Taylor Hawkins is the drummer for the Foo Fighters.

[@burgessmireles6640]

Dave Grohl played drums on the entire record. Taylor Hawkins join the band after the album was already recorded.

[@benspurgeon6273]

You really need to listen to the acoustic version of this song, IMO it’s light years better.

[@acemodez3169]

This is one of those songs no matter how many millions of times I hear it I NEVER get tired of hearing it! As many great songs the Foo have, this will always be my favorite, and they have so many, well all of them great actually

[@jaxwood3577]

Same for me... just love the chords and the feeling of this song.

[@ajmcneilly]

100%. This version and the Acoustic version.

[@silent-trouble]

It is. Unfortunately they have not made a great song since "the pretender", in my opinion. Which was in 2009? Their new record already feels tired and its not even out yet :D.

[@miareichert5964]

i can’t even imagine how many times i’ve heard this, but i’ve seen them twice live and might’ve teared up each time 🥲

[@chewingpiano]

Then you're gonna love this version of Everlong played by 3 little girls and they kicked ass. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6ebqGWZn7mMl7c Their current level is amazing

[@JeffKelly03]

Dave Grohl is an absolute national treasure. Unbelievably talented and seems like a genuinely awesome guy.

[@paradox5391]

Nicest guy in rock n roll

[@alexmat81]

International treasure

[@bemused9522]

Dave Grohl and Eddie Bedder are a few of the only great artists of the original grunge movement still with us and still making music. Bless them.

[@JeffKelly03]

He was involved in Kurt's death. Nice guy Dave is guilty conscience Dave. 🤷‍♂️

[@samjonestown2397]

Sorry if someone’s already said this, but even Bob Dylan said he wished he had written this song, which is an unbelievable complement

[@doobiedave9686]

It's so cool that Dave Grohl bought the soundboard from Sound City Studios, where Nirvana recorded their albums, after it closed and put it in his Studio 606 where he got several of the artist who had recorded at Sound City Studios together to make an album. Everybody from Fleetwood Mac, Nine Inch Nails, Rick Springfield, Paul Macartney, Tom Petty, Rage Against The Machine, and several others.

[@scottbegonias313]

So many epic albums recorded on that Neve soundboard!

[@josifoxxido]

Cool stuff. Thanks

[@jdog6620]

Whoa... did not know that. Comment section educating me.

[@doobiedave9686]

The album is called Sound City 606 and my favorite 2 songs are Cut Me Some Slack featuring Paul Macartney and The Man That Never Was featuring Rick Springfield. 🙌🤘✌️

[@flor9389]

My faves on the resulting album are Mantra with Josh Homme and Trent Reznor, and From Can to Can’t with Corey Taylor and Scott Reeder. Both have Dave on drums

[@Drivestort]

This song was written about one of the members of Veruca Salt, who Dave Grohl was dating at the time. You can hear her vocals, recorded over the phone, over the main part of the hook singing along with him. This is David Lettermans' favorite song, he listened to it when recovering from heart surgery, and had them play it on his last Tonight Show hosting.

[@RevBrently]

Howard Stern's fave, too.

[@chriscornelius2518]

This song has struck a chord with a lot of people. Many people I know who don't listen to rock music, like this song.

[@simtanker]

Once you hear Louise during that hook, you can't unhear it.

[@sassymessmess9110]

"BIG ME" "FOR ALL THE COWS" "I'LL STICK AROUND" "THIS IS A CALL" "DOLL ME UP" "LET IT DIE"- You cannot convince me this song isn't about Kurt! "MY HERO" "LEARN TO FLY" "DOWN IN THE PARK"- Their cover of a Gary Numan song "TIMES LIKE THESE" "THE BEST OF YOU"- PRINCE performed this during halftime during the Superbowl. "BAKER STREET"- Their cover of the Gerry Rafferty song "DARLING NIKKI"- Their PRINCE cover

[@jaxwood3577]

Awesome list, yes!

[@sassymessmess9110]

@Christopher Bingham I know but it sounds exactly like Kurt to me.

[@flor9389]

He said it was about another friend - he had a friend from childhood who died of an overdose

[@mst1740]

This is brilliant live. They play the slower, acoustic version and the audience sings every word. I saw them at The O2 and it was amazing.

[@steveullrich7737]

The acoustic version is really good, would be good one for Jamel to react to.

[@babaoriley1]

They also did an acoustic version for Adam Sandler's "Little Nicky" soundtrack.

[@bigsilewis3660]

Was that the Rick Astley night? I was there.

[@ca9968]

Dave Grohl actually played the drums on this entire record. Taylor Hawkins joined the band after the album was recorded.

[@amyelizabeth529]

I don't think many people know this fun fact. It's really mind-blowing & a testament to his natural talent & musicianship.

[@jhamilton1007]

Actually Dave recorded all the instrumental tracks on this album.

[@chewingpiano]

Or The warning covering anything from Foo fighters kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6ebqGWZn7mMl7c their original music is way better though, that was many years ago

[@roevega9902]

Foo Fighters did an acoustic version of this which is a completely different vibe.

Definitely worth another reaction for the acoustic version! The one at Wembley is my favorite (half-acoustic"half-electric)

[@CD-zd6zr]

@@mamatay7 agreed

Rick Astley also did an acoustic cover of this

[@steveullrich7737]

[@makeitwithmurmle2598]

you should check out the very first acoustic performance on howard stern show

[@SweetSunshower59]

"One of These Days" by the Foo Fighters is a great song as well. And one of their new songs "Shame" is awesome.

[@mizzzxchristinechristine5594]

Shame shame is the sexiest damn song!

[@smasheduppumpkinette]

The Foo Fighters first album (self titled) was written and recorded entirely by Dave Grohl. I think there was a guest guitarist on a couple of tracks but that was it. He wrote all the songs, done the vocals, played the bass, played the drums, played (most) of the guitar parts. He really is a super talented guy.

[@jhamilton1007]

Yes he is.

[@Pelza20]

Foo Fighters -Walk. It really was my theme song for a long post surgical recovery. I am forever grateful to Dave for writing the song.

[@roge0934]

Foo Fighters are phenomenal, try listening to Walk, Rope, Run, Times Like These, Learn To Fly, Monkey Wrench, Razor, Long Road to Ruin

[@adamplace1414]

Check out their performance of this song on Dave Letterman's last show. Not that you need to for a reaction video or anything, it's just kind of cool, and a cool story by Dave as to why they're there, and why this song, and such. Great reaction (as always) great music (as always on this channel). You're the best!

[@chewingpiano]

I keep asking Grohl to react to theses multitalented girls too kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6ebqGWZn7mMl7c and that was 6 years ago

[@ashlealabine6937]

I love the heavier songs like this. This is the song that put them on the scene, if I recall correctly. I'm pretty sure I was in 7th grade. I bought one of their t-shirts and it had a big antique laser gun on it, and they used to make me turn me shirt inside out when I wore it to school. Later in the day I would fix it, and get caught again lol. Back then I only wore ripped and drawn on jeans or corduroys, and Vans shoes, and mostly band shirts. Haha good times. I miss the 90s.

[@noneofurbizness5838]

Jamal/Jamel my brother, thanks for watching the Foo. Dave is exceptional. I personally enjoy this song in my head, without the video. It gets more personal. Stay well and safe, Please keep up the great work and keeping the faith of audiophiles everywhere.

[@vjollcaeklund6108]

The ending of their concert in Gothenburg Sweden June 2018 they played this one. Such a wonderful memory. I was 7 months pregnant with my son. I always tell him that he was at a Foo fighters concert 😊

[@TheClayCoKid]

I believe Dave Grohl and Keanu Reeves are probably the best famous people ever. Dave brings people up on stage to sing. Lets kids play guitar. Broke his ankle during a show and came back to finish the concert in a chair after he got back from the hospital. Keanu Reeves stands up and lets people have seats on the subway. Actually trains for his movies and is actually amazing at it.

[@BakerStreetShootout]

I had the pleasure of meeting Dave years ago and he was such a great dude, he really took time to talk to everyone that came by to talk to him and listened to what we had to say. Super genuine guy. Love this band

[@angusfan1212]

'Breathe out so I can breathe you in'... I have always called that 'sharing air'. It's that time when you are so in love with someone that being that close to them, breathing in the same air they have just breathed out, makes you feel warm and safe...

[@Scott_Forsell]

The "Breathe out so I can breathe you in" kills me everytime. Grohl stole that line from me. I said that decades ago during a deeply intimate face to face moment, ahem.

Yes, Dave is playing the drums on this album. In case you don't know, he played nearly all the instruments on the 1st Foo Fighters record, and later added the other band members so he could tour. When recording *this* record, Dave let go that drummer from the tour, and re-recorded all the drums for the album himself. Then he added Taylor Hawkins on drums (who is the "girl" in this video)...Taylor has been the drummer ever since.

if you want to see how people love this song, watch Everlong live at the wembley stadium. It's all about audience appreciation. You won't be able to do a reaction video, but rather watch a reaction from the best venue in the world. If any musician can get to the main wembley stadium, they've made it, and the foo fighters know this.

[@robw9730]

This is my go-to warm up song anytime I fire up the acoustic. I fucking love this song.

[@davidmatheny1993]

The funny thing is, I have loved this song and video for so long and just really thought about how the video is somewhat a reflection of the lyrics. Dave has mentioned how the song is about connecting with someone on such a level that your souls are basically in tune with one another. The excitement of being someone who truly feels like your soulmate and the fear of ever losing that.

[@SweetSunshower59]
