Foo Fighters with Zac Brown - War Pigs Cover Late Show with Letterman 10/13/2014

Foo Fighters Italian Fan Club

[@southprodigy]

Man, look at Taylor Hawkins, having the time of his life you can see it in that smile he took everywhere he went

[@SlenderGinger605]

Zac Brown is a country artist. And he pulled that first line off like a god. Well done.

[@AverageKingBooEnjoyer]

Even people who hate country music can respect what Zac brings to the table. I should know, I hate country music, but I have been in love with the Zac Brown Band forever because they don’t just do country, they’ve dived into rock music as well, not just with Dave and Foo Fighters, but with Chris Cornell on the song Heavy is the Head.

[@bloodstone2112]

i don't care what anyone says this is a killer cover i'm sure ozzy and company are very proud

[@ullasimonewallergeb.fiegle3951]

michael morris Comme si Comme ca.... Masomenos

[@KratosM4000]

I'm sure ozzy has no idea what is going on

[@AlikSukiasov]

You have to check Zakk Wylde's cover...

[@joekennedy8009]

Yeah no

[@fantasyyeti3712]

Sharon!

[@craigstoehr2952]

Had to watch this again today. Shocking news this morning. Inspirational to watch Taylor. If you ever have a chance to see the Foo cover Young Man Blues at the VH1 Awards honoring The Who from 2006, watch it. Seeing Taylor watching Dave for his queues to Keith-Moon-the-daylights out of the drums was awesome. Gonna miss him.

[@TheAussieStig30]

I'd love to see Dave, Jack Black and Ozzy sing this song together.

[@charliemorris2755]

Jack Black fucking nailed this cover. It would be awesome to see

[@palacinkasmarmeladou]

That would be interesting to see

[@seanriopel3132]

Jack Black and Dave are pretty tight. He actually played the Devil in the Pick of Destiny Tenacious D movie. Pretty good movie with the final rock off music battle against the Devil (Dave Grohl) being the highlight.

[@Jake-zg3cf]

@@seanriopel3132 wow thanks for filling us all in.... Like you are the only one who knew that.

[@captainphoenix]

I'd love to see Chris Cornell sing this song again. Shit.

[@WhiplashMetalStudios]

You gotta love Taylor's drum fills in between the breaks! Awesome cover by the Foo Fighters! \m/

[@tyde4610]

The fact that you still hear the bass even over all that guitar is a testament to whoever mixed the audio.

[@christophermoore9436]

I've listened to so many shit live recordings that I was so surprised that I could actually hear all the instruments. Metallica did a few things on the Howard Stern Show where the mixing was just phenominal

[@melanieballard110]

@@christophermoore9436 Reading original post my mind immediately went to Howard Stern. There are tons of great sounding performances on his show

[@bashirshah5347]

Sea Bass

[@rickyd3787]

Zac actually has a badass voice for singing unique vocals like ozzy... fuck yeah

[@seanriopel3132]

Never been the biggest country fan although I do like a lot of it... I do love watching videos of Zac Brown covering rock hits like this or Metallica at his live shows. Awesome!!!

[@rickyd3787]

@@seanriopel3132 for sure

[@daviddownard3200]

very true blewmy mind awesome vocals Zach has

[@breezeblock9145]

the drums make this song

[@dulltony1]

Imagine if Dave was on drums. Curious what it would've been like.

[@themuchdingdong]

yeah but so does the bass, singing, and guitar, all are fucking badass is my point

[@Mattnh]

Taylor has it covered.

[@cmomofilm]

Listen to the original, drums all day long.

[@rbr6852]

If you not start headbangin to that...your lost.

[@MrStrokerace80]

Love to be able to come back and watch this over and over but broken-hearted at the same time. This was lightning in a bottle!

[@erico658]

Love the foo fighters !! Kick ass cover ! Musicians just having fun and jamming ! That’s all it is people

[@theresaheyer537]

woooohoooo!!!!!love this!all great musicmen!!!!thank you Foo Fighters..keep fightin them fooos

[@markoxamitny9014]

One of my go to 'perk me up' tunes when I'm trucking at 2AM. 🤘🤘🤘

[@forwardmotion22]

This is the musical collaboration and cover that I never knew I needed

[@fmills1583]

Well now I found that quite delightful. Anyone else?

[@roywilson2070]

Yes, quite....

[@BoxOfCurryos]

Aye! Very much

[@brandontwohawks]

Taylor OWNED this -- phenomenal drumwork (the whole thing is good, tbh but still)

[@SuperFreedomRock1]

Eh, pretty generic really. Ward in his prime would blow Hawkins away, as would most of that era.

[@johanhager1042]

Ignoring the fact that Zac messed up the lyrics this is one of the best versions of War Pigs I've ever heard. Amazing energy!

[@nachocavallocarbonell1863]

Taylor is having the blast of his life I do exactly the same faces when playing drums That's why I love this guy, I feel really identified with him

[@bsuvb1]

Rest easy, Taylor. 😢 What a talent.

[@guyfidelity]

Once again, let it go people, it's a good cover, it's not Sabbath, get over yourselves already. The perpetual grin on Pat's face tells the story, they are having a blast covering a band that would be at the top of their list of influences. Ben Sheppard from Soundgarden said it best.. everything we've learned we learned fro Black Sabbath.

[@Shakey847967]

YeaYY!!! It's a cover. You're so right!! Let them have fun and enjoy doing it instead of criticizing it. I loved it, actually, thought Zac Brown was kinda bad ass!!! Great voice, and great performance all around!!!

[@cwrichardson3]

Fro...?

[@seanriopel3132]

If people wanna listen to the original, then go do it. Covers are meant to bring a new flavor to the original.

[@jessecapper8853]

Doing this song sweet justice. Amazing job.

[@StoopidMonkeysMomma]

This song is as true today as it was when it came out!!

[@jamesleslie4833]

Mr. Grohl & Co. keeping real rock alive

[@knudy17]

Letterman's mind was blown! "OH MY GOD!!!"

[@ghoul_friend]

This cover genuinely gave me chills as soon as the vocals started.

[@pgsbox24]

cant believe I missed this one!!! who knew Zac Brown...dang

[@daviddownard3200]

I ran across this 2 weeks ago on here I was like foo fighters then saw with Zach brown war pigs cover was amazing and well performed Zach blew me away I was like holy crap he's nailing this song good I have listened to this version quite a bit the past 2 weeks awesome Taylor on the drums with that happy smile

[@biggar1111]

Drummer completely steals the show. What a great piece of video.

[@tjones1524]

The best version live by far. Way to evolve and thank you!!

[@kellihunt6819]

I love it!!! On dave!! Theses two!! This is the best made my day!

[@douglasroot3347]

Some songs just rock

[@cgibson005]

I love watching Taylor in this video. He always looks like he's having an amazing time!

[@daviddownard3200]

like a kid in a candy store beyond happy you can tell alot about a person by their smile the way the smile how they are smiling what's making them smile and Taylor's smile is a love filled genuine true happiness in what he's doing best drummer today

[@SukitTrabeck]

Admit it the Foo fighters would be the coolest band to be in!!

[@seanriopel3132]

Dave is such a down to earth and humble man. He is often called the nicest guy in rock. I love it when they bring a fan on stage to play at their live shows. That kid in the kiss make-up crushed it a couple of years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipu5gIqFgMZgors

[@bryanriggs9639]

As a giant Germs fan, I always get so stoked seeing Pat Smear rock out...

[@Onlyusemesuede]

Amazing performance of a classic song! RIP Taylor Hawkins, you will be missed #LegendsNeverDie

[@robgriz72]

Awesome to see great artists paying homage to those that paved the way

[@cjcaves4290]

TAYLOR FUCKING HAWKINS IS SO LIT BEST DRUMMER MAYBE NOT MOST TECHNICAL BUT DAMN HE CAN ROCK

[@michaelchiorello147]

Christian Caves I thought he played it a little soft here. Maybe it was intentional not to try match the original percussion bravado of War Pigs.

[@steveparish9210]

Fantastic! Everyone! Damn Taylor will be missed

[@maynewman150]

This was an unexpected performance that worked out so well! I love this version!

[@juliegogola4647]

The FooFighters were are still are Dave Lettermans favorite band. he had them play his last show.

[@chenille28]

Foo Fighters is definitely one of the best rock bands out there today.

[@tituspullo9210]

Come on children...just appreciate this for what it is. An excellent cover and good fun had by all

[@suesmith3941]

I love that drummer!!!

[@millertime1101]

did I just become a Zac brown fan Oh LORD YEAH!

[@patton303]

You guys gotta find the video of Dave playing drums with Zac Brown band at the CMA’s in 2013. It’s unbelievable. Peace.

[@klasseact6663]

I really enjoyed this, takes multiple people to equal ONE TONY though, LOL!

[@lovineveryminuteofit7492]

Now this is a crazy blend of artist all the way around this.... Black sabbath, foofighters_and Zack..... This is crazy cool...

[@michaelschroeder8005]

They just look like they are having some much damn fun!

[@satiroglu44]

That was real fun

[@neilflavin8890]

I've just watched a few War Pigs videos just now, trying to recapture what I experienced in 1981. FF with Zac Brown is one of the best. ..... but .... Let me tell you my WAR PIGS story..... hahaha!! USAF 1981 during the Cold War. Bitburg GE Practicing for war --- We HAD TO BE Ready for WAR It was our JOB. -- our F-15's were 5 minutes Air Time from the Soviet Union.... and every time our Alert birds launched they thought it was for real.... We worked HARD and PLAYED HARD. After a Night Shift we got back to our dorms everyone called the Animal House. Maintenance Troops ... Regular working people. we started partying as you do.... drinks , smokes, etc... and we had INCREDIBLE (tax free) KICK ASS Stereo systems. On this morning we were in my room partying with a 300 Watt Phase Linear Amp pumping through BOSE 901's and trying to crack the walls with sound ..... It was a NATO WAR exercise PRACTICING for WAR and as we opened the windows of our 4th floor Penthouse with WAR PIGS CRANKED we could view the whole base and the WAR being played out before us. Different colored smoke set off on the ground to imitate Ordinance dropped by enemy A/C meant Chemicals or HE (High Explosive) We watched Belgian F-104's strafe the base at rooftop level just below the speed of sound and as the plumes of exercise smoke exploded on the ground and we sang WAR PIGS .... we almost felt like we were on stage..... I've never seen a video as good as my memory of that party.... so ... what's the moral of the story? You've got to be on stage to live life !! ....and there's all kinds of stages 8- )

[@nm1983]

Perfect song for these guys to cover!!!!! Awesome............

[@TheMarrvvinn]

I saw them do this live in death metal makeup in Nashville at the Ryman on Halloween with my daughter (her first live show). Absolutely epic.

[@63maddog]

This is swell! Before this, I couldn't have told you a Zac Brown song! I always thought he was some kind of douchy new-age thing... I'm pleased!

[@tommack8650]

C'mon man! Letterman, Black Sabbath, Foo Fighters, n Zack Brown? Four of the greatest from 4 different genres all together in one performance ... priceless! True live rock n roll (im)perfection!

[@chrisbyars4422]

Consider the Nirvana years as ‘training wheels ‘ for Dave Grohl. What an awesome musician! There is truth in the saying ‘ sometimes an end is just another beginning

[@cbudde]

My second favorite rock performance on video after Neil Young tearing up the SNL set with Rockin in the Free World. Pure performances.

[@t18013]

I enjoyed this cover, I really did, but it's funny how it took 4 guitar players to do what Tony Iommi did all by himself. Respect for that.

[@henrymorgan4705]

Fantastic stuff. RIP Taylor

[@mdl3377]

What a good mix!

[@ookookook]

When Dave comes in at 2:28 it give me chills. Great cover!

[@nicoloveronese5544]

[@jamesbarrick3403]

I'm pretty sure that was THE BEST ever musical performance on Letterman show

Taylor Hawkins is Dave Grohl's clone with his hair dyed blonde so we wouldn't notice.

Taylor is working is butt off on this song! What a good performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last band I saw in concert was Zack's band up in PA. They were great.

That's one helluva happy drummer and Pat Smear is smiling too, they did this song great, almost as good as the original.

[@daviddownard3200]

I watched live concert videos on here and that guy is always smiling very happy doing what he's doing

[@jeffburkme]

IT KICKED ASS.....Iommi......love the comments.. Geeezus.

[@andynelson8838]

Drummer looks like a grinning skeleton, and he's good!

Love song,but it's sad lyrics written during Vietnam and sadly still relevant today

"Bodies beeld the bodies burning" -zac brown

[@Gibson1961SG]

This is why TV is dying... You should never have to shorten a masterpiece such as this to fit into a half hour show thats punctuated with about 12 minutes of commercials... Also, is that Tony Hawk on the flying V???

[@alexnewman5338]

Damn I never knew about this. This is a really fucking good cover.

[@sloppycactus2247]

i've never see Taylor wear so many cloths

[@DEVILDOGS246]

How can you complain about too many guitars? Lol could you really just picture Dave in front of a band without a guitar? Chris is lead and Pat is rhythm. Dave would just look awkward without a guitar. They didn't necessarily need Zac, but still.

[@adamscott8638]

Watch sonic highway and dont sleep on Zac Brown. Like Dave said on the show Zac could play with slayer and you would never know the difference. Very talented guitarist.
