Bryce Raja I love that he starts out playing his own rhythm part that he usually does on the electric but then slowly figures out, WHILE performing, what sounds better and transitions in to it. True musician!
You can tell that Grohl really enjoys his music. Some performers seem almost disinterested in their own songs when they sing them live... Grohl is up there jammin out like a young kid who just learned how to play his favorite song xD
The dude gets a broken leg and returns back to the stage as paramedics make a cast while he performs. Breaks up a fight during skin and bones and his reply is he does it for the fans it’s what keeps him going. He is a rare breed.
Dave is the type of guy who would walk up to a backyard campfire and see an acoustic guitar sitting there and ask if he could play song or two... and this is what you’d get! Love his acoustic versions...
And, while rare, anyone who picks up my guitar and plays it...AND sings...absolutely love it and lets just say they are welcome back anytime. This performance is amazing and sitting here dumfounded, God with me, I needed to hear it today. 'Under Pressure" by Queen , an all time favorite. And, unquestionably, that one is one TH blew out of the park on in his final days. Thinking of your whole fam. Grateful-Thank you-Peace to you.
@@kgflip7083 Trent Reznor was the sole member of NIne Inch Nails till 2016... He was doing everything you said plus some since Dave was in Nirvana. Both are phenomenal.
Love hearing Dave mess up the lyrics a little bit and then seeing him smile, knowing he messed them up. That's why Rock is the best. It's real. I love seeing these guys have little slip ups. It shows that they are human.
He also just decides f*ck it! Let’s give it a go. Because if you don’t try weird new shit how can you grow or inspire as an artist. And ultimately what more can you want after you’ve achieved fame and fortune. Professionally anyways

I know it's strange to say this, but imagine how much of the amazing that is Dave Grohl might never have happened if Nirvana still existed. The man is incredibly talented.
He would have eventually broken free and found his path. He was very young in Nirvana. When you are that creative, it's in you. He wouldn't have been able to stay contained as a drummer playing someone else's songs. He would have found his own thing.
@@vzeller He did do some of the writing with Nirvana, I remember an interview where Kurt said he liked it because he didn't have to do all the writing anymore.
@@wiredforstereo Exactly. He was on his way. I've played with some heavy hitters, some people you would know, and everyone you see in the background during a rock show or any show has their own thing going. Yes, there are some that are ok just being a backup player, but many have their own visions. It's the difference between being an employee and being a business owner. You can work for someone else's dream or you can realize your own dreams. Of course not everyone has what it takes or has the charm to be liked, but that doesn't mean most aren't trying. Not everyone can be in the spotlight. If everyone realized their dreams, there would be no spectators buying the tickets.
it was gonna happen anyway he was doing songs with kurt that was on the 1st foo fighters album and he did the scentless apprentice riff plus he did late pocketwatch nirvana would of ended in 94/95 cause of kurts drug problem i could see them doing reunions though and a few albums

Not many musicians who pick up a different instrument and form a band after the old one ends and still have major success deserves credit where credit is do. Amiright?
Robin Van Elsen that's true. There is a video interview with Kurt where Dave is shredding in the background. Kurt says Dave is the best guitarist in Nirvana.
True story: my friend went to a Foo Figjter concert and then went to a bar accross the street that an open mic night. My friend started playing a FF song on an acoustic guitar and Dave Grohl walks in and asked to join my friend on the microphone! What a fucking legend. A true rock star and super down to earth!
This was the soundtrack to my recovery and when I'm struggling to just get through the day I still like to listen to the Foo Fighters and say thanks for the shove guys.
You know you're watching a real artist when he performs his songs without the distortion, without the drums, without the base and still rocks the livin' sh*t out of 'em! 🤘

I have a tendency to watch this over and over. it's amazing. @davegrohl is not just great drummer, but great songwriter, vocalist, and makes up guitar chords I can't even wrap my head around. (and of course, has a bad ass style). @davegrohl is the musician of the century.

It is truly amazing and also a shame that he is one of the last ones left from the 90's still kicking ass and taking names in the music world. I pray that he and some others that are still around get the appreciation that they deserve and that he never gets tired of giving us such amazing and inspiring works. Don't leave us alone with miley cyrus daaaave!!! lol We need ya man. 🎵🎸🎵🎸🎵🎸🎵
David Fucking Ghrol is such an iconic rock star and will be remembered forever for the many awesome hit songs he's shared with us. I love you Dave. I hope I get to jam a song or two with you someday, somehow, before my time here is up. Regardless, thanks a million times over for all of the great music, being such an awesome idol of mine, and for constantly motivating me to keep playing and singing. Most of all, thank you for making the decision to keep moving forward after we lost Kurt......I know it was tough, but can only imagine. Your strength inspires so many.
I am such a big fan of this guy. Since I was 13. We are talking since 92-93. I didn’t think foo fighters would make it and I have never been more happy to be wrong
Such a great guy. He got so animated screaming during the bridge section and then you could hear how strained his voice was but he pulled through. My dude!

Dave has the rare gift of being able to truly connect with the crowd. Not sure if it’s charisma or if his love for the music bleeds out, but I always walk away from FF concerts feeling like he knew exactly what the fans wanted to hear and that he enjoyed the show as much as everyone else. Rock legend.
This man is a master, an expressionist, this was like watching Starry Night getting painted. Never to be repeated, one of a kind. The skill, the emotion, the heart, the soul. One of the greatest works of art of all time.
Absolutely amazing! The chorus is pretender sounded a little weird/different but I take it that has to do with it being an acoustic version. It is amazing that he can tune and play a guitar with a few seconds of thinking over the song.
Best performance by any musician in front one of the smallest crowd. Both the songs are awsome but walk helps me to keep me alive a moment at a time. The anger in Grohl's voice and the sadness of the chord D and Dmin...Epic!
This man invented the Foo Fighters in his basement. The 1st album he did every Instrument track and vocals. And when the album got picked up he was afraid to tell the record company it was just him there was no other band members... My favorite musician of all time
DG is seriously amazing. random guy shouts Pretender. ok welp might sound weird just busts it out. just incredible. I truly believe he cares about his fans on a totally different level.
I just can't stop listening to this. Every weekend, a barbecue, some beers and friends, this video is the first one on the playlist. Long live Dave Grohl!!!
Typical Dave. Says he doesn't know if pretender will sound any good acoustic, proceeds to rock the shit out of it. Badass as always.
Bryce Raja I love that he starts out playing his own rhythm part that he usually does on the electric but then slowly figures out, WHILE performing, what sounds better and transitions in to it. True musician!
It’s exactly what happened with Everlong lol
Bryce Raja indeed

Amazing soul! ❤ him
Grohl required vaccine passports to watch him play, he's a POS.
Dave Grohl is the biggest shining light in the music industry. He is amazing.

Ask Rosalia
It always amazes me how confident Dave is in-front of tons of people with just his voice and guitar..
It’s his vulnerability that makes him so relatable. We can feel it.

If Dave Grohl had 4 arms, he could go in concert all by himself. Guitar+Drums+Voice!

Walk"
A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days
We built these paper mountains
Then sat and watched them burn?
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger?
Little conquerors
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Now
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind?
Set me free again
To keep alive a moment at a time
But still inside a whisper to a riot
To sacrifice but knowing to survive
The first to climb another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees
I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I'll never say goodbye
Forever, whenever

Foo Fighters
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in, again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending

He's vocals are actually horrible. :) But when Kurt died he just did not had any other option than sing for himself.
Darude Sandstorm You're a goon, Dave's vocals are raw and real. Full of emotion, the way a rock musician should sound.
Vince D he's not a good singer, but I consider him to be great one.
Dave Grohl is a musical genius!
David Fucking Ghrol is such an iconic rock star and will be remembered forever for the many awesome hit songs he's shared with us. I love you Dave. I hope I get to jam a song or two with you someday, somehow, before my time here is up. Regardless, thanks a million times over for all of the great music, being such an awesome idol of mine, and for constantly motivating me to keep playing and singing. Most of all, thank you for making the decision to keep moving forward after we lost Kurt......I know it was tough, but can only imagine. Your strength inspires so many.
Joe Green I think I may be dyslexic, I just read, "ironic cock star"...
He performs The Pretenders as the very original song, even his voices are the same as the records. What a passion.
I love Dave Grohl so much, where do I begin?
He gives it his all and that's why it's superb!
I am such a big fan of this guy. Since I was 13. We are talking since 92-93. I didn’t think foo fighters would make it and I have never been more happy to be wrong
His passion and presence are palpable. All heart and soul and nuanced too.
"I don't know how that one is going to sound acoustic" fucking amazing apparently.
From nirvana to foo fighters and beyond. Dave is the best in the industry. Such an amazing person.
Such a great guy. He got so animated screaming during the bridge section and then you could hear how strained his voice was but he pulled through. My dude!
the man is the definition of a performer..so damn good
Almost 2019 and this is still one of the best acoustic video on youtube for me.
2023 and still is
almost 2024 and yep, still up there 😎
Describes Father God's life since obsidian! ❤Mother Father of all creation our parents and creators love this and are incarnate in the physical body on earth to guide us home! Please call home mom dad love u always ❤🎉 Luna
His "Learnin to walk again" moved me to tears😭
Wow, he has very powerful vocals. Incredible
I could listen to this man sing or speak all day.
If Dave made a solo acoustic Nirvana album, it'd problem stop the world from spinning and melt the sun.
Dave has the rare gift of being able to truly connect with the crowd. Not sure if it’s charisma or if his love for the music bleeds out, but I always walk away from FF concerts feeling like he knew exactly what the fans wanted to hear and that he enjoyed the show as much as everyone else. Rock legend.
His voice is beautiful
I never realized how much The Pretender is like Stairway.
What the song stairway to heaven by nickel back ?
I realized three hours agowhen i learnt it..
joe Costello
that about nickelback is a joke right?!
I love watching Dave play life because of his show of passion.
Exceptional performance in acoustic by the one and only Dave Grohl We have been blessed
This man is a master, an expressionist, this was like watching Starry Night getting painted. Never to be repeated, one of a kind. The skill, the emotion, the heart, the soul. One of the greatest works of art of all time.
I watch this video again again...probably the best performer ever unplugged
dave grohl you are just fucking awesome I can't wait to see you in concert man
This video should have millions of views!!!
a breakthrough moment for him and he totally nails it. this gives me chills.
I knew he was talented, but this just elevates him......above just about everyone. Stunned here.
Dave is a legend
I actually don't care about scandal, I just care about the music. Thank you Dave xx
Thank you, we are all imperfect. He is not Kurt
Give grace
I feel sad for people who haven't witnessed Dave Grohl perform. This is the purest and the closest you can get to a real music and a real artist.
So you're saying there is no such thing as real music? If this is the closest you can get.
Im truly proud of Dave. He's done good work all on his own, and he is owed that recognition.
Absolutely amazing! The chorus is pretender sounded a little weird/different but I take it that has to do with it being an acoustic version. It is amazing that he can tune and play a guitar with a few seconds of thinking over the song.
he's singin the harmony
He's most certainly played it by himself
I think if you listen to most of their live shows that's how he sings it
In a few live shows Taylor (the drummer) sings the chorus while dave just sings the harmony
In the studio version taylor screams the vocals for the chorus, Dave sings the harmony but it's turned down more.
I nearly cried for The song Walk. It really shows you the power of the human heart. Dave Grohl is a Role model for generations.
I love this guy. A true rock legend. Not sure how many times I've watched this video now. Never gets old.
Best performance by any musician in front one of the smallest crowd. Both the songs are awsome but walk helps me to keep me alive a moment at a time. The anger in Grohl's voice and the sadness of the chord D and Dmin...Epic!
I just wan that long hairstyle so cool
Well stop cutting your hair lol
on it now aswell XD
What about Vladimir Putin?
Dave made magic happen, amazing wonderful performance
Just found this, love Dave, and I'm so addicted to The Pretender acoustically performed.
helllllll yeah
2 STRONG SONGS !!!
VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE, DAVE gave it all to us and to the Universe as usual !!
BRAVO DAVE !!!
I'm not the biggest Foo Fighters fan but Dave Grohl is an incredible musician!
One of the best versions Ive heard. Daves a Genious! Gave me chills!
I just freaking love this guy.
🤩 I keep coming back to this video! 🏆 Pure internet gold! Dave is so amazing 🙌.
Dave, you know how to win my heart
Come on now. Dave has what it takes . it's 2023. I love music since 1972. Keep it going Dave.
This man invented the Foo Fighters in his basement. The 1st album he did every Instrument track and vocals. And when the album got picked up he was afraid to tell the record company it was just him there was no other band members... My favorite musician of all time
he's natural, he's awesome, he's the best musician i'd ever known
DG is seriously amazing. random guy shouts Pretender.
ok welp might sound weird just busts it out. just incredible. I truly believe he cares about his fans on a totally different level.
I just can't stop listening to this. Every weekend, a barbecue, some beers and friends, this video is the first one on the playlist. Long live Dave Grohl!!!
Only Dave could make acoustic AltRock sound metal as f**k. All in all it sounds very raw. He just goes for it.
Still loving this in 2019!
Dave is the greatest musician of his generation.
I Have watched this Probably a hundred times and everytime is like the First time! Blows My Freakin mind! Grohl for President!
Love how you can see and hear Dave's passion for music
I keep coming back to this, he is just such a giver. His passion is fascinating. I especially love the relationship he has with his microphone.
What a phenomenal guitar player and singer that man is , and that’s not even counting what a legend on the drums he is!!!
This man is a legend!!! His music transforms me. It's like gritty optimism!
Dave is the freaking MAN!!!!! What a man musician/writer.
one of my absolute favorite videos/songs. Used to listen to it to conquer addictions, now when I listen I just get chills and fired up, happy
This acoustic version of The Pretender looks amazing! I love this song :D
Love the little wry smile as he fucks up the start of the second verse of walk. The dude is my hero.
