Dave Grohl created Foo Fighters after Nirvana. The first Foo Fighters album he made by himself. He played all the instruments and sang. You should check out Everlong by Foo Fighters
My best friend died from a brain tumour when I was in my late 20s, and as per his request Learn to Fly was playing on low in the background on repeat in the hours before he passed
Date Grohl , was a big as much of a Nirvana fan as the rest of us was, he replaced the original drummer of Nirvana! Not just Nirvana but he, respects Nirvana and his friend, the late Kurt Cobain!!! Don't believe in god but God rest his soul, Kurt was lost to us far too short for sure
Also, Dave is known as one of the kindest people in Rock and Roll. Dig into his story, and how the Foo’s came about. You’ll fall in love them. Promise.
After Kurt Cobains death, Dave mourned so hard he couldn’t even listen to music for like 8 months ( I get it) After that he recorded his first album all alone just to see what would happen. The rest is history.
In 1994, Dave Grohl recorded an entire album on his own-sing and playing almost every instrument-and used the name "Foo Fighters" to hide his identity After getting a record deal, Grohl needed members to play the songs live Thus, the Foo Fighters were formed
Their live shows are amazing. He fell off the stage, broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. They bandaged it, carried him back on stage and he finished the concert.
Not only did he finish it, but sat down in a chair and had a medic hold his ankle in place for the remaining 2 or so hours of the show or his ankle would be permanently damaged. The accident happened about 20 minutes into the show, and Dave didn't want to disappoint his fans by having to stop the show so early. There was a program Dave was on several years later where they reunited him with that medic. The host asked the medic if he minded sitting there holding Dave's foot that whole time. He said, "not really". Because even though this was a job for him, he also happened to be a big Foo Fighters fan.
I think the point that Dave was Nirvana's drummer was made MULTIPLE times during the video. 🙄😉 But yeah... The definition of dedication and talent could have his picture behind it.
Dave Grohl is a legendary beast and it's not just the Nirvana connection. This man done picked up from that whole mess and made a band and a name for himself that has endured 20+ years. The Foo Fighters are amazing and there are sooo many hits and great songs. One of my favorites is called All My Life. Lastly, he's just a really down to earth, nice guy.
Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins? Insane! Taylor is the drummer. Dave was the drummer for Nirvana. They are both CRAZY, SICK TALENTED. Look into the Foo Fighters. You’re welcome.
Dave Grohl is known as the nicest guy in Rock, and for good reason. He recorded the first Foo Fighters album by himself (except 1 song he had an additional guitar player). He is a musical genius and can play most songs by ear. Foo Fighters even put out an album earlier this year with a bunch of Bee Gees covers, and they're really good. I am a super fan, so I'm pretty biased, so keep that in mind. More Foo Fighters songs to check out are: I'll Stick Around Monkey Wrench Learn to Fly All My Life Best of You Long Road to Ruin Walk Something From Nothing Run Shadow Dancing (Andy Gibb cover).
Drummer turned singer...check out Phil Collins. He was the drummer of Genesis then became their singer before launching his solo career. Highly recommended the live version of In the air tonight 👌
Man, I WISH I could sing this .... EVERY time I hear it I feel like I can knock down brick walls - I can't - I'm a 63 year old wimp lol! but this is just such a stupendously good track and video it ALWAYS has that effect on me. It's like going into battle. You guys are great to listen to BTW - I struggle a bit with the lingo and accent but I guess that's how American's feel listening to Scottish people or Cockney's (Londoners) ... Oh and your kid was cool too the other day - looked like a little drummer in the making. Nothing cheers me up like my friends (nearly 3) year old being put on the phone in the morning, asking if I can visit - they are so funny - HARD work but funny as hell. Parents should get some kind of (solid gold) medal.
Music is an amazing thing there is so many story's told in so many different ways its great Dave broke jis leg during a show he went to the hospital got a cast and went back and finished the show if i remeber right
You really need to delve into Dave’s other projects, all around music. Books, movies, documentaries, soundtracks, interviews. If you get the chance, watch their concert video from Wembley stadium in London. They are so respected, Dave is literal friends with members of Led Zeppelin and Paul McCartney of the Beatles. He’s performed with them as well as socialized. Dave is also only 50 years old and inducted twice into the rock and roll hall of fame for Nirvana and Foo Fighters, FF just this year, their first year of eligibility (25 years from their first album). This guy is a family man - married with three young daughters. I just can’t say enough about him. Good dude.
Dave Grohl dropped out of high school to pursue his dream of being in a punk band. He ended up in Seattle Washington and became the drummer for Nirvana (then considered a punk band in the late 80's). But "The Seattle Sound" eventually evolved and became known as "Grunge" and it changed the musical world. When Kurt Cobain died April 5th 1994, Dave went into a deep mourning. He eventually dealt with his pain by writing his own music, playing all the instruments, then dubbing in all the vocals in his home studio. The demo tape he created was circulated to his friends. Everyone was so impressed they wanted to sign up and create a band with him, eventually getting a record contract and released their first Album, July 4th 1995. That's how the Foo Fighters started, almost by accident. This past October, 2021, the Foo Fighters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Dave Grohl was inducted with Nirvana in 2014. So Dave Grohl is one of a very small class of musicians who are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame more than once, with a different group. There are SOOOOO many Foo Fighter Songs and video's that are fantastic! It is a very deep rabbit hole to go down, but the Foo's are worth it. My personal favorites are.. "Hero" released 1998 th-cam.com/video/EqWRaAF6_WY/w-d-xo.html "These Days" release 2011 th-cam.com/video/YDVAQI-4lto/w-d-xo.html Way to many more to list. Long Live the Foo's!
I went to their last concert in LA last summer, witnessing this song live was something else. Didn’t know it’d be the last time the Foos would be performing in LA, RIP Taylor
First Foo Fighters album was all Dave - every instrument and vocals. But if you wanna do stadium gigs you need friends. Drums is his first love though, he looks at a guitar and sees a drum set and plays accordingly - he can't read sheet music. Foo Fighters is in good hands with Taylor Hawkins on the drums though (although even Taylor is starting to do some vocal work).
One of the incredible things about Dave Grohl is he doesn't know how to read music, he said he sees music like legos & just knows by ear how to arrange it & he said while playing guitar he looks at it like drums the higher pitch/thin strings as symbols & down to the thicker/bottom strings as bass drums.
‘Come Alive’ by Foo Fighters is an underrated song from this same album. Starts fully acoustic and ends as one of their heaviest jams. There’s a drum fill in it that I always rewind and listen to about 4 times before finishing the song.
David Grohl is amazingly talented. That dude has more creativity in his little finger than most of today's "bands" have in their entire lineup, lol. As you said, he was the drummer for Nirvana (and one of the world's best drummers), and now the lead singer of the Foo Fighters (two of the most important bands of all time), he's a two-time inductee in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. For me, the Foo Fighters are kind of hit and miss, I like a lot of it, some of it is not for me, but you gotta respect what they do, they are, in my opinion, the last of the great rock bands, and they keep it going year after year (I think they're together something like 25 years now!). Also, David is a talented writer (I'm reading his current book [The Storyteller] now, it's pretty good). And on top of all that, he's widely considered to be one of the nicest guys in Rock and Roll. Dude is the real deal.
Fav Foo song, a banger. Just want go out and conquer!! ❤ Not only is Dave talented, probably nicest guy in rock. 😁 "Everlong" and "Learn To Fly" are pretty popular. Good one guys, enjoyed it!! ❤👍🏽
Dave Grohl is a 2×Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Musician for both Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl is not only an amazing musician but also an amazing person...on of the most humble people around.
The context of that song on that particular episode is what really makes that performance hit harder. That was the SNL right after Biden was officially announced to have won the presidency.
Dave is just pure talent. Foo Fighters are more than what Nirvana could have ever been. They have great songs and the best, most fun to watch videos. Learn to Fly is a must!
Yeah, it is difficult for an artist to break away and become popular, after his/her previous band was so huge... Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page did a band called The Firm, but they lasted only 2 albums... Zeppelin's singer Robert Plant did well as a solo singer, but was overshadowed by his work w/ Zeppelin... KoRn's guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch struggled w/ solo projects after leaving KoRn for a while... Even Roger Waters of Pink Floyd saw his solo career cool off after leaving Floyd in 1984, but he bounced back after 2000 by playing Pink Floyd sets as a solo artist. After Nirvana's end in 1994, bassist Krist Novoselic tried solo projects like Sweet 75... Eyes Adrift... neither did well. Dave Grohl had started to write his songs while in Nirvana, and recorded an album on which he played drums, guitar & bass, plus the vocals. That was the first Foo Fighters album, which was released in 1995... Grohl hired Nirvana's touring guitarist Pat Smear, bassist Nate Mendel & drummer William Goldsmith - 2 former members of the band Sunny Day Real Estate... to tour as the Foo Fighters. Radio put them on the air, and so did MTV. That record sold platinum in the US and did very well in Europe. The song 'Big me' had a hit music video spoofing a Mentos commercial (The Foo Fighters got pelted w/ Mentos at their shows after it came out!) The second album 'Color & the shape' became a huge MTV success in 1997 w/ 4 music videos... 'Monkey wrench'... 'Everlong' ... 'My hero'... 'Walking after you'... but drummer William Goldsmith left the band after Dave Grohl opted to play almost all the drums on the record... drummer Taylor Hawkins joined the band afterwards. The 3rd Foo Fighters album 'There is nothing left to lose' was recorded as a trio - Grohl, Mendel and Hawkins (guitarist Pat Smear left the band) and it delivered another big single 'Learn to fly' in 1999. Guitarist Chris Shiflett joined the band. Sessions for the 4th album 'One by one' were problematic... Dave Grohl also recorded a metal project Probot, and played drums on the Queens of the Stone Age record 'Songs for the deaf' in 2002... When Grohl finished a tour w/ QOTSA, Foo Fighters re-recorded 'One by one' and it became a huge record in 2002 w/ songs like 'All my life'... 'Times like these'. Foo Fighters recorded a double album 'In your honor' in 2005, and a live acoustic record 'Skin & bones' in 2006. The next record "Echoes, silence, patience & grace' in 2007 brought even more success w/ 'The Pretender' single here... a hilarious video for 'Long road to ruin'. By this point, Foo Fighters went on tour w/ more members... Pat Smear returning as a 3rd guitarist, Rami Jaffee on keyboards... They sold out 2 nights at the new Wembley Stadium in England on that tour in 2008 which made the concert DVD "Live at Wembley Stadium". In 2011, Foo Fighters recorded the 'Wasting light' album w/ Nirvana's producer of 'Nevermind' - Butch Vig. The album hit #1 on the US charts for the first time. They carried on with successful records... 'Sonic Highways' in 2014, 'Concrete & gold' in 2017, and their latest record 'Medicine at Midnight' in 2021, which was inspired by Eighties pop rock records.
Prolly already mentioned but he's played drums with Queens of the Stone Age, NIN, he had another one-off project called Probot feat. members of other known metal bands like Motorhead, yet another project called Them Crooked Vultures w/John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin...he stays busy haha
Foo Fighters have so many great songs....You should check out Queen of the Stone Age"No one knows" to get a better idea of how great of a drummer he is!!!
He has been the drummer in different bands over the years as side projects. "Queens of the Stone Age" for awhile and for the super group "Them Crooked Vultures " to name a few. Your kinda jumping in way down the line with this song. You should check out some of the early classics, I'll Stick Around, Big Me, This is a Call, Monkey Wrench, Everlong, My Hero
Love that you are so varied in your musical taste an not just open to new genres but want to start listening to a lot more variety.. Not to mention you look things up am do your homework. Love it man, definitely love watching em all
Rock, Punk and Heavy-Metal despite not always align with broad social-issues, still have some of the best songs around what people would still, nowadays, consider "broader social-issues"!
❤ Dave Grohl Another amazing drummer Phil Collins started out as the drummer for Genesis. After Peter Gabriel left he became the lead singer for Genesis and eventualy went solo. You should check out his song In the air tonight ( live ) I think you will like it
I think this dude might be one of the best people on the planet. Its all out there. His last 2 years of cover tunes he did for celebrating Chanukah are gold!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 You NEED 2 react 2 Mic Reckless his Fire in the booth part 4!! Some call him the UK Eminem, but he is Reckless no matter what! Grtz qnd love from Amsterdam
Foo Fighters did a documentary of music history in various cities called “Sonic Highways”. A must see and hear. They produced an album of music from each city experience.
Paul McCartney sang and played base guitar/piano in The Beatles, he can also play guitar and drums and probably more instruments that I don't know about. He actually played the drums in a song on one of Foo Figters albums.
Love these guys. I will never forget them inducting Rush into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. ❤ That's worth checking out BTW, with the performance is even better.
I'm really loving watching your reactions to new (to you) music! Since you're interested in Dave Grohl and drummers, PLEASE check out Dave mentoring Nandi Bushell, an amazingly talented kiddo who ROCKS with the best of them. She can play anything and does so with pure joy and intensity. Dave is her hero and she challenged him to a drum battle. It's EPIC and totally adorable! th-cam.com/video/OZBQW2gE0Ew/w-d-xo.html and then he wrote a song just for her th-cam.com/video/Wj3EdfXVSb8/w-d-xo.html. She even played with him live th-cam.com/video/jsDgrKdczAE/w-d-xo.html
The live shows he brings people from the crowed to jam if you get a chance check out the jam he did with the KISS guy keep up the good work i have said before i have played for 50 years and love how fast you pick up on songs both of you Keep Rockin..

06:09 - there is another example of a drummer becoming lead singer -> Phil Collins drummer on Genesis , then lead Singer on Genesis.
The first Foo Fighters album was recorded in the same studio Nirvana recorded their last song. Dave Grohl is carrying the torch that Kurt lit 🔥 Kurt and Dave actually harmonized beautifully vocally, and in fact he was considering using some of Dave's songs to become Nirvana songs. Marigold was actually released but Kurt loved "Exhausted" and "Alone Easy + Target"
You should check these guys for some "Punk-rock". :) Bad Religion - 'Them and us' or 'Ferile Crescent' Propagandhi - 'Mate Ka Moris Ukun Rasik An' or 'Victory lap'
he did a tribute album called PROBOT where he paid tribute to his fav bands from when he was growing up and wrote all the songs and played all the instruments then got the vocalist of each band to sing on their respective tracks-check out the video for SHAKE YOUR BLOOD featuring LEMMY
Taylor Hawkins' son, Shane, played "My Hero" on the drums in place of his dad during the tribute concert...check it out, it's amazing and brings tears to my eyes
Dave Grohl is a legitimate rock star! He actually started off as a guitarist in a band when he was a teenager. Their drummer sucked and Dave was like, "I can drum better than that!" He started drumming and Nirvana recruited him. After Kurt Cobain died, Grohl started Foo Fighters by himself. The very first Foo Fighters album is all Dave Grohl. He played and recorded every instrument in that album. Check out Foo Fighters - I'll Stick Around, from the first album. It has a much more Nirvana feel to it
As you enjoyed this can I recommend watching "everlong" live by the foo fighters. In particular the version ft Nandi Bushell on drums, she is an 11yo girl from the UK who is a musical prodigy. She has her own TH-cam channel and challenged Dave Grohl to a "drum off" A lengthy affair which she won, which resulted in her being invited to play the drums on the final song of their live concert "everlong" you will love it.
Dave Grohl is what an artist should be. He doesn't care about the money. He doesn't really care for the fame. He just cares about the music. He's, also, a really chill guy. No real ego. And he makes seriously good music. "Everlong" is a Top 3 in all music for me. The album cut or acoustic, the song is just good. As is most of their music. Just on a extra bit of info on them. They did a concept album called Sonic Highways. They went to a city, spent about a week and learned its history. Wrote a song about it while still there. It was a mini-series on HBO. Yet, sadly, didn't make the move to HBOMax.
Kurt Cobain actually loved two of Dave's songs that he wrote while he was in Nirvana. You see Kurt done all the writing in Nirvana. Dave made a tape and played it for Kurt. The songs are amazing! They are “Exhausted” and “Alone + Easy Target” Y'all should check them out.
inbetween nirvana and foo fighters of which he was the founder,lead singer,guitarist and primary song writer.he was in band queens of the stone age for an album as the drummer.try no one knows by them the video is weird but you see him drumming up close.he must have been tired after that one? the foo fighters have a sense of humour as you can see in learn to fly.
You want to see a drummer who is a lead singer watch Phil Collins In The Air Tonight Live from France. His last few albums he played all the instruments in the recording studio.
Can I suggest you check out Foo Fighters Hanukkah sessions. Dave and another musician cover songs by Jewish singers/bands. His daughter Violet joined to do a cover of Amy Winehouse. Music definitely runs in the family.
Foo Fighters are awesome. Dave Grohl is one of the most brilliant musicians of are time and to top it off he's known as the nicest person in the rock world.
Dave Grohl is one of the most underrated vocalists in the world. Check out the songs. Monkey wrench, DOA, Breakout, and The Colour and the Shape. You will appreciate the voice this man has
Dave and Trent *NIN* are two extremely talented musicians of that ilk...play everything, write, compose and mix everything...but the group gets credit...even like w/Trent on tour or videos, it's studio musicians or his friends. If you do a deep dive on Trent and his beginnings to now, that'd be a hell of a series. No other popular reactor has even covered his catalog of a single album...save the cover from Johnny Cash - Hurt. You'd be one of the firsts, and it's very interesting...Trent created a genre of music...
Dave Grohl created Foo Fighters after Nirvana. The first Foo Fighters album he made by himself. He played all the instruments and sang. You should check out Everlong by Foo Fighters
EVERLONG is GREAT!! If you react to it, PLEASE do this one -->>> th-cam.com/video/vLkBybsH73k/w-d-xo.html
My best friend died from a brain tumour when I was in my late 20s, and as per his request Learn to Fly was playing on low in the background on repeat in the hours before he passed
Wasn't the drummer also part of Alanis Morissette's band?
Date Grohl , was a big as much of a Nirvana fan as the rest of us was, he replaced the original drummer of Nirvana! Not just Nirvana but he, respects Nirvana and his friend, the late Kurt Cobain!!! Don't believe in god but God rest his soul, Kurt was lost to us far too short for sure
@@tjhorne82 yes
Also,
Dave is known as one of the kindest people in Rock and Roll. Dig into his story, and how the Foo’s came about. You’ll fall in love them. Promise.
They all love their mama but not like Dave 😂🤞🏽
I’ve heard it said that Dave it to music what Keanu reeves is to the movie biz. Both are known for just being great guys.
Dave is no joke. He's an amazing talent.
He's famous for pulling fans out of the crowd and letting them play.
After Kurt Cobains death, Dave mourned so hard he couldn’t even listen to music for like 8 months ( I get it) After that he recorded his first album all alone just to see what would happen. The rest is history.
In 1994, Dave Grohl recorded an entire album on his own-sing and playing almost every instrument-and used the name "Foo Fighters" to hide his identity
After getting a record deal, Grohl needed members to play the songs live
Thus, the Foo Fighters were formed
he also drums for different bands, check out Queens of the stone age song "no one knows" , he kills it on the drums, and its a great video/song.
damn did not know he did for Queens
Their live shows are amazing. He fell off the stage, broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. They bandaged it, carried him back on stage and he finished the concert.

I think the point that Dave was Nirvana's drummer was made MULTIPLE times during the video. 🙄😉
But yeah... The definition of dedication and talent could have his picture behind it.
Foo Fighters are dope. "Times like these" and "Everlong" are great songs but for my money the song they won a Grammy for, "Walk", is the best.
That is my 11 year old's favorite song by them:) I can't pick a favorite, but i love all 3 you mentioned
Walk is my favourite foo fighters song also

These two are a must ,when talking about rock
@@Fvd99789 facts bro!
The best live band I’ve seen in person. Dave Grohl plays every instrument but never had a lesson. Self-taught.
3 shows I wish I could have seen in the 90s: the foo fighters, Prince, and Garth Brooks. Garth went nuts in his shows.
Drummer turned singer...check out Phil Collins. He was the drummer of Genesis then became their singer before launching his solo career. Highly recommended the live version of In the air tonight 👌
That performance is definitely in the reaction line up! It's a must see for everyone. The song that made us all air drummers. 🤣🥁
Cheçk out hotel California by the eagles....the drummer drums and is the lead singer at the same time

EVERY time I hear it I feel like I can knock down brick walls - I can't - I'm a 63 year old wimp lol! but this is just such a stupendously good track and video it ALWAYS has that effect on me.

You don't want to try blew out his vocal cords making this music video. ☺️
Music is an amazing thing there is so many story's told in so many different ways its great Dave broke jis leg during a show he went to the hospital got a cast and went back and finished the show if i remeber right
“Everlong” is considered to be the best Foo Fighters song
Everlong is my favorite foos song
You really need to delve into Dave’s other projects, all around music. Books, movies, documentaries, soundtracks, interviews. If you get the chance, watch their concert video from Wembley stadium in London. They are so respected, Dave is literal friends with members of Led Zeppelin and Paul McCartney of the Beatles. He’s performed with them as well as socialized. Dave is also only 50 years old and inducted twice into the rock and roll hall of fame for Nirvana and Foo Fighters, FF just this year, their first year of eligibility (25 years from their first album). This guy is a family man - married with three young daughters. I just can’t say enough about him. Good dude.

You guys like this song you should try "Best of You" the energy on that song is amazing but The Foo Fighter's have so many great songs
I went to their last concert in LA last summer, witnessing this song live was something else.
Didn’t know it’d be the last time the Foos would be performing in LA, RIP Taylor

One of the best rock bands of this era, having the drummer from nirvana definitely helped.

Dave Grohl is also the drummer for Them Crooked Vultures, which also consists of John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin, and Josh Homme.
Dave Grohl is a 2×Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Musician for both Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl is not only an amazing musician but also an amazing person...on of the most humble people around.
Foo Fighters were just inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Watch their induction and live performance. Amazing!
Dave Grohl played all the instruments on the Foo Fighter's 1st album. He is also a fantastic human being that does a lot to help people.
Foo Fighters performed a classic of theirs "Times Like These" on SNL last year. Definitely check it out. They're just as great live.
The context of that song on that particular episode is what really makes that performance hit harder. That was the SNL right after Biden was officially announced to have won the presidency.

You guys should react to “No One Knows” by Queens of the Stone Age. Dave plays drums on it.
Foo fighters best of you is a must, I'm my opinion the best foo fighters song made !!!!!
Good call on this... I thought about mentioning it under Nirvana...
Check out “best of you”…his voice is amazing in it, and the message is truth💪❤️
Watch the clip of when he broke his leg falling off stage and instead of going to the hospital he finished the concert in a chair!
He grew up down the street from me in northern VA I have ran into him 4 times in DC these rhe nicest man ever.
Dave is just pure talent. Foo Fighters are more than what Nirvana could have ever been. They have great songs and the best, most fun to watch videos. Learn to Fly is a must!
Yeah, it is difficult for an artist to break away and become popular, after his/her previous band was so huge... Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page did a band called The Firm, but they lasted only 2 albums... Zeppelin's singer Robert Plant did well as a solo singer, but was overshadowed by his work w/ Zeppelin... KoRn's guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch struggled w/ solo projects after leaving KoRn for a while... Even Roger Waters of Pink Floyd saw his solo career cool off after leaving Floyd in 1984, but he bounced back after 2000 by playing Pink Floyd sets as a solo artist.
After Nirvana's end in 1994, bassist Krist Novoselic tried solo projects like Sweet 75... Eyes Adrift... neither did well.
Dave Grohl had started to write his songs while in Nirvana, and recorded an album on which he played drums, guitar & bass, plus the vocals. That was the first Foo Fighters album, which was released in 1995... Grohl hired Nirvana's touring guitarist Pat Smear, bassist Nate Mendel & drummer William Goldsmith - 2 former members of the band Sunny Day Real Estate... to tour as the Foo Fighters. Radio put them on the air, and so did MTV. That record sold platinum in the US and did very well in Europe. The song 'Big me' had a hit music video spoofing a Mentos commercial (The Foo Fighters got pelted w/ Mentos at their shows after it came out!)
The second album 'Color & the shape' became a huge MTV success in 1997 w/ 4 music videos... 'Monkey wrench'... 'Everlong' ... 'My hero'... 'Walking after you'... but drummer William Goldsmith left the band after Dave Grohl opted to play almost all the drums on the record... drummer Taylor Hawkins joined the band afterwards. The 3rd Foo Fighters album 'There is nothing left to lose' was recorded as a trio - Grohl, Mendel and Hawkins (guitarist Pat Smear left the band) and it delivered another big single 'Learn to fly' in 1999. Guitarist Chris Shiflett joined the band.
Sessions for the 4th album 'One by one' were problematic... Dave Grohl also recorded a metal project Probot, and played drums on the Queens of the Stone Age record 'Songs for the deaf' in 2002... When Grohl finished a tour w/ QOTSA, Foo Fighters re-recorded 'One by one' and it became a huge record in 2002 w/ songs like 'All my life'... 'Times like these'.
Foo Fighters recorded a double album 'In your honor' in 2005, and a live acoustic record 'Skin & bones' in 2006. The next record "Echoes, silence, patience & grace' in 2007 brought even more success w/ 'The Pretender' single here... a hilarious video for 'Long road to ruin'. By this point, Foo Fighters went on tour w/ more members... Pat Smear returning as a 3rd guitarist, Rami Jaffee on keyboards... They sold out 2 nights at the new Wembley Stadium in England on that tour in 2008 which made the concert DVD "Live at Wembley Stadium".
In 2011, Foo Fighters recorded the 'Wasting light' album w/ Nirvana's producer of 'Nevermind' - Butch Vig. The album hit #1 on the US charts for the first time. They carried on with successful records... 'Sonic Highways' in 2014, 'Concrete & gold' in 2017, and their latest record 'Medicine at Midnight' in 2021, which was inspired by Eighties pop rock records.
Prolly already mentioned but he's played drums with Queens of the Stone Age, NIN, he had another one-off project called Probot feat. members of other known metal bands like Motorhead, yet another project called Them Crooked Vultures w/John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin...he stays busy haha
This goes out to anyone. If you ever have the chance you owe it to yourself to go to a Foo Fighters show. You will not regret it.
Foo Fighters have so many great songs....You should check out Queen of the Stone Age"No one knows" to get a better idea of how great of a drummer he is!!!
2pac -Lord Knows
This song legit got me through a dark time because of how Pac relates. Huge favor if u can do this one bro. Love y’all channel! 🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥
He has been the drummer in different bands over the years as side projects. "Queens of the Stone Age" for awhile and for the super group "Them Crooked Vultures " to name a few. Your kinda jumping in way down the line with this song. You should check out some of the early classics, I'll Stick Around, Big Me, This is a Call, Monkey Wrench, Everlong, My Hero
The drummer in this video played drums on "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. You should check that one out.
Yes...I believe I know what you are saying. You don't need to keep asking.
Love that you are so varied in your musical taste an not just open to new genres but want to start listening to a lot more variety.. Not to mention you look things up am do your homework. Love it man, definitely love watching em all
Rock, Punk and Heavy-Metal despite not always align with broad social-issues, still have some of the best songs around what people would still, nowadays, consider "broader social-issues"!
Foo fighters songs you should check walk , the best of you, i'll stick around , everlong ... they got so many hits in 26 years
❤ Dave Grohl
Another amazing drummer Phil Collins started out as the drummer for Genesis. After Peter Gabriel left he became the lead singer for Genesis and eventualy went solo. You should check out his song
In the air tonight ( live )
I think you will like it
I couldn’t watch the premiere but thoroughly enjoyed their reaction. Thankfully your Phil Collins comment above saved me some typing!
If you like a drumer who can sing you must listen to dust to dust from the band "the warning"
I think this dude might be one of the best people on the planet. Its all out there. His last 2 years of cover tunes he did for celebrating Chanukah are gold!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 You NEED 2 react 2 Mic Reckless his Fire in the booth part 4!! Some call him the UK Eminem, but he is Reckless no matter what!
Grtz qnd love from Amsterdam
The foo fighters just got inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame. Also great music from them
Foo Fighters did a documentary of music history in various cities called “Sonic Highways”. A must see and hear. They produced an album of music from each city experience.
The Best of You by Foo Fighters is one of their biggest songs, it's really good
Everyone here just mentions that Dave was the drummer for Nirvana. Don't forget he was also in QOTSA touring!!!
Paul McCartney sang and played base guitar/piano in The Beatles, he can also play guitar and drums and probably more instruments that I don't know about. He actually played the drums in a song on one of Foo Figters albums.
React to The Warning doing a cover of this song... 3 young girls from Mexico 🇲🇽 playing this song.. AWESOME
Love these guys. I will never forget them inducting Rush into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. ❤ That's worth checking out BTW, with the performance is even better.
I'm really loving watching your reactions to new (to you) music! Since you're interested in Dave Grohl and drummers, PLEASE check out Dave mentoring Nandi Bushell, an amazingly talented kiddo who ROCKS with the best of them. She can play anything and does so with pure joy and intensity. Dave is her hero and she challenged him to a drum battle. It's EPIC and totally adorable! th-cam.com/video/OZBQW2gE0Ew/w-d-xo.html and then he wrote a song just for her th-cam.com/video/Wj3EdfXVSb8/w-d-xo.html. She even played with him live th-cam.com/video/jsDgrKdczAE/w-d-xo.html
Yes!!
The live shows he brings people from the crowed to jam if you get a chance check out the jam he did with the KISS guy keep up the good work i have said before i have played for 50 years and love how fast you pick up on songs both of you Keep Rockin..
06:09 - there is another example of a drummer becoming lead singer -> Phil Collins drummer on Genesis , then lead Singer on Genesis.
When Genesis' lead singer Peter Gabriel left the group, the drummer Phil Collins took over the lead. He had a great solo career as well.
These people born with pure natural talent is insane.
Foo Fighters is probably my favorite band to see live! Dave is the sweetest soul in music ❤️
The first Foo Fighters album was recorded in the same studio Nirvana recorded their last song. Dave Grohl is carrying the torch that Kurt lit 🔥
Kurt and Dave actually harmonized beautifully vocally, and in fact he was considering using some of Dave's songs to become Nirvana songs. Marigold was actually released but Kurt loved "Exhausted" and "Alone Easy + Target"
Slash-- the Guitarist from guns an roses started his own band -- Velvet Revolver 🔥
I love the way he has five voices in this song.
You should check these guys for some "Punk-rock". :)
Bad Religion - 'Them and us' or 'Ferile Crescent'
Propagandhi - 'Mate Ka Moris Ukun Rasik An' or 'Victory lap'
Yes young American, you to could rock like this. No voice play an instrument.
he did a tribute album called PROBOT where he paid tribute to his fav bands from when he was growing up and wrote all the songs and played all the instruments then got the vocalist of each band to sing on their respective tracks-check out the video for SHAKE YOUR BLOOD featuring LEMMY
Taylor Hawkins' son, Shane, played "My Hero" on the drums in place of his dad during the tribute concert...check it out, it's amazing and brings tears to my eyes
The drummer for Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins also used to drum for Alanis Morissette
Ooooh an check out Poison--- Every Rose has it's Thorn 🌹 🔥 it's definitely a Vibe !!!!
This is one of my all time favorite music videos. The part where the red wall explodes gives me chills every time.
Watching these guys play with John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin at Wembley Stadium was amazing!
Great reaction guys. And yep, its epic the way he transitioned from band to band. Not many people have pulled it of to his level..... If any.
Dave Grohl is a legitimate rock star! He actually started off as a guitarist in a band when he was a teenager. Their drummer sucked and Dave was like, "I can drum better than that!" He started drumming and Nirvana recruited him. After Kurt Cobain died, Grohl started Foo Fighters by himself. The very first Foo Fighters album is all Dave Grohl. He played and recorded every instrument in that album. Check out Foo Fighters - I'll Stick Around, from the first album. It has a much more Nirvana feel to it
As you enjoyed this can I recommend watching "everlong" live by the foo fighters. In particular the version ft Nandi Bushell on drums, she is an 11yo girl from the UK who is a musical prodigy. She has her own TH-cam channel and challenged Dave Grohl to a "drum off"
A lengthy affair which she won, which resulted in her being invited to play the drums on the final song of their live concert "everlong" you will love it.
Phil Collins started off as a drummer for Genesis, before becoming the front man for them. He then was very successful as a solo artist
Dave Grohl also plays the drums for Tenacious D since 2001.
Rock and Metal bands are so much more interesting to watch than rap videos. I'm glad your exploring music.
One of my favorite bands. Dave Grohl is one of my favorite people. A truly good person.
Alterbridge-Blackbird live
Dave Grohl is what an artist should be. He doesn't care about the money. He doesn't really care for the fame. He just cares about the music. He's, also, a really chill guy. No real ego. And he makes seriously good music. "Everlong" is a Top 3 in all music for me. The album cut or acoustic, the song is just good. As is most of their music.
Just on a extra bit of info on them. They did a concept album called Sonic Highways. They went to a city, spent about a week and learned its history. Wrote a song about it while still there. It was a mini-series on HBO. Yet, sadly, didn't make the move to HBOMax.
Kurt Cobain actually loved two of Dave's songs that he wrote while he was in Nirvana. You see Kurt done all the writing in Nirvana. Dave made a tape and played it for Kurt. The songs are amazing! They are “Exhausted” and “Alone + Easy Target” Y'all should check them out.
Foo Fighters have some of the best music videos out there,
Check him going off on the drums with Queens of the stone age - No one knows! Great song and band.
inbetween nirvana and foo fighters of which he was the founder,lead singer,guitarist and primary song writer.he was in band queens of the stone age for an album as the drummer.try no one knows by them the video is weird but you see him drumming up close.he must have been tired after that one?
the foo fighters have a sense of humour as you can see in learn to fly.
You want to see a drummer who is a lead singer watch Phil Collins In The Air Tonight Live from France. His last few albums he played all the instruments in the recording studio.
Can I suggest you check out Foo Fighters Hanukkah sessions. Dave and another musician cover songs by Jewish singers/bands. His daughter Violet joined to do a cover of Amy Winehouse. Music definitely runs in the family.
Foo Fighters are awesome. Dave Grohl is one of the most brilliant musicians of are time and to top it off he's known as the nicest person in the rock world.
Dave Grohl is one of the most underrated vocalists in the world. Check out the songs. Monkey wrench, DOA, Breakout, and The Colour and the Shape. You will appreciate the voice this man has
Dave and Trent *NIN* are two extremely talented musicians of that ilk...play everything, write, compose and mix everything...but the group gets credit...even like w/Trent on tour or videos, it's studio musicians or his friends. If you do a deep dive on Trent and his beginnings to now, that'd be a hell of a series. No other popular reactor has even covered his catalog of a single album...save the cover from Johnny Cash - Hurt.
You'd be one of the firsts, and it's very interesting...Trent created a genre of music...
Love the layering of the vocals and music
