost like Exhausted or Arlandria.
Release the tapes, Grohl!
Water it down is actually good
imagine if Taylor was there to hear WATER WATER WATER
I'd do absolutely anything to have the multitrack of Slackers password! oh my lord I'd love to mix my own version when I do my live mix Practice every Friday I'd love to listen to that on the PA!
It's a shame about the crackling hiss running through your video.. can you fix that?
The crackling hiss is him seeking through the tapes, you can see him fiddling with the remote of the tape reel machine.
Box set!!!!!!! 2019!!
4:59
Realease watered it down
SLACKERS PASSWORD!!!!!! RELEASE THAT SHIT, PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Slackers Passwords sounds totally like Nirvana.
Change my mind.
Well it was recorded in late 1992...
Not to be petty, but isn't Slackers Password called Wasting Time? That's how it was credited in Sonic Highways.
I think what happened was that I wrote "wasting time" on the actual 1/2' inch reel of tape when we recorded the song (just going by the chorus), but I just recently found the lyrics and the song was titled "Slackers Password"
Oh, ok. Good to know. Thanks, man!
I just like to know accurate information, haha.
If Dave would ok it, some shots of the lyrics and stories/other stuff behind all these demos would make an incredible book .... I'd buy it
Laundry Room Studio Oralee!! Una pregunta bien respondida!!! :D
Gracias Barret!!
