"Rock & Roll Never Forgets." - Bob Seager. You're not too old to rock out until you're dead and in the grave, and even then a little head-banging if AC/DC comes on is still allowed.
No disrespect to anyone but as a young man from Melbourne Australia that followed AC/DC from pub to pub in the late ‘70s, the Foo Fighters have come closest to the raw atavistic energy of a very beloved part of my youth !
Seen them (Bon Scott) at Middlesbrough Town hall when I was 14, Then again a few years later (Brian Johnson) at Newcastle City Hall. And i have to say. Foo Fighters are not a patch on either line up. Sorry
Malcolm Young is probably the best rhythm guitar player in rock history. I can't think of anyone who comes close, honestly. James Hetfield, maybe. Malcolm was an atomic clock. You couple that with solid drums and bass and it will always sound 50 times bigger than just 3 dudes in the rhythm section. like 80% of Angus' job was rhythm playing, too, though. AC/DC is/was just such a complete band. They played rock solid with no mistakes ever.
@@datamasked623 Rick Parfitt of Status Quo...... Don´t know if you are familiar with them though :) Same setting as AC/DC guitar wise..... Agnus could play on his own, but together with his brother makes the AC/DC sound, just like Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt make the Status Quo twin guitar sound! :)
AC/DC need I say more!! At 62 years old and seeing BonScott live in 79 nothing else came close, until this! Kudos to Foo Fighters , brought back great memories of a legendary time for kick ass rock n roll! I will leave this earth still loving this music’
Onslaughts version was my 1st time hearing this. Ac/dc and Foo's, 2 of the best.... I approve 👍 These bands will never age and will never die off, even after the members have gone.
The happiness Taylor Hawkins displayed at every event he played, unmatched especially in this amazing cover. Man, him & Dave inspired me to play drums especially very recently with all their music they made throughout the years, learned it all and enjoy it everyday doing so. Rest in Peace, Legend. For everyone else, hug your close people you love dearly. ❤️🥁 - Written on the day he passed away.
One of the biggest bands in the world though. Grohl's band has done it all themselves with no real 'help' from an industry that just doesn't market rock bands, nor would he 'whore' himself out in that way. Grohl doesn't have to be a virtuoso guitarist, most rhythm players aren't. He gets on and writes excellent songs.

It makes the song. I think Chris Slade nails it too. More so than Phil Rudd. I saw them play this song in 1979 with Bon Scott at Monsters of Rock in Oakland. Just thought I'd throw that in. : )
@@thehop639 A drummer friend said no sophistication but its still hard to Rudd it. There are drummers who play along with the music and drummers like Rudd who drive the beat.
@@HeisenbergXx no can't agree with that comment on Slade at all...... He pulled off half the songs but too many songs he sped up which took away what the band were about. He ruined even more than half on the recent come back. Quick, choppy and just all out!!
@@garyglasser6478 yea true... Nobody has the groove of Rudd. I would love to see a gig with just a camera on him. Would be incredible. Also Malcolm driving the most amazing groove. Sounds simple but with the pair of them, you can't get any better!
Little Richard said that a good song has to have a rhythym you can ride. You could ride Malcolm's rhythyms all night long. Angus was flash (with substance) but Malcolm was steady as a rock.
This has always been one of my fave performances and that's because of Taylor's great and energetic drumming. The life force of this band besides Dave of course. RIP to one of the greatest rock drummers and people Taylor Hawkins ❤

You sir have been lucky to have experienced that. For me, a 24 year old from India, i crank this one, or rock or bust, or tnt, or...just anything AC/DC on me speakers. And when I do, i just cant help but get my head bobbing and start air strumming and feel the groove growing up in me body and in no time, my entire body is into it before I realise haha. Solid tunes by these folks from down under since way back when, to get one grooving even today. May you rock on for life just the way you did back in the 70s sir.
A cover should always be either exact, or totally different. This is exact, except for the sound of the singing voice which I will not hold against it. Nobody will ever sound the way Bon Scott did, but this effort is as respectfully close as it gets. Truly an amazing tribute.
Wow! No one could ever get close to the power of the original version or do a better job than Bon, but you could see the band were serious about giving this a bloody good crack! Another fine example of just how good a drummer Taylor was. Now he's jamming with Bon on the other side.
I totally agree, but I think Dave just sweats good music, just watched the DeeGees videos,the foos tribute band to the Bee Gees, if you haven't seen them its a must watch..
The foos have been my favorite band for the last 25yrs..amazing cover of this song..god bless these guys, so sad and heartbroken for them..taylor was such a generational talent..I still cant believe hes gone..I've lost so many of my favorites, Layne, chris Cornell, Scott w., and now taylor..such a sad sad day..rest in peace taylor😪
This is bloody savage, been a DC fan for 35 years, this is so cool, the look on Dave's face, like he's saying this is serious rock n roll, we have to do this justice... Brilliant 🤘

You can tell these dudes really loved ACDC. There's been heaps of covers, but this is by far, the best cover of an ACDC song, ever. Dave almost sounds like Bon in some notes, and no one held back, they all smashed it out and man, I hope this makes an album because it's fucking wicked. Foo's are really close to the top of my favourite bands, probably second behind Motorhead, and because of Dave Grohl, I got into Motorhead so I respect the hell out of all those guys, and their ability. RIP Malcom, I hope you and Bon kicked back and heard this one.
If I wanted to listen to a cover that sounded as close to the original as they could make it, but far worse, I'd just listen to the original. What's the point of listening to a cover that tries to make itself sound like the original?
I never thought I would hear a band cover AC/DC and make it sound so good. How can Dave Grohl have vocal chords after singing like that? Wow. I love the Foo Fighters.
When I was a kid I would fantasise about being in a rock band. The problem was I could never decide if I was the drummer or guitar player. I think Dave lives that every day.
One of the best covers I've seen, but it still blows me away that the ACDC version is still way heavier and more ballsy and it was recorded in the 70s.
Best and accurate rendition of this song I’ve heard so far , so many just struggle to get the no frills nature of Malcolm’s style and try and to make it something it isn’t , Dave’s nailed it as has the band 🤘
Hallo SOS! Mother and Father of all creation are here in the physical in person on earth to show the way phone home today! It's been trillions of years journey for Mama Papa to reach all on earth to wake up to this truth!
They played this live in Sydney a year or so ago. I don’t know why exactly, but the way they played it live was so phenomenal. It changed my whole perspective on the song and what AC/DC meant. This song live sounds so fucking awesome, thanks for that memory Foo Fighters
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 Yeah it was unreal, the way the song just keeps building on momentum. So much fun to hear live. Grohl really sells you on the event and spectacle of the concert too, one of those bands to see live just for the sake of it, even if you find the music dull. It’s worth it just to see them at least once. Unforgettable show.
@@holup2691 they were scheduled to play here in April last year, say no more, yes I had tix :( would have been my first show. My first AC/DC show was Back In Black :)

The fact that even top professionals at the absolut best of their abilities can't make it sound even half decent, tells you how good AC/DC actually are. Absolutely no disrespect to the Foo's here, just total admiration for AC/DC...
Well they dont have a Phil or Angus 💀😂 Other than that the vocals were great and bass too (bass is easy on this though) But yeah I get what you mean. I love this band but it was okay only because the lead guitarist sucked and the drums (great drummer) just didnt fit the style of the song. Felt a bit bland but again, I loved the vocals.
I haven't been able to listen to AC/DC since Bon left until years ago . I came to this song from the version with Bon in it. This is s not there ?? ? and I like the Foo Fighters, so I thought I would go to a version with Brian, Angus and Malcom are still awesome, it's just not the same :( th-cam.com/video/3f2g4RMfhS0/w-d-xo.html I am so old
Rocknlive all these live lounges don't sound like his best but he is the kind of guy that doesn't care if he is perfect. That's why they record albums without correcting every flaw. They are great live and I can tell his voice is not right,this day because i hear it on all the live lounge that day. But I love love love them and his voice. I think it's a really great performance
Best ACDC cover. Y'all killed it and still no matter how good I find that nobody captures that bass and guitar tone the way the boys do...that's what I find so remarkable about ACDC..how "simple" it is to play yet how impossible it is to recreate the tone and balls
Thing I love about Hawkins was that his 90% sounded like anyone else's 100%. He still had the energy to put in some little subtle licks that you just can't do when going all out. Such a great musician.
All time Ac/dc fan here. Incredible performance by Hawkins. Very close to the spirit of Rudd, but with his touch, an amazing groove and feeling of his own, but true to the original. Bless you.
This is on the edge of perfect for me. Die hard Foos and Dave fan....one of my favourite Bon Scott songs. I love how you can see the concentration and effort to give it their best. I want to see this live!! Please do this live at your Aus concerts. We will bloody love it ❤
At the age of 19 years old I saw AC/DC at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park for the 1st time live! OUTSTANDING! This is a great cover of a classic! Still love hearing Bon Scott singing this track! 🤘😜🤘 #acdcfanforlife
one of the greatest mysteries of the universe is how AC/DC can write quite the most simple riffs and make them sound sublime - its been bugging me for 40 years how the hell they do that
Think its the deception that it sounds simple, try playing em and you find it's not that straight forward. Angus and Malcolm have loads of little subtle extras that you don't know are there until you try and reproduce em.....have a go at riff raff....absolute bugger to play.
I saw ACDC in Albury...before they went to England..I was young..my dad took me to the show..he stood at the background..I ran to the stage..SING AND DANCE..
I have been a fan of ACDC since I could crawl(1980) and Dave groll with the foo fighters that was spot on... Love it and nice one guys for doing an exceptional rendition of one of my all time favourites...perfect guys👍
I think when it comes to covers mr bungle beats em all. No matter what song or genre they cover they do it perfe tly everytime from songs like "what the world needs now" "everybody is working for the weekend" "mister rogers theme" "24000 baci"(italian pop), "welcome back" "hit me baby one more time" "we are the champions" ect
Doc Darkness amen to that. Amazing contact through the instruments and the eye..Key to a great band and a great cover. One of my all time favourites for sure. Can't believe the haters on TH-cam I want thier drugs lol IDIOTS. 🙏⚡🤘🏻
That's the way to do a cover.....if you can't do it as well, or even add to it, then simply don't bother, but the Foo's do all of that and more - they add love and appreciation and understanding of a truly great band - AD/DC. Awesome musicians in their own right, all of them..... God Bless you Taylor, an absolute legend, as a drummer, singer and family man. ❤😢😢💔
im 70 years old and still love rock, some people tell me im ridiculus i say this is great music
You are god damn right.
"Rock & Roll Never Forgets." - Bob Seager. You're not too old to rock out until you're dead and in the grave, and even then a little head-banging if AC/DC comes on is still allowed.

Kudos to your rock 'n roll soul, my friend. Don't listen to them and keep enjoying what this marvelous genre has to offer.
No disrespect to anyone but as a young man from Melbourne Australia that followed AC/DC from pub to pub in the late ‘70s, the Foo Fighters have come closest to the raw atavistic energy of a very beloved part of my youth !
Respect
I seen them live on the pontoon in Sydney Harbour under the Harbour Bridge before they left for England, never been SO pissed. Rock on
I also saw AC/DC a few times in the pubs of Melbourne back in the 70s, at the South Side Six, Waltzing Matilda and Matthew Flinders.
@@garystrahan4601 probably stood shoulder to shoulder and didn’t even know it!

Highlights the magic of ACDC where only Malcolm & Angus are on guitar but still pulled off a huge combined sound

Not the same energy at all but that's almost impossible. Much respect to these guys.

IMO this the Rock and Roll anthem!!! Let There Be Rock
ac/dc are a tribute act to Bon .
An awesome rock band covering an incredible rock band. Heaven.
One of the biggest bands in the world though. Grohl's band has done it all themselves with no real 'help' from an industry that just doesn't market rock bands, nor would he 'whore' himself out in that way. Grohl doesn't have to be a virtuoso guitarist, most rhythm players aren't. He gets on and writes excellent songs.
Says Garegh62 aka vanilla ass, who's only uploads are video golf games - yeah, you hardcore bro'.
Can't agree more. He pumps out the same bland formulaic shit. AC/DC were formulaic...but they had an incredible formula.
Rockpig1969 ac/dc made the same album 1000 times so what are you getting at?
What am I getting at? It's in plain English mate.
Dave is so versatile as a musician it's unreal. A fitting tribute to Bon Scott and that era of AC/DC!!

Taylor Hawkins attention to detail is insane, the off hits...Every single one hit with perfection. Truly is a master of drums.
It's a pretty basic groove for him here......It's whether you can be similar to the groove master Rudd and he can hold it!!

We all used to focus on Angus as kids, but it's really Malcom that's the one to listen to.
Finally!! Someone with real thoughts...i agree with u man
Yah he was the back bone
Like the carbon backbone of an organic molecule. The molecule is never complete without the carbon backbone
Little Richard said that a good song has to have a rhythym you can ride. You could ride Malcolm's rhythyms all night long. Angus was flash (with substance) but Malcolm was steady as a rock.

Wow...... big Dave had his no crap face on for that one. Very fine tribute from The Foos.
Imagine what us youngsters in 70's Australia felt when we heard songs like this coming out from high school auditoriums and local town halls!

Totally agree, impossible to replace the presence and voice of Bon Scott, otherwise this is pretty fucking good
It seems as if Dave is trying to get that scratchy mid throat sound that Bon had, all in all a very decent cover
Legends covering legends. You can feel the respect the Foos have for AC/DC. Glorious.
Wow! No one could ever get close to the power of the original version or do a better job than Bon, but you could see the band were serious about giving this a bloody good crack! Another fine example of just how good a drummer Taylor was. Now he's jamming with Bon on the other side.

Hallo SOS! Mother and Father of all creation are here in the physical in person on earth to show the way phone home today! It's been trillions of years journey for Mama Papa to reach all on earth to wake up to this truth!
The only thing better than this will be them covering more AC/DC songs
Łukasz Świdurski ac/dc covers foo fighters
Cole Scott that would never happen
Cole Scott That would be like if The Beatles covered The White Stripes
Łukasz Świdurski High Voltage would be awesome.
WOW! I love my AC/DC but damn this is incredible! Dave is killing it. Great job and I love seeing how much Taylor is just soaking it all in.! He looks so happy! Thank you for all the smiles you’ve given us over the years. What a loss and you will forever be missed ❤️
Respect to Foo Fighters….BRILLIANT!
You can tell these dudes really loved ACDC. There's been heaps of covers, but this is by far, the best cover of an ACDC song, ever. Dave almost sounds like Bon in some notes, and no one held back, they all smashed it out and man, I hope this makes an album because it's fucking wicked. Foo's are really close to the top of my favourite bands, probably second behind Motorhead, and because of Dave Grohl, I got into Motorhead so I respect the hell out of all those guys, and their ability. RIP Malcom, I hope you and Bon kicked back and heard this one.
C'mon. I like Dave, but nowhere near the best. Sounds nothing like Bon.
Lemmys cover of its a long way to the top is epic
Hahahah...Thanks for the laugh,man.
If I wanted to listen to a cover that sounded as close to the original as they could make it, but far worse, I'd just listen to the original. What's the point of listening to a cover that tries to make itself sound like the original?
They really respect real music .....
I never thought I would hear a band cover AC/DC and make it sound so good. How can Dave Grohl have vocal chords after singing like that? Wow.
I love the Foo Fighters.
David Subat tenacious D did it to
Probably the best cover of AC/DC I've listened to. RIP Taylor.
Shut up ffs
You can't have listened to much then I've seen plenty on here that are well ahead of these guys.
The way man Grohl looks at the boy… appreciation. Nuff said
When I was a kid I would fantasise about being in a rock band. The problem was I could never decide if I was the drummer or guitar player. I think Dave lives that every day.
be the singer
*wise yoda voice* : You can do both
One of the best covers I've seen, but it still blows me away that the ACDC version is still way heavier and more ballsy and it was recorded in the 70s.
Tracy Street Gibson SG and Angus and Malcom that's all lol
Yep!!!
Especially the Glassgow '78 and Donnington '91 versions!
hazardoustoxicity, Glasgow!!!
Tracy Street its a cover but its a foo fighters version
I am gonna miss such awesome drumming always. Love ... Taylor !!!!!
Best and accurate rendition of this song I’ve heard so far , so many just struggle to get the no frills nature of Malcolm’s style and try and to make it something it isn’t , Dave’s nailed it as has the band 🤘
Makes you realize how very physical this song is and how amazing it is that AC/DC still plays this with such intensity in concert!
OMG I wasn't expected that but never disapointed with the FF
Julie i wasn't expected that either
Fear Factory? FF
Mick Taylor foo fighters
Just foo fighters paying homage too a great rock and roll band and they did a great job 👏 respect to the foos 😊
Hallo SOS! Mother and Father of all creation are here in the physical in person on earth to show the way phone home today! It's been trillions of years journey for Mama Papa to reach all on earth to wake up to this truth!
They’re SO good they could play anyone!!!!
Probably the best cover of ACDC that I've heard. Love to hear FF's do Shake a Leg!
They played this live in Sydney a year or so ago. I don’t know why exactly, but the way they played it live was so phenomenal. It changed my whole perspective on the song and what AC/DC meant. This song live sounds so fucking awesome, thanks for that memory Foo Fighters
that must have been a treat i bet the crowd went bananas
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 Yeah it was unreal, the way the song just keeps building on momentum. So much fun to hear live.
Grohl really sells you on the event and spectacle of the concert too, one of those bands to see live just for the sake of it, even if you find the music dull. It’s worth it just to see them at least once. Unforgettable show.
@@holup2691 they were scheduled to play here in April last year, say no more, yes I had tix :( would have been my first show. My first AC/DC show was Back In Black :)
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 Ah, bad luck dude, world will open up soon and they should be first on your list when you can. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
Not a foo fighters fan but he totally nails the vocal style. Probably one of the best things I've heard them do
now go listen to bon sing it with ac/dc. this is TERRIBLE
Hallo SOS! Mother and Father of all creation are here in the physical in person on earth to show the way phone home today! It's been trillions of years journey for Mama Papa to reach all on earth to wake up to this truth!
It's a great cover, it has the energy and raw sound of early AC/DC!
very few would dare to cover this, fewer would pull it off, well done lads, your passed the audition
One of my favourites and I agree, done really well.
Would love to see it live. Would be so much better!
@@tanyaownsworth7303 can not wait for bands too play again, greetings from Ireland
The amount of talent he has to play guitar and sing is incredible
One of the best covers of this absolute classic
Hallo SOS! Mother and Father of all creation are here in the physical in person on earth to show the way phone home today! It's been trillions of years journey for Mama Papa to reach all on earth to wake up to this truth!
How can Dave stay so cool, just go freaking wild......🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
man!!!! how Phil Ruud looks so relaxed while playing this
Phil is a human metronome !!!!
The fact that even top professionals at the absolut best of their abilities can't make it sound even half decent, tells you how good AC/DC actually are.
Absolutely no disrespect to the Foo's here, just total admiration for AC/DC...
It's accurate, but lifeless. It sounds muddy and unfocused to me, the original is thrilling.
Well they dont have a Phil or Angus 💀😂
Other than that the vocals were great and bass too (bass is easy on this though)
But yeah I get what you mean. I love this band but it was okay only because the lead guitarist sucked and the drums (great drummer) just didnt fit the style of the song. Felt a bit bland but again, I loved the vocals.
Think it would have been better if Dave wasn't trying to sound like Bon Scott.
I haven't been able to listen to AC/DC since Bon left until years ago . I came to this song from the version with Bon in it. This is s not there ?? ? and I like the Foo Fighters, so I thought I would go to a version with Brian, Angus and Malcom are still awesome, it's just not the same :( th-cam.com/video/3f2g4RMfhS0/w-d-xo.html I am so old
It's a live lounge for fucks sake it ain't meant to sound like ac/dc..I thought it was different but very good anyway
They are impossibly talented. Blessed.
Think seeing Foo Fighters do a full AC/DC set list would be a hell of a show. About the only rock band going that play with as much enthusiasm.
4:16 HOLY SHIT. Dave and the boys never fail to impress.
Rocknlive all these live lounges don't sound like his best but he is the kind of guy that doesn't care if he is perfect. That's why they record albums without correcting every flaw. They are great live and I can tell his voice is not right,this day because i hear it on all the live lounge that day. But I love love love them and his voice. I think it's a really great performance
dave and the boys? so the foo fighters?
There is nothing impressive
Humza Ahmed ob
Lol all these guys saying that it wasn't impressive. I'd like to see you try that lmao
Best ACDC cover. Y'all killed it and still no matter how good I find that nobody captures that bass and guitar tone the way the boys do...that's what I find so remarkable about ACDC..how "simple" it is to play yet how impossible it is to recreate the tone and balls
Thing I love about Hawkins was that his 90% sounded like anyone else's 100%. He still had the energy to put in some little subtle licks that you just can't do when going all out. Such a great musician.
All time Ac/dc fan here. Incredible performance by Hawkins. Very close to the spirit of Rudd, but with his touch, an amazing groove and feeling of his own, but true to the original. Bless you.
Never been much of a Foo fan but if their tunes rocked THIS hard it’d sure change my mind; awesome cover!!!
Some of them do. Especially the early stuff.
Listen to their greatest hits that might change your mind the foos can rock hard
This is on the edge of perfect for me. Die hard Foos and Dave fan....one of my favourite Bon Scott songs.
I love how you can see the concentration and effort to give it their best.
I want to see this live!!
Please do this live at your Aus concerts.
We will bloody love it ❤
Man- that kicked some serious ass. Foo Fighters killing it. Couldn't happen to nicer guys!
At the age of 19 years old I saw AC/DC at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park for the 1st time live! OUTSTANDING! This is a great cover of a classic! Still love hearing Bon Scott singing this track! 🤘😜🤘 #acdcfanforlife
Bon Scott smiles in this song and sings like an angel.
yet angus cringes at how you cant hear his guitar solo
wow he NAILED the vocals as well as everything else!!!! brilliant!!!
The only time I’ve heard a cover that actually does AccaDacca justice
Well done
Rip mal and Taylor Great rock n roll men
Bon and George too.
The Foo's are awesome. One of my faves 💡🥁🎯♥so good ❤
one of the greatest mysteries of the universe is how AC/DC can write quite the most simple riffs and make them sound sublime - its been bugging me for 40 years how the hell they do that
And the lyrics. Simple but still clever and always on point.
Angus sneaks off to his bedroom with a pack of smokes, a vanilla milkshake, a Gibson SG and produces scary rock 'n' roll. Simple as that.
Think its the deception that it sounds simple, try playing em and you find it's not that straight forward. Angus and Malcolm have loads of little subtle extras that you don't know are there until you try and reproduce em.....have a go at riff raff....absolute bugger to play.
They might sound simple but try playing them right
@@moztheroz Malcolm, Cliff, Angus and Phil together have got an incredible thing.
Wow that was awesome. Well done Foo Fighters. Loved the drummers energy, he was working it.
Its only Rock and Grohl, but I LOVE it! Rest in peace Taylor
Yup I’m a 70s kid and loved AC/DC. This was damn good.
YES, this is fucking awesome! Long Live Foo Fighters.
I saw ACDC in Albury...before they went to England..I was young..my dad took me to the show..he stood at the background..I ran to the stage..SING AND DANCE..
I have been a fan of ACDC since I could crawl(1980) and Dave groll with the foo fighters that was spot on... Love it and nice one guys for doing an exceptional rendition of one of my all time favourites...perfect guys👍
Have a listen to Henry Rollins with the Hard Ons.
Not only do I love their Foo music, they are proving to be one of the best cover bands on earth!!
I think when it comes to covers mr bungle beats em all. No matter what song or genre they cover they do it perfe tly everytime from songs like "what the world needs now" "everybody is working for the weekend" "mister rogers theme" "24000 baci"(italian pop), "welcome back" "hit me baby one more time" "we are the champions" ect
Best cover of an AC/DC song by anyone👍🤘🏻
Doc Darkness amen to that. Amazing contact through the instruments and the eye..Key to a great band and a great cover. One of my all time favourites for sure. Can't believe the haters on TH-cam I want thier drugs lol IDIOTS. 🙏⚡🤘🏻
Doc Darkness Brian Setzer did a pretty interesting version of this song live. This is definitely more to the original, but the Setzer one is cool too.
You haven't heard AC/DC covers then :P
You need to hear Ugly Kid Joe doing "ride on" then...
I AGREE👌🤘🤘🤘🤘
So long Taylor, your charisma and energy on the drums were awesome!! RIP
There are few consistencies in this world, Taylor’s drum face is more reliable than my watch. Love them!
Energy, power, purpose: the epitome of AC/DC.
Excellent cover!!!!! Dave is a monster in every situation. He is giving every now and then so strong contribute to the good rock music!!!
That's the way to do a cover.....if you can't do it as well, or even add to it, then simply don't bother, but the Foo's do all of that and more - they add love and appreciation and understanding of a truly great band - AD/DC. Awesome musicians in their own right, all of them..... God Bless you Taylor, an absolute legend, as a drummer, singer and family man. ❤😢😢💔
I literally have chills going down my spine! I can't say it's better than the original...but DAMN!! That's amazing!!
Love this...April 11th 2020, Let there be ROCK!!!!
Check their cover out

The drummer just shows ACDC is full on and not the easiest to play
Yes pure druming on this track sorry it sticks
I've sang and played a lot of AC/DC Covers, this is one of the hardest ones to get right.
@@LOFIGSD off-beat excercise No.1 hahahaha
Yep, and still if Phil Rudd's playing this he will make it look like just another day in the office with a cigarette in his mouth ;)
@@Hutschnur for Phil it is another day at the office
the greatest band on earth cover a song by the greatest band on earth.....
One of the best tributes/covers to AC/DC. Long live rock'n'roll and electric guitar. ;) :)
