Dave Grohl is the ultimate rock star. Dude fell off the stage and broke his leg, finished the concert sitting in a chair while a medic held his leg together. It’s on UA-cam.
As a drummer he lost his lead singer. As a lead singer he lost his drummer. They have amazing acoustic versions of both this song and "times like these". You'll like them both.
That is Dave's natural voice - no walkie talkie. AND he is normally singing, and playing the guitar and chewing gum. All this from the drummer of Nirvana. He is an anomaly, and only his spirit surpasses his musical abilities. Not only one of my favorite musicians, but one of the most humble people to ever grace music. The world is a better place because of the Fighters of Foo.
Although it's not a walkie talkie or distorted effect, the vocal track is heavily layered, it's not really his 'real' singing voice. You can hear the production
Dave Grohl, lead singer and guitarist here, was Nirvana’s drummer. In recording EVERLONG, Grohl re-recorded it with himself on drums here. So it is Grohl vocals/guitar/drums in this recording. PERFECTION. Was always one of my faves.
Me, too. As much as he was liking the lyrics I was thinking I cant wait until he gets to the Breathe line (then he glossed right over it and talked about the melody 😂).
@@livenhfree actually what he said at the start of the video is “the drummer from foo fighters was the drummer for nirvana. Maybe just a typo, or he read it wrong. But yeah .. not accurate.
I agree. I particularly love there goes my hero 'cause I use it as a gif whenever I'm talking about something amazing that my favorite president has done. Or if someone's done just something really amazing
Everyone correcting Polo that it's really the lead singer that used to be the drummer from Nirvana, but they're forgetting that Dave recorded the drums for this track. So Polo wasn't wrong. :D
@wesleyricketts789 spot on! He then built the band after he produced this first album. Even the late, great Taylor Hawkins said he found it hard being Dave Grohl's drummer, as the man is a rock drumming legend in his own right and a perfectionist. Dave Grohl (recent mistake not included) is the nicest man in rock music and one of the best front men too.
Drummer here--I would say the most difficult part of this song is the endurance you need to keep the energy up the whole time. You also need good single-stroke skills to keep the hi-hat and snare part clean during the verse. Glad you discovered Foo Fighters! Rock on, my dude!
Live video of the Rockin 1000 , Cessena Italy , where 1000 musicians came, performed FooFighters song. 100 drum sets, 100's guitars. Their way to invite FooFighters to play in their town . And they did come after video went viral .
I absolutely LOVE THIS BAND! I’ve seen them live 3 times. They put on the best show I’ve ever seen! Listen to this song live. It’s incredible, and anything acoustic too!
Yeah, it happened here in Sweden 2015. The doctor, Johan Sampson and Dave was later reunited on the swedish talkshow Skavlan. Was actually pretty heartwarming to see.
Dave Grohl is one of the most well liked, nicest and most respected guys in rock. Amazing talent and showman. A really fun video is the one where he brings a local guitar player up from the audience to play Monkey Wrench. It's awesome. And the guy he brought up is a great player, too. He likes to pick out people from the crowd to bring on stage for a song.
The drummer for The Foo Fighters passed away a while ago the Foo Fighters gave a tribute concert. Watch the end of the concert in Europe when the drummers 16 year old kid plays one song with the band for his dad
1. Find the acoustic version he played on the Howard Stern show. 2. Find Rick Beato’s breakdown of this song on UA-cam. 3. Find a live performance of this song on UA-cam. Any will do but the best is from the LA forum early 2022 where he brings a guest drummer on stage.
My first time hearing this song was live on Howard Stern. That was a loooooong time ago. It was so beautiful and I remember Howard not getting over how much in love he was with the song. It stirred a lot of emotions in him.
It was our son’s first concert. He was 9. We scored row 16 tickets at Summerfest! Our kid was loving it. He (21 years old now) and I went again in 2022 along the Milwaukee lakefront. Still fantastic!
For the record, this song is one of their best, but it's not even in my top 5. My Hero, All My Life, DOA, The Pretender, Best of You, Monkey Wrench, Times Like These... And their fan base is MASSIVE! I look forward to the rabbit hole! Also, the acoustic versions of this, Everlong, and Times Like These are pretty fantastic as well!
Dave Grohl- former Nirvana drummer - became lead singer/songwriter and guitarist for the Foos. Their phenomenal drummer was Taylor Hawkins who died of a drug overdose a few years ago. A great live Foo performance is when they did tribute shows for Taylor after he died. “ My Hero” had Taylor’s 15 year old son, Shane, killing it on the drums in front of thousands of grieving fans.
This is one of my favorite rock songs of all time. It's just got everything. Every instrument is perfect, the vocals are amazing, the song builds perfectly, just amazingly structured, and it sounds FIRE
He played every instrument on the self-titled debut album, but not for The Colour and the Shape, which this is from. The band's lineup was still very much in flux at this point in Foo Fighters history, though, so that is Dave Grohl drumming on the album even though he didn't play drums in their live shows.
The drummer of this band passed while FF were on the rosd a few yrs back. Check out the one performance with Taylor’s young teenage son sitting in with the band for this one song. I cried like a baby .
Oh buddy, I'm so happy you discovered Foo Fighters. This band means a lot to me, their music got me through a lot of teenage angst and a strong depression. Enjoy the ride!
The two live performances of "My Hero", the Howard Stern Show in 1999 and the Taylor Hawkins tribute where Taylor's son Shane plays the drums in his father's stead after Taylor's untimely death. Absolute must see's. Both wonderfully moving for completely different reasons.
I love that the bar is TOOL now 😂. I mean it’s always been TOOL for me but to see someone go on that same journey is a blessing The singer of Foo Fighters is Dave Grhol and he was the drummer for Nirvana. The Foo Fighters will bring you down a rabbit hole of awesomeness. Glad to see you through it
There’s also versions with just Dave Grohl playing it on acoustic guitar that are really good. I’m learning it on acoustic guitar at the moment, finding it tough to get up to full speed but getting there! (oh and that’s without the complication of playing AND singing as Dave does!!!)
BRO.... you have been my "go to" every time you pop up on my UA-cam. I am psyched you just discovered the Foo Fighters... you gonna love 'em.. for sure. Going in fact to Seattle in AUG with my oldest son, front row at their playing downtown - and am psyched. LOVE what you do - - you bring fresh new vibe to the wonderful world of music. Keep up the tremendous work that you do! Be safe.. enjoy. Cheers!
Not sure if it’s been mentioned but at 4:55 the part after he sings “she sang” isn’t just guitar but Dave’s then girlfriend Louise Post singing “doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo“ . He rang her at 2am and recorded it down the phone. Once you hear it you can never un-hear it
The videos are mini movies!! Hilarious in many forms, and they actually made a horror movie before their drummer passed away. The Taylor Hawkins tribute concert is outstanding-especially the My Hero with Taylor’s son, Shane, playing the drums for his dad
My son bought me (and him) tickets to see FooFighters in a couple weeks!!! I’m a huge fan. I’m a 57 year old mother of three sons. This will be my second show by them. Sadly, without Taylor Hawkings (the drummer RIP.) I’m sure you’ll have so many favorites. I hope you go down the rabbit hole. Dave Grohl also wrote a great book “The Storyteller, tales of life & music!” After you explore more of the FooFighters and fall in love with Hawkings…I suggest watching the live tribute to him where his 16 year old son Shane performs “My Hero”…you’ve got to get to know the band some first though. Grohl is supposedly one of the nicest guys. He’s down to earth and volunteers and gives to charities. You’ve discovered a real gem. Have fun.
This is their best song, and your ability to instantly recognize greatness is what separates you from the herd. Love your channel. Love you. Several more Foo songs.you will like...
Dave Grol was the drummer in Nirvana he is the guitarist and lead vocals in the Foo Fighters. The drummer in the Foo Fighters was Taylor Hawkins who passed away not long ago. Just so you got the information correct the Foo Fighters are currently touring Europe with a new drummer.
This is and has been in my top 5 since the beginning. I still get chills as if I’ve heard it for the very first time. It’s f’n amazing!!!! ❤️🔥❤️When music can bring you to the very core of your being it’s an endorphin that is addictive. I literally get emotional charged by this song. It’s 🔥
Dave Grohl went from Drummer to one of the Best Front Men in Rock History! 2 Time Inductee into the Rock Hall of Fame! He's always in attack mode, but is cool as a Fan!
Loved this reaction. Your visible and subtle excitement was infectious. February stars, the pretender, in your honor, what if I do? All great songs I'd love to see a reaction to
If you like the studio version, you need to check out the live version from Wembly Stadium 2008. As much as this version of Everlong made me a Foo Fighters fan, that live version is incredible.
Dave plays all instruments on the debut album. This is off their second album and he does tho plays drums on this record after the drummer quit and he re recorded the drum tracks on the whole album
Dude.. so glad you did this. This song is one of three that I can literally say shaped my musical life. I remember the moment I heard this is 1999. Such a great song from the 2nd album of what can arguably be the best/most commercially successful rock bands in the last 25 years. In case you were interested, in the other two songs; try 1979 from the smashing pumpkins, and I might be wrong from radiohead.
@@poloreacts27 POLO, here's another band to check out; Goo Goo Dolls *(yes, I know, weird band name😏).* The link below is from their *Live Outside Concert* in Buffalo, NY. Their YT Channel has over 1M Subs and this particular song was downloaded on Feb. 2018 and has over 55+ Million Views!!! *"Iris"* is the name of the song and it is *POURING DOWN ON STAGE* 🌧️💧☔🌧️ and someone backstage turned EVERYTHING OFF!! Lead singer wanted his gear 🎤 🎸 turned back on so that he could *FINISH the Concert for everyone!!!* The Goo Goo Dolls also sing another song that *I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT,* yet you've heard it before.... *"Long Way Down"!!!* The song was *BRIEFLY* in the 1996 Movie 🎥🍿 Twister 🌪️!! Dusty (Philip Seymour Hoffman RIP 😞) was always Rockin' Out 🎵🎶 in the Camper!! 🙂😏 ua-cam.com/video/_HZM0QiuUS8/v-deo.htmlsi=N-yP-IE0peqbsasy
One of the few songs where I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. It stuck to me like glue from the opening riff. It's so simple but I have the hardest time imaging someone coming up with it. It's brilliance
The Foo Fighters are most likely the best rock band still in their prime. This is off their 3rd album, David Grohl (former drummer from Nirvana) plays guitar and lead vocal as well as writer of most of the music. The Pretender is a great cut. They also have great videos, one of my favorites is Learn to Fly, w/Jack Black.
It’s off the second album. After playing all the instruments on the debut album, he put together a new band. He ended up firing the drummer and he played the drums himself. The Color and the and the Shape is all killer and no filler.
@@abbynormal60 thanks for the correction, I knew when I wrote it, I was only guessing. Color and the Shapes and There is Nothing Left to Lose, both never left my turn table. In my 73-year-old mind I forgot which had Everlong on it.
Polo glad to see your reaction to this track. It's one of my favorite FF songs. Check out the songs "Walk", and "Pretender". The drummer was Tayler Hawkins, who passed away a couple of years ago. A great talent lost. Glad to see you like them.
Absolutely brilliant!!! I love the Foo's, see any live concert on UA-cam. Consistently incredible. I've seen them twice and will go again and again. Thank you Polo xxx
You are about to go down a rabbit-hole with Foo Fighters. Enjoy the trip! Besides the music being awesome, the entire band is a group of great human beings, especially Dave (the lead singer).
The Foo Fighters are awesome. Dave is the best. And if you wind up going down the rabbit hole, even their covers are amazing. Baker Street is in my rotation.
Thanks for the mention of Baker Street....I had never heard it before. I think I like it better than Gerry Rafferty's original. Have you seen the videos of their set at the Cubby Bear at Wrigley field? They did a cover of Miss You that I prefer to the Stones' version.
this is one of my all-time favorite songs! foo fighters have a ton of great ones. they're a rock band that seems to "get it" as far as how to treat fans and media. your reactions are the best on UA-cam!
I was fortunate enough to see Foo Fighters at Leeds Festival in 2019 when Taylor Hawkins was still with us, he was a beast on the drums and had a huge solo on a rising platform, a memory I'll treasure being there. Such a great band, The Pretender, Best of You, My Hero... all great songs
This is many Foo fans favorite songs (mine included) and there's a reason they close every show with it. There are a lot of things you should listen to from them, The Pretender, Best of You, My Hero will be requested tons of times and with good reason. For me, "Walk", "Outside", "DOA", "All My Life" and "I Should Have Known" will always be on Foo's playlists
So glad to see you finally getting into Foo Fighters! The best part of it is that your journey is just beginning! I’m actually a little jealous! Keep listening, it actually gets better!
Foo Fighters/Dave Grohl rabbit hole!!! The thing is, Dave is a genuine, 100% nice guy. He cares about everyone and will do so much to make strangers happy.
Check out this song from the Foo’s gig at Wembley in 2008. That whole concert will blow your mind. Have been to several FF concerts and they ALWAYS play their hearts out. Seeing them again at Roskilde Festival 5 July. This time without Taylor😢 RIP legend.
Yep. You’re right. This one is one of their hits. Check out Hero… IMHO, that’s the best song Dave has ever written. The lead singer is Dave Grohl. He was the drummer for Nirvana. The drummer of the Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins, who is Dave Grohl‘s best friend, used to be a drummer for Alanis Morissette. Taylor Hawkins passed away a little over a year ago while they were on tour. It was devastating for the fans, but especially for the band and Dave. Please do some more Foo Fighters. They have an extensive library that I believe you would enjoy.
Happy Summer Solstice! Perfect choice and I was pleasantly surprised you chose the FF. This is the band and the band members everyone wants to be and hang with. Dave would be the greatest bff to have. ❤ Really great live, too.
Im jealous. Been a foo fan since the beginning. Oh to hear it all for the first time again. Check out the covers album 'medium rare'. Off the beaten path, but super great.
Great group. Lots of great songs and some humorous videos. Saw them in concert one of the best rock concerts I’ve seen since the 70s/80s. Everlong is also performed acoustically check out more of their catalog.

The Pretender
If you like this, check out the video of Grohl inviting an 11 year old girl onto the stage to drum on this song. Fantastic!!!
They have a lot of great songs. Please check out The Pretender, and then hopefully some others as well. :)
It's worth checking out their live performances. IMO they're one of the best live rock bands ever.
Listen to a recent live version. Dave has developed it so much more. It's completely different now.
I'm not even the biggest Foo Fighters fan. Everlong is just one of the greatest songs ever written.
I agree. Plus, the live acoustic version he did on Howard Stern is one of the best live performances ever.
agreed 100%
Yep, totally agree. Best song for this band.
Absolutely. Lyrics are 🔥
Yup for sure. Loved this song since it came out. I was like 11 when it came out
"Breathe out so I can breathe you in" is one of the coolest lines in any song, ever.
Hands down!
Dave Grohl is the ultimate rock star. Dude fell off the stage and broke his leg, finished the concert sitting in a chair while a medic held his leg together. It’s on UA-cam.
I saw him on that tour. Best show I've ever been to, and he sat the entire time
i was almost at that show. lol.
the tour that followed was one of the best shows i’ve ever seen
He out shined Cobain.
I was there that day. Unforgettable how he came back and somehow finished that
When David Letterman retired they rearranged an entire tour so they could play this song on his last show.
Sad and happy day.
I recall he first heard this song after his heart surgery and he was visibly moved.
@@nightwood3738 Yeah this song got him through being in the Hospital the whole time! He absolutly loves it!
Not a late night guy, but I did see that show. Thanks for the memory.
They were his favorite band.
As a drummer he lost his lead singer. As a lead singer he lost his drummer.
They have amazing acoustic versions of both this song and "times like these". You'll like them both.
😢 so sad, hadn't looked at it that way. Poor Dave.
Wow i never thought of it that way
Cult ritual shit
That is Dave's natural voice - no walkie talkie. AND he is normally singing, and playing the guitar and chewing gum. All this from the drummer of Nirvana. He is an anomaly, and only his spirit surpasses his musical abilities. Not only one of my favorite musicians, but one of the most humble people to ever grace music. The world is a better place because of the Fighters of Foo.
"He is an anomaly..." Yes, yes he is.
Well it is double-tracked
Well said!
Although it's not a walkie talkie or distorted effect, the vocal track is heavily layered, it's not really his 'real' singing voice. You can hear the production
@@123brizy Watch them live on SNL - with Dave Chapelle. No layering, no production, and he is chewing gum.
Listen to the Pretender, Best of You!
Dave has said many times it's their most popular song. But, you have to do the video for it. Their videos are all SO good and often very funny.
Yes you will die for these too! Can't wait for these videos!
Yes do these songs please
Definitely watch the Pretender video, the song is great but the video puts it over the top!
The pretender is an absolute 4Runner song!
Dave Grohl, lead singer and guitarist here, was Nirvana’s drummer. In recording EVERLONG, Grohl re-recorded it with himself on drums here. So it is Grohl vocals/guitar/drums in this recording. PERFECTION.
Was always one of my faves.
Foo Fighters - My hero is one of my all time favorites
Paramore did a good cover of that. IMO
One of the best tracks in modern Rock. DEFINITELY worth your time.
This!!!
Reminds me of my blue collar Grandfather, still the best man I ever knew!
Emotion overload when Taylor Hawkins son takes his place at the tribute concert after his death.
"Breathe out so I can breathe you in." One of my all time favorite song lyrics.
YES!!!!
“Hold you in” Same!!
I was just going to write that. Perfect words on any song
Me, too. As much as he was liking the lyrics I was thinking I cant wait until he gets to the Breathe line (then he glossed right over it and talked about the melody 😂).
@@joeraymorton2414I know!! I was like... go back... GO BACK! 😂😂
So happy you got to discover the Foo Fighters. Hall of Famers, Taylor Hawkins was one of the finest drummers ever, may he rest in peace.
Yes, glad someone mentioned Taylor…so important.
Taylor was a helluva singer too!
His performance at his last concert before he died and sang Queen Somebody to love
Will always bring the tears
Taylor was awesome, but Dave played drums for this studio recording.
RIP Taylor. You were a beast of a drummer with infectious energy
The lead singer of foo fighters was the drummer of nirvana before Kurt Cobaine died.
Did you just listen to what he said? SMH.
@livenhfree did you? He said "the drummer for Foo Fighters was in Nirvana."
and the drummer for Scream before that
@@1bossdjyou beat me to it.
@@livenhfree actually what he said at the start of the video is “the drummer from foo fighters was the drummer for nirvana. Maybe just a typo, or he read it wrong. But yeah .. not accurate.
More Foo Fighters songs you'd love..
BEST OF YOU
TIMES LIKE THESE
MY HERO
ALL MY LIFE
Monkey Wrench. Hardest song they have. Jams.
Times like these hits hard.
Add The pretender and skin and bones!
I agree. I particularly love there goes my hero 'cause I use it as a gif whenever I'm talking about something amazing that my favorite president has done. Or if someone's done just something really amazing
Virginia Moon
Everyone correcting Polo that it's really the lead singer that used to be the drummer from Nirvana, but they're forgetting that Dave recorded the drums for this track. So Polo wasn't wrong. :D
If my memory serves me correctly, Dave wrote this entire album by himself, the Foo Fighters was just him until after this was recorded.
@wesleyricketts789 spot on! He then built the band after he produced this first album.
Even the late, great Taylor Hawkins said he found it hard being Dave Grohl's drummer, as the man is a rock drumming legend in his own right and a perfectionist.
Dave Grohl (recent mistake not included) is the nicest man in rock music and one of the best front men too.
The Pretender. One of those songs where you are driving, glance down the speedometer and realize you are driving 95 mph.
“Best of You” will blow your mind💪
Facts
When Prince covers you in the Super Bowl, you wrote a good song
And Prtender,
Sorry Pretender
I'll get downvoted, I'm sure, but as a Foo fan from the start, that song is overrated.
Drummer here--I would say the most difficult part of this song is the endurance you need to keep the energy up the whole time. You also need good single-stroke skills to keep the hi-hat and snare part clean during the verse. Glad you discovered Foo Fighters! Rock on, my dude!
Facts.
Absolutely, the pace is the toughest part of this song. Keeping that high hat dancing across the whole track must be so brutal.
Also love the flam tap sections on the snare during the bridge! Simple rudiments but such a driving sound
Hell Yes Foo Fighters! My Hero! Best of you! Monkey Wrench! So many more hits, amazing band! ❤
Live video of the Rockin 1000 , Cessena Italy , where 1000 musicians came, performed FooFighters song. 100 drum sets, 100's guitars. Their way to invite FooFighters to play in their town . And they did come after video went viral .

"Unless they're like Tool where every song they have is like this." - Buckle up! This is a rabbit hole you're gonna a LOVE!
Dave is a GOAT. He broke his leg 2-3 songs into a concert, had a doctor hold it in place and finished the entire show
Wow. Didn't know that! He's 1 of my favorites
I saw them soon after that. They had a giant throne made so Dave could be seated and they could still do the tour.
Yeah, it happened here in Sweden 2015. The doctor, Johan Sampson and Dave was later reunited on the swedish talkshow Skavlan. Was actually pretty heartwarming to see.
@tinasjostrand2677 I saw it yesterday, on the internet. Was very nice interview with Dr & Dave
Rabbit hole that’s so worth the ride!! Just saw them last month in concert and they are just awesome!
Dave Grohl is one of the most well liked, nicest and most respected guys in rock. Amazing talent and showman. A really fun video is the one where he brings a local guitar player up from the audience to play Monkey Wrench. It's awesome. And the guy he brought up is a great player, too. He likes to pick out people from the crowd to bring on stage for a song.
Kiss Guy!
Foo Fighters are awesome. When you do their song the pretender please God do the video. It’s excellent.
YES! the song is great but the video gives it so much more intensity!
The drummer for The Foo Fighters passed away a while ago the Foo Fighters gave a tribute concert. Watch the end of the concert in Europe when the drummers 16 year old kid plays one song with the band for his dad
"The only thing I will ever ask of you, gotta promise not to stop when I say 'when'" One of my favorite lines ever
1. Find the acoustic version he played on the Howard Stern show.
2. Find Rick Beato’s breakdown of this song on UA-cam.
3. Find a live performance of this song on UA-cam. Any will do but the best is from the LA forum early 2022 where he brings a guest drummer on stage.
I was going to suggest the Beato breakdown too …. Made me appreciate the genius of this song even more
yes to ALL of this!
LOVE the acoustic version of this
My first time hearing this song was live on Howard Stern. That was a loooooong time ago. It was so beautiful and I remember Howard not getting over how much in love he was with the song. It stirred a lot of emotions in him.
and The Stern Show version made it to radio play and was almost as, if not more popular than the original.
One of the best concerts I've ever been to they are amazing!
It was our son’s first concert. He was 9. We scored row 16 tickets at Summerfest! Our kid was loving it. He (21 years old now) and I went again in 2022 along the Milwaukee lakefront. Still fantastic!
Dave is the coolest dude on the planet! His talent is mind blowing.
There Goes My Hero, The Pretender, Learning Fly, Best of You...I could go on for a long time.
I’m so excited for you to hear this band!! They have so much amazing music.
For the record, this song is one of their best, but it's not even in my top 5. My Hero, All My Life, DOA, The Pretender, Best of You, Monkey Wrench, Times Like These... And their fan base is MASSIVE! I look forward to the rabbit hole!
Also, the acoustic versions of this, Everlong, and Times Like These are pretty fantastic as well!
You should listen to the acoustic version of this song, it's so beautiful❤
Legit one of the best songs ever written.
Dave Grohl- former Nirvana drummer - became lead singer/songwriter and guitarist for the Foos. Their phenomenal drummer was Taylor Hawkins who died of a drug overdose a few years ago.
A great live Foo performance is when they did tribute shows for Taylor after he died. “ My Hero” had Taylor’s 15 year old son, Shane, killing it on the drums in front of thousands of grieving fans.
This is one of my favorite rock songs of all time. It's just got everything. Every instrument is perfect, the vocals are amazing, the song builds perfectly, just amazingly structured, and it sounds FIRE
Dave Grohl is who you hear singing, playing guitar, & drumming on this album.
Better said "Dave Grohl is who you here on that song" - "what instrument" "i said what i said"
He played every instrument on the self-titled debut album, but not for The Colour and the Shape, which this is from. The band's lineup was still very much in flux at this point in Foo Fighters history, though, so that is Dave Grohl drumming on the album even though he didn't play drums in their live shows.
The drummer of this band passed while FF were on the rosd a few yrs back. Check out the one performance with Taylor’s young teenage son sitting in with the band for this one song. I cried like a baby .
Oh buddy, I'm so happy you discovered Foo Fighters.
This band means a lot to me, their music got me through a lot of teenage angst and a strong depression.
Enjoy the ride!
Now you’re ready for Times Like These
The two live performances of "My Hero", the Howard Stern Show in 1999 and the Taylor Hawkins tribute where Taylor's son Shane plays the drums in his father's stead after Taylor's untimely death. Absolute must see's. Both wonderfully moving for completely different reasons.
Such a beautiful and intelligent l reaction. Made my night. Thank you.😊 Peace, light and love...💞
The drummer was fabulous. His son played drums with the Foo Fighters as a tribute to his dad…you should check it out!✌️😊🔥rip Taylor
Shane plays for Chevy metal now, he’s 18. Taylor would be so proud
Dave played drums on this track
Was so amazing and emotional ❤😢
or when during that same stretch of the show they also brought out Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang to play some old Van Halen songs.
The pretender, monkey wrench, stacked actors, all my life…. Their catalogue spans 25 years of great music
It's actually the guitarist/singer used to play drums for Nirvana
Yes, however, he also drummed on this album.
I am just in awe of this song. It’s one of the greatest rock songs of all time.
I love that the bar is TOOL now 😂. I mean it’s always been TOOL for me but to see someone go on that same journey is a blessing
The singer of Foo Fighters is Dave Grhol and he was the drummer for Nirvana. The Foo Fighters will bring you down a rabbit hole of awesomeness. Glad to see you through it
RIP sweet Taylor ❤
The band put out a beautiful stripped down acoustic version of this song and it is absolutely something to check out.
There’s also versions with just Dave Grohl playing it on acoustic guitar that are really good. I’m learning it on acoustic guitar at the moment, finding it tough to get up to full speed but getting there! (oh and that’s without the complication of playing AND singing as Dave does!!!)
BRO.... you have been my "go to" every time you pop up on my UA-cam. I am psyched you just discovered the Foo Fighters... you gonna love 'em.. for sure. Going in fact to Seattle in AUG with my oldest son, front row at their playing downtown - and am psyched. LOVE what you do - - you bring fresh new vibe to the wonderful world of music. Keep up the tremendous work that you do! Be safe.. enjoy. Cheers!

Should do the Everlong video with Nandi on the drums. She’s 11 years old
Yes! I came to say this!
An absolute MUST!
Been a Foo Fighters fan since I saw Dave singing Everlong on MTV in 1997. It has remained my favorite song ever. They are awesome and fun live.
The videos are mini movies!! Hilarious in many forms, and they actually made a horror movie before their drummer passed away. The Taylor Hawkins tribute concert is outstanding-especially the My Hero with Taylor’s son, Shane, playing the drums for his dad
i liked the one that was like Sabotage from the Beastie Boys. lol
Polo "this is probably their best song"
Foo Fighters "hold my beer"
Yup 👍👍👍
Best Of You is a must! And The Pretender. Please give them a listen. Foo Fighters are incredible!
My son bought me (and him) tickets to see FooFighters in a couple weeks!!! I’m a huge fan. I’m a 57 year old mother of three sons. This will be my second show by them. Sadly, without Taylor Hawkings (the drummer RIP.) I’m sure you’ll have so many favorites. I hope you go down the rabbit hole. Dave Grohl also wrote a great book “The Storyteller, tales of life & music!” After you explore more of the FooFighters and fall in love with Hawkings…I suggest watching the live tribute to him where his 16 year old son Shane performs “My Hero”…you’ve got to get to know the band some first though. Grohl is supposedly one of the nicest guys. He’s down to earth and volunteers and gives to charities. You’ve discovered a real gem. Have fun.
I love that Dave narrated the audiobook himself. You get his inflections and anecdotes listening. 😍
This is their best song, and your ability to instantly recognize greatness is what separates you from the herd. Love your channel. Love you. Several more Foo songs.you will like...
Dave Grohl the Main Foo, lead singer, frontman extroardinaire , played drums on this track.
Just saw them in concert. Absolutely amazing! They closed the show with this song 😍
Dave Grol was the drummer in Nirvana he is the guitarist and lead vocals in the Foo Fighters. The drummer in the Foo Fighters was Taylor Hawkins who passed away not long ago. Just so you got the information correct the Foo Fighters are currently touring Europe with a new drummer.
This is and has been in my top 5 since the beginning. I still get chills as if I’ve heard it for the very first time. It’s f’n amazing!!!! ❤️🔥❤️When music can bring you to the very core of your being it’s an endorphin that is addictive. I literally get emotional charged by this song. It’s 🔥
Bob Dylan once said Everlong us his favourite song... pretty big praise.
his favorite FF song.. not his favorite song of all time.
Dave Grohl went from Drummer to one of the Best Front Men in Rock History! 2 Time Inductee into the Rock Hall of Fame! He's always in attack mode, but is cool as a Fan!
They close every show with this song. ❤ the Foo.
Loved this reaction. Your visible and subtle excitement was infectious. February stars, the pretender, in your honor, what if I do? All great songs I'd love to see a reaction to
"Best of You" official music video.🗣️🎙️🎸🔥You will Love it, one of their Best! Much love fr TX👊
My all time favourite Foo Fighters songs. And it is an oldie.
If you like the studio version, you need to check out the live version from Wembly Stadium 2008. As much as this version of Everlong made me a Foo Fighters fan, that live version is incredible.
Feels like summertime…thank you for that
Dave plays all instruments on the debut album. This is off their second album and he does tho plays drums on this record after the drummer quit and he re recorded the drum tracks on the whole album
Dave didn’t record the drum tracks after William quit, William quit because Dave re-recorded the drum tracks.
Dude.. so glad you did this. This song is one of three that I can literally say shaped my musical life. I remember the moment I heard this is 1999. Such a great song from the 2nd album of what can arguably be the best/most commercially successful rock bands in the last 25 years.
In case you were interested, in the other two songs; try 1979 from the smashing pumpkins, and I might be wrong from radiohead.
POLO! DON'T HOLD BACK, TELL US HOW YOU REALLLY FEEL!😂❤
I laughed so hard at this
@@poloreacts27 POLO, here's another band to check out; Goo Goo Dolls *(yes, I know, weird band name😏).* The link below is from their *Live Outside Concert* in Buffalo, NY. Their YT Channel has over 1M Subs and this particular song was downloaded on Feb. 2018 and has over 55+ Million Views!!!
*"Iris"* is the name of the song and it is *POURING DOWN ON STAGE* 🌧️💧☔🌧️ and someone backstage turned EVERYTHING OFF!! Lead singer wanted his gear 🎤 🎸 turned back on so that he could *FINISH the Concert for everyone!!!*
The Goo Goo Dolls also sing another song that *I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT,* yet you've heard it before.... *"Long Way Down"!!!* The song was *BRIEFLY* in the 1996 Movie 🎥🍿 Twister 🌪️!! Dusty (Philip Seymour Hoffman RIP 😞) was always Rockin' Out 🎵🎶 in the Camper!! 🙂😏

My man keepin it real@@poloreacts27
One of the few songs where I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. It stuck to me like glue from the opening riff. It's so simple but I have the hardest time imaging someone coming up with it. It's brilliance
The Foo Fighters are most likely the best rock band still in their prime. This is off their 3rd album, David Grohl (former drummer from Nirvana) plays guitar and lead vocal as well as writer of most of the music. The Pretender is a great cut. They also have great videos, one of my favorites is Learn to Fly, w/Jack Black.
It’s off the second album. After playing all the instruments on the debut album, he put together a new band. He ended up firing the drummer and he played the drums himself. The Color and the and the Shape is all killer and no filler.
@@abbynormal60 thanks for the correction, I knew when I wrote it, I was only guessing. Color and the Shapes and There is Nothing Left to Lose, both never left my turn table. In my 73-year-old mind I forgot which had Everlong on it.
@@alfredlandesman5165 it’s all good. There really are no weak FF records.
People of a certain age feel their life strike an exact moment listening to this. Perfect. ❤
Polo glad to see your reaction to this track. It's one of my favorite FF songs. Check out the songs "Walk", and "Pretender". The drummer was Tayler Hawkins, who passed away a couple of years ago. A great talent lost. Glad to see you like them.
Absolutely brilliant!!! I love the Foo's, see any live concert on UA-cam. Consistently incredible. I've seen them twice and will go again and again.
Thank you Polo xxx
You are gonna love this!
You are about to go down a rabbit-hole with Foo Fighters. Enjoy the trip!
Besides the music being awesome, the entire band is a group of great human beings, especially Dave (the lead singer).
The Foo Fighters are awesome. Dave is the best. And if you wind up going down the rabbit hole, even their covers are amazing. Baker Street is in my rotation.
Thanks for the mention of Baker Street....I had never heard it before. I think I like it better than Gerry Rafferty's original. Have you seen the videos of their set at the Cubby Bear at Wrigley field? They did a cover of Miss You that I prefer to the Stones' version.
@@PaulaRankin-h3l no, I haven't... I'm gonna look for that right now!
this is one of my all-time favorite songs! foo fighters have a ton of great ones. they're a rock band that seems to "get it" as far as how to treat fans and media. your reactions are the best on UA-cam!
My Hero and The Pretender are amazing. You should check those out next
I was fortunate enough to see Foo Fighters at Leeds Festival in 2019 when Taylor Hawkins was still with us, he was a beast on the drums and had a huge solo on a rising platform, a memory I'll treasure being there. Such a great band, The Pretender, Best of You, My Hero... all great songs
Check out their songs "The Best of you" and "The Pretender" same vibe...
For sure listen to all my life and times like these!! So good!!
This is many Foo fans favorite songs (mine included) and there's a reason they close every show with it.
There are a lot of things you should listen to from them, The Pretender, Best of You, My Hero will be requested tons of times and with good reason.
For me, "Walk", "Outside", "DOA", "All My Life" and "I Should Have Known" will always be on Foo's playlists
So glad to see you finally getting into Foo Fighters!
The best part of it is that your journey is just beginning! I’m actually a little jealous!
Keep listening, it actually gets better!
Foo Fighters/Dave Grohl rabbit hole!!!
The thing is, Dave is a genuine, 100% nice guy. He cares about everyone and will do so much to make strangers happy.
Check out this song from the Foo’s gig at Wembley in 2008. That whole concert will blow your mind. Have been to several FF concerts and they ALWAYS play their hearts out. Seeing them again at Roskilde Festival 5 July. This time without Taylor😢 RIP legend.
Yep. You’re right. This one is one of their hits. Check out Hero… IMHO, that’s the best song Dave has ever written. The lead singer is Dave Grohl. He was the drummer for Nirvana. The drummer of the Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins, who is Dave Grohl‘s best friend, used to be a drummer for Alanis Morissette. Taylor Hawkins passed away a little over a year ago while they were on tour. It was devastating for the fans, but especially for the band and Dave. Please do some more Foo Fighters. They have an extensive library that I believe you would enjoy.
Breathe out so I can breath you in, hold you in. One of the most beautiful lyrics of all time.
Happy Summer Solstice! Perfect choice and I was pleasantly surprised you chose the FF. This is the band and the band members everyone wants to be and hang with. Dave would be the greatest bff to have. ❤ Really great live, too.
Im jealous. Been a foo fan since the beginning. Oh to hear it all for the first time again. Check out the covers album 'medium rare'. Off the beaten path, but super great.
Great group. Lots of great songs and some humorous videos. Saw them in concert one of the best rock concerts I’ve seen since the 70s/80s. Everlong is also performed acoustically check out more of their catalog.
Can’t go wrong with FF on your playlist.
Foo Fighters
Fleet Foxes
Franz Ferdinand
