I was at a Foo Fighters concert where Dave fell off the stage and broke his leg. But the concert didn’t end there. He went to the hospital, and in the meantime, the rest of the band entertained the crowd. Later, he came back, sat down on a chair with a guitar in his hands, and finished the concert. That shows the dedication this band has to their fans.

Yep you're right, a quote from XFM: "That's the thing with lyrics, you never want to give away specifics, because it's nice for people to have their own idea or interpretation of the song. But, you know, everyone's been fucked over before and I think a lot of people feel fucked over right now and they're not getting what they were promised, and so something to do with that." As you say, still speaks to today.

@@Huddle_House56 the restrictions are to stop people from dying and this disease from getting worse mate. Rich people don't want lockdowns, they want everyone back at work making money for them whether it costs people their lives or not. The only reason the state is mandating restrictions is because they don't want it getting out of control and threatening economic stability, not because they care about people (or there'd be more support to help people do the right thing). So it's up to us to do what we can to keep ourselves and other people safe, and avoid this getting dragged out and making things harder for everyone

Nope, Kurt wasn't as good a singer. He was an artist that had a voice that encapsulated a time. But his contemporaries we're much better singers. Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Scott Weiland, Ed Roland, even Dave Grohl were all more talented vocalists than Kurt. What Kurt had was a feeling, his voice carried all the angst of youth and a sadness beyond his years. You could feel what he felt when he sang. But god damn songs like lake of fire sound like nails on a chalk board.

And Dave Grohl has to one of the greatest musicians in rock. He will be one of the very rare ( if any others ) people that will be in the Rock n Roll hall of Fame for 3 different bands. Nirvana, Foo Fighters and even though he was only with them for a year, Queens of the Stone Age.

Dave Grohl, the lead singer, was the drummer for Nirvana. He wasn't an original member, but joined in 1990 a year before they released the album Nevermind and became insanely popular. He was their drummer until Nirvana disbanded after Kurts passing in 1994. That same year he would form Foo Fighters. I'm not a fan of Screamo or screaming in Metal, but I definitely enjoy this style of screaming or growl (whatever you call it lol) in Alt/Grunge/Indie Rock and Dave Grohl's is easily one of my favorites. Highly recommend reacting to "Everlong" by The Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl's guitar riff in it is one of the most addicting sounds I've ever heard. Very first riff I learned to play too

What I get from this: In intelligence tests, one of the lower level types of questions is to show several items and say, "One of these things is not like the others" and ask you to identify it. Society pushes us to be just like certain patterns, and is sadly successful at it. "Be like this, not like your real self. Don't think independently, don't be your unique self, but follow and do as you're told." The protagonist refuses and chooses to think and act independently, "not like the others." He defies the efforts to mold him into a cog in the machine. But by the end, he's saying, what if I told you YOU'RE not like the others? Try that on. What would it be like to say and do what you really believe? To be your real authentic self? It's an invitation.

They do but they have to obscure some (most) videos during the editing or it gets blocked by KZbin. If you look close you can see the video playing in the background with a still image overlaid on it.

You guys should do a reaction video to Dave Grohl's documentary "Sound City". It's about him taking a custom soundboard built by a scientist or something and putting it in his own studio. The soundboard was used to create many platinum albums from Tom Petty, Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac to name a very small few. He invites some of the artists back to his studio to record new songs and a lot of the are really good.

You are kinda jumping into songs from albums way down the line, you should check out some of the original songs, the song that started it all "I'll Stick Around", others are Big Me, Monkey Wrench, This is a Call, For all the Cows. Stuff Dave was writing while he was the drummer in Nirvana.

It is a catchy hook no doubt, but the lyrics are actually kinda deep eg. "I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy". Anyway, I appreciate your honest opinion, not everyone is gonna love every song

The next time you visit the 80's you need to put The Fixx on your radar (white board 😁). Red Skies At Night or Stand Or Fall is a good start. Other great songs by The Fixx are Are We Ourselves, Saved By Zero, Secret Separation, Driven Out, Less Cities More Moving People, Reach The Beach and One Thing Leads To Another.
