when i saw the foo fighters live my corner was so dead and he runs over and sees me jumping and shit he points me out and puts his thumbs up.BEST DAY EVER
It's the weed....he just doesn't give a fuck and I don't blame him./... $ and fame when tied together or touted as being something of worth that is substantive is for losers.....aka Trump et al. He has a soul and it shows in his music...
I was in a semi-successful band about 4 years ago and we were recording an EP at the old Sound City studio (which dave bought) and I swear on my left nut, we were recording one day and Dave shows up on his motorcycle and comes in to sit in for a bit of the session and was just the coolest, most down to earth dude you could imagine. We were all shitting ourselves. He said something like "sounds fuckin good guys" and literally jumped on his motorcycle and rode off. We later found out his daughter is school mates with our sound engineers daughter and that was why he had originally stopped by. I'll tell that story to my grandkids one day.
hundreds? i wish. lemmys gone, bowies gone, freddie has been gone for a while. the pool is getting drained by the year. and i know the people i've mentioned are our dads fav artists but to me dave has always sat beside those fuckers. at least in my playlists anyways:-)
This story inspired me to sit at my piano and figure out what that would have sounded like. You can just riff on C#m, A, and B and that's pretty much the whole song. sounds awesome though.
@@rasaecnaiI think you should listen to her albums, because she's very versatile when it comes to music... And God the covers she makes and different versions of her own songs in the shows, it's amazing!
Dave is one of the coolest dudes on the planet. He is evidence that money and fame don't automatically turn you in to a db. Beyond that, he really is incredibly talented and a great writer. Smokin down with the foo fighters would probably be pretty fun
I think it's awesome that Taylor can be at a party and just hop on a piano and play a foo fighters song and Dave didn't even realize she was playing his own song. It would have been better if Taylor grabbed a guitar and jammed with him
Paula Pueblito Lopez lol actually she can compete with a legend since she has 4 consecutive albums to spend more than 6 weeks at #1, which is an achievement only done one other time in history and that was by The Beatles. And also her latest album has debuted at #1 on both the hot 100 and billboard 200 charts in the same week, which makes her the only artist ever in history to do so. (Now done twice in less than 6 months) She’s also the only artist to have 8 albums (consecutively as well) sell over 500,000 units in the first week, also all 8 have been #1 on the charts, making her the first female to do so. So you can dislike her music all you want but don’t let it take away from the fact that yes she is a legend, and Paul McCartney thinks so himself and was even inspired by her to write a song. And this is only just the tip of the iceberg in her long list of awards and achievements only 14 years into her career compared to Paul’s 60 years! Hey did you also know she’s only the second person ever to win artist of the decade along with Garth Brooks, not Paul. 😂
dave is an incredible musician.. i think it is sad to hear some of you giving lewd comments about his voice.. you just don't even realize what you're talking about. I don't feel sorry for you either.
This was also recorded with a camera phone or some shit, not exactly like it was hooked into the pickups and the best quality from a live recording possible...
Every single time I search for an acoustic version of "Best of You" I always run into this video and I can say that I have never skipped a single part of it. Thanks Dave Grohl for the fun times and great concerts. You are up there with Tommy Pickles and Leonardo Dicaprio in my book.
On the contrary, he is not really a prototypical rockstar who is conceited and blows people off. He is like keanu reeves of the music industry. He just the down to earth famous guy. Come to think of it, i havent seen keannu and dave in the same room LMAO
I really enjoyed his "we were at a party" B-52s shoutout with a glint in his eye. He realizes no one gets it and the glint leaves. lol. I got it, Dave!
For everyone saying that when he's screaming it doesn't sound as good as usual... First off, if you've never tried to sing this song then you have no idea how hard of a song it is to actually sing, I bet 99% of people couldn't even get half way through. Second, he's playing acoustic and sitting down which makes it harder for you to sing higher notes and hold notes. If you've seen the foo fighters live then you would know that Dave ain't a bitch and he can scream his heart out like a fucking pro.
Saw him in 1996 or 1997 at Thurles, Dave is one of the chosen few that science or god has picked to entertain us for a long time! Science bless you Dave :D
+peaner083 Theres nothing wrong with what he said he's Dead by Suicide he is either in Hell or for you atheist he is just gone so he is right he is not smiling either way
Goddamit Dave, no-one comes near you because you've mastered superstardom with humbleness, the juxtaposition no-one else in the music industry can do as naturally as you....
I hope there is a hotline where you could just listen to Dave tell stories 24/7.
lol i love this comment
dude, it's the truth! I could listen to him for hours and hours!
stfu and take all my money ...
1 800 Grohl
Fuck yes
Lets make one. PM me for details.
haha
It strikes me that sometimes Dave Grohl doesn't realize how famous he is...
when i saw the foo fighters live my corner was so dead and he runs over and sees me jumping and shit he points me out and puts his thumbs up.BEST DAY EVER
I think he's well aware.
He's just down to earth
It's the weed....he just doesn't give a fuck and I don't blame him./... $ and fame when tied together or touted as being something of worth that is substantive is for losers.....aka Trump et al. He has a soul and it shows in his music...
So true. That's one of the things that make him so special. Great story teller too - in addition to his rock star awesomeness of course!
I was in a semi-successful band about 4 years ago and we were recording an EP at the old Sound City studio (which dave bought) and I swear on my left nut, we were recording one day and Dave shows up on his motorcycle and comes in to sit in for a bit of the session and was just the coolest, most down to earth dude you could imagine.

+Mullet Mullet That's an awesome story mate!
+Oliver van Bilsen yeah, agreed
I can imagine that Dave is a pretty chilled out guy
I'd of jizzed in my pants.
Mullet Mullet 💙🤘🏻
I'm glad we still have a rockstar.
True.
Wad trying to think what it was I was trying to say: then I read your comment. Perfect.
We have hundreds. Stupid comment.
hundreds? i wish. lemmys gone, bowies gone, freddie has been gone for a while. the pool is getting drained by the year. and i know the people i've mentioned are our dads fav artists but to me dave has always sat beside those fuckers. at least in my playlists anyways:-)
We really don't. If you think imagine dragons is a band full of rockstars, you have no business typing "Dave Grohl" in your search feed lol
Note he said "OUR song Best of you" - not "my song". What a humble dude
That's because it's not a Dave Grohl song... Foo Fighters were a band.
This makes me feel like i'm at a bonfire and my favorite uncle is playing the best song ever.
Thanks Dave.
Dave is the uncle of us all.
Bonfire and one of my best friends (more like family) in my case…I feel this!
I really wanna listen to taylor's piano version of best of you now
I really wanna listen to taylor's piano version of best of you now with Dave Grohl suddenly screaming and yelling over Taylor's sweet voice.
Imagine being at a party with Paul Taylor and Dave
this is the only instance when im actually curious about a taylor swift performance. not a hater im just not interested in her music.
This story inspired me to sit at my piano and figure out what that would have sounded like. You can just riff on C#m, A, and B and that's pretty much the whole song. sounds awesome though.
@@rasaecnaiI think you should listen to her albums, because she's very versatile when it comes to music... And God the covers she makes and different versions of her own songs in the shows, it's amazing!
Glad you put this in the "Autos & Vehicles" category.
Oops - good spot - am on my phone but will check if I can change it later.
I love to hear that grunt of Chevy Grohl
Giddy up
I thought the same as you xDD
Jay Leno's Garage brought me here...
The Taylor swift/Batman story at the beginning of this performance is hysterical!!!!
one of the biggest rockstars out there yet so humble
Dave is one of the coolest dudes on the planet. He is evidence that money and fame don't automatically turn you in to a db. Beyond that, he really is incredibly talented and a great writer. Smokin down with the foo fighters would probably be pretty fun

/\ This.
no. Paul mccartney played guitar. nothing would be better than that. sorry. she just can't compete with a legend :)
all Paul's guitars were left handed ..... it kinda worked out
Yess

I love the imperfection of his voice and how confident he is about it 😍😍😍
Imperfections make perfection.
he did this on howard stern. just greatness
Dave is such a cool dude.
I love storytime!
absolutely every time LOL love him!!
One of the many benefits to seeing the Foos live.
He tells some good ones
dave is an incredible musician.. i think it is sad to hear some of you giving lewd comments about his voice.. you just don't even realize what you're talking about. I don't feel sorry for you either.
Exactly. They must be deaf. GROHL is a legend
love his voice!
They're use to "singers" who use auto tune, so they don't know what real singing actually is.
touche'
This was also recorded with a camera phone or some shit, not exactly like it was hooked into the pickups and the best quality from a live recording possible...
I love it when someone can tell a good story. It's half of what makes good conversation.
I'd of loved to see Taylor's face when he started belting that out.
Dave Grohl is a legend!
Mathis Ka He is a living legend!
This guy is my fucking idol...
same
Every single time I search for an acoustic version of "Best of You" I always run into this video and I can say that I have never skipped a single part of it. Thanks Dave Grohl for the fun times and great concerts. You are up there with Tommy Pickles and Leonardo Dicaprio in my book.
There’s still some epic musicians alive and Dave is one of them
Dave is one of the last true rock stars...
On the contrary, he is not really a prototypical rockstar who is conceited and blows people off. He is like keanu reeves of the music industry. He just the down to earth famous guy. Come to think of it, i havent seen keannu and dave in the same room LMAO
I Love How Dave Perfectly Converts The Story Into The Song.
So I sat next to her and I did this... Epic.
I was fortunate to cook dinner for Dave a few years ago in Dewey Beach Delaware ! He visits usually each summer when he's home in Virginia !
I'm guessing a Bud light with dinner....
The feelings conveyed in their truest form. What a Legend!!!
He retold the story again last night on the Late Late Show which brought me back here again. The live version is the best.
The way he started the song along the story. I love this man
What a terrific story! Lol! Thanks for sharing this!
I love Dave Grohl’s acoustic performance banter and antidotes
One of the best stories I've heard in a long time. Classic.
My dad lived this song. Too bad he isn't around to see you live anymore Dave 😭
I thank his folks for raising such a true human being and one with the people
Nobody can deny this type of real talent . This is fire.
Dave Grohl, you and your band are the bests ! these tracks are timeless !
Dave has to be the NICEST rock star of all time. I've never heard a less pretentious, more down to earth mega star in my life!
Same..❤
I really enjoyed his "we were at a party" B-52s shoutout with a glint in his eye. He realizes no one gets it and the glint leaves. lol. I got it, Dave!
One of the last pure, cool, good rock stars ⭐️
Keep on Jamming Dave!
Song from deep inside of heart!glad i can hear this beautiful song.....thanks A lot Dave!
It feels like just yesterday his leg was broken and he had a throne.
His soul is with is all threw his music very underrated think a comeback is in the making cant wait love from Ireland
Love his scream singing, so much feeling
I love hearing him geek out over other rock legends.
If someone doesn't like this....you must be fools, Dave Grohl it's the representation of pure power on earth! I love it!
Still opening this after 2 years, dammit his voice is just too good!
This song is literally what I’m dealing with and to hear this makes me happy that I’m not the only one who’s going through it
Women are Powerfull.Through out history they've DESTROYED KINGS and a King can take his pick.
We're just a MAN. Lol
there's something about his voice I just love. it's just so real.
I could listen to this man talk all day hea such a good story teller
I love David so much! I'm so glad he keep making music, he's the best!!!!!
I am glad we still have a rockstar too...omg what happened to them? There aren't many around anymore..
I wish my voice was that raspy when I sing
For everyone saying that when he's screaming it doesn't sound as good as usual... First off, if you've never tried to sing this song then you have no idea how hard of a song it is to actually sing, I bet 99% of people couldn't even get half way through.

If you've seen the foo fighters live then you would know that Dave ain't a bitch and he can scream his heart out like a fucking pro.
Bobby Mueller yeah agreed, plus the majority of people don't know how to scream properly or add distortion to their voice anyway. They're just stupid.
Not to mention Dave usually plays 3+ hours live and screams his ass off the entire time, night after night. Dave Grohl ain't no bitch
No auto tune there.. ever lol! Imagine trying to fake that in a concert
So true dude love singing this song
And you have to remember how many times he has to sing this song over and over and over and over.
Dave your the man!
Very humble artist, love it!
I LOVE that transition from the story to the song. Flawless 😩❤🎸
The most "realist" song on earth... Thank you Mr.Grohl...
Man I friggin love Dave Grohl...so cool, so raw so humble!
god bless you Dave! a true rock star. humble and that makes you funny. love ya bro
My favorite musician Dave Grohl is amazing
So so much love for this guy!
Its nice to see that a pop star and a rock star can respect each other.
One of my alltime favorite songs by the Foo Fighters
A drummer at heart. He’ll always be stomping his foot along to whatever he’s playing
His voice needs rest. ROCK ON DAVE!!!
Dave Grohl rules.
That is all.
Dave is a great story teller. Allt he guys in his band seem really nice.
I really wanna listen to taylor's piano version of best of you now
one of the biggest rockstars out there yet so humble
He is something else. Truly amazing.
I love it that this video was uploaded on June 23rd, my sister's birthday. She maaaaay be the biggest Grohl fan of all times. Cheers, Jo. I love you.
I friggin love this man!!
Truly reflective of someone who just enjoys what he does
He's just perfect!
The foot kick when he admits he was stoned is priceless.
Taylor for the rescue!!!!
Yas
This video is the best, the best, the best, the best, the best of you(tube).
Solid story 10/10.
Lmao the best of you (tube)
Saw him in 1996 or 1997 at Thurles, Dave is one of the chosen few that science or god has picked to entertain us for a long time! Science bless you Dave :D
I could dig sittin in for the jam session,brilliant artist!
Dave is the Best of Foo! :D
Dave Grohl is our generation's Paul McCartney.
No, that would be noel gallagher.
Taylor Humes I get that he’s a Brit but no just no
Lol I got an ad for nevermind with smells like teen spirit playing before this.
Dave is just the coolest guy in the music industry.
Last of the true Rock artists.
Somewhere Kurt is smiling.
Kurt blew his own head off. I don't think he has the ability to smile anymore.
Fuck off
Fuck you hey Carlos
+peaner083 Theres nothing wrong with what he said he's Dead by Suicide he is either in Hell or for you atheist he is just gone so he is right he is not smiling either way
ItsAngell Yeah Im an atheist I myself I meant it more in a metorphorical way.
Yeah, don't let somebody ever get the best of you. Let's hit the bar!
damn this song is so hard to sing. respect to dave!! we love you man!!!
God I love this song and Dave
Absolute belter of a tune, FooFighters at the height of their powers.
Goddamit Dave, no-one comes near you because you've mastered superstardom with humbleness, the juxtaposition no-one else in the music industry can do as naturally as you....
I love Dave Grohl 🤩🙃 Who’s with me?🤗👍💃💃
Originally simple complicated and honest, all at once. He was born to resist all that is in-humane. Thank-you, I say when, Dave.
It’s great to see real musicians actually singing and playing their instruments.
I like to think he lives & carried Kurt’s spirit on .. dude loved him to bits you can tell in his voice.
Never seeing a response from us. But my entire family of seven loves you. Keep up the good love.
His voice is nice in warm in this version
We need him to stick around. Love this guy in all his incarnations.
Dave grohl is fucking awesome!
Dave Grohl...cuter than a duck in a hat and amazingly gifted.
damnit! Like I needed another reason to love Taylor Swift.
Ikr
I just threw up in my mouth
Lol
Michael Bounds. Lmaoooo
There's no volume settings in the world to get this loud enough.
Agreed
