Scott Dair omg my tears :')

[@verohanded7282]

Kurt smiling in the hell

[@panterablu]

I was thinking about him too...

[@red149]

Enough already with this Kurt thing under every FF video . Kurt was Kurt , he is Dave . Kurt chose to die young , Dave lived to bring us joy !!!

[@panterablu]

@@red149 You are right. Dave had his own great career. P.S. I don't think Kurt CHOSE to die. He was just sick.

[@sergkim4441]

Dave is one of the best frontman in rock history. I was on their concert

[@martinpalominosias5868]

This is one of the bands that makes me feel so good any time at all, makes me feel alive, and powerfull

[@MrPieman00]

Great message he sent out

[@letsrock3198]

Great performance, top song!

[@xsiskyx]

PLOT TWIST Taylor becomes a lead singer in a new band after the Foo Fighters XD

[@capperith1292]

Wooooooooooooooo.....

[@castyorcer]

Music Central And they call it... Nirvana!:D

[@lucasstankdasilva8221]

actually its possible he sings pretty well

[@geezuskrist_2473]

The Cycle will never end

[@virginiacorvello5553]

He does sing pretty well! During the concert when we saw them Taylor goes on vocals and Dave goes on drums and Taylor sings under pressure from Queen

[@EdwoodCA]

For the comments about Pat "not playing anything" on this song: He's playing a baritone guitar for that song, to fill out the sound. That's why he doesn't just double up on Dave's rhythm parts for this particular song. And that's legendary Pat Smear on 3rd guitar. He's from The Germs, and played a significant part with Nirvana in the later times, oh and was the original Foo Fighter's lead guitarist, but left as they broke big, but Dave wanted him back. Glad they were cool and kept Chris Shiflett on leads. All 3 guitarists have their role, now. It's a good thing.

[@tinamarief51]

+EdwoodCA You absolutely right.. Pat is amazing.. he is the hard core playing part of the band. . all of them together makes it work..they are fantastic.. I love Pat. he's always smiling. having a blast ..he always looks so happy...glad he's with the FF... glad the all are..

[@marco2ol]

thanks for clearing that

[@dalegranda4315]

yep

[@usaflagraybans]

That explains it. I've seen a few videos of this song and Pat doesn't seem to be playing much.

[@pabloconchetumare1753]

Thanks

[@xhali]

Now thats a fuckin crowd!

[@anniyoung8254]

This performance slayed my existence

[@srpdesigns]

HAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!....NICE!!

[@-dannybanny-1248]

Anni Young alll again this year

[@CatfoodandSkidmarks]

When he says to the crowd to make sure they are ok it's so refreshing to hear in these hard times

[@mattilinan]

Dave Grohl is so fucking awesome, it's difficult for me to fully fathom just how awesome he is.

[@MiguelSoBe]

Rock & Roll is alive! Thanks Foo Fighters for saving the world!!!

[@user-io1is7cf6e]

Hidden secret of 「Foo Fighters」 is ' Drum is hidden Vocal. '

[@hkk1925]

영준김 몰랐는데 어쩐지 저음만하더라..

[@kaywoo6303]

왜 님들만 먼저 듣고 있었어요,, 억울해 😂😂

[@bondbondngan1130]

its the drummer singing the hard part

[@ArsenijeRadenovic]

+bondbond ngan well, they are a band... dave isn't solo so its ok for others to sing too...

[@mr.bunnyslippers7607]

+bondbond ngan the drummer does indeed do the chorus with dave as back up vocals. dave just doesnt have the right voice for the chorus. but normaly the drummer should be a lil louder but here they didnt mix it correct

[@dmac3633]

This is an Astounding performance of Real Rock. How Dare you criticize it.

[@vapelord]

The song that made me fall in love with the foo fighters 😍

[@romanbecker1403]

as long as all have fun, why not. the most fun got the drummer anyway, he looks so happy, when he drums^^

[@anaroch3396]

You know you're fucked when you're in the middle of a mosh Pit and you hear fireworks going off coming closer to you.

[@Onemanclan98]

great crowd!!great performance!!

[@MrKIRHAN]

sound engineer is god. 5:28 and 6:00 INSANE professionalism

[@Jadre18]

When Kurt Cobain is on the drums and Dave Grohl plays the guitar...

[@melo-drama8062]

its on mins 0:37

[@Dracconn_X]

Lol

[@adityamitra7294]

2019 and still fucking amazing

[@guitarwithjosh9553]

Exactly 20 years after nirvana's legendary reading set. Must be so nostalgic for dave

[@maxthemagician749]

I’m so fucking excited to see them at reading this year, looking forward to getting incredibly intense whiplash in the moshes

[@dodypaneo2983]

Greatest Show ever!

[@virginiacorvello5553]

Just saw these guys last night. They put on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. They are so interactive with the crowd. They play their hearts out. They had this song as their third song of the set, and it was so amazing!

[@finnmochan8416]

kanye west tells everyone he wants to watch himself on stage, Dave grohl wants everyone to be lifted up and be okay XD

[@milkminotaur]

kanye west is a cunt

[@LaurenMunroe]

The drummer bro 🔥🔥

[@luisg.delagarza7338]

Great performance, great crowd, amazing video!!

[@putputthedutchpedovan1583]

Standing back here again 20 years later , wonder if that did something to him .

[@mannyu26]

Where the hell is the full concert? I'm ready to be here all fuckin night

[@markm3706]

England, Reading. It's an awesome festival, I ended up going to A&E last time I was there. Still had a great time up until that point :)

[@ewersonsilva4056]

So, the secret of the chorus is the drummer.

[@srpdesigns]

Always has been!!!!!...LOL!!!

[@Ry-vh3js]

he sounds a lot better after the little break where he talks to the crowd, he obviously was out of breath as he done a lot of other songs before this one. (for all the haters)

[@neoxtra2461]

Also because of old age and no drugs, which is more proof why FF are one of the best rock bands today

[@exactpause9218]

Yeah and on top this song is very hard to perform

[@RemusGT]

Yeah man they are so fucking great

[@zbrhea]

I love every millisecond of the fucking video...

[@BigMikeyMike777]

to everybody saying the chorus is sung very lame: true, but have you ever tried singing it full screaming? Due to its rhythm speed it impossible to sing it full scream

[@mcgouverie2300]

Best rock and roll band on the planet

[@eneaenea9708]

gooooood..... pretender is the best...great it

[@SammyRhea-xv4wm]

It’s funny because they are crazy and all over the place, which surprisingly makes the song wayyyy better. Prob one of my most favourite songs of all time.

[@idn]

I often watch the Foo Fighters and wonder if this would have happened if Kurt was still alive. Or, if Dave and the Foos are like the phoenix risen from the ashes of tragedy on a cathartic journey. Either way,

[@ciaralee5211]

That ending tho had me 😍😍😍

[@hoobabooba6089]

Wooohaa, they are Rockstars!!

[@pabloconchetumare1753]

I fucking love Dave and Pat, they are the best

[@duffyanna4876]

I want dave grohl to be my uncle

[@danielblanke2584]

Dave Grohl is a legend. Drummer of the most famous band of the 90s and singer/guitarist of the greatest, we have at the moment. To me he is more legend than Kurt Cobain

[@victorperez2218]

KICK ASS SONG!!! KEEP ROCKIN’ 4EVER!!!!

What if I say that ill never surrender !!!!

[@hendramahardika9280]

Love

[@cstrongman]

I'd just taken some "LSD". It was fake, and it actually just made me really depressed. So I go back to my tent, alone. I'm fucking laying down alone during the middle of a fucking festival. I feel so shit, like I'm basically waiting to die. And then out the corner of earshot, I just hear this FUCKING MUSIC. I hear Dave Grohl saying these exact words to me... It was so weird hearing him from so far away, but it was so loud I could hear it so clearly. And all I could think was man... THESE GUYS ARE FUCKING KILLING RIGHT NOW. I was feeling so shit, on my own in the middle of Reading festival (I am forever soured off festivals lol) in a tent, and this song came on and made me feel so much better... When he was saying "what if I say I'm not like the others" I was like man... that's so me right now I wouldn't actually trade that experience for anything. Hearing this INSANE live version alone during the festival when I felt just at my lowest... was a very unique experience. Almost spiritual. It was like the song was written for me in that moment.

[@k8h6y]

뭐라고 하는진 모르겠지만 너무 멋있어요 형님!!!!🤘🤘

[@MC-ii5so]

マジ神

[@user-bz3tm9oo7d]

The only remaining cultural icon that inherited Nirvana's grunge rock. And Dave 's great rock music that might over Nirvana's one.

[@davidmeskens2408]

I saw you on stage at Werchter at that time .. Dave you are huge man ... I love women but I am in love with you man .... you and your crowd are just HUGE

drummer from nirvana who would have known.

[@nickthomas7057]

Micah Garrett I certainly wouldn't have known

[@shhs1227]

He was also the drummer on qotsa songs for the deaf album and it is rumored he drummed for ghost at some point. But uh. A shit load of people would have known. There's a reason "Dave grohl looks like the drummer from nirvana" is a meme

[@ImHereForPearlJamVid]

I think this Foo Fighters band may actually make something out of themselves some day...

[@janvranjes4554]

I miss him on drums

[@virginiacorvello5553]
