Dave Grohl thanks Guns'n'Roses for cancelling the show so they could be there.
Now with English and Portuguese (Brazil) subtitles available.
Rock in Rio Lisboa 2004

[@mamaefaleicomfome2413]

And now, November 2017 they played Paradise City together lol

[@TheLeatheryman]

And now they are all best buds.

[@vlazurah789]

Dave looked like a different person in this era, before the lengthy hair and beard came

[@christianalmada298]

And today they played together fuck yeah!!!

[@renatoapart]

Dave is one of my favourite artists..I love Foo Fighters

[@themarginalizedproject]

Hi axl, Hi, Axl! Where's Axl?

[@jimmythegentconway8690]

The Marginalized hahaha

[@aPandorasboxofmusic]

I came looking for this comment 😂

[@Wolfy808]

I was half-expecting "Hi Axl!"

[@TheRaptor227]

I love how even after all these years Dave is still sticking up for Kurt.

[@TheROTSEN7]

me encanta Dave Grohl pero jamas va a salir de la sombra de los Guns,nunca habra otra banda que los supere...

[@geovanialexander1335]

Queen????

[@MrBrownstone1992]

Axl Rose isn't racist.. he even has a black dude in his band as a drummer... his favourite singer is gay (Freddie Mercury) and even sang with Elton John. That song is the way he feels about immagration, he was young and naive back then!

[@minutemaidlemonwithice9359]

And his body guy is black

[@pamwilliams9458]

So what he shouldn't have said the N word that was wrong😳

[@MrSilveris]

Dave Grohl é foda nunca perde o humor!

[@NothingLastsForever3]

Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters will never compare to old GnR, AND new GnR.

[@Amstercam0130]

The vast majority of big bands are more then comparable to “new” Guns N’ Roses.

[@nclsrfn]

i love this man.

[@enqorePL]

Thank you for subtitles ;)

[@btowel]

Both Foo Fighters and Guns are Hall of Fame bands, but I think Foo gets the nod for longevity and number of hits.

[@sebsidnell1716]

btowel Guns N Roses were bigger than Foo Fighters were/are. Besides had Guns N Roses been radio friendly like the Foo Fighters they would have more "hits"

[@Aqua.man045]

Are kidding me? Guns N' Roses are more radio friendly. The had a number 1 one hit song in 1988 on the pop charts. Foo Fighters haven't had one enter the top 10 since 1999.

[@sebsidnell1716]

Guns N Roses had explicit or violent lyrics in the vast majority of their songs and many of their best songs are too long for radio

[@Aqua.man045]

Seb Sidnell Not really. They can censor songs that have curse words and edit ones that are too long, but you probably don't know about that technology.

[@sebsidnell1716]

Pretty tied up, One in a million, get in the ring, My michelle, used to love her, back off bitch, double talkin jive. All incredibly difficult to censor, most impossible. If you edited down estranged, coma, breakdown then you may aswell not have the song, wouldn't work at all

[@guitoorbenchi]

look at where Axl is now, and look at where Dave is now

[@yourkidkabaap]

Lol, does Dave's beef with Axl go back to the early 90's?

[@DavidFarmer96]

Something like that...

[@HEELMuirhead]

yourkidkabaap Goes back to 1992, when Nirvana and Guns N Roses had a feud.

[@ryanlaking3033]

+yourkidkabaap 90s

[@mehariw4789]

+yourkidkabaap "HI AXL HI AXL HI AXL" - Dave Grohl at MTV awards after Nirvana played Lithium

[@piteusx8440]

Cobain was a depressive. Axl is an asshole. Axl disrespected Nirvana during the MTV music awards. Actually, Axl disrespected everyone back in the day. Everyone wanted to kick his ass.

[@Suka00]

@09rja how the hell are u one of the highest rated comments?? i mean i know grohl doesnt do the technical stuff that comes with a lead guitarist but damn that man can write a song...he can write amazing melodies and his music has been consistent with big hits!

[@cierra7246]

I love how he dedicated "Stacked Actors" to them, the song about fake assholes in Hollywood. I see what you did there Dave. xD

[@sebsidnell1716]

cierra cable A lot more apt description of Dave

[@cierra7246]

Seb Sidnell Haha okay. Dave Grohl breaks his leg mid-show and comes back to finish that show the same day, goes out drinking with a group of mine workers who were fans and trapped underground for weeks, donates money and time to special causes, helps a struggling mother pay for her college tuition because he overheard her talking about her financial struggles in a diner, but ya know he's a fake asshole. What are you, a die-hard Buzz fan? Give it a rest m8.

[@sebsidnell1716]

I'm sorry did I say he was a bad person? I'm referring to his being the biggest fan of every star on the planet attitude. We know all of Axl's demons, he only knows honesty.

[@sebsidnell1716]

Being nice to everyone is phony. That's fine, it's smart for your career and avoids conflict. But that makes the title of that song more fitting to Dave than Axl

[@cierra7246]

Seb Sidnell Dude, it's his personality. He's been nice to everyone since way before he was famous. He's literally just a nice guy, no phoniness. And are you kidding me? Axl's a huge fucking fake. He treated Kurt like shit the whole time he knew about him and then after he died put on a goddamn Nirvana shirt and started talking about how he was such an inspiration like that would change something. If that isn't fake I don't know what is. And Dave doesn't always avoid conflict btw. He stood up against Courtney when she was running her mouth.

[@axlrosefan100]

Axl Rose will not have to answer for someone so despicable ... axl rose You are the greatest

[@rdhaynie]

what do you mean he cant sing?! he has an amazing voice

[@appetitefordestruction6899]

Yeah!! He’s vocal range is 6 octaves even bigger than Mariah Carey. He’s a legend, and even tho i like nirvana too, i can say that Axl is more talented& better frontman than Kurt Cobain. Axl is unbelievably amazing

[@jrmizzgaminglounge]

Dale Jr guitar. Thats badass.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

Dale Jr actually gave him that guitar and a day or 3 after Dale Sr died. Dave played that guitar for solidarity.

[@RitaMendesMakeup]

Dave Grohl is GOD

[@inxs5860]

He looks like a child of 10 when fights with a friend in the room.

[@minutemaidlemonwithice9359]

Pretty sure a god can play gnr songs. Dave sux!

[@indgiu]

beautiful guitar

[@AutumnAsh81]

guns and roses is not light years away from foo fighters, or nirvana. simple fact, other than opinions, is that foo is still around, wheres guns?

[@GrungeRockerPolish]

Axl is eating bigmacs in mcdonald :D

[@lovrocar3938]

AutumnAsh81 Right here bigger than ever

[@mr.mistyeyed8481]

selling out stadiums

[@appetitefordestruction6899]

Oh they r playing paradise city with dave grohl lol

[@lulizin]

ROFL he trying to play sweet child o'mine was just AWESOME!!!

[@matthewgilbert8632]

axl axl will you be the god father to our child

[@LiamMusicPerson]

"Ladies and gentlemen..........hello...." Now that's how every rock performance should start. Also, the beginning bits of his speech reminded me of Rock n Roll by Led Zep (a song that Foos covered)

[@pascoalcoolico5619]

Poo Fighters.

[@GNRDisturbedSlash]

in that song Axl was literally singing about how he felt. artists tend to sing about shit in their lives and that's what axl did, the content of the song was from axls experience in l.a, being kicked out of stores for no reason by immigrents then because of how he looked, the police part comes from his life in Indiana, if you read Duff's book he backs Axl on this song. if someone were to write a song with this content now, I can bet the backlash would be much less severe.

[@ianpan0102]

dave youre a great drummer for nirvana, but maybe you should just keep your mouth shut coz guns n roses aint the thing youre ready to talk about

[@joeylebar]

He was thanking them

[@everest88]

潘藝恩 , and umm...Dave being a drummer him self only has more talent thant all of Guns and Roses :) Even Slash....actually...not sure about slash...in my opinion he does ^~^

[@DieByTheDrop]

@unholychunk Kurt was a legend, amazing songwriter and a great guy. He didnt leave his daughter because he was murdered.

[@GNRDisturbedSlash]

also Kurt and Nirvana were grunge, grunge was anti-establishment, at that point GN' R were the biggest band on the planet, and, to kurt, were the establishment, so he did as he should, he insulted the establishment (and gained A LOT of publicity for it) as much as Kurt made it out to be that he hated the fame, I doubt that. his actions speak other wise. Izzy from Guns hated fame and publicity to, his actions speak much closer to that state of mind.

[@pr000w]

I love Dave.

[@allen_thealpha]

i love that dale earnhardt jr guitar he's using

[@Malombado]

@jepc92003 Oh yes, but in the other hand, what exactly you mean about noise and screaming?There are a lotta music with Kurt's scream, mostly in his famous music "Smel like(...)", you hear screams from the Music Oh Darling by Beatles. There's no problem with screaming(good screaming)

[@fmw00]

Yeah they really rock, check them out on The Hills or any other soft outlet

[@RebelThoughts82]

Dave Grohl is actually good friends with Slash. He's really mocking Axl Rose here who everyone hates.

[@DirkMcgee]

@09rja Dude, who's saying Grohl is a guitar player? He's a kick-ass drummer who has musical talent in different fields. He plays simple songs on guitar, so what? He's not the only one in the world. Not many people can say they've been in THREE successful bands.

[@rihardspaegle]

I laughed so hard when Dave said "Here's a song called Stacked Actors and it's for them!". Love his humor.

[@BenGordonBITCHSLAP]

@09rja By this point I think I'm able to agree with you. You're right in saying that there aren't any guitar gods anymore, and also saying that Dave is more suited to drums than he is to guitar is true. You may disagree with me here, but Matt Bellamy of Muse could be considered a god, but that's debatable. I think that with the recent decline in 3 piece bands though, I'm happy to see anyone pick up a guitar and smash away at it (even if its not sophisticated), just as long as its not bad pop...

[@andrewwinslow9315]

Awesome Dale Jr. Guitar Dave!

[@GNRDisturbedSlash]

@Riffelinn23 sorry. i ment best song as in quality. not their most popular and well know, now that i know was Smells Like Teen Spirit.

[@GNRDisturbedSlash]

is-correct, was-incorrect. no matter how much you try to argue it, Guns was with out any argument one of the best rock bands to grace the charts. you can hate them personally all you want, it doesn't change anything. also on a intresting note, Mr Grohl has no problem with slash, duff and the rest of the old guns members, he even played on Slashs first solo album on same song as duff

[@brybbe]

dave grohl, a natural showman!

[@hamgification]

Axl asked Nirvana to do warm up for them - to do warm up for a "big rock stars", the one that Kurt and Nirvana hated most. It was cheeky from GnR to do that when Nirvana was already famous enough, they didn't needed to do warm ups. then they started to say jokes about them, and then there was that famous argument called "will you be godfather of our child"... But you have to admit, that it was cowardly from Duff to stay in front of Krist with three bodyguards and say "i wanna have fight".

[@johnyboy6405]

Obrigado pela tradução, mas há muitos pormenores que precisam ser corrigidos.

[@DjWarner182]

@MegaProjectpat your completely right but GNR definatley isn't hair metal. they are more hard rock than hair metal if anything.

[@TheRamsesII]

@sweetfly66 agreed. although, to be fair, NO ONE could have followed the original GnR and would have looked pathetic trying to imitate them...so, therefore, they still stand alone.

[@thindz91]

I like that he dedicated Stacked Actors to them ;)

[@scast8015]

Kurt might of but Axl starting talking shit about Kurt first because Nirvana wiped everybody out. Plus Axl was saying some harsh shit about Kurt and his family. Axl is not a very well liked person because he's not a very good person.

[@ScratchRockLTD]

@leopardy211 I have a few words for you to think about, the first set is 'Wasting Light' and the second is 'Chinese Democracy'. Once you've thought about it a little bit, then we'll talk.

[@rozzie101]

Awesome awesome, its nice to see people are still taking shots @ G 'N R. =) The Foo Fights rock BTW

[@beglebite]

i could honestly agree with that. people think of axl when they think of the voice of gnr, but yes your right, this new one is not gnr. hell i would have been okay with the singer they had at the hall of fame

[@degitaarheld]

@Jugador96 yeah and dave grohl and slash did even a song together called: watch this on the album slash.

[@healthypanda]

@MasaConfusa Foo Fighters have been around for 15 years. He's doing just fine.

[@MrBrownstone1992]

Like I said Kurt had a kid and a wife, and MANY fans who supported him yet he took the easy way out. I think it's pretty safe to say he is a bad influence no matter how good his music may be.

[@mtsn]

@09rja he's not supposed to know and/or play GNR songs in his own band's concert.

[@troglodyte_therapist]

Dave Grohl didn't like Guns N Roses in the sense that he was buddies with them, but he did like their music. Axl loved Nirvana before the fight, and loved their music, even while hating Cobain. See how neat that works?

[@XClubbraxal44]

yeah really and you guys cant say that he was one of the best entertainers to have ever lived. the music guns created was amazing and you have to atleast give respect to those who were once the best

[@dreadbet]

so much irony and sarcasm for one fuckin great guy I love ghrol and fighter's

[@NothingLastsForever3]

@coolins112 no, they are not overrated.

[@Butterpants1987]

@TheWittyChappy youre telling me the UYI albums didnt sell? believe me, they sold quite a bit. 7x platinum sounds like a lot of sales to me.

[@SuperMegaFl0yd]

@WuffPakk7 Justin Beiber sells out stadiums as well, that doesn't mean that he's better than the Foo Fighters.

[@matafuko]

the rivalry between Grohl and Axl Rose goes back to the Nirvana days. It's an ongoing saga....

[@121crew6]

So the manager at Pep Boys has a band now? Cool.

[@MalachorWraith]

@j1001s27sw If he really wanted to, I'm sure he could but he doesn't care. Btw, he wrote every song and played every instrument on their first album. Drums, bass, guitar vocals, he one man banned that shit.

[@GergelAni]

Dave Rocks, man! :)

[@inxs5860]

He looks like a child of 10 when fights with a friend in the room.

[@tommisabre666]

Fun fact: Chris Shiflet turned a GNR audition down, and chose Foo Fighters instead :)

[@1vespa]

@The13thflower there isn't a big difference between Portuguese spoken in Portugal or in Africa or America. Grammatically it is the same, although you have some differences in writing a few words. I say a few and I'm right, I' m comparing hundreds with hundreds of thousands! The differences, as you said, are at speech level, I mean different accents, THAT doesn't make a language different, you need much more than that. (Cont.)

[@jedijud]

Kurt asked axl to be a godfather to his child not meaning it and axl took it the wrong way.When in truth duff was one of the last people to see kurt before he died.He shared a flight with him to seattle from los angles.After kurt ditched a rehab center.

[@linder516]

DOH, dave can play the freaking phone book. He was being SARCASTIC!

[@stonerh]

@TheWittyChappy But haven't sold anywhere near as many records.. probably even both bands put together haven't sold as many as Guns.

[@crystalgail9872]

That dale jr guitar tho

[@iLLmaticV3]

Stacked Actors PERFECT song choice Too!

[@falconserek]

1:45 made my day.

[@grychnel]

It seems more like an Axl vs the world thing, from what I've seen from a lot of bands and organizers.

[@rpaquette77]

@TheWittyChappy two huge bands that surpassed GNR? in what way exactly? the two bands he was in combined havent sold as many records as Appetiite for destruction. 28 million and counting...... hes been in two bands that changed music i will agree but lets not get carried away. GNR is a worldwide band

[@FlechFisher]

@GNRjeff plus, when the feud beetwen kurt and axl was a current ishue, in a gig axl decided to play teen spirit just to knock them, and all the bandmates played, showing that not only they dont do anything about axls actions, but they contribute to them aswell...... see what i mean?

[@WayneWiblin]

The whole Nirvana vs Guns N Roses is so early 90's, get over it. Nobody can deny a good song when they hear it no matter what camp it comes from

[@bobcheese4000]

@09rja That's the point, Dave and Nirvana have a history with axl rose, so dave was taking the piss out of them. That's why he didnt play it right.

[@stonerh]

@SuperBigcheese123 What does that even mean? More "credited"? I like Nirvana.. got nothing against them at all. I was just pointing out that Guns had a HUGE impact on the music scene when they first appeared, and have had more hits, more weeks in the charts and sold more albums than Nirvana and still get played on the radio as much as, and are still just as popular today as Nirvana. I just wasn't sure how Nirvana "surpassed" GNR?

[@LeidseMorgueplein]

@sweetfly66 I see you don´t get me...I´m gonna explain it in a different way, look: I do think that musical complexity is the benchmark for what is good, but that doesn´t mean that simple songs are bad, in fact, a few of the most known songs in history are truly simple, and I really like many of them(knockin on heavens door, louie louie, etc...).It´s just that I personally prefer more complex songs. And I do have a lot to learn, that´s for sure, but I´d say you have even more to learn than me.

[@jepc92003]

@Malombado 1st Beatles, 2nd U2, 3rd Nirvana maybe, i use 2 like more heavy rock but ever since im a musician i have a bter taste 4 melody instead of noise

[@milkroll]

it was over anticipated too, i work in a cd store and it doesnt really sell

[@troglodyte_therapist]

Thing is, Kurt/Courtney initiated each incident. Kurt could have respectfully declined the invitation, but instead publicly bashed the band after they tried to help kickstart his music career. And then, Courtney sarcastically asked Axl to be Frances' godfather, and things just went off from there. Axl has made mistakes throughout his life, but I think his handling with Kurt was not his fault and would have never came to part if Kurt hadn't been so immature.

[@Brahier9312]

The crowd didn't even know he was pissing on Guns and roses. Especially that one chick clapping with a big smile on her face.

[@skoogy7]

@H2HOtex two words: Chinese democracy, and five more: Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace

[@alesyaerm9013]

Axl is the best rock band front man just the way he IS. And GnR was just greatest band, they gave a lot of emotions to people. True hard rock...

[@MrBrownstone1992]

Axl will never apologise, I do agree with you he's an asshole. But he is one amazing singer/poet and he knows it and uses it to his advantage by not taking shit from anyone. Rose grew up pretty rough too, he had been drinking heavily, taking drugs, he's been depressed too, but he never really complained about it, he wasn't weak like Kurt. People think all rockstars are suicidal thanks to Kurt.

[@stonerh]

@TheWittyChappy Well, Foo Fighters yeah, I'd agree with that, but not Nirvana.. Nevermind was their Appetite. Their other two albums didn't have the success of Nevermind. Guns had both the number one and number two spot on the album charts with the UYI's, first band to do so since the Beatles.. so I wouldn't just say it was off one album. But the Foo's have had enough albums now to establish a consistent success.

[@inthemosh61]

All of what he says is correct, and in the Mick Wall autobiography of Axl Rose. Kurt (and Krist) talked shit in an underhand sarcastic way, that angered Axl who would reply blatantly, so Axl did look worse.

[@Sarapkers]

What les paul is this is it a custom? I love the paint on it!

[@goblinob]

@DavidCastoe In "one in a million" hes referring to street people who pester you and rob you. BUt any ways Slash is half black, Axl wears N.W.A hats in his videos, wanted to tour with Body Count and Public Enemy, and likes rap music in general. And you dont have to be a racist to know theres a difference between blacks and whites.

[@lowpowermodelife]

Joe BeeBe is his name Personal friend of mine.

[@BenGordonBITCHSLAP]

@09rja But the classic bands you said get stale after a while too, and then the kid who wanted to learn guitar and started playing Green Day because he liked their music and found it easy to play gets some jackass telling him he sucks because he can't play stairway to heaven, even though his little fingers might not be dextruous enough to play it wonders why he should even bother if he needs to have "sophistication" to be talented. That's why punk music is so great, because anyone can play it.

[@wolfstash]

He wasn't even mocking or saying anything bad about guns and roses

[@inthemosh61]

Duff and Krist had an altercation too, so it did come across as band on band. Axl should have kept Steven around, cos i reckon Steven would have got stuck in fully hahaha

[@jepc92003]

@Malombado well i respect ur opinion n even if i think they had some few melody songs, i think Nirvana did bter music overall, even FF make bter music than them, I use 2 like gnr but once I bcame a musician i liked more melody songs than screaming n noise, my fav music was definitively d 90's but i can appreciate d biggest bands from 00' like Colpdplay, LP, or The Killers along w d biggest band from now U2

[@Malombado]

@Riffelinn23 First AC/DC, Second Aerosmith, then GN'R and Nirvana
