Making of I Am a River - Foo Fighters

from Sonic Highways

[@jasonshivers1288]

I love how every time Taylor hows a snare hit it looks like its a full body experience for him

One of the greatest songs of Dave's career.

"You haven't played with headphones but you have probably played with headphones."

His speech was literally worse than Dave's.

They really did create a masterpiece. Not just this song but every song on the album is so beautiful imho :)

@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer you gotta admit, it's a good album. Not necessarily great, but good. Folgers on the other hand.....

[@mojojojo6852]

I absolutely agree.. Sonic Highways is an absolute masterpiece. And I need to add, I think it's also Butch Vig's masterpiece with the Foo Fighters. The last album he recorded with them if I'm not mistaken. With Greg Kurstin their sound has really changed over the last to LPs. Of course that also depended on the band but with Butch you get this really full and saturaded Rock sound that was so typical for Echoes and Silence, Patience and Grace and Wasting Light. I really miss it. And I really had to listen to Concrete & Gold for quite some time to appreciate the album. But now I'm also digging Greg as a producer and what the Foos are doing nowadays. Foo Fighters are my long time love when it comes to music. They never let me down. God, I'm grateful for Dave and the boys..

[@slap8704]

i might have shed a tear with the strings part... i love this SONG so much. Foo Fighter best rock band ever.

RIP Taylor Hawkins. Thank you for all of the incredible music. I’ve always looked up to you and the foo fighters growing up. We hate to see you leave so soon.

This is one of my favorites BTSs, Taylor’s “Extreme Stoke” always cracks me up.

I'm always afraid that Taylor Hawkins has PTSD or something because of the way he reacts every time he hits the snare hard.

[@CHUCKYLOSTIT]

haha i noticed that to its like beaker from the muppets

[@Jesus_Resurrection_and_Life]

He might be kicking PTSD’s arse! Personally I think he’s a sweetheart 💛🪴 He rocks. And so much more. . . .

Pat Smear has the coolest collection of guitars.

[@carlostaurox]

These guys are genius!!! I just love the harmony of this song..

[@robertsmatisons8278]

This video inspired me to write a movie script about 4 guys in their 30s and how they used to be in a band and one of them still wants to keep that dream alive coz he's a failure and the good old days of the highschool band is all he's got left.

[@palacinkasmarmeladou]

This was so awesome to watch. The whole process of making a music is fascinating. By the way the camera was excellent too. Loved the shots. 🙂

[@96peterb]

Imagine being Dave Grohl's daughter. That must be awesome!

[@Fayzer03]

i always dream of him being my father!! :) And me his son!

[@dylanmurphy2973]

Fayez Rafi ok that's a bit weird

The video man is doing a great job

[@stephenburns3262]

Taylor ty for the beats and laughter .my young twin boys and me are drummers . Glad we seen you in philly. We were going this summer and still will if they get another drummer there’s no replacement on any drummer . We have his beats forever . Just the band needs time to heal all . I hope they actually bring on Brian may and Roger Taylor or his son for couple songs the first show. To get loose and pay respect . But it’s going to kill dave with him not back there .

[@gabrielmarty3474]

I don't understand why they barely haven't played this on Concerts..

[@nJoiDK]

Gabriel Marty Probably because of the fact that the end of the song wouldn't have the same impact without the backup from the string orcestra? I don't know... Would be an awesome song to play at the end of a big stadium concert. I would love it if they did that in London 14 days from now. FF! :D

[@gabrielmarty3474]

Mads Behrend Christensen I doubt that a live situation could destroy this song's effect..in my opinion it's perfect as a stadium anthem:) are you going to the wembley show? Me too!:D June 19th or 20th?:D

[@nJoiDK]

I agree, it's an awesome song nontheless - so powerful! I REALLY hope they end the show with this one! Yeah I'm going to see them the 20th at Wmbley, can't wait! :D

+sullimd because it feels awesome

[@BigFatCock0]

It's very loud.

[@Ash_Hudson]

When you really whack the snare with each hit, it's like you're releasing your inner chi lol. That's really all it is. An exhilation of energy

[@trentflynn6568]

It's actually a timing thing. Just as a drummers left, or, right leg, always bouncing on the hi-hat pedal. It helps with timing/feel.
