Got fired from a job a few years ago. Gave the place my life and they sucked my soul away. I think I listened to this song almost on repeat for at least a year. Weirdly it kept me going. Never make somebody else a ton of money. They get greedy and forget those who helped get them there. Fuck them and fuck that place.
I'm not surprised to hear he was considering doing that. Apart from a few good songs, they haven't done a good album since TC&TS. Hollywood does remakes/reboots...bands are now doing the same.
agreed dude! Foo's 1st album was awesome..thick grunge sound. i love the 1st album the most. Wattershed, This Is A Call, I'll Stick Around, Exhausted, Oh George and so many more.. gosh i love Foo Fighters after Nirvana.. i do few guitar cover of Foo's and Nirvana too
@@scarfbark Use it well. I remember rocking this album via cassette player in 1995 playing Doom on an old school PC for hours on end. I hope you carry this song and album as I have.
Big nostalgia vibes for me to as a 16 year old. i loved nirvana but was a little young to fully get it til later. first Foo Fighters album was important
Man I was thinking the same thing. It almost opens up a gate to another dimension of the universe. I'm feeling something very weird and I can't explain it. Thank you Dave.
@@petemitchell9996 I got chills reading what you wrote. You're 100 percent right. Obviosely it's an old pic. It's as if they were seeing their futures.
Felt the same, there is an energy. Knowing that Kurt heard and liked this demo is also awesome to know... He was looking into a future he could not go forth into, and didn't even know it.
The demo sounds more tired as in an "exhausted and doesn't have any energy" sense but the studio version has more of an angry "I'm exhausted and I can't take it anymore" feel
Dave was just starting to spread his wings here. Pat Smear said that the first time he saw Dave pickup a guitar, he didn’t know he could play. He watched in amazement and after grohl set the guitar down and left the room, Smear turned to Cobain and said, “ wow, he is better than the both of us “.
Technically, you can be a better guitarist, but it doesn't mean his song writing abilities are better. Dave has more technical ability, but Kurt is a better musician. @@RiversMorgan94
That is actually a bad ass tune. Heavier than foo and still foo ish. Mixed with the Nirvana sound and power. Best song of Dave’s I ever heard. Miss you Nirvana and Kurt.
Dave Grohl is a tremendously talented musician and songwriter who decided to forgo any solo success because he loved Kurt and wanted to play drums in his band. He deserves all the success he has had. And yes the first FF akbum is clearly the best
Exhausted pretty much described my 13 yr old self who experienced clinical depression. My favourite line is "What if the day had stayed in bed?" it resonates with me because i couldn't face what everyday life was throwing at me like being bullied at school, always breaking down, back and forth to hospitals etc. I still experience depression occasionally due to losing lots.of family members, a childhood friend and my beloved pets but I'm still fighting it
Sounds very familiar. I sleep more than I'm awake.Awful childhood, worse teen years, failed relationships, kids that hate me, 45 years of regrets.Now I'm just letting life pass me by so I can move onto the next realm. Stay Strong Michael. There's gotta be relief for us some day.
@@johnbauer9628 Unfortunately i ended up in hospital last week. I was slowly dying like Dave's amp overtime like the amp i blew up in the end. What i experienced was just more than depression it was pure mania as i was doing things and acting strangely which wasn't me at all. It really upsets me because i just didn't see it. I was merely surviving and not living. I'm now getting the help i was denied after a doctor said i have an underlying condition and waiting for a formal diagnosis. Maybe after 20+ yrs of torment i can finally start living again at the age of 35. You stay strong as well John. Hopefully we will both be at peace with ourselves whether it's on the planet or in the afterlife.
This is so good! I love it! Those scratchy, filthy guitars chugging , panned hard right…the pretty and clean part comes in and panned hard left. Makes for a great headphone listen! This kind of mix is never heard in today’s rock. Excellent to hear Dave take those chances. His demos always sound nice and polished. Thanks for the upload!
I mix all of music with the guitars panned like that. You just have to search out people making this type of music in modern times, and you will find it.

When I first listened to Exhausted from Foo Fighters album was amazing, with headphones in a bus coming home from school in a rainy day. Oh man, I miss it so much.
It's such a love and sad feeling, knowing that Kris is playing through this version, and what could have been if everything had continued.. look at this three guys man, it' bring me tears and force.
We all know the feeling . I was a teenager in the 90’s so I remember the grunge era well . But there was so much music before that I did miss out on . The early punk / hardcore days and so much great music from the 60’s and 70’s .
I was a teenager when they blew up. They truly changed everything. Killed hair metal and good music without all the pretense became the “thing” for a little bit. It was great. They were life changing.
this is one of those songs that’s so hauntingly beautiful + depressing i actually had to stay away from listening to it so much because it would just make me cry. i felt the lyrics as a depressed teen of course and also just the riffs in this song just.. hurt so good. glad kurt got to hear this one this was was truly beautiful and i’m glad we got to experience this song too. thank you grohl for this masterpiece and thank you for uploading this beauty to the internet
I'm not around that much Running exhausted and lost If it could be undone Will it have costed? It's taught and lost Blowing away we stray, wilted Insuited, at fault What if the day had stayed in bed These baubles we've brought At fault After the bliss has long ended This caution this fault Give me a breeze that's long winded Accosted adult arrested
this is really bloody amazing... whenever its just dave grohl who performs on a song all the instruments are in harmony with each other... you can indivually hear all the three instruments and their all on the same level and arn't battling with each other. you pick out each instrument and listen to it. it really sounds good with the drums and the bass which is usally quiet far back in a song really stands out
Gimpy Christopher My favorite song too,it's a mixture of grunge,hard rock and alternative rock,a masterpiece,Kurt loved this song and he wanted Exhausted to appear on Nirvana's fourth album
Man... this has ALWAYS been one of my favorite Dave songs, and 27(!!) years after hearing the original, I hear the demo for the first time! As good as this is, nothing will touch the I'mokayEurok version...
I am personally so grateful that David kept things going.. with that Nirvana core that seemed all but lost. Of course it has evolved into something else over the years, but in 1995.. it was all that I could ask for🙏
Dave's best attempt at a NIRVANA song. I was a huge Foos fan for the first albums, but recently, I've been on a NIRVANA kick again and nothing will ever compare to even Kurt's worst songs.
Grohl's best song. I wish he would have branched out in a different direction from here but he had other plans to write the best, the best, the best, the best dad rock anthems of the 2000s and beyond
I mean this is easily hands down one of my favorite dark heavy and sad shoe gaze style songs and I mean it's just absolutely fucking perfect! Dave is such an extremely fucking talented individual and this song makes me super emotional because I couldn't even imagine a friend like Kurt and it just moves me to know that he pushed on even though he lost his best friend and he did a wonderful fucking job!
Yeah, the legend says that Dave (Guitar, Vocals, Drums) and Krist (Bass) recorded it together, after Kurt missed a whole day of a recording session. Later, Dave gave Kurt the tape with a demo of 'Alone + Easy Target' and this version of 'Exhausted' on it. He liestend to it in his bathtub. He was pretty amazed.
***** That's kind of sad because at that time both Krist and Dave wouldn't know that those were going to be the songs for the new first Dave band's album. I mean they made that as Nirvana and everything was sadly yet to come... We'd better don't think about that...
In the 90s Eddie Vedder had a radio special one night. He played a few solo Dave songs (post Nirvana, pre Foos). They sounded like this. I recorded them off the radio onto a cassette tape. It was so good. When Foos came out I didn’t like them, because I wanted it to sound like this.
The whole first foo album is just awesome. It helped me get out of my post Kurt funk. It’s hard to explain what that really means to anyone who didn’t experience it.
I remember hearing this for the 1st time during the Self Pollution radio broadcast Jan 1995 before Foo Fighters existed. Who would've known Dave was working on something that would eventually give us almost 30 years of Foo Fighters!
@@jasonjaxxson Foo Fighters have nothing to do with Nirvana though. They never recorded at the same time. This was Dave’s side project. Kurt loved Dave’s writing and often encouraged him. I don’t know where this presumption that Kurt was always late to the studio came from.
Just found this gem after learning about the history of how Dave produced the first Foos album, I was surprised to learn that all the songs from there were written in the early 90s and Kurt heard a few of the recordings. The audio quality doesn't do this demo justice!
This is one of the best songs he ever wrote. But my God does it have a depressing vibe to it.

@@Fire_Marshall_Bill facts
Agreed about one of his best .Curt wanted to use it but change the lyrics.
It's reality music
yeah, but that makes it even better. Art is always made better if emotion is put into it.
This song is the unintended good bye to the grunge era. Sounds even better as demo.
'92. Height of their fame.
@@anthonyfuqua6988yeah but actually released as foo fighters in 95 after Kurt’s death, so it works as the goodbye to grunge

I love what Taylor said when Dave wanted to redo self-titled with better production, “I’m not gonna piss on that Picasso!”
Love the rough production on the first album. Really brings out the emotion
I'm not surprised to hear he was considering doing that. Apart from a few good songs, they haven't done a good album since TC&TS. Hollywood does remakes/reboots...bands are now doing the same.

love how crunchy the guitar is and Krist's bas just rides better than the album version
I wish the demos were cleaned up and stuck on the Foo's debut album instead of the re recorded versions as theyre much more powerful. Very Grungy.
It's too pop. Commercial. Nirvana was headed the opposite direction after Nevermind. This could have been a good fit on Nevermind.

@@jasonjaxxson Foo Fighters have nothing to do with Nirvana though. They never recorded at the same time. This was Dave’s side project. Kurt loved Dave’s writing and often encouraged him. I don’t know where this presumption that Kurt was always late to the studio came from.
love this. ❤
Love this
Just found this gem after learning about the history of how Dave produced the first Foos album, I was surprised to learn that all the songs from there were written in the early 90s and Kurt heard a few of the recordings. The audio quality doesn't do this demo justice!
When I first heard this when foo fighters came out I used to play along to it in the dark
