Just like the old days! No roadies to put the cymbal stand back together! 🥁🤘

[@Xzacktly22]

Honestly, when that cymbal fell I felt something. Dave for the longest time did not play nirvana songs(I never heard him play any in 20+ yr) something about not seeing his face and just listening to the music (drums)for the latter half was something poetic

[@mathewdeering]

You can just see the joy in his face playing this. This just makes me so happy.

As the song progress you can feel that he is having fun and missing his friend. Bit by bit you can feel that he is feeling like the Dave Grohl from Nirvana. No one can play this song like Dave.

[@glasshalffull8471]

I would seriously consider Dave taking over on drums for Foo Fighters, he's still got it, Singer dies when he's drummer, Drummer dies when he's singer, that's some weird symmetry, He should at least play drums on the next album if not live, I wouldn't be surprised if Foo Fighters call it a day entirely, they were tight a.f, Rolling Stones kept going after Charlie and hopefully Foo Fighters do also, whatever happens we have a sh!t ton of music anyway.

It’s hard to imagine what was going through Dave’s mind while playing this song after so many years. Hopefully he felt good after playing since Kurt would have wanted him to keep playing again.

Fuck man, it's gotta be haunting to be playing along side the vocals of a departed friend. Just thinking about the scenario, remember how you made the song in the first place, all together, and then suddenly, one day, you find yourself playing it alone, with only the echoes from the past. This was intense in my mind.

@ghost mall I agree with Patrick. It is one of the easy ones to play. Doesn’t mean I am going to post but it really isn’t a difficult beat or fills. You could learn it in an hour.

[@coolpool1969]

@@PMurray2694 I disagree. It's not easy. Yes, technically the beat is simple enough but the way Dave played it was genius. It's actually slightly out of time. 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. It's very hard to play a wonky beat with that level of consistency (very similar to Ringo in fact).

[@Ceagles6]

@ghost mall 100% spot on. Level of difficulty doesn’t make a song. Depending on the genre there are always associated levels of difficulty. But thus is pretty easy but perfect for the song.
