Foo Fighters at the Rock Hall Induction Ceremony

The Foo Fighters kill it at the rock and roll hall of fame induction ceremony Saturday October 30th 2021

[@darinplott5186]

Dave and the Foo Fighters single handedly keeping rock and roll alive

[@lynnwright3993]

They get some help from my second most favorite band....KOL. I know, just my opinion.

[@James-kj9hw]

I dont think ive ever seen the audience sing along in inductions. Shows you how deserving they are of it.

[@patricesage331]

It's happened a few times. Not much tho. (Many performances are also not complete songs but medley also) You also don't often see actively touring supporting a very recent release being inducted either. It is something that is textbook history of music. Thats what the hall of fame is. History of music & the artists who left a mark on it. 25 years actively releasing & touring &being inducted in the midst. Not something you see alot of .

[@astonthomas6953]

Pearl Jam had the audience sing along to Better Man. Chills.

[@alexeilindes7507]

Yep he paid for the entire doge ram crew warehouse to be there. We instructed if we didn't yell at the top of of lungs every word perfectly we would all be fired. Honestly I loved Eminem and that was worth it. But tonight at midnight I worl till 8 am for fuckin 15 bucks an hour. This man should go homeless and sleep in his van.

Rush was still poppin till the end.

[@guilhermecastro4553]

@@softskullbubblebrain that was the bands worse phase, man. 2011 is the thing.

[@mipacker]

Not true. Green Day, Def Leppard and Pearl Jam were not remotely “decayed”. I have been to 7 inductions, including this one, and performances are wildly inconsistent, but most are awesome nonetheless. Problem is seldom do the classic lineups perform together. Chicago, Journey, Kiss, NWA, etc etc. LLCoolJ was excellent with Eminem and JayLo. my personal favorites were the zombies, nirvana with Joan Jett, cat stevens, rush and deep purple.

[@CenterThePendulum]

@@mipacker The singers, man. As much as I love Pearl Jam and have seen them countless times, as with a lot of bands listed (and the HOF ceremonies televised or on youtube), Ed has traded dynamics for character in timbre. It’s the most fragile element and a lot of them struggle by induction age. I guess rap gets a free pass because the instrument isn’t challenged. And LL Cool J is a better celebrity than actual hip-hop artist. “Most of your fans wear high heels.” Cannibus nailed it.

[@CenterThePendulum]

@@softskullbubblebrain 95/96? You are alone in this universe on that opinion. All others who thought that died before Colour and Shape released.

[@erich8955]

Man Dave's voice is rough. I've seen em numerous times and you can tell he's on tour right now cuz his voice is ragged. Still the best frontman in rock right now but time is taking it's toll on his vocal chords.

[@michaelfrazia4569]

I saw them open for the stones over 20 years ago...his voice was just as rough...its my only problem with the group...his vocals are never smooth live..even when he was young. I went back and listened to wings in the 70s to hear them live.mccartneys voice at the same age as I saw Dave was incredible live ...and that was with technology in 76...and Paul was in the middle of a huge world tour. mccartney is mccartney for a reason..in his prime there was noone better...you can love him or hate him , but there is no denying his talent...his vocals at 79 obviously are completely diminished, but I saw Dave in his early 30s..his vocals were horrible live and I love his stuff and have a great respect for him...I have seen smaller shows where he sings much better. I think he just gets into it at big shows and just let's it fly without caring much about the quality of the vocals...more of an emotional release I suppose . so when I listen to this in his 50s, for better or worse this was exactly what he sounded like live as a young man. nonetheless I am happy for him because I always loved paul for starting from scratch after the beatles..renting 2 buses and touring universities in England without playing any beatles stuff..just really starting from scratch and eventually building his new group to a stadium act...he set the template for sting, Phil Collins, and now Dave grohl among others who went solo after huge bands and made a 2nd career...congratulations to dave..he deserves it..love his music

[@hacksawhavoc7807]

I'm not sure if dave has stopped smoking which also can't be helping. I think his voice is similar to before but it's clear he gets out of breath quicker and can't hold notes as long

His voice went a long time ago sadly. Shouts and talks through most songs now. I remember seeing them in early 2000s ...wow they were awesome then.

[@enriqueechavarri6949]

Thank God they did not play "Shame, Shame" :)

[@enigmacarson927]

So many say this is undeserved...not...Dave is in his 50's now and they do a ton of things (work) and include so many,(audience) and stars in their shows...just because rrhof hasn't inducted so many deserving, isn't the fault of Dave...don't be hate'n on them for the organization's failures...agree they need to get it together...it's very important and actually hurts other groups

[@davidvogel8987]

So many great bands out there that haven't been induct in to the rock and roll hall of fame, I think that the people in management at the rock and roll hall of fame need to be replaced!!! Get someone in there that understand that we are losing so many of great artists every year, my choice for one of these bands is THE GUESS WHO

[@sf5912]

Dave's voice is now toast sadly. He shouts and talks through most songs now. Still love them though.

[@briandrum1]

You're crazy! He's *always* shouted and screamed! If anything, his voice has matured into a legendary voice!

[@sf5912]

@@briandrum1 Sorry but you are wrong. He shouts a lot lot more now. No shame in his 50s and can't hit the notes anymore. It's normal sadly. If you are looking for legendary voices...Dio, Bruce Dickinson and Glenn Hughes have no equals in Rock. Glenn still doing it in his ripe old age! Dave is a legend for his musicianship not his voice. Ironically the Foos would now be a better band if Taylor was on vocals and Dave on drums.

[@bolandjd]

Nice video! Thanks for posting. So Dave and guys have a 25 year catalog and play 2/3 songs from the same album? Is that dispositive proof that “The Colour and the Shape” is Foo Fighters’ best work?

[@lynnwright3993]

A question for those complaining about 2 temporary members of the band not being mentioned.....was Pete Best inducted with the Beatles? Everyone knows he was a better drummer than Ringo.....right?

[@WSallai]

Pete Best better than Ringo? Hell no. There’s a reason he was brought on to the Beatles..he is a professional, superior drummer with charisma. He has proven himself many times over. After the Beatles break-up, in the early years Ringo was the most successful of the four with multiple hit songs. He is now inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, as a Beatle and as a solo artist. Only Dave Grohl has achieved the same distinction for a drummer with Nirvana (drummer) and now with the Foo Fighters (guitarist/writer).

[@lynnwright3993]

@@WSallai First off..."tongue in cheek"..... being my age, I can remember some people didn't like the change. The claim was John and Paul were jealous of his good looks. Personally, I like Ringo. Second: I'd say George was the most immediately successful. "All Things Must Pass" and "Concert For Bangladesh" were greatness. "My Sweet Lord" was a big hit.

[@theplourde]

So, Nobody’s talking about how William Goldsmith and Franz Stahl got the shaft?

[@RC-fi8nn]

I guess because they didn't play on the records? They should have been mentioned at least, though. Pretty harsh they weren't.

[@theplourde]

@@RC-fi8nn after reading the recent Vulture interview with Dave, it’s probably best either him or Nate mentioned William. Technically, and this is a stretch, William Goldsmith recorded a lot of the original drums on “The Colour and Shape” before Dave (which being a Foos fan myself I can even admit this is a shit thing to do) coldly re-recorded all the drum parts and nobody told him until after the fact he technically did be on that record but they probably didn’t keep any of his parts. Still he toured a ton with them and should have gotten a shout out. But apparently things are all good with Franz.

[@lynnwright3993]

In the 26 year history of the Foos....their contribution was minor, and they have been relegated to the background...along with Pete Best.

[@ouseryoumit]

@@theplourde TBH, some of William's parts are on the record - Up in Arms intro, Doll, and in Deluxe The Colour and the Shape (song). It is rumoured that some of his parts went (probably by mistake) into Foo song in Rock Band game. So he DID this album, Dave just re-recorded it.

It's not a stupid comment. I'd say they do, at times. Maybe not Dave as much, because he wrote it.

[@stealingtomorrowband]

I love the foo fighters but i think that credit should be given to the band members from past to present . If it wasn't for William Goldsmith and Franz some of the history wouldn't be. Maybe it is just me but Dave says he feels bad about William, he has has 20 years to reconnect and make things better between the two of them and hasn't. This is just my opinion...

[@browncoat516]

I respect the heck out of your view,it's always going to be in the ? column though. All I know is whatever factors worked for or against Dave Grohl in the lean years he wrote "There is Nothing Left to Lose." Like so many similar anecdotes, that album sustained me through an incredible time in my life-both good and bad.

Bun are any of these thousands no millions of Fans singing one word Goldsmith wrote ??? No. BUT LISTEN. EVERY ONE IS SINGING WITH DAVE FUCKING GROHL. EVERYONE. I'd bet you sang to yourself while you wrote your comments. "And I wonder. When I sing along with you, " Dave

@@mr.stauffersnaturechannel4016 never knew what kind of shit I'd stir up with my comment lol I think Dave should apologize for what he did to William, even though I think communication would have been a great factor for the sessions on the 2nd record. Like you said Dave writes the songs and Dave is the record label and main financial backer he can do whatever he wanta to do..
