Foo Fighters Dave Grohl "Best of You" acoustic at Cannes Lions 2016

[@flamehand3713]

It strikes me that sometimes Dave Grohl doesn't realize how famous he is...

[@Hanntaytay]

when i saw the foo fighters live my corner was so dead and he runs over and sees me jumping and shit he points me out and puts his thumbs up.BEST DAY EVER

[@koll]

I think he's well aware.

[@Adamacaciastrainn]

He's just down to earth

[@72VirginExpress]

It's the weed....he just doesn't give a fuck and I don't blame him./... $ and fame when tied together or touted as being something of worth that is substantive is for losers.....aka Trump et al. He has a soul and it shows in his music...

[@marlahudnell4725]

So true. That's one of the things that make him so special. Great story teller too - in addition to his rock star awesomeness of course!

[@DarrellR012]

I hope there is a hotline where you could just listen to Dave tell stories 24/7.

[@thomaswolday9810]

lol i love this comment

[@Zackdabest]

dude, it's the truth! I could listen to him for hours and hours!

[@winistan]

stfu and take all my money ... 1 800 Grohl

[@francisfish6729]

Fuck yes

[@joshpurdy1797]

Lets make one. PM me for details. haha

[@Podcastage]

I'm glad we still have a rockstar.

[@ReneeNme]

True.

[@harpersneil]

Wad trying to think what it was I was trying to say: then I read your comment. Perfect.

[@goldenhourkodak]

We have hundreds. Stupid comment.

[@rickymcn1]

hundreds? i wish. lemmys gone, bowies gone, freddie has been gone for a while. the pool is getting drained by the year. and i know the people i've mentioned are our dads fav artists but to me dave has always sat beside those fuckers. at least in my playlists anyways:-)

[@dilskinews443]

We really don't. If you think imagine dragons is a band full of rockstars, you have no business typing "Dave Grohl" in your search feed lol

[@mulletmullet5339]

I was in a semi-successful band about 4 years ago and we were recording an EP at the old Sound City studio (which dave bought) and I swear on my left nut, we were recording one day and Dave shows up on his motorcycle and comes in to sit in for a bit of the session and was just the coolest, most down to earth dude you could imagine. We were all shitting ourselves. He said something like "sounds fuckin good guys" and literally jumped on his motorcycle and rode off. We later found out his daughter is school mates with our sound engineers daughter and that was why he had originally stopped by. I'll tell that story to my grandkids one day.

[@OVB_NL]

+Mullet Mullet That's an awesome story mate!

[@ЯнАндреев-ч5л]

+Oliver van Bilsen yeah, agreed

[@TCMk23]

I can imagine that Dave is a pretty chilled out guy

[@mikehussey5682]

I'd of jizzed in my pants.

[@anneaurora8643]

Mullet Mullet 💙🤘🏻

[@epuringt]

Note he said "OUR song Best of you" - not "my song". What a humble dude

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

That's because it's not a Dave Grohl song... Foo Fighters were a band.

[@kramerica2k10]

Glad you put this in the "Autos & Vehicles" category.

[@OVB_NL]

Oops - good spot - am on my phone but will check if I can change it later.

[@joshd.684]

I love to hear that grunt of Chevy Grohl

[@AbdoElgendy101]

Giddy up

[@LeonardoAedocid]

I thought the same as you xDD

[@sean8081a]

Jay Leno's Garage brought me here...

[@-m4nGo-]

This makes me feel like i'm at a bonfire and my favorite uncle is playing the best song ever. Thanks Dave.

[@keetonfoust]

Dave is the uncle of us all.

[@Hotwheels5482]

Bonfire and one of my best friends (more like family) in my case…I feel this!

[@PaulaCostaVal]

I really wanna listen to taylor's piano version of best of you now

[@ironheadfm]

I really wanna listen to taylor's piano version of best of you now with Dave Grohl suddenly screaming and yelling over Taylor's sweet voice.

[@jordanspitzer4053]

Imagine being at a party with Paul Taylor and Dave

[@rasaecnai]

this is the only instance when im actually curious about a taylor swift performance. not a hater im just not interested in her music.

[@nicktopinoplus]

This story inspired me to sit at my piano and figure out what that would have sounded like. You can just riff on C#m, A, and B and that's pretty much the whole song. sounds awesome though.

[@pennylane4360]

@@rasaecnaiI think you should listen to her albums, because she's very versatile when it comes to music... And God the covers she makes and different versions of her own songs in the shows, it's amazing!

[@cparrello]

The Taylor swift/Batman story at the beginning of this performance is hysterical!!!!

[@MYVIDEO632]

I love storytime!

[@jtucker813]

absolutely every time LOL love him!!

[@TheGavio93]

One of the many benefits to seeing the Foos live.

[@Adam-ss1sd]

He tells some good ones

[@carlitoxb110]

one of the biggest rockstars out there yet so humble

[@smokeycheebs7993]

Dave is one of the coolest dudes on the planet. He is evidence that money and fame don't automatically turn you in to a db. Beyond that, he really is incredibly talented and a great writer. Smokin down with the foo fighters would probably be pretty fun

[@taie2419]

I love the imperfection of his voice and how confident he is about it 😍😍😍

[@ponfed]

Imperfections make perfection.

[@PhilipDrakeMusic]

Dave is such a cool dude.

[@robotzjames7617]

Dave is one of the last true rock stars...

[@runeteardown7261]

On the contrary, he is not really a prototypical rockstar who is conceited and blows people off. He is like keanu reeves of the music industry. He just the down to earth famous guy. Come to think of it, i havent seen keannu and dave in the same room LMAO

[@REDGREENBLUEGRAVITY]

I Love How Dave Perfectly Converts The Story Into The Song.

[@mxzrider5099]

I think it's awesome that Taylor can be at a party and just hop on a piano and play a foo fighters song and Dave didn't even realize she was playing his own song. It would have been better if Taylor grabbed a guitar and jammed with him

[@cccchipppp]

/\ This.

[@paulapueblitolopez5858]

no. Paul mccartney played guitar. nothing would be better than that. sorry. she just can't compete with a legend :)

[@justAfisherman1187]

all Paul's guitars were left handed ..... it kinda worked out

[@pennylane4360]

Yess

[@Kammy-nh8vl]

Paula Pueblito Lopez lol actually she can compete with a legend since she has 4 consecutive albums to spend more than 6 weeks at #1, which is an achievement only done one other time in history and that was by The Beatles. And also her latest album has debuted at #1 on both the hot 100 and billboard 200 charts in the same week, which makes her the only artist ever in history to do so. (Now done twice in less than 6 months) She’s also the only artist to have 8 albums (consecutively as well) sell over 500,000 units in the first week, also all 8 have been #1 on the charts, making her the first female to do so. So you can dislike her music all you want but don’t let it take away from the fact that yes she is a legend, and Paul McCartney thinks so himself and was even inspired by her to write a song. And this is only just the tip of the iceberg in her long list of awards and achievements only 14 years into her career compared to Paul’s 60 years! Hey did you also know she’s only the second person ever to win artist of the decade along with Garth Brooks, not Paul. 😂

[@mathiska8659]

Dave Grohl is a legend!

[@boycastro8211]

Mathis Ka He is a living legend!

[@StrivingSinner]

This guy is my fucking idol...

[@KarlRock561]

same

[@papa-ql3xb]

Dave has to be the NICEST rock star of all time. I've never heard a less pretentious, more down to earth mega star in my life!

[@grisellpena9716]

Same..❤

[@astrosfan06]

dave is an incredible musician.. i think it is sad to hear some of you giving lewd comments about his voice.. you just don't even realize what you're talking about. I don't feel sorry for you either.

[@10YearsFan96]

Exactly. They must be deaf. GROHL is a legend

[@genacarneiro]

love his voice!

[@asendejo7]

They're use to "singers" who use auto tune, so they don't know what real singing actually is.

[@astrosfan06]

touche'

[@jomaha9227]

This was also recorded with a camera phone or some shit, not exactly like it was hooked into the pickups and the best quality from a live recording possible...

[@Fivestarlane]

I love it when someone can tell a good story. It's half of what makes good conversation.

[@jpm2401]

I'd of loved to see Taylor's face when he started belting that out.

[@mustie1]

he did this on howard stern. just greatness

[@msbellenc]

What a terrific story! Lol! Thanks for sharing this!

[@ianbishop1814]

There’s still some epic musicians alive and Dave is one of them

[@biigmyke]

I was fortunate to cook dinner for Dave a few years ago in Dewey Beach Delaware ! He visits usually each summer when he's home in Virginia !

[@progressivepainter]

I'm guessing a Bud light with dinner....

[@redeyedangel]

I LOVE that transition from the story to the song. Flawless 😩❤🎸

[@j.g6883]

The way he started the song along the story. I love this man

[@jayhaapala6026]

So I sat next to her and I did this... Epic.

[@abbeytaylor]

He retold the story again last night on the Late Late Show which brought me back here again. The live version is the best.

[@amantedelmondo1787]

This proves you don't need to be a master guitarist to create a good song. such a simple and yet beautiful song to play.

[@carisskeet113]

My dad lived this song. Too bad he isn't around to see you live anymore Dave 😭

[@SGTr3db34rd]

I love Dave Grohl’s acoustic performance banter and antidotes

[@kennykharsyntiew8784]

The feelings conveyed in their truest form. What a Legend!!!

[@RussellSchaff]

Every single time I search for an acoustic version of "Best of You" I always run into this video and I can say that I have never skipped a single part of it. Thanks Dave Grohl for the fun times and great concerts. You are up there with Tommy Pickles and Leonardo Dicaprio in my book.

[@IreneDandrea-v2l]

Yeah, don't let somebody ever get the best of you. Let's hit the bar!

[@devontolly1596]

Nobody can deny this type of real talent . This is fire.

[@LoriLewis]

One of the best stories I've heard in a long time. Classic.

[@KidZeppelin1]

For everyone saying that when he's screaming it doesn't sound as good as usual... First off, if you've never tried to sing this song then you have no idea how hard of a song it is to actually sing, I bet 99% of people couldn't even get half way through. Second, he's playing acoustic and sitting down which makes it harder for you to sing higher notes and hold notes. If you've seen the foo fighters live then you would know that Dave ain't a bitch and he can scream his heart out like a fucking pro.

[@DeuceSF]

Bobby Mueller yeah agreed, plus the majority of people don't know how to scream properly or add distortion to their voice anyway. They're just stupid.

[@duffym9]

Not to mention Dave usually plays 3+ hours live and screams his ass off the entire time, night after night. Dave Grohl ain't no bitch

[@joelo7135]

No auto tune there.. ever lol! Imagine trying to fake that in a concert

[@israelortega7066]

So true dude love singing this song

[@beaatrizzim]

And he loves it. And you feel it. This is the best

[@22junky]

I wish i could be there :)

[@alexssound7365]

If someone doesn't like this....you must be fools, Dave Grohl it's the representation of pure power on earth! I love it!

[@keith9145]

His soul is with is all threw his music very underrated think a comeback is in the making cant wait love from Ireland

[@carolanemlynne1344]

I really wanna listen to taylor's piano version of best of you now one of the biggest rockstars out there yet so humble

[@briandavissr.6843]

I thank his folks for raising such a true human being and one with the people

I love it that this video was uploaded on June 23rd, my sister's birthday. She maaaaay be the biggest Grohl fan of all times. Cheers, Jo. I love you.

One of the last pure, cool, good rock stars ⭐️ Keep on Jamming Dave!

[@mollysadler6495]

A drummer at heart. He’ll always be stomping his foot along to whatever he’s playing

[@nawaki4586]

Its nice to see that a pop star and a rock star can respect each other.

[@oldbadeyes42]

I really enjoyed his "we were at a party" B-52s shoutout with a glint in his eye. He realizes no one gets it and the glint leaves. lol. I got it, Dave!

[@recipehacker9752]

Love his scream singing, so much feeling

[@Musicman4001007]

I am glad we still have a rockstar too...omg what happened to them? There aren't many around anymore..

Taylor Swift: **Plays Foo Fighters song during concert** Her fans: ooh I love this new song. Dads who came along with their daughters: **Casually singing along**

[@valeriafontes1146]

Taylor Owens why do you think swift fans are dumb teens/children?😂 it’s ridiculous at this point. I live and breathe for Taylor’s music and have been to three Foo Fighters gigs , Black Sabbaths reunion, The Cure’s concerts, more than 5 Roger Waters’ shows and Pearl Jam’s shows twice, just to mention a few. She is very talented and works her ass off, whether you like mainstream music or not, she is brilliant, talented and composes beautifully. I don’t understand why is it so hard for men to acknowledge that.

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Taylor Owens Taylor Swift fans are more musically diverse than they seem. Taylor is known to bring artists from various backgrounds in her concerts, and each time, the crowd sings along. Hell, even when Taylor is just doing a solo cover, the crowd sings along.

[@Swayahavok]

@@valeriafontes1146 chill out, you have to admit the majority of taylor swift fans are infact a bunch of 17 year old girls whove never even heard of the foo fighters

[@TylerMaxson]

dave, have you ever heard the expression 'pics or it didnt happen'?

[@cBodhi]

at those parties there are unwritten rules that you dont take pics or video, some even have written rules and contracts instructing visitors to the party that they will be sued for millions if any pics are released from inside the house; this is common practice with stars.

Also if Dave Grohl said it happened, it fucking happened.
