He really is a class act. You 100% can't deny that it was a shitty thing to replace his drummer with.. himself. Whatever his reason was, and even if it's true that they were going to re-record it all, it was shitty in that moment to not include him. You can absolutely tell that it still bothers him how that shook out, but he's right.. If he hadn't done that, they wouldn't be the band they are today. The end quote perfectly sums it up. He's remorseful for what happened, but he's happy for so many other reasons. He doesn't regret shit.
My favorite album by the Foo Fighters. It’s such a fantastic record with an interesting backstory to it. It’s also release date neighbors with OK Computer being released one day earlier. Both are two of the greatest albums I’ve heard.
@@cholst1 Motorpsycho-feel 🤢 what a horribly underproduced song. You're off your rocker to compare the two and think they are even remotely similar. Horrible taste
The Colour and the Shape is honestly my favorite rock album ever, and the story behind it makes me apricate it even more. ALSO, how the heck is this guy under 100k at this point?!? Your Nirvana and Weezer videos were fricking great, keep up the awesome work man! :)
I'm not going to split hairs with you there... personally I think Wasted Light is their very best. It's just cool to argue which is better... they are both really fucking great albums.
@@jamesbarrick3403I don’t want to argue but this guy did not say it was their best, he said it was his favorite. I do agree that I think wasting light has a certain quality to it, but I love Colour and The Shape too.
@crazycatman5928 you're right. For me this song is an anthem and many celebrities prefer it as well. It is David Letterman's favorite song, to the point where Foo Fighters rescheduled their tour to play the showman's first show on his return to TV after heart surgery; He introduced them as "my favorite band, playing my favorite song." It was also the last song played on Letterman's last show before retiring. I love this song 🎵
I can see a producer like Gil Norton being an absolute NIGHTMARE for William Goldsmith to work with. If you’re a self-taught drummer like William was (and not someone playing to click tracks just comes naturally to, like it did to Dave Grohl), it would be really, really difficult to do a take he’d like. That said, I would really love to hear William’s “final” studio takes for songs like Monkey Wrench and My Hero. Unfortunately most have been lost to the sands of time - all that remains are really rough cut demos, which are not remotely demonstrative of what level he was eventually pushed to in the studio. What a bummer.
Well, Gil was a nightmare for everyone in the band. Even Dave was being made to do songs over and over again for hours and hours on drums in Los Angeles. It’s just that William was the only one who was in danger of having his tracks replaced and his role stolen. But knowing that Dave was there, yeah, maybe Gil would have always seen Dave as the right man for the job. I think the lost Goldsmith final drum tracks are probably out there and maybe somebody will take them into the light someday.
Gil is amazing though. Probably my favorite “alternative rock” producer along with Butch Vig. Also the dude from Mercury Rev is an amazing producer, but he came a little later.
Awesome video dude. I have so much respect for dave. Never would've guessed that album title was a "meaningless" quote, it just comes off deeper than that lol
Marc I hate that I'm 2 days late to this video because the youtube algorithm has failed me once again, but I'd just like to say awesome video as always!!! I look forward to every new upload from you and they never disappoint. Vote 4 Grohl!!
i love the turning a sphere inside out video being used as background. i was wondering why but i just realized the album cover is a bunch of spheres so it makes perfect sense
Grohl embodies the truth that everything works out in the end for the best. It's extremely hard, to damn near impossible to believe, but if we don't believe that, there is literally no reason to keep waking up and doing things. I'd rather keep waking up and doing things because sometimes you do really cool and amazing things. An extreme over-simplification, but what if Grohl gave in to every set back? We'd have no Everlong, My Hero, and a million other amazing songs. He isn't purely an optimist, but his story is one of perseverance because giving up is so much fucking worse. God bless Dave Grohl.
Colour and Shape is in my top probably 5, maybe 3, albums of all time. I love it so much, every song. And "Everlong" might be my favorite song of all time. I remember watching their performance on top of (I think) Radio City Music Hall back in 97, and Pat announcing he was leaving afterwards. Man their videos played on MTV fricking constantly in 97.
@@alexzemaitis1207they didn’t say anything about the music being bad cause Dave cheated on his wife they’re just making a joke about how he cheated on his wife 😭😭
Marc pleaaase do a video on There Is Nothing Left to Lose! It’s such an important part of Dave’s story of moving on from the darkness and finally forming the band he can rely on.
I remember watching this doco like 12 years ago where Dave was so emotional about how that all played out. He was immensely ashamed. Like he said there was nothing wrong with the drumming, he was just a perfectionist.
@@Timbiscuit12 did I quote him? Specifically? It was 12 years ago on a music channel. And yes that was what I took from the story I watched. If you watched the same one than I imagine that would be everybody else's view on it. Correct me if I'm wrong if my view was horribly different to how he felt!!!!
No, I don't think you're wrong. I've just never heard him specifically say that before and it's interesting. The few times I've read or heard him talking about this, I never heard him say that there was nothing really wrong with the drumming, so it's a different take from him. Thanks for sharing that! @@ALLOFTHEBOOST
@@Timbiscuit12 I'd say ashamed not humiliated. But like I said that's my interpretation of what happened. Because I watched it so many times while at work in camp and was just very humbling to see him open up like that. It's the end part where he say "what the fk" which really does sum up how he felt.
Me and my bro loved "there goes my hero" ironically my brother died in a house fire. That song wouldn't stop playing in my head at his funeral, and means alot to me.
I love this video dude! I love the insane amount of detail that goes into videos like this. I have a request if it’s okay, I think it suits this channel really well. I was wondering if you could dive into the music that came after Nirvana (a.k.a Post Grunge) there’s so many good bands from the 2000s, like Nickelback, Creed, and Three Days Grace that take a lot of inspiration from those grunge bands of the 90s. I’d love to hear about something like that.
I met William and had a chat with him outside sdre’s tour bus in 98. I was 18-19 and was drumming for a band that took a lot of inspiration from jawbox, sdre, braid, etc… we(my band)drove 3 hours in the guitar players moms conversion van we used for out of town stuff. We were close. I was unceremoniously let go and replaced. That bands first record, all the songs I wrote with these guys, my drum parts are played with this new drummer. It’s hard to listen to for me, some bastardized version of the songs I helped write. I’m playing a show with my new band a few years later and the bass player(whom I had been friends with since middle school) of the old band gave me the raw recording of their new record. It was great. On the first album the new drummer was constrained and the second was part of the songwriting and honestly fit much better. So, I’m playing in this band and we have a set list that we run through to start a practice. Then we take 30 to be friends or discuss new song ideas or socialize with the other bands in our practice space, there were 6 practice spaces and two of them eventually got taken over by a startup recording studio which we everyone else in the space recorded with even though they charged them and said would do it for free for us…. In hindsight we should have done it, but I digress. Anyway, I’m in this band started by me and the guitarist and we have strong jazz roots but his favorite guitar player is from Nile and my favorite drummer is from smashing pumpkins…how do you make this work… well it’s easy… you bring in the drummers best friend, his brother, and also a Metallica sycophant. It really boggles my mind that band, not my most successful but the best musically imo, came from a band I was in, in high school, with me playing drums, my brother playing bass, and our rhythm guitarist finding the confidence to play the music he wanted to play… this is super complicated. We’re playing one persons music, there’s 4 people in the band. We all want different things, me personally, I just want to play music I like(quicksand hum helmet) and I’ve never played drums in a band like that so I just start writing songs like that and my brother, an accomplished guitarist, joins me in hashing out some ideas. Then our guitar player joins on bass.. drummer writes guitar, bass player embellishes on guitar, guitar player(who started as bass player) comes into fill out the soundscape. Simple songs that harken back to my roots. We got a drummer from another band that just happened to be the technically proficient we’d ever known, 20 years later now and still. I, being a drummer playing music I wanted to play drums to, had to write out the drums for the drummer to fit my songs the way I wanted. When I recorded my album for that band, I played guitar and drums. Point being I understand Williams frustration but I also understand Dave’s. Sometimes things are right and everyone gels and sometimes it doesn’t and you have to cut what doesn’t…
Great video Marcbutevil In all bands there is a song that stands out from the rest of their compositions. To be honest, it's not because they are exactly the 'best' songs. I think it is a subjective and debatable matter, but these songs have something; which makes them the band's hallmark. In the case of Foo Fighters, I could safely say that “Everlong” includes those characteristics.
weird how "we chose this for a stupid reason" ends up working so many times. The color and shape can work great for thinking about concepts and emotions and things like that, and not in any stretch of a way either. "The color and shape of our relationship" is what I thought it always meant, as that works, imo, best for the album and its strongest songs. But hey, Radiohead accidently made a concept album (Ok Comp), so a deep album title can also be an accident.
The day will come in which Grohl is regraded with the best... Lennon, McCartney, Elvis, Freddy, Bowie - etc. It's not happening in this generation of boomers listening to rock, because they are always looking back in the mirror. It will happen with the next generation... which is fine by me... that is exactly how that list of legends were coronated. So I say be wise, and go see Dave perform live. It may not change your life, but I guarantee you will remember that show.
This was good. But I’m surprised there was no mention of Louise Post or Nate basically quitting to go back to Sunny Day Real Estate during TCATS. Granted this video essay would have then probably dwarfed to a mini documentary. But still, those are two fairly big things to omit (especially if the idea of the essay was to explain how difficult things were during TCATS recording/era)
@bluetrane478 You mentioned a good point. Also, I have a question about the girl who inspired Everlong. Is it true that the girl Dave has never talked about is Louise Post from the band Veruca Salt? I asked before but apparently it's just a rumor.
Not a rumor. She’s actually also on the song, buried deep in the mix. Supposedly part of the reason Dave got divorced was because Dave cheated on Jessica Youngblood with Louise Supposedly Louise was also going to be in the everlong video but she got cold feet
Also to note Nate Mendel almost quit the band just after Pat Smear announced his departure. In part; Nate felt bad about William getting fired and wanted to reform Sunny Day Real Estate. Nate even told Dave he was going to quit. Luckily, Nate slept on the idea and decided to ultimately stay with the band. (This story is mentioned in the Back and Fourth doc on the Foo’s.)
Subscribed! Love your videos! No comment on Louise Post (Veruca Salt) romance and her background vocals on Everlong? I have heard the song is about her. Am I crazy?
I always wandered what Frank and Kim's deal was. The dissonance between Francis' vocals and Deal's greogorian chant bass beat was harmonic duality at its finest. I used to think Frank the Black Catholic was the music theorists who understood Riemann and Pythagoras mathematics were musical in nature, too!
Gote for Vrohl. Was never a big fan of the Foo Fighters, just not my cup of auditory tea. I have nothing but the utmost respect for and admiration for Dave Grohl though. That man is a walking, talking, singing, drumming, rocking testament to the power of the human spirit. I hear he is super nice too.
In Nirvana it was apparent that Dave was, indeed, "da man" behind the kit. Top ten if not in medal position. If Phil Collins or Don Henley would have made it "awesome", he woulda sang lead from back there. It just isn't feasible to exteact the amount of coolness a lead singer needs to have.
my favorite foo album is their first one. i believe its self titled. the one with the pistol on the album cover. the colour and the shape is probably second though.
i remember hearing everlong when i was young and thinking that song is good but it never stuck with me. Then about 8 years ago i heard it and it was like hearing it for the first time again and i loved that song and still do
Gonna be honest: I don’t care if he cheated on his wife. Hes a flawed person like every other musician. He didn’t kill anyone, rape anyone, and isn’t a pedo sooo Ykw I still support him
Monkey wrench when he started screaming I kept talking about that song .so my boss at the time showed up to work with that CD ,the color and the shape.still have it. Thank you Dave an th the band
My brother gifted me the first Foo Fighters album for Christmas ‘95, and I liked it more than I liked Nirvana to be honest. The second-album was even better, and both records are still stand-by listens for me.

You know its a good video when outside in is in the background lmao
finally a channel with concise and interesting essays
it's stories like these that make me not shoot myself
sped up "outside in" backround footage really awesome
You're one of few great content creators I watch.
I LOVE FOO FIGHTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It would be awesome if you did there is nothing left to lose next!!
I always wandered what Frank and Kim's deal was. The dissonance between Francis' vocals and Deal's greogorian chant bass beat was harmonic duality at its finest. I used to think Frank the Black Catholic was the music theorists who understood Riemann and Pythagoras mathematics were musical in nature, too!
This video has been staring me down all day
Imo “Hey, Johnny Park” should’ve been a big hit single.
“William drumming”
Gill : “Not quite my tempo”
Love the vid but disappointed that Louise Post of Veruca Salt didn't get a mention here
Gote for Vrohl.
Was never a big fan of the Foo Fighters, just not my cup of auditory tea. I have nothing but the utmost respect for and admiration for Dave Grohl though. That man is a walking, talking, singing, drumming, rocking testament to the power of the human spirit.
I hear he is super nice too.
In Nirvana it was apparent that Dave was, indeed, "da man" behind the kit. Top ten if not in medal position. If Phil Collins or Don Henley would have made it "awesome", he woulda sang lead from back there. It just isn't feasible to exteact the amount of coolness a lead singer needs to have.
If Phil played on a Nirvana concert it would have been interesting to watch.
my favorite foo album is their first one. i believe its self titled. the one with the pistol on the album cover. the colour and the shape is probably second though.
i think a video on but here we are would be amazing when more info comes out
Your sense of humour is just amazing, I laughed out loud
I’ve waited here for you
Edward Furlong
YEAH HES DOING THE FOO FIGHTERS DISCOGRAPHY TOO
Can't believe three of my favorite artists Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Alanis Morissette have something in common
I loved the first British voice attempt 😂 AWESOME VIDEOS MAN❤ VOTE FOR GROHL 2024🤘❤
“So one day he walked into the dressing room with a bowling pin” I said “what the fuck are you doing why would you buy a bowling pin?” Lmfao
Walking after you is my favorite foo fighters song.
i remember hearing everlong when i was young and thinking that song is good but it never stuck with me. Then about 8 years ago i heard it and it was like hearing it for the first time again and i loved that song and still do
The best Foo Fighters album easily IMO
First album is the best
Gonna be honest: I don’t care if he cheated on his wife. Hes a flawed person like every other musician. He didn’t kill anyone, rape anyone, and isn’t a pedo sooo Ykw I still support him
At the end of the day, it’s all about the music
Facts
Monkey wrench when he started screaming I kept talking about that song .so my boss at the time showed up to work with that CD ,the color and the shape.still have it. Thank you Dave an th the band
hey! very enjoyable video. do you know what performance it is at 11:29? thanks!
Walking After You is my favorite FF song, especially the X-Files mix. Love it!
Gotta love the @AaronPaulsen feature in the video 😂
the colour and the shape is pretty cool.. but can you talk about pinkerton 200 more times
RIP Taylor
Gotta love the brief Aaron Paulsen cameo at 10:57
WHAT??? I DIDNT KNOW GOLDSMITH FROM SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE WAS IN FOO FIGHTERS
My brother gifted me the first Foo Fighters album for Christmas ‘95, and I liked it more than I liked Nirvana to be honest.
The second-album was even better, and both records are still stand-by listens for me.
Dave Grohl for President. 27 years and still holding the torch for rock and roll. Can’t wait to see them live next week.
12:49 wind up snapping in the end, clever
Love the video. Great info. The story of the list he had made while sleeping in a sleeping bag. Yea that’s deep in the downs.
Amazing stuff. Just subscribed!
Aaron Paulsen clip appreciation post
The Aaron Paulsen cameo was amazing
Dave’s the nice guy of rock and roll that’s why he has the best heart break lyrics.
He’s portrayed as a nice guy, he’s actually not
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xd proof?
@@Okayzy he killed his drummer, what other proof do I need lol
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xdhe didn’t kill him. You’re joking?

HOME-Decay
I read The Storyteller, and honestly it’s one of my favorite books, very entertaining. I definitely recommend it
