Austin City Limits Celebrates 40 Years: "Two Headed Dog"

[@GhoulishGage]

Roky is so underrated! More people should know about his great work! I wish the Foo Fighters would play a cover of Night of the Vampire!

[@benmercer4942]

People that love Psych do and that's enough for me, 13th floor elevators changed the game and will always be remembered, his solo stuff is left for the extra curious

[@skinnbonestv]

Dave's voice fits so nice in this song!

[@jeffloucks2120]

I lost interest in FF's after the self titled but totally agree here. He does an amazing job on this.

[@glenncanale9225]

One of the best covers of one of the best rock songs.

[@Niek67]

This is fucking rock 'n roll, man. We need more of these artists and more of these songs. I hope Roky is doing fine.

[@terrra_2024]

This comment did not age well 😞

[@mikewarden57]

YEP!!

[@trashedbodomguy]

Man’s dead dumbass

[@gerardd8432]

They fucking killed it! A worthy rendition for the great Roky!

[@mhwinder8]

This vid needs so many views. Almost insulting its view count is so low.

[@cheysanx5512]

RIP Roky... Thanks for Everything

[@peterstar2023]

Great cover. Roky is a legend. Not easy to step into his shoes and do this song.

[@MaxWeider666]

yep. best cover song ever ❤

[@iwillnevergetone5]

everything about this video is perfect

[@grungetea]

I want this on Spotify 🔥

[@derunsympath]

Bet Chris had a blast playing this!

[@Damothelegendthebest]

That was fucking perfectly performed

[@BigFatCock0]

It's not a live vocal sorry to burst anyone's bubble.

[@alexflippo2272]

Shout out to Roky, this is a great tribute

[@kneapoe51]

Foo Fighters do a bang-up job of covering a Classic by 13th Floor Elevators. Roky Erickson.....a man who is WAY underrated. Except in Austin. :) They know damned well who he is & what he accomplished there. ;)) Great Music town & Show. Life 4 me wouldn't be the same without Austin City Limits. Started watching it as a teenager in 70's & was exposed to great music I never would have heard about, at that age, anyways. 40 MORE YEARS!!!!

[@mux164]

i only found out about this song from watching the austin episode of sonic highways, this is such a killer song, your a genius roky

[@chrissims5904]

This is the best version I have herd of this song!

[@WhiskyTrenchRiders]

Roky forever!

[@scottcerniglia2119]

dave grohl is the greatest musician ever!! Sonic Highways should be a standard video course in any music program...Damn i love this guy!!!

[@trashedbodomguy]

Terry kath

[@TiwazGoudsnor]

This roky album is craaaazy. Love it for yeaaars

[@leeyan9049]

What a badass cover, man!

[@RebelThoughts82]

R.I.P Roky!

[@HumanBill67]

Superb cover. I'm sure Roky loved it. I'd like to hear the Foos cover Bloody Hammer.

[@davestone4468]

That's what I am talking about!!! Love it!!!

[@TheTernie]

absolutely amazing! heart beats faster, body keeps moving.. thanks Roky for the song, Foos for the performance. top!

[@chrisscott6961]

This song is amazing!!! Chris is such and underated guitar player

[@mikewarden57]

Man.......this sounds great!!

[@charlieyun2385]

The first "band" I was ever in was two kids in a living room. The singer (me) couldn't carry a tune; the guitarist only knew how to play barre chords; and between the two of us we only knew three songs: "You're Gonna Miss Me," "Two Headed Dog," and an original that we still couldn't play right. The band was a disaster, but that amateur guitarist is the man who introduced me to Roky Erickson. Needless to say this song holds a very special place in my development as a songwriter (who, sadly, is still a terrible performer.) Kudos to the Foos for doing it justice.

[@raindogred]

agreed..foos tore this song a new one.i was in a band that covered those 2 songs..think we also had a crack at white faces too. good old days

[@Jason9612]

WOW, perfect cover - the Foos never cease to impress me with their awesomeness!!!

[@TheGavio93]

Well, I won't be getting any sleep tonight.... That was awesome!!!

[@TheSageThrasher]

Amazing cover! Gonna break out The Evil One now...

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

Where the fuck have I been? This is brilliant! Thank's Rocky, Thank you Dave for seeing IT :)

[@priceyblackwinter2338]

Honestly an insanely good cover. Wasn’t expecting it but I’m happily surprised

[@zaiux]

Bring this to Spotify!

[@SkJames]

une reprise tellement parfaite !! merci

[@brandonbrown1291]

Absolutely fucking KILLED IT!!!!!!! Amazing

[@Dave.rtz.]

This song Is so .. Foo fighters

[@puresalemguitars3910]

Great cover .... Roky is an amazing songwriter. Would have loved to hear them take on BLOODY HAMMER .... PureSalem Guitars.

[@CivilHard0ut]

This is too good

[@klasespenkrona8288]

The best of two worlds

[@jamesussery7788]

Damd if they didn't do it justice ! Alright!!

[@pedroguedes9478]

great !!!!

[@johnnypark5041]

B-side please

[@chadkassem5881]

Not crazy about foo fighter but they rock this classic Roky song! Also saw them play with the great Tony joe White on TV.

[@MarkSmith-uz5lr]

Loved it!

[@kahmaarx]

And of course that I got here through Sonic Highways ;)

[@justinrector03]

YES!!!

[@MaxWeider666]

лучший кавер на Роки!

[@lrsdjsa]

Kick ass!

[@IronMonkee]

I swear I felt like I was going Insane asking if anyone heard of roky, was he an imagination? Was he a fever dream? No he's just like the wind.. forever

[@randomguy781]

very cool cover

[@jfishization]

New fan here for Foo after seeing them on this doc Austin C limits on the tube...kick a.s.s....! 1967 time warp! Just a babe when this was released. Short hair and all. No pubes....TMI....

[@randomguy781]

If you have HBO definitely check out their series called "Sonic Highways."

[@jfishization]

No grey ones yet at least. Old fart loyal to the classics. Foo is refreshing.

[@jfishization]

No grey ones yet at least. Old fart loyal to the vinyl. Foo is refreshing.

[@algee8415]

Wow. 1000/6 Thumbs up.

[@imp011]

This is fucking awesome!

[@coreyfellows9420]

.....bad ass

[@DaveBits]

Great performance but the sound was obviously prerecorded (@ 2:22 Taylor is playing on the hi-hat, but you here the crash)

[@celestialdive2899]

nice

[@Nexusaur]

Most likely they did several takes (notice how many cameras are used, yet none are seen), cutting together a video using footage from all the takes; and then used the audio from the best take.

[@andytheriault9383]

Nexusaur ARE YOU SUGGESTING THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME THEY PLAY THROUGH THE SONG?? NO NO!

[@jimmyfabs78]

Whenever a band makes a music video they are never actually playing, just playing along to their own song being played through a pa.

[@samaj2001]

Thinking logically, look at the cut a split second before 2m 22s... Taylor is playing the crash cymbal, and is in all cuts preceding that. It seems more evident the director or whoever decided to edit in another piece of footage (for whatever reason) that happened to be Taylor on the hi-hats.

[@suspirotube]

Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulllll

[@elliswilloughby2382]

Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins you fucking legend.

[@CrazyBear65]

Well done like a one pound pork chop.

[@leemark63]

Ironic! His voice is Roky! 🤟

[@gorham296]

this was not good....it was awsome. Finally someone who does Roky´s songs the right way.

[@thomasinda9802]

b-sidessssssss

[@CarlitosUrban]

Massacre!!!!!!!

[@ghostrider2664]

Badly need to do a studio version of this song. The song doesn't have enough decent covers

[@indierockr1601]

This is what I wanted from Sonic Highways. Actual musical influences from the cities or covers like this. Not just adding lyrics inspired by the cities and a guest solo.

[@faridjohanne5597]

Fucking brilliant

[@SHENDOH]

ROKY

[@slow-mo_moonbuggy]

They really should have done "slip inside this house" by the Elevators instead. This is great, but slip would have blown minds.

[@RebelliousHutterite2]

Are they going to release this recording on an upcoming album?????? They need to.

[@BigHumz155]

It's being shipped as a disc alongside the Sonic Highways album, for whoever pre-ordered it off the Foo Fighter's official website

[@TheYardvark]

Humza Ahmed is this true? Where did you here this, could you explain? Like maybe a single is being shipped or like a second disk with s cover from each city? Now I'm all excited. I preordered the vinyl from ff so I if this is true I hope I still get it! Hah

[@BigHumz155]

Yeah, it was on the Foo Fighters website a while ago, they had limited supplies though, fingers crossed we get them I suppose 😀

[@BigHumz155]

And no, you get a vinyl with the album and a sleeve picked at random

[@TheYardvark]

Soooo. No bonus CD for me? :( sorry lol did you mean it was a separate purchase or it comes WITH the preordered album?

[@billlord3471]

I actually enjoy their cover more than the original

[@weakbrainthrombosis]

dave grohls oysters finally dropped. he really went for it on the vocals, which i guess you pretty much have to do on this song.

[@vincentmartinez7527]

😷😷😷....2021....😵....😎

[@Orieus]

what13th floor album is this off of? fuckin sick!

[@whatwouldbrianwilson]

its not, its from Roky in the 80s.

[@charlieyun2385]

+Orieus It's from Roky's solo album, "The Evil One."

[@raindogred]

from wiki..In 1974, after having been released from state hospital, Erickson formed a new band which he called "Bleib alien", Bleib being an anagram of Bible and/or German for "stay," and "Alien" being a pun on the German word allein ("alone") - the phrase in German therefore being "remain alone." His new band exchanged the psychedelic sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators for a more hard rock sound that featured lyrics on old horror film and science fiction themes. "Two Headed Dog (Red Temple Prayer)" (produced by The Sir Douglas Quintet's Doug Sahm and inspired by Vladimir Demikhov's 1950s head transplant experiments) was released as a single.

[@TobcioccLeyton]

so then show Roky

[@raindogred]

Foo fighters doing a proper song sound good for a change

[@Velhotedocarmo]

[@richardgonzales4815]

This gives Me a whole new respect for the Foo Fighters . Sure : I still think Rolling Stone has wasted wayyy too much paper on their hum drum mugs and mundane musings ; coat tail hangers extraordinaire ; side saddle sack riders that they are ... but : These frail fragments of what once was a greater movement or motive : Have done good this one time . I’ll leave it at that .

[@scottcerniglia2119]

Kurt died so this man could shine

[@Orieus]

i wouldnt put it that way.............kurts music smokes the foos, i like the foos, but they aint no nirvana or every wiil be

[@aleouterelo6631]

Orieus exactly, because Nirvana musically speaking, was NOTHING compared to Foo Fighters.

[@Alejandro-df3jh]

No me gusta foo fighters ni Dave Grohl pero esto está muy bien.

[@yazbit]

Two-headed dog, two headed dog I’ve been working in the Kremlin With a two-headed dog Peace brought back, bought back Relaxed be nyet brought back Did you dry her out Wind her out like jerky? To me she’s healed to attack Two-headed dog, two headed dog I’ve been working in the Kremlin With a two-headed dog Children nailed to the cross Pain does not look our hell Certainly is not a spell Sweet waste from a well Two-headed dog, two headed dog I’ve been working in the Kremlin With a two-headed dog Winds quiet in the night Her body just blows messiah Sickening sweet sight left or right Is all right does not please my appetite Two-headed dog, two headed dog I’ve been working in the Kremlin With a two-headed dog

[@steveflynn8311]

If only they had Roky writing all their songs..they might be an ok band:)

[@davygrohlington5576]

if only god gave you some brain, you wouldn't comment so much shit.

[@raindogred]

if only you didn't have your head so far up Dave Grohl's arse you wouldn't be offended by what was obviously great humour.

[@blikbonen]

Decent, but Roky definitely does a better job on vocals.

[@ogjdavis8425]

good cover but grohl cant snarl like roky!

[@ChuckHipolitho]

Unnecessary.

[@joshuapbrown]

???

[@randomguy781]

unnecessary defines your comment.

[@fatcoin13]

po cara hahahahaahaha

[@Anathematic667]

I normally hate Dave in FF.

[@nosuitsgiven]

Pfft The Foo Fighters not doing Rocky’s song justice. So glad I moved away from Austin when all the idiots started moving there and ruining the place. RIP Roky!
