Rapper REACTS to Foo Fighters - Everlong! This song is perfect

[@JS-TexanJeff]

Doesn't matter who it is, everyone loves Dave Grohl. Kind of like everyone likes Keanu Reeves, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson. They are just down-to-earth, stand-up people, despite their fame and wealth.

[@ki_tb12]

💯💯💯❤️

[@JeffKelly03]

It makes so much sense that Dave and Jack Black are tight. They’re two just universally beloved dudes who just seem like they’re legitimately awesome.

[@williamallen7984]

To be fair, horrible people dislike them…but there’s a reason for that lol

[@thatsmyassbrostop]

​@@JeffKelly03They're both insanely cringe and a LOT of people think so. Especially to Jack Black. He's really difficult to watch if you're over the age of 15.

[@krista8920]

I have recently really come to adore him. Like just wanna give him a big hug.

[@BB-yh5rd]

Wife and I been to 5 Foo Fighters shows. They're so damn good. Grohl lost one best friend, Kurt Cobain and he just lost his other best friend to drugs. Depressing, don't know how he comes back again but if he does, we'll be there.

[@karenmikalofsky5287]

They are great live! Saw them twice. Nonstop energy!

[@matthewgilfus1640]

Kurt basically lost his life to drugs too.

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

Dave Grohl = the drummer who lost his lead singer (Nirvana), and the lead singer who lost his drummer (Foo Fighters). Yet, he continues to be such an amazing person.

[@PaulRodriguez9]

Pat Smear = the guitarist who lost his lead singer (Germs), then lost his other lead singer (Nirvana), then lost his drummer (Foo Fighters). People don’t credit Pat, he’s so underrated and such a great dude! Pat is a legend.

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

@@PaulRodriguez9 gosh, yes, Pat is a legend and such a talent. I didn’t mean to overshadow him at all! Can I also give Pat a ton of credit for working with women artists and producers in a time that it wasn’t that well accepted? All respect!

❤ cant wait to see them in June when they come to Scotland ❤

[@jameslong3752]

Dave was the only Foo Fighter at first, he wrote and played all of the insterments on the first album named "Foo Fighters". Dave then formed the band Foo Fighters to support the album.

[@nathanclarke2777]

A little nice story about this song! David Letterman when he had his heart attack and was stuck in the hospital Listened to this album and this song so much! A few years later when he was retiring, for his last show he had the Foo Fighters play and had them play this song at the end of the broadcast. He credits them and this song to keep him going after the heart attack and just told them he will always be greatful for it!

LOVE THIS!

[@MamaJewels99]

I remember that episode. It was pretty awesome.

[@ceceliarussell-jayne2447]

That’s great. David Letterman brought on awesome music guests. I’ll never forget Steve Earle sing Taney Town.

[@donniew1968]

They played Everlong on Letterman 5 times including his last show.

[@christopherlloyd3270]

The first Foo Fighters CD that came out, was all Dave Grohl. He played drums, guitar, bass, rhythm guitar and all the vocals. I believe he mixed and produced it as well.

[@willracer1jz]

Yes you are correct

[@TheTomatenfisch]

I remember buying their first Album when I was 15. Ive been on holdays in the UK and just bought the MC (casette back then ) cause i like the Album cover. Nobody ever heard of Foo Fighters. "Big Me" just blew me away... I turn 43 next month.

[@MundoDragon]

Yes, he did it to try to find the inspiration in music again that he had lost when Kurt died. It ended up 'healing' him, and thus Foo Fighters was born.

[@shanebrodeur8641]

It’s crazy bc it’s so good even just being him

[@chrisahrens2321]

Dave Grohl (singer) was the drummer in Nirvana & after he died, Grohl created the Foo & became bigger than ever. He also played the guitar solo part & was the demon for Tenacious D's song "Tribute"

[@cjonesufc]

He played drums on basically all the Tenacious D albums.

[@tryaluck]

He also played drums for Queens of the stone age.

[@alexanderwarby-cooper3549]

Tenacious D's Pick Of Destiny too 👍Brilliant movie 🎬

[@samfisher6606]

I highly recommend the song "Times Like These." It was written at a time when it looked like the band was going their separate ways. They play it at every concert to remind themselves how good they have it. It takes on new meaning after their drummer OD'ed in 2022. I highly recommend you watch the version from his memorial concert.

[@toddrotton218]

Dave was a punk rocker. The coolest thing about Dave is how humble and fan friendly he is. Got a heart of gold. You should check out some of their live performances when they bring someone out of the audience to play with them on stage. One simple kind gesture from the band will change some fans life. It's something they don't have to do but do it for the fans.

[@vonbass1300]

The Acoustic version will blow you away. It changes how the song feels, and it really becomes a love song on a next level. He does it half and half ,live now.

[@johnohrstrom5112]

Yeah, you get more depth from it stripped down. Odd how that happens sometimes.

[@daisy9910]

I had the acoustic version played when I got married.

[@catherineday951]

Check out this song, live at Wembley, 2008. Dave has the audience in the palm of his hand the whole time... it's fantastic!!

[@ericfaulkner7751]

One of my favorite versions of this song is when Dave invited Nandi Bushell to play drums for them in LA. She was great and they killed it.

[@coolhand96]

Yea Man , You Have To Watch That He Did With Her At The Forum In LA On 8/25/2022 !!!!! He Bought An 11 Year Girl On Stage And She Played This Song on The Drums As There Closing Song !!!!!

[@alexanderwilkins4496]

One of my favorite details I learned about this song later in life is that Dave approached this song (songwriting wise) as a drummer. He translated his time signatures with drums to guitar which explains some of the tones he achieves and the synchronization. If you have a moment, Dave gives an explanation to the meaning of the song, complete with his life at that moment post Nirvana, with a live acoustic performance. In the striped down version you can really see his explanation in real time.

[@michaelwheeling7422]

He also sat in on the drums with Queens of the Stone Age' " No one knows.

[@michaelforsythe8682]

Now check out the same song performed *live* by the Foo Fighters with then-11 yr old drum phenom Nandi Bushell on the sticks. She had challenged Dave Grohl to a drum-off a couple times during COVID, and impressed him so much he invited her to the US to sit in with the band (she's a Brit). Very cool. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKSnmKWBmcitd6c

Dave grohl once covered prince's darling Nikki. When prince performed at the superbowl he covered the foo fighters the best of you. That should tell you how good the foo fighters are. If i remember correctly Dave once said the gap band was an influence for him as a drummer. I think that's where he got the drum parts for smells like teen spirit

[@GauldenBoi]

Dave Grohl actually played for a few bands after Nirvana's ending. My personal favorite aside from Foo Fighters was when he played drums for The Queens Of The Stone Age

[@jasonremy1627]

He also was in Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers for a hot minute. Played a handful of gigs, including IIRC an SNL spot, but he decided to turn down their offer to join full time because it wasn't the right time for him to get back into a band full time.

[@pastorofmuppets13]

This song live is amazing - the Wembley performance and also the one with Nandi Bushell on drums. If you want your heart to break a little, try "My Hero" by them live at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert where his 16 year old son plays his late father's drums... it is beautiful but bittersweet. Dave Grohl is considered one of the nicest guys in muisc!

Dave Grohl is a huge Led Zeppelin fan. His musical inspiration on drums was the late great John Bonham of LZ. The Foo Fighters were part of the Kennedy Center Honors performances in honor of Led Zeppelin. Also, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined the Foo Fighters at Wembley where the band covered two Led Zeppelin songs. Dave frequently mentions Led Zeppelin in interviews. Dave Grohl attended the Led Zeppelin Celebration Day O2 concert which was the first time they performed together in over 20+ years with John Bonham’s son Jason on the drums. This concert holds the record for most request for tickets with over 20M people worldwide tried to get seats. Please react to Kashmir from the O2 concert as the older guys showed why they (Led Zeppelin) are one of the best bands ever.

OK. I have been a Foo Fighters fan circa 1998. I was not really a Nirvana fan at all but I did listen to their popular songs on the radio. Dave Grohl (lead singer for Foo Fighters) was the drummer for Nirvana and after the passing of Cobain, from what I learned, Dave was offered a job to play drums for Tom Petty's band but he declined, for whatever personal reason he had. Dave formed his current band (which is awesome). Dave did also play the drums for, The Queens of the Stone Age song, "No one Knows" which was a great display of Dave's ability. Several years ago, the Foo Fighters performed, live, at the Acropolis in Greece, it was premiered on PBS, it is worth watching.

[@flor9389]

As the dad of (soon to be) 2 little girls you MUST watch the version of this song where he had a young, AMAZINGLY talented girl named Nandi Bushell from England whose father taught her to play drums. She fell in LOVE with the Foo Fighters and she challenged Dave Grohl to a "drum off" online. I think she was 9 or 10 years old. He took her up on it and she CRUSHED THIS SONG!!! It was so good he brought her on stage to play with them in London and the video will knock your socks off. She is going to be a superstar. Go watch it NOW!!! See what having a loving, involved father can do for a little girl! You eon't even believe this kid. And her dad is her biggest fan. And she Nd Dave are best buddies to this day.
