No, not emo...lol...they are simply modern rock! People talk about how Cobain was a genius, but Grohl goes beyond that. Grohl is the singer, helps write most of their music, and is one of the best drummers in rock music today. Oh, I mention Cobain because he and Grohl are 2 founding members of Nirvana,
Dave Grohl is HEAVILY anti-drug, and the band is active in the anti-drug movement. Hawkins’ death came as a major shock to the band. Grohl has been vocal about his grief and has done several interviews where he spoke very frankly about Cobain and Hawkins and his depression experiences following both deaths.
Dave Grohl is an amazing dude. He literally plays any instrument you've ever heard of and puts out some great music, but he's also so involved in so many other things in life. Definitely, top 3 guys I'd love to hang out and have a beer with. Just an all around awesome guy.
Search for Foo Fighters Learn to Fly 1000. 1000 musicians get together to reproduce Learn to Fly in order to convince Dave Grohl to come to their city to play a concert, and he listened. It's impossible to watch that video without feeling 110% better about yourself, at least for me.
@@DianeJennings Three Mexican sisters covered this song outside up in the mountains in Mexico when they were 15, 13, and 11 years old. Video on TH-cam almost has 3 million views and is named *THE PRETENDER - FOO FIGHTERS COVER - THE WARNING - OUT OF THE BASEMENT* 6 years later (2022) they opened for Foo Fighters in front of 56 thousand people in Mexico City. Their cover is really good, but their originals from today are even better and they have around 50 of them. Anything performed at *Teatro Metropolitan CDMX in August 2022* will be worth your time and the song *Disciple* always is a good start.
@@TheUnderdogDe good call, that band is amazing and I remember their gig with the Foo Fighters, if I remember correctly it was one of their biggest audiences at that time; I think they have had bigger audiences when they toured Mexico and Europe with Muse though!
@@TheUnderdogDe I recall they were as stunned as anyone else, especially because they had just met and interacted with him. Must have been quite the shock, especially since their interaction with the band and crew was quite friendly and pleasant.
I was 13 in 1970. Music is my everything. When the Foo Fighters first cd dropped, I was hooked. Finally a rock band! I've been to about 70 concerts. I sae the Foos in 2019.
Diane they had a huge festival for Taylor after his passing with a ton of stars performing. Taylor's son who is also a drummer got to play with the band in his dad's place and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Very emotional concert. Even if you don't react to it , it's worth watching.
Listening to Britney all day, is what young Diane would do And she totally avoided, the Fighters of Foo As Diane got older, her musical tastes grew And now she makes reaction videos for me and you
I've heard of the Foo Fighters song the pretender on radio and tv but did not know the name of the song till I listened to it today with You. I know the names of most the other foo fighters songs. Thanks for sharing the music journey.
I was never a fan of Nirvana but Dave Grohl is a genius. He moved on to bigger and better! Foo Fighters videos can be hilarious. Great group of guys and will always miss Taylor, RIP. Glad you experienced them Diane!! Never miss your vid’s.
You are certainly entitled to that opinion. But Nirvana was a far superior band. Both are definitely great, but Nirvana will go down as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
@@joshsmith4512 okay guys who commented truth is I’m a boomer but was always open to different genres because I know lots of people in the music industry. That’s what I do. I have my opinion and you all have your own. It all gets down to respecting are differences without judgement. Why do you have to say that I’m funny with my views. Please think about that. Maybe you should check out other Supergroups from different times.
@@seannewman8542 Read my reply to the other guy who commented to me. Thx. Hahaha And Diane doesn’t like when people are disrespectful. Get with the program.
@susanmolnar9606 What?! How was I disrespectful? I really don't care what Diane or you think of my opinions. I will speak my mind, regardless. Thank you very much.
Foo Fighters lead man and ex- Nirvana member, David Grohl is one of the greatest drummers of all -time. Other great Foo Fighter hits include: "Big Me", "Wheels", "Times Like These", "Learn To Fly".
@@MRSYSTEM96 There’s a story about Foo Fighters playing a show at the Hollywood Bowl. Axll Rose was backstage and asked Taylor Hawkins, “What’s it like being the drummer for the best drummer in the world?” I don’t know if it’s true but it sounds rock ‘n roll.
Foo Fighter has always been a good band since they started. Dave Grohl having the experience from making alternative rock hits from the band nirvana as a drummer made a lot of catchy alternative rock songs.
Foo Fighters are a good band to listen to if you need to psych yourself up to face fear. Example like surfing a big set, or if you’re young enough to be playing sports. Also Grohl seems very like-able in real life based on shared music influences and his sense of humor. Several good songs over the years. Good one Diane!
Long time Sub, Never asked for anything, not once, until today. The FF's did continue on after a break, but just 8 days before Taylor's passing, they played a big outdoor gig in Mexico. They chose a popular 3 pc Power trio of all sisters named "THE WARNING", to open up for them. They was extremely kind and supporting of them, and treated them as equals. Sharing the stage lights and full sound system for the 55,000 fans in front of that massive stage, these little Ladies ages 17, 20, & 22 got that massive crowd fired up so well, that the band Muse took notice. When Muse came to Mexico for 4 shows, they asked These gals to be the main supporting act for them as well, in 3 major cites, with even larger crowds. These power rockers didn't disappoint, they melted faces across the country. so much, that Muse took them to Europe to open 9 major shows, and festivals there, including Rock am Ring/Park. They was so well received there, that they are returning April 2024 for a month long 19 show tour, then again for Wacken! Yes, they was in the first group of bands invited there. I would love for you check out one of the two (or both) songs they just played, on the 2023 MTV VMA's. More & Evolve. I know you will love them Diane. 💓
They sure did, and they slayed it, but that was forever ago, and as Littles. Ale was only 10! I loved it, still do, but the new material is amazing! They are currently working on their 4th LP. I have heard a couple of the new songs on it, and holy smokes! Wowzers! @@CCCreators
These guys have been consistently great for almost 3 decades...they have so many hits...my only complaint over the years is that they're a bit overplayed---but that's not their fault. Their FIRST big HIT was "Everlong" check it out
I would guess, when this came out, i was about your age. It warms my heart to see a young girl vibing to this like i did back then. Bless your heart 😊 thank you
Watching you react to one of my all-time favorite bands, has been a treat. The joy in your face was fantastic. Now just listen to the infected mushroom cover of the pretender.
I deeply love the Foo Fighters. Nirvana was one of my favorites in high school and Foo Fighters were my college years. Everlong is still in my top ten favorite songs ever list. I love how you have opened yourself up to listening and reviewing all these artists!
Thanks!!! Dunno what to else to say atm, sry. :) This jus rly struck a chord w/ me tho fr! Hope you get more great FF requests --- "Everlong" comes to my mind. (vaguely remember driving and hearing that song on the radio and it making me kinda speed on the highway just jammin' in part 'cause it reminded me of an ex, lol, so... yea idk.. great song weird music video! XD like how that era of rock music videos that all were, haha which is cool) and as far as emo, I like how Rap has branched into the Emo Rap genre, and there's often guitar riffs and all kinds of hybrid music out there not even just in rap now too, Juice WRLD comes to mind, Polo G - "Distraction." You have a good message about open mindedness and this video was fun, so yea thanks! Keep rocking or... yea. just thanks lol. u can't hear it enough, so i'll agree with everyone else and just say you are so wholesome and personally idk how u do it, but we see that ever strong even when you don't! so that's about it, see i told you i got nothing to say! hmm.. lol........... tl;dr: thanks.
Happy Friday Diane! I'm not too up on the Foo Fighters or any of their music. I'm an 80s baby so I tend to gravitate more towards the music that I grew up on. This band has a pretty good sound to them and it looked like you were jamming out to them. I always enjoy your reactions to new music that you never listened to before. Glad you enjoyed them. Have a great weekend and a blessed month. Be well and rock on dearie! 😎👍❤️🎉🙂
You really should try THE WARNING 3 Sisters from Mexico, The Pretender cover.. and THE WARNING 2023 MTV VMAs Evolve & More.. best band around today THE WARNING ..
I love the Foo Fighters and your reaction to them filled my heart with joy! If you want a good video to cry to, you can watch the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert where they bring out Taylor Hawkins' son to play the drums on their song "My Hero". It never fails to make my eyeballs fill with face water.
Dave Growl is labeled as one of if not the nicest person in "rock". He is down to earth, generous, a very grounded family man. Not to mention a musical genius. Dave is very anti-drug
I took a long while to become a fan of them. Went to see a concert and was immediately hooked, they are a very good band, the late Taylor Hawkins was one of the best drummers out there. Grohl is known for his generosity, often invites audience members onstage to participate and has gifted them guitars. There is a video of a tribute concert for Hawkins that is worth watching, Hawkins 16 year old son is also a budding drummer and plays one of the most energetic performances you will ever see.
@@DianeJenningsyeah Shane Hawkins is a great young drummer. For a hilarious (and great) video of an audience member playing with them check out Kiss Guy. Grohl is hilarious, welcoming, and so cool about it!
Love the Foo! Dave is a genuine rock god! Great story of him falling off the stage and breaking his leg early in a show, early in their tour. He completed the lengthy show with the doctor holding his leg together. He then continued the tour while sitting on a throne of guitars. You should look it up!
OMG I totally forgot about that....A total rock warrior as he was supposedly in quite a bit of pain during that show and the rest of the tour. Their is a certain joy/optimism with Dave and you can tell its just so genuine. I feel bad that he has had to endure the loss of two great bandmates, but Taylor had to hit him hard as Kurt was known to be a distant type, while Dave and Taylor always both said they were like soul brothers.
Foo Fighters song Everlong is used in the movies Wolf of Wall Street and briefly in Little Nicky while Nicky is ascending in the air from his girlfriend's apartment building scene.
Love the Foo Fighters! Thanks, Diane! Dave Grohl is super talented. More or less taught himself to play guitar and drums, singing came naturally. Besides Foo Fighters and Nirvana, he has done collabs with lotsa others. It's so much fun watching you discover music that I enjoy. Rock On, Irish Girl! Let's Dance!
Aww that’s great to hear. I enjoy the feel of it being like when i share a funny video I’ve seen with someone and they laugh. I guess it’s like that for ye
Truth be told you should listen to one of your fellow country men Rory Gallagher he was so ahead of his time great guitar player, died way to young, his Irish tour is so unbelievably he has a video of acoustic guitar and his voice on British TV is absolutely incredible
I can try with this there was as u know bands from Great Britain in the 60s the time I grew up Beatles were the bench mark great music then came the late 60s bands like Taste, Rory first band then his his solo career and off he went, also at that time was Led Zeppelin, but a band in 67 I followed until this very day Jethro Tull seen them 30 times you want to travel down a rabbit hole listen to their first album “This was” to every thing after Ian Anderson brilliant he’s Scottish they started in Black Pool in the 60s that’s your home work assignment for today let me know if I can help you along the way be well Merry Christmas to you also
Chewie was sad. He could see how much you were enjoying the music. But he doesn't have headphones. He would like some treats and a nice walk to make up for it. 🙂 Everyone have a wonderful day.
Happy Friday Diane! I only know a couple of Foo Fighters songs. My Sister is a big Foo Fighters fan though. And yes this is my new sign in! But it'll still have the same silly jokes. Boop!
That face you make when it kicks in is like seeing a new color or tasting your new favorite food for the first time! Dave Grohl made a documentary called Sound City Reel to Real which includes a lot of these artists you've been reacting to. It's one of my favorite music documentaries and I'd love to see you react to it.
That sounds great! My favorite part of these is the shared experience with you guys. It’s like when we share a funny tiktok vid and your mate laughs too
diane? i really enjoy watching you get into the music. you start dancing without even thinking about it. there is something about it that is so natural and pure and it just makes me smile. for just a few minutes i forget my troubles and enjoy watching you be happy. thank you. be well.
Rather than Emo lets say Alt rock, grunge or hard rock. Absolutely amazing band with tons of great songs. Listen to everything by them. Since you liked The Pretender you will find dozens of songs in that vein as well as other types of rock.
I still think you need to check out the Dropkick Murphys, a Boston based band that combines Irish folk with punk rock. Might be a good St. Patrick's Day project in a couple of months.
Back in the 60s and 70s we just called it rock or hard rock. In the '90s, Alternative Rock was new hard rock. Classic Rock was 60s and 70s hard rock. It was all rock. In the 80s, kids listened to 60s and 70s music because the 80s music was vapid wretch. Then there was a lot of the 2000s and 2010s when rock sort of died out. Except for bands like The Warning.
I clicked sooooo fast, haha! I absolutely love the FooFighters and their lead singer, Dave Grohl. I still want to see them live someday. They are one of the last bands that truly just ⚡ROCK⚡in my humble opinion. 🤘 Glad you checked them out! (And don't get me wrong, I like Britney too!! 😂)
Yep! The Foo Fighters liked it so much, they asked them to open some of their shows on tour. The Warning have become an unbelievable performance band. Their official live concert videos of 22 songs at Teatro Metropolitan, 08/29/2022, are "god level awesome," as one reviewer put it.
You are fine, Diane. Now you have just found another world. I love that you compared them to "Emo". Well yeah their music is emotional. They are intense. I hope you listen more to one of the greatest bands in Rock's history. "Everlong" is one of my favorite songs ever. You really should do a video reaction of it.
Dave Group was born in my hometown of Warren, Ohio. The day the city dedicated an alley to him, Dave showed up and played a couple of songs on acoustic guitar. A few years ago, Foo Fighters played locally in a small store for Record Store Day. The band then went to Dave Grohl Alley for photos.
Great video selection (great song). Your reaction, “I like this type of music” was great…..it reminds me of my reaction when I try new food selections. I have always felt that the Foo Fighters were an “under the radar” type of band (not necessarily mainstream but when people hear them they have the same type of reaction).
Foo Fighters Yes 👍Dave Grohl is a not just cool but a really nice guy. Apparently he had barbecues for firefighters that were battling wildfires. Also: Diane your playfulness with Chewie is so adorable and heartwarming. Take care from Vancouver BC 🇨🇦
Great reaction Diane! Foo Fighters have long been one of my favourite bands and this song is my fav from them. Glad you liked it! If I can suggest another band to react to, the band The Warning is a great rock band with music in a similar style to the Foo Fighters. The Warning have opened for the Foo Fighters before in their home country of Mexico and are going on their first full headlining tour of Europe in April. They toured Europe last year doing festivals and opening for various bands including Muse, who invited them to come to England to open for them after hearing them when they opened for Muse in Mexico. The Warning consists of three sisters, Daniella (lead guitar and vocals), Paulina (Drums and vocals), and Alejandra (Bass guitar and backing vocals). They sing mostly in English, but do have a couple of Spanish songs in their repertoire. I'll warn you (pun intended) that they are incredible even though they are still quite young (the youngest sister will turn 19 next month), and they are incredible musicians and song writers. All their songs are good, but try starting off with Dust to Dust, Choke, Animosity, or Survive. The Warning rabbit hole is quite deep. 😀
Chewie would like to have a dog companion but Chewie understands and can always hang out with friends too. Your Really Good Mom and spend a lot of time with Chewie so Chewie feels Very Loved.
The Foo Fighters music video on the airplane was probably for "Learn to Fly" and I think it featured Jack Black. It's kind of funny. You should also react to their "Everlong" music video. It's probably my favorite song of theirs.
Saw them in concert after this album came out - it was incredible. Dave Grohl is such a nice guy, he used to hang out at my hometown beach in the 2000's. Super chill and friendly :)
@@DianeJennings Right, thought it was a cool fun fact to add. I wouldn't call myself a fan but I do like the movie Year One from 2009 that ones a good one and a few of his movies.
The Foo Fighters' music was my saving grace as a teenager. You should get their album "The Colour and the Shape" and just listen to it from beginning to end.
When this came out, they were all married and either had kids or had ones on the way. They would take their families with them to the summer festivals. Their drummer struggled with drugs off and on and the cause of death was never revealed. Dave’s mom was very close and died about 6 months after Taylor. Dave’s daughter sings and Taylor’s son drums. They regularly headline festivals (Glastonbury) and sold out Wembley more than once. They’re amazing live! Just regular guys who make great music.
I'm sure someone else has said, but I don't wanna look for the comment, so I'll say it again. 😊 The video you're thinking of is Learn To Fly. I love this song. One of my other favorites is Best of You.
DID YOU JUST CALL FOO FIGHTERS EMO!!?!?!?!? NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN!!!
Are they not emo rock?!! Pinning for discussion 😊
No, not emo...lol...they are simply modern rock! People talk about how Cobain was a genius, but Grohl goes beyond that. Grohl is the singer, helps write most of their music, and is one of the best drummers in rock music today. Oh, I mention Cobain because he and Grohl are 2 founding members of Nirvana,
I think I'd probably use grunge rock?
@@jabezcreed yes, that's an apt comparison
🤣 I think they were pre-emo, it’s quite possible emo bands found inspiration from Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl is HEAVILY anti-drug, and the band is active in the anti-drug movement. Hawkins’ death came as a major shock to the band. Grohl has been vocal about his grief and has done several interviews where he spoke very frankly about Cobain and Hawkins and his depression experiences following both deaths.
Grohl is pro weed though. Seems against the rest, but he tells of himself even Comparatively recently smoking weed.
No shock. Taylor was fighting those demons for years
Fresh pots!
Smokes and drinks like a fish so.......
Dave Grohl is an amazing dude. He literally plays any instrument you've ever heard of and puts out some great music, but he's also so involved in so many other things in life. Definitely, top 3 guys I'd love to hang out and have a beer with. Just an all around awesome guy.

Yup and he cooks a mean brisket too😂😂😂
This song is one of my favorite songs from this band. These guys are Awesome and I always put them on in the jukebox at the local bars, always.
Sounds great!
@@DianeJennings Three Mexican sisters covered this song outside up in the mountains in Mexico when they were 15, 13, and 11 years old.
Video on TH-cam almost has 3 million views and is named *THE PRETENDER - FOO FIGHTERS COVER - THE WARNING - OUT OF THE BASEMENT*

‘Everlong’ and ‘My Hero’ are probably my favorite songs of theirs, and definitely worth listening to.
I'd love to see a reaction to one of their acoustic versions of these.
Dave Grohl is My Hero :)

@@willenholly Taylor told that story on Howard Stern.
I've always loved "Word Forward." "Walk" and "One of These Days" are amazing songs as well.
These Days is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. All My Life is a banger! Maybe a deep cut like Let it Die, Gimme Stitches, or But, Honestly
Foo Fighter has always been a good band since they started. Dave Grohl having the experience from making alternative rock hits from the band nirvana as a drummer made a lot of catchy alternative rock songs.

Oh you’ve just stumbled into an AMAZING rabbit hole of goodness!!
Dave Growl is labeled as one of if not the nicest person in "rock". He is down to earth, generous, a very grounded family man. Not to mention a musical genius. Dave is very anti-drug
I took a long while to become a fan of them. Went to see a concert and was immediately hooked, they are a very good band, the late Taylor Hawkins was one of the best drummers out there. Grohl is known for his generosity, often invites audience members onstage to participate and has gifted them guitars. There is a video of a tribute concert for Hawkins that is worth watching, Hawkins 16 year old son is also a budding drummer and plays one of the most energetic performances you will ever see.
That sounds VERY cool!
@@DianeJenningsyeah Shane Hawkins is a great young drummer. For a hilarious (and great) video of an audience member playing with them check out Kiss Guy. Grohl is hilarious, welcoming, and so cool about it!
I’m so so glad you like them!! I love this group!
Love the Foo! Dave is a genuine rock god! Great story of him falling off the stage and breaking his leg early in a show, early in their tour. He completed the lengthy show with the doctor holding his leg together. He then continued the tour while sitting on a throne of guitars. You should look it up!
OMG I totally forgot about that....A total rock warrior as he was supposedly in quite a bit of pain during that show and the rest of the tour. Their is a certain joy/optimism with Dave and you can tell its just so genuine. I feel bad that he has had to endure the loss of two great bandmates, but Taylor had to hit him hard as Kurt was known to be a distant type, while Dave and Taylor always both said they were like soul brothers.
What could any of us do without these brave men fighting foo?😜
Foo Fighters song Everlong is used in the movies Wolf of Wall Street and briefly in Little Nicky while Nicky is ascending in the air from his girlfriend's apartment building scene.
The best when you see him live if you get a chance, we should definitely go see them at a concert
And now you're ready for The Warning's cover of this song when they were 11,14,16 years old.
Foo Fighters are legends in the rock and metal scene. They've been around nearly 30 years, and have been putting our bangers the whole time.
Love the Foo Fighters! Thanks, Diane! Dave Grohl is super talented. More or less taught himself to play guitar and drums, singing came naturally. Besides Foo Fighters and Nirvana, he has done collabs with lotsa others. It's so much fun watching you discover music that I enjoy. Rock On, Irish Girl! Let's Dance!
Aww that’s great to hear. I enjoy the feel of it being like when i share a funny video I’ve seen with someone and they laugh. I guess it’s like that for ye
This song came out about the time I turned 16 and got my first car. Just iconic windows rolled down blasting this around town late at night ❤
I love this song and video visuality.. great production.. br Diane from Finland
HAHAHAhAHAHAHAHA that jaw drop, the head bop, the dancing finger points and just joy is awesome. Thank you for a GREAT reaction!
Truth be told you should listen to one of your fellow country men Rory Gallagher he was so ahead of his time great guitar player, died way to young, his Irish tour is so unbelievably he has a video of acoustic guitar and his voice on British TV is absolutely incredible
@officialDiane- hi Diane I’m here what can I help you with?
I can try with this there was as u know bands from Great Britain in the 60s the time I grew up Beatles were the bench mark great music then came the late 60s bands like Taste, Rory first band then his his solo career and off he went, also at that time was Led Zeppelin, but a band in 67 I followed until this very day Jethro Tull seen them 30 times you want to travel down a rabbit hole listen to their first album “This was” to every thing after Ian Anderson brilliant he’s Scottish they started in Black Pool in the 60s that’s your home work assignment for today let me know if I can help you along the way be well Merry Christmas to you also
Chewie was sad. He could see how much you were enjoying the music. But he doesn't have headphones. He would like some treats and a nice walk to make up for it. 🙂
Everyone have a wonderful day.
Happy Friday Diane! I only know a couple of Foo Fighters songs. My Sister is a big Foo Fighters fan though. And yes this is my new sign in! But it'll still have the same silly jokes. Boop!
Happy Friday… did you change your Alias?
That face you make when it kicks in is like seeing a new color or tasting your new favorite food for the first time! Dave Grohl made a documentary called Sound City Reel to Real which includes a lot of these artists you've been reacting to. It's one of my favorite music documentaries and I'd love to see you react to it.
That sounds great! My favorite part of these is the shared experience with you guys. It’s like when we share a funny tiktok vid and your mate laughs too
You definitely gotta hear Best Of You, Everlong, Learn to Fly, My Hero. Those are some Foo classic necessities
Seeing them live is the best. You. Must. Go. High energy fun for two+ hours! 🔥
One of the most genuine reactions ever! Nicely Done!
diane? i really enjoy watching you get into the music. you start dancing without even thinking about it. there is something about it that is so natural and pure and it just makes me smile. for just a few minutes i forget my troubles and enjoy watching you be happy. thank you.
be well.
Legendary reaction to the Foo's, brilliant to watch 🤘👍
Rather than Emo lets say Alt rock, grunge or hard rock. Absolutely amazing band with tons of great songs. Listen to everything by them. Since you liked The Pretender you will find dozens of songs in that vein as well as other types of rock.
10+ years later this song still gives me chills.
Wow, you just picked my favorite Foo Fighters song to start with. Good choice.
The escalation in this song is the best I have ever heard, constant and unique.
I still think you need to check out the Dropkick Murphys, a Boston based band that combines Irish folk with punk rock. Might be a good St. Patrick's Day project in a couple of months.
Just seen Dropkick a few months back. Still awesome
I'm proud of ya! from Britney to Foo-Fighters nice. They have so many great songs and videos "Learning to Fly" is one of the best music videos ever.
Your journey down the Foo Fighters path will only get better from here!!!
There's a very good reason why Dave(lead singer) is a twice inductee to the Rock and Roll hall of fame
Haha, nice reaction, you’re funny and very cute when you get into it.
Back in the 90s we called this music Alternative Rock.
Back in the 60s and 70s we just called it rock or hard rock. In the '90s, Alternative Rock was new hard rock. Classic Rock was 60s and 70s hard rock. It was all rock. In the 80s, kids listened to 60s and 70s music because the 80s music was vapid wretch. Then there was a lot of the 2000s and 2010s when rock sort of died out. Except for bands like The Warning.
Enjoyed your reactions
I clicked sooooo fast, haha! I absolutely love the FooFighters and their lead singer, Dave Grohl. I still want to see them live someday. They are one of the last bands that truly just ⚡ROCK⚡in my humble opinion. 🤘 Glad you checked them out! (And don't get me wrong, I like Britney too!! 😂)
We can totally like both. Nobody can put us in a box Rock on Brooke!
That's right! 😂 "WHAT IF I SAY I'M NOT LIKE THE OTHERS"🤘🤘🤘 @@DianeJennings
Great reaction! Great band! They have stood the test of time, for sure. And I forgive you for calling the Foo Fighters emo 😂
Their live shows are some of the best! Pure energy and a good time🤘❤🤟!
The 1st time I heard this song was a cover by The Warning...I love both versions!
And absolutely fabulous cover. Love The Warning!
Yep! The Foo Fighters liked it so much, they asked them to open some of their shows on tour. The Warning have become an unbelievable performance band. Their official live concert videos of 22 songs at Teatro Metropolitan, 08/29/2022, are "god level awesome," as one reviewer put it.
You are fine, Diane. Now you have just found another world. I love that you compared them to "Emo". Well yeah their music is emotional. They are intense. I hope you listen more to one of the greatest bands in Rock's history. "Everlong" is one of my favorite songs ever. You really should do a video reaction of it.
Dave Group was born in my hometown of Warren, Ohio. The day the city dedicated an alley to him, Dave showed up and played a couple of songs on acoustic guitar. A few years ago, Foo Fighters played locally in a small store for Record Store Day. The band then went to Dave Grohl Alley for photos.
gee...dear dorki...haha...good to see ya come to your senses... and listen to the foo fighters....
Great video selection (great song). Your reaction, “I like this type of music” was great…..it reminds me of my reaction when I try new food selections. I have always felt that the Foo Fighters were an “under the radar” type of band (not necessarily mainstream but when people hear them they have the same type of reaction).
Thank you so much!! It was such a fun surprise
Isn't it nice how our taste change as we get older I like it
You should check out Everlong or My Hero...two of Foo's most popular and moving songs
my most favorite song. thank you
Foo Fighters Yes 👍Dave Grohl is a not just cool but a really nice guy. Apparently he had barbecues for firefighters that were battling wildfires.
Also: Diane your playfulness with Chewie is so adorable and heartwarming.
Take care from Vancouver BC 🇨🇦
Great reaction Diane! Foo Fighters have long been one of my favourite bands and this song is my fav from them. Glad you liked it! If I can suggest another band to react to, the band The Warning is a great rock band with music in a similar style to the Foo Fighters. The Warning have opened for the Foo Fighters before in their home country of Mexico and are going on their first full headlining tour of Europe in April. They toured Europe last year doing festivals and opening for various bands including Muse, who invited them to come to England to open for them after hearing them when they opened for Muse in Mexico. The Warning consists of three sisters, Daniella (lead guitar and vocals), Paulina (Drums and vocals), and Alejandra (Bass guitar and backing vocals). They sing mostly in English, but do have a couple of Spanish songs in their repertoire. I'll warn you (pun intended) that they are incredible even though they are still quite young (the youngest sister will turn 19 next month), and they are incredible musicians and song writers. All their songs are good, but try starting off with Dust to Dust, Choke, Animosity, or Survive. The Warning rabbit hole is quite deep. 😀
Chewie would like to have a dog companion but Chewie understands and can always hang out with friends too. Your Really Good Mom and spend a lot of time with Chewie so Chewie feels Very Loved.
@@DianeJennings
Diane rocking out 😊✊️🤘🤘
The Foo Fighters music video on the airplane was probably for "Learn to Fly" and I think it featured Jack Black. It's kind of funny. You should also react to their "Everlong" music video. It's probably my favorite song of theirs.
Saw them in concert after this album came out - it was incredible. Dave Grohl is such a nice guy, he used to hang out at my hometown beach in the 2000's. Super chill and friendly :)
Thanks for the video
Actor Jack Black is in the Foo Fighters music video Learn to Fly.
Oooh I’m not a fan
@@DianeJennings Right, thought it was a cool fun fact to add. I wouldn't call myself a fan but I do like the movie Year One from 2009 that ones a good one and a few of his movies.
You can call Rock any name, but if it rocks it's ROCK!
If Diane likes this version, she'll love it live when she sees they've added a Orchestral String Quartet to the song.
The Foo Fighters' music was my saving grace as a teenager. You should get their album "The Colour and the Shape" and just listen to it from beginning to end.
When this came out, they were all married and either had kids or had ones on the way. They would take their families with them to the summer festivals. Their drummer struggled with drugs off and on and the cause of death was never revealed. Dave’s mom was very close and died about 6 months after Taylor. Dave’s daughter sings and Taylor’s son drums. They regularly headline festivals (Glastonbury) and sold out Wembley more than once. They’re amazing live! Just regular guys who make great music.
I'm sure someone else has said, but I don't wanna look for the comment, so I'll say it again. 😊 The video you're thinking of is Learn To Fly. I love this song. One of my other favorites is Best of You.
Awesome reaction!
