Foo Fighters - Stairway to heaven (led zeppelin cover)

[@gsahrens]

Dave has been chewing that gum since 1986.

[@nydia9454]

gsahrens yeah totally gum

[@claytonmonk6926]

That's not inaccurate

[@mattgilbert7347]

Legend has it the gum became sentient and is now writing its autobiography "Chewie'

[@kryllion]

I say this as an enormous Led Zeppelin fan - this was beautiful. I love their playfulness and joy. RIP Taylor.

[@tSp289]

This pisstake was still better than 99% of the covers out there.

[@MrBirdo33]

***** He's a huge LZ fan. He does it all slow and dragged out because he tries to rpove you can NEVER properly remake this song. the Shhh and guitar dragging is all for comedy.

[@montanathreehunna]

Blind Melon and the new Alice in Chains did really good ones, the Melon one is super killer, Hoon is a very underrated vocalist.

[@supertyphone]

+Montana Puckett where can I hear the blind melon one

[@hudsonthereal]

+tSp289 lol yes :-D !!!! :-D PS: Google sux!

[@montanathreehunna]

supertyphone wtf i posted a link to it a few weeks ago now its gone. hopefully you see this it's Blind Melon - Out on the Tiles, and AIC - Kashmir

[@SnoopEdie]

"The Foo Fighters did a mock cover of this song, and their version was to say that nobody should try to cover the song because they will screw it up" hahaha Well done Dave.

[@simongaskill]

Unless you’re Heart

[@Emmamoo]

Omg so many people are missing the point here. This was completely tongue in cheek. Dave grohls biggest influence is zeppelin. A salute to dave and taylor for a great lighthearted performance. Who cares the lyrics were wrong. This really is very funny and I've watched it loads of times.

[@matthewdavisson8727]

more like gum in cheek, amirite

[@dvstinjames]

I laughed, and that's all that matters, that I laughed.

[@christophergoree6357]

LoL people who really think he doesn't know the words to this song.

[@F1KillerQueen]

So, TONGUE IN CHEEK!! 😄😄😄😄

[@zander3738]

He did this as a joke to make a point never to cover this song. Bonham is one of his biggest influences so he has all respect for Led Zeppelin

[@XJacksonvilleX]

ofc you should never, nobody can top led, not even compete duh

[@stephenmonachello6256]

You two need to watch Heart's cover with Jason Bonham. They did it in front of Zeppelin who was being honored at the Kennedy Center. Paige said it is the band that should cover the song and Plant said it was amazing and it brought him to tears it was so good. They got a standing ovaition

[@thediddiliestneighborino168]

Freaking nailed that solo XD

[@gagestens]

ted ritola I hope you know it was a joke performance lol

[@Stringer13ell]

​@gagestens i dont think you should tell people they might have missed a joke, as you simultaneously miss a very clear and obvious joke

[@MegaDapin]

best guitar solo ever 3:40 - 4:03

[@kharismaindonesia6622]

😂😂😂

[@DarudeSandstormVEVO]

+Davin Assidiq Trilaksono Jack Black's better...

[@steveryan1799]

Creative for sure! But the best solo ever, IMO, is Page doing Stairway To Heaven on The Song Remains The Same tour. Beautiful feeling!

[@justaboy1812]

fuck yes 😂

[@Isharadon]

Omg TSRTS Solo was the best solo i' ve ever listened

[@morsebaittackleco.5250]

I LOST my shit at the solo lmfao

[@erikabutler522]

SAME

[@gibsondanny]

I sincerely hope you guys find your shit.... Its terrible when that happens.

[@HunkWhite]

That solo, was awesome !

[@Arizonaisaplace]

Admit it we've all done a "Doop Doop Doop" version of Stairway's solo

[@Prettypaigexxx]

wen i showed my dad this he was gonna do it for him but he started doing it and my dad lost it

[@TonyPaj]

I gotta say, taylor hawkins made that simple drum set sound so good, proves that you don't need 100+ toms, snares, bass, etc., to make your drumming sound good, it's all in the drummer.

[@Messi-xv8mc]

The fucking solo is so fucking awesome.

[@coltallic3114]

4:10 best part!!! Dave is such an underrated singer!!

[@karlwills3549]

+TheCryptCrusader ,,fan boy ,,,lol........

[@iiqspat2629]

4:20 is fantastic too

[@tamjidahmed2343]

[@AlphaMasterry]

He just scream xd

[@Senhor_Queijo]

​@@AlphaMasterryyeah but he's screaming the right way

[@james2155]

He should do a serious version, he would kill it

[@inaciotrinita]

That's the porpouse of this! To do a cover of stairway requires more than a guitar and voice it needs soul and that is not for everybody 👍🤣

[@igotmoswagdenu]

the singer kinda looks like the drummer from nirvana

[@jako7204]

He is the drummer from nirvana

[@igotmoswagdenu]

no i dont think so the drummer from nirvana looks younger

[@MikeAndersonvinyloldies]

Ssamell123 you obviously dont get sarcasm/the joke.

[@igotmoswagdenu]

lol

[@Wicket_]

epic conversation XD

[@DarudeSandstormVEVO]

2:44 If the drummer from Nirvana tells you 'not yet' you just obey ^^

[@camusvil1632]

of course that was a joke :P

[@chrismessruther2671]

holy shit like fifty people comment saying 'cant believe they disrespect led zeppelin like this' they are huge fans of led zeppelin they are a huge influence and pretty sure daves pretty good friends with jimmy page,this isnt a piss take of the song its taking the piss out of all the people you get in guitar shops every day picking up a test guitar and playing stairway really badly

[@MongerOfStrings8222]

I think led zeppelin would have loved this. I mean, they even fucking played with half of them in 2015

[@cterrance189]

Enough with the " this is so disrespectful " comments. Dave Grohl is a talented artist and was just having fun playing this song. It was a joke. He was not disrespecting Led Zeppelin.

[@Abraxas948]

I hope you guys realize that they did this as a joke cover. They did it to warn off other people of trying to cover it

[@DrVali]

But the Dolly Parton version makes you immune to Coronavirus.

[@girishpaul1]

lol 3:41 - 4:06 solo was fucking awesome.

[@wewd]

This cover has replaced the original for me. You haven't properly experienced Stairway until you've heard Dave sing it with chewing gum in his mouth.

[@commanderjnm2008]

3:48 I lost it at his "Diloolilooollololdilollilo........" xD

[@aspexpl]

Dave's solo is probably better than Jimmy Page's. If Jimmy Page had to sing it.

[@thevictorianbaroness7604]

Stéphane Pierrejeu I love the fact that to this day Jimmy denies being able to sing at all when we know he can or at least he could in the past :)

[@Sigmachadofficial]

It's funny how his immaginary guitar sounds better that lil Wayne's 😂😂

[@waterdroplets1627]

Marko Menard lmfao good one

[@YogsenForfoth]

This video was one of the first I thought of when I heard the news about Taylor. He and Dave had such chemistry and such a strong sense of humor. They also had a deep reverence for classic rock and generally all musical genres which had come before them. This is such a fucking bummer, man. 😔💔

[@pres421]

tabs for the solo: "bwuaaaww da da da da da da din din din, buaw de de duewww duew da din din dee de da dee dee dee dee deee buwa de dee de de be duaw TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOL WEEEEEEEEEE"

[@IPman77]

One of my all time favourite youtube videos, brilliant!!

[@hotdaveog]

This is cool because every guitar player has done this with his buddies at least once. These guys just did it live. This is real rock n roll!!!!!

[@jae3782]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever watched

[@aurelyscherer6818]

This is absolutely brilliant! The solo was really spot on. Amazing dude.

[@billepperson2662]

A friend and I used to rewatch this over and over when we were teens starting our own band with our jaws on the floor trying to mimic Taylor's fills here. How he was able to cop everything Bonham did, note for note , while adding some other flourishes of his own on nothing but a kick, snare, hi hat & crash/ride with blasticks (acoustic drum sticks) as opposed to using a full kit w/ regular sticks is just beyond bad ass . . . no doubt in my mind he's one of the greatest to ever do it

[@DevilKrin]

"Whats the next line..?" "DIIIICK!!!"

[@castlesmade]

Brilliant! I love Dave he can do no wrong in my book, plus he knows things shouldnt be taken to serious and I love that.

[@MrRobijor]

Veo que no entendéis nada. 1º El grupo favorito de Dave Grohl es Led Zeppelin. Tiene, incluso, tatuados los cuatro símbolos. 2º Conoce la canción entera a la perfección, está de broma. 3º Ese hombre ha tocado con Jimmy Page y con John Paul Jones. Ni falta de respeto ni nada. Se ve a kilómetros que está bromeando cuando hace como que no sabe la letra para involucrar al público. Él mismo es incapaz de contener la risa por momentos, y Hawkins se está partiendo por detrás. Si no sabéis de lo que habláis, no digáis nada, mucho menos insultar o acusar de falta de respeto a un hombre que siente tal grado de admiración por los creadores de la canción.

[@POZOLEDECARAMELITO]

Se te olvido el punto numero cuatro que explicaria ademas los otros. 4° El estaba borracho hasta el culo.

[@enzoquinteros9729]

Loco pero cierto, hay gente que no se da cuenta que Dave está bromeando, gracias por aclararlo jajajaja!

[@francobogado6374]

todos los que amamos a los Zeppelin sabemos que está canción es genial no importa como la intérpreten es imposible que suene mal

[@humfather]

This was fun and showmanship. Dave Grohl knows how to show off his talents while maintaining his image as that guy we all knew back in college that could rock it out just as hard in your living room. I heard he sends open letters to his fav bands to see if he can play backup drums if they ever want him. He works Willie Nelson hard ... luv it! And they got away with covering Zeppelin ... oh ya ... that drummer killed it!

Cara, estive presente no show de Curitiba, e começaram a tocar Stairway to heaven, uma das minhas músicas favoritas, pois a relaciono SEMPRE a minha vó. Eu chorei feito um bebê, eu realmente não esperava, meu corpo inteiro ficou arrepiado, e ouso dizer que foi um dos momentos mais preciosos da minha vida.

[@SRVMETAL]

He's just having fun with it. I assure you, that you'll have a hard time finding a bigger Zeppelin fan than Dave. He even played with Page and Jones during a Foo Fighters concert, furthermore, he's in a band with John Paul Jones...

[@BrionyMinodora]

Can’t imagine how much this song got overplayed when zeppelin first released it. An overlooked overplayed treasure. Still magic. Grohl was smart to know changing the rhythm/speed from the commercial version keeps it feeling fresh
