I was NOT prepared! Foo Fighters Vocal ANALYSIS of "Learn To Fly" featuring Tenacious D!!!

So I am absolutely obsessed with the Foo Fighters right now, after having heard them for the first time last year. Dave Grohl's delivery has been absolutely on point, and the catchiness of their tracks keeps me begging for more. I still have The Pretender on repeat ever since hearing it recently on this channel as my pump up song before filming - and I need more. MORE!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Foo Fighters performing "Learn To Fly" for the first time.

@@alanfulcher460 "Everlong" or "Learn to fly"? Beside, both are amongst my absolute favourites. If you are into "Learn to fly", I can highly recommend "Euroboys - One Way Street" if you don't know them yet. IMO it has a very similar vibe and is a great song in general.

I don't think 'young' people appreciate how important music videos were before streaming/youtube became a thing. This is such a good example - the video is a mini movie, tells a story, and becomes something on its own that you want to watch, regardless of the song.

It’s truly an inspirational story about the power of music. 🎶 And cements what a LEGEND Dave is as a human. Easy to find on YT.

The Foo Fighters style of music and the humor they have in there video and the atmosphere during concerts makes its a no brainer these guy's are legends. Dave Grohl is pound for pound the funniest and nicest guy in rock and roll

[@mRcOOL5YO]

I saw them live and the PA stopped working during the the first line in of Walk, but instead of stopping the concert, the audience took over and sung 80% of the song, then the PA came back and we finished it together. Truly a magical moment. Foo fighter is an awesome band.

[@scapito]

One of my faves by them is 'Walk.' Video is so funny, but such an important and uplifting message. Written by Grohl after Nirvana and before Foo Fighters.

I grew up in Topeka. We protested them for my friend's high school project in probably 1992 (give or take a year). We made signs that poked fun at them and recorded the whole event. Not sure but we might have been the first to take him on in such a manner 😅 They always had their own cameras rolling to catch people taunting them or assaulting them.

[@PK_Mega_Awesome]

Would love to see Elizabeth's reaction to Monkey Wrench with the super long harsh vocal

[@ridesq]

My friends and I refer to that as the “screaming verse.” We don’t even have to say what song it is. We just know.

[@bloodboughtsaint777]

The Song in the Background at the beginning of the video is the Chorus from Everlong, which was their biggest hit in their previous album at the time. To give some perspective, Learn to Fly was their biggest hit from their 3rd album and Everlong was from their second album. Dave Grohl had a tradition of having a "musac" (Pronounced Myew-zack) theme play at the beginning of their music video which was from a song off their previous album. Their first album, the self-titled "Foo Fighters", was more of a grunge album. It was also technically a solo project. With only a few exceptions, every part on every track on the first album was played by David Grohl. The band was formed after the fact for touring. (Side note: Dave Grohl actually has a limited range for a lead singer. But I agree, he uses it very well. Take a look at live performances from their 1st album, and you'll see Dave going beyond his range in live performances.) On their second album, titled "The Color and the Shape", was probably their most successful album ever. This was technically the first album that the band members contributed on. However, the drummer was sub-par in Dave's mind. He would, without notice to Goldsmith, the 1st drummer hired to play for the Foo Fighters, re-record the drumming from almost all of the tracks on the 2nd Album. It was controversial at the time, and the Foo Fighters almost broke up during the second album. Nate, the Bass Player, was lifelong friends with Goldsmith (they were both part of the same band before playing for the Foo Fighters). He almost left over this. Dave managed to smooth things over with Nate and he stayed. Pat Smear, the 1st lead guitarist, didn't appreciate the level of drama in the band at the time. To make matters worse, Dave divorced his first wife, and Pat took Dave's ex-wife side in the matter. Pat would leave during the promotion of the Color and the Shape, shortly after Tyler Hawkins joins as the drummer. To take Pat's place as the lead guitarist, Franz, a member of Scream (a DC punk band that Dave drummed for before drumming for Nirvana). Basically, Dave would play about half the parts on "The Color and the Shape", with Pat and Nate handling their parts. Tyler Hawkins would join the bad after recording the album and be in the Everlong video. The video for "My Hero" would take place after Pat left, and Franz starts playing for the band. So, there are different line-ups for the music video for the 2nd album, and it's mostly Dave still. Franz leaves the Foo Fighters by the end of the touring for the 2nd album. Their 3rd album, "There is Nothing Left to Lose", is the only time that the Foo Fighters is officially a 3-member band. On the studio recording Dave handles the drumming for "Learn to Fly", but Hawkins does the drumming for the rest of it. Also, Dave is handling all of the Guitar parts for this album. So, in many respects, Foo Fighters is still, primarily, a solo project; or at least, it's Dave's band lead by his creative control. The first 3 albums are special in that Dave's personal creative force is dominant and prevalent in the process. However, the 4th album, "One by One" is what I consider to be the Foo Fighters 1st True Album as a Band, and not as a solo project. By the 4th album, each band member has equal creative control for song writing, performance, and production, with few exceptions. What I feel is the true Foo Fighters' sound is capture in their first track on the 4th album, "All my Life". Also, Chris Shiflett is the official lead guitarist at this time, and all four members are resigned to playing their respective instruments on every track with few exceptions. In short, I recommend "All my Life", and maybe "Times Like These" from "One by One" for your next Foo Fighters reviews. Later on, "Wasting Light" (which is arguably my most favorite album after "The Color and the Shape") has "Rope" and "Walk", which are also right up your alley if you like the Foo Fighters Sound. By that point, Pat Smear as rejoined the band as a 3rd guitarist, and a full member.

Foo Fighters is my favorite band, and the joy of watching you discover the many facets of them is just so heartwarming! A lot of people are suggesting Times Like These in the comments, and I heartily agree. I highly recommend the live version at the Taylor Hawkins tribute at Wembley. It was the first song that Foo Fighters performed publicly without Taylor, and Dave had written the song about a rift between him and Taylor and them resolving it-- the line "do I stay or run away and leave it all behind" was wondering if Foo Fighters would break up and if Dave would join Queens of the Stone Age (with whom he had just recorded and was playing some shows with, while Foo Fighters were taking a break.) The performance of Times Like These is absolutely gut-wrenching, but so cathartic. It is such a poignant example of the relationship, love, support, and shared grief of not just the members of the band and their friends and family, but the way the audience palpably send their love and energy to Dave and the band to be able to make it through the performance! I wasn't there, just watching it live, but I will never, ever forget it!

[@squidobarnez]

Singing this song aloud in the car while I was driving with a brain tumor headache way back in 2003 was the only reason I kept the pain away long enough to get home safely, so thank you for analyzing this one. *high-fives-like-whoa*

Foo Fighters gave a free concert at Tower Records in Rockville MD. It was 20 something years ago. I missed work that day. They were so good!

[@andrewjuby6339]

11:30 The pigtails do a lot, but Dave is really selling the character here. Foo Fighters did a lot of goofy weirdness in their early videos (Everlong and Big Me spring to mind), but what makes them so entertaining is that the band has no reservations about going full ham.

We actually looked forward going to work.

This is one of my favorite videos. It’s so much fun. Dave Grohl seems like a down to earth guy, who doesn’t take himself or his celebrity too seriously. Maybe that’s due to his being from the Midwest. He was on a panel once and someone was asking everyone on the panel what was the one song they wish they would have written? All the other panelists were naming songs that they thought were really great, and Dave said he wished he had written Happy Birthday, because of all the royalties. 😅

best talent award goes to Dave 😄 So much in character.... pure talent.🙌

[@Robert_Herring]

Wonderfully fun reaction/analysis, Elizabeth. Dave and company are a gift. I would love to see you look into something from the album they put out after Taylor and Daves's mom passed. "The Teacher" shows a completely different side to Dave and the band.

I can't wait for the Everlong reaction. She is going to love it!

Please look into analyzing Paul McCartney's voice from the live album "Wings Over America" (1976). His voice on the album ranges from smooth as silk, to bluesy, to raspy rocker. The man was a beast in his prime!

The first Foo Fighters song I ever heard, was his acoustic version of Everlong, on the Howard Stern show. Instant fan.

[@patrickholt2270]

I'm pretty sure that the Muzak theme in the background at the beginning when Jack Black was "doctoring" the airplane galley was the melody from Foo Fighters' _Everlong._

I shared this video with my granddaughter when she was younger and she thought it was hilarious!! One of my favorites!!

Imagine taking this flight. I don't know what it is but I kept seeing Dave Grohl on my flight 😂

I mean, I would be stoked to pick his brain on a flight.

Kirk works with RCA on a few other projects. They've talked to Foo Fighters management about a Tea Time on our behalf. Dave's not doing interviews right now, but it's not a no. It's a "maybe in the future, we'll see."

I'm 25 and was raised on Foo fighters. By far the king said of music videos

[@JeremyNiemczyk]

What happened is the Foo Fighters went "old school" and created an actual Music video. And a great one to go with a great song!

[@efwewfwef1549]

exactly!!

[@edwardikin6891]

Great video as always, Elizabeth. What keeps me coming back to videos like this is the sheer joy you seem to get from music that does the exact same to us listeners. It's been a great journey seeing you discover the likes of AIC, SOAD, Incubus and now Foo Fighters - all artists that have played a huge part in my (and im sure alot of other subscribers) life. Thanks for sharing your journey and looking forward to more great content.

[@phraggers]

This song is the defining soundtrack of my high school years, you always make analysing songs I know really fun! This was also my first introduction to Foo Fighters watching this on ChannelV or VH1, back when there were music channels that played music videos

[@tommyc139]

Foo fighters are the most coolest rock band in music there music videos are awesome ❤

[@ethandonhardt478]

If you want to listen to a Foo Fighter's song that is a melting pot of smoothness, drive, growth, great storytelling, and a powerful message I think 'Walk' is a great example of that, and it is one of my favourite songs that I always listen to

[@ethandonhardt478]

The video is also extremely funny and entertaining too!!

[@billadkins5150]

Dave can do it all.

[@stephenm8725]

This is my favorite Foo Fighters song to date. The music video depicted here is definately apart of the reason why. Dave's vocals and lyrics are another big reason. Thanks for this

[@EricTheSwede]

I can't wait until we get "Best of You" from Wembley!

ahahah saw them live in Germany ... owow they do rock .. massively.. loved them so much ... well done

Flying with the Foo Fighters? Elizabeth and a Top Gun Reaction? #letsfly A Suggestion : Iron Butterfly's Doug Ingle left the stage for good on May 24th, so we're playing the 17 minute version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Elizabeth Would Like It, almost all solos! 👈😁

[@SanderMom]

Foo Fighters is fantastic! This is one of their best videos. I personally love their song All My Life. Completely different vibe!

[@MrHamish121]

Been looking forward to this video! Please do a react to Best of You at some point. Live at Wembley or the acoustic version on their Skin and Bones tour I'd recommend

[@karyngodbold6591]

I agree! Skin and Bones is a beautiful stripped down concert that gives you a much better sense of Dave’s easy, soft voice and Wembley is a great version of the big stadium shows that the Foos do so well. Great suggestions!

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

Elizabeth, I would love to see you and Rick Beato do a sit down convo, maybe a Tea Time Interview? You guys both share a passion for music in general and I think it would be fun to see where the conversation goes, I also think You should ask Dave Grohl to do the Teat trime interview, He is such a down to earth guy I think he would go for it.

[@GraySkies-wj6pc]

New subscriber as of a week or two; I genuinely really love your analyses of some of my favorite rock, metal and classic rock bands from my childhood that I grew up with because of my generation or because of my Dad; your insight really gives words to a lot of what I felt made so many of these songs special and standout when it comes to lyrics and the talent of the vocalists in their craft! Thank you for applying your talents and skills in such a way, I genuinely feel as if your channel has rekindled a spark I lost for a long time when it comes to appreciating music; I never stopped loving it, but that love now feels new all over again. As far as recommendations go, I know you’ve covered the metal band Kamelot in the past, but I didn’t see a video covering “The Haunting (Somewhere In Time)”, so I wholeheartedly recommend that song (if you have covered it already and I just didn’t see it, I apologize for missing it!). There is something about it that really stands out to me that I feel deserves an in-depth analysis. I admit I am a bit biased due to relating to the content of the lyrics, but there is something that I feel is both beautifully hopeful and hauntingly(!) sad about it that brings such an interesting mix of emotions to mind. Looking forward to potentially seeing a future video on it, and to recommending more songs in the future! Consider me a lifetime fan of yours! ☺️🙏❤️‍🔥

[@philliplamew3945]

It reminds me of being a kid in the 90's and the lazy summer days spent with friends, listening to this kind music. Also, it's my all time favorite song, by my all time favorite band.

[@vinnyganzano1930]

One of the best and funniest of the Foo Fighters videos and a superb song. Always gives me a lift and leaves me feeling positive.

[@terakahn]

I must have listened to this song over 1000 times in high school. I love this song and this band to this day. Glad you're discovering more of them. Still hoping you do an analysis of Everlong studio version. The live version you listened to was quite teh departure from the normal performance. If you get the chance, I'd love to hear your take on Next Year by Foo Fighters, as well. it was the soundtrack to a TV show in the 90s called Ed, which was pretty cool.
