This song is so different from their usual stuff that it still stands out today. Definitely still one of my favorite. Look at how happy Taylor looked, that's what I'll miss. That smile, that blindingly white smile from behind the drums, and God was he a master drummer! This song is how I will remember Taylor. This live performance.
It's the first studio song we heard with him on drums. Opening track to 3rd album. You're right. One of the best. How could anybody not like him? Lots of hateful words being spread about him right now.
One of my favourite songs and an absolutely incredible beat. Rest in Peace Taylor, I'm incredibley happy to have grown up with a beat in my step thanks to you.
Too 'Weird' for a greatest hits album. I think this is one of their best songs but the best of compilations have to contain commercial and popular songs.
Supongo que no está incluida en el álbum de los grandes éxitos, porque tiene por allá su toque medio similar a Nirvana, sobretodo al in Utero. En mi humilde opinión, siendo una canción muy buena.
Eric Johnson When Pat was on The Germs the other members were starting to jerk themselves out. So I guess that 30 years of punk rock teach you that, dude.
Most ridiculous statement … Led Zeppelin? Not even in the conversation. Coo fighters is need rock for gamers in their moms basement. This song Song is an obvious Kurt Ripp off on the coattails of his death Dave did the same thing with his chorus parts. Dave and Kurt were not close. Dave was only in the band a couple years. Complete pirate. Foo fighters and Dave’s music in general is nerd gamer rock. No where near the soul of Nirvana. Foo fans are geeks that branched off from Nirvana but claim some sort of heritage to coolness that they don’t deserve and damn sure didn’t inherit. Band is lame, period.
I saw the Foo Fighters in 1999 when this had just come out. It was a benefit show at the House of Blues at Disneyland - invite only. My wife and I were sitting at the bar and during the guitar solo of this song, Dave jumped off the stage, ran across the room and literally leapt up on the bar and proceeded to play the rhythm part with his feet just inches from my beer. We were stunned and star stuck. To this day, it was probably the single heaviest thing I've ever experienced at a concert.
@Weaselfilms you GOTTA SEE THEM IN CONCERT. This performance is toned DOWN compared to their live shows. Saw these guys front row and it’s still my best concert to date.
Pat is a master DGAFer. I love his solo. Solos don't all have to be masterful, pretentious displays of knowing how to use scales and shit. It's about doing what you feel like doing. That's exactly what he's doing here.
When Pat makes the slightest mistake with that slide and all band members laugh instead of bothering or gestures, it is when you realize when a band really enjoys what they do every time they do, being happy. Hopefully the Foo Fighters were eternal and teach you all how to enjoy the work you do and the day you live. Yes, it's very romantic how I said that, but it's the truth.
this has to be one of the best performances by them on one of their most awesome live songs and the crowd is just standing there. i would be going nuts here during all their little mini solos, and i loled when dave just took his shoes off, but no, theyre barely even clapping.
I did...and Taylor..after a Foos gig here...they were cool....Another time,I talked to Taylor on the phone at his hotel here.....I asked if he collected vintage drums/cymbals...He said no.....
I love everything about this video. Chris’s kickass Les Paul, Dave in a suit (hottttt), Dave saying a funny at the beginning, Pat’s black Strat, Nate’s shiny P-bass, Taylor refusing to wear a jacket (totally get it dude), the fact that this is a Beatles tribute (my other fav band) … oh and Stacked Actors. Great song 😂
I got the album "there is nothing left to lose" for christmas 1999, Great album and every time i hear this song it brings me back to that time! The Foo Fighters are still one of the best american rock bands out there today and Dave and the boys still fucking rock!
This performance was the second video I came upon after seeing Everlong. I knew nothing of the Foo Fighters or their music.THIS performance made me fall in love back in January of this year, listen to ALL of their music I could find and at the end of February buy a ticket to see them in July. I saw this and before I knew the names of the band members I called Dave Grohl Mr big beautiful mouth, and Taylor Hawkins the cowboy on a white horse in a white suit with a gleaming white smile.... aka surfer dude. Nate Mendel gassing the rhythm, and of course "Shifty'" Chris Shiflett, with Pat Smear adding dimension. But what caught my attention about THIS performance was the way Mr big beautiful mouth says "mm hm" at the beginning, the way his tie wants to be free of him and how he casually removes his shoes. Towards the end (at 8:28,8:29), surfer dude is literally dancing, DANCING on the drums while he's playing that kick. Everyone in the band is jamming to this song and it is infectious, funky and sexy as hell. No turning back ma. I was SO looking forward to seeing them here in NYC and I literally cried reading the 6 am newsfeed that Taylor Hawkins was gone💔💔. The whole of Foo Fighters catalog is freaking fantastic. I have about 90 of their songs on repeat. All thanks to this bad ass 11 year old performance. Much love to them and all the other fans. Signed Old Black Lady in NYC
First time seeing this video and hearing this song. Just when I think I can’t love these guys more than I already do, I see another performance and the love is even stronger. RIP Taylor.❤️🥁
MegaRockstar48 . This is a Gibson 335 Trini Lopez . It’s Daves go to Guitar . He shops at Norman’s Rare Guitars In Tarzana . Chris Favours Strat and Les Pauls . Pat seems to have the biggest selection .
this was an amazing performance! I love how after the drummers solo at 4:00 he breaks into a drumbeat that reminds me of the band taking us on a sonic train ride that picks up speed thereafter....
Every few months, I come back and watch this one again. Great song and this performance in particular is so freaking good. That interlude at around 4:10 gives me big QOTSA vibes. And Taylor shines on the drums.
I never was an Foo Fighters Fan and I think i will never be. But i love this Song as hell and especially this Version. He has forever a Place in my personell Top 100 List of the best Songs of all Times. Thank you, FF
this performance is unbelivable! so awesome, i really want to emphasise how much i enjoyed this, everything about this is great, all th little solo's in the song, all the guitars solo's the bass solo the drum solo the build ups and the whole feeling of this song is EPIC! downloading this song right away. foo fighters will always have a large space in my life
This is off arguably their best album, There Is Nothing Left to Lose, which won a Grammy and was recorded in the basement of Grohl's house in Alexandria, VA. And this is the opening song, which essentially grabs you by the throat and never lets go until the end of the last song.
I saw them in 2008 at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City, I was 15 years old. Taylor Hawkins blew my fucking mind. I love the foo fighters. R.I.P Taylor Hawkins
Incredible, I love it when they bring life back into the older songs live, it's brilliant, one of the reasons why they will always be one of my biggest influences #Cub
My best time in my young life...tnx FF for give me still energy after more years again! RIP Taylor and tnx for everything. You miss much more in this world...love at your FF. Luca from Italy.
One of their best songs. On another note, have audiences forgot what a rock performance is? I am amazed at all the concert footage these these day where you see people barely moving. This studio performance is the same.
Some people don't feel the music. I went to see the Foos and Fun Lovin Criminals aged 17 (2000), RHCP aged 18 (2002) and thought I'd outgrown energetic gigs by then!!!!
These are beautiful men playing beautiful music. Unless you have been in a band you will never know how hard and how hard it is to get those stops tight. Hours of practice and patience.
Possibly the greatest break (2:58) in the middle of a rock song ever. Check out the studio version too, although this is a great live version and they hardly ever play it live anymore.
P.S.- This is, in my opinion, the best song on the whole album; this was the album when the Foofighters started shedding their ferocity on their albums.
Sounds so awesome! I love the parts when they changed it up and slowed it down too 😊 This has always been one of my favourites since the album came out. The anniversary of Taylor’s passing away brought me to this video. RIP Taylor. You will always be one of my favourite drummers and have been for about 23 years.
This song is so different from their usual stuff that it still stands out today. Definitely still one of my favorite. Look at how happy Taylor looked, that's what I'll miss. That smile, that blindingly white smile from behind the drums, and God was he a master drummer! This song is how I will remember Taylor. This live performance.

will be missed so much
Take note!
This how it's done boys. RIP Taylor
@@MajorCanada I always thought the live version was their version of Led Zeppelins Moby dick.
Yeah….
So sad😢
i will never know why this song was never included in they're greatest hits album :/
and I'll Stick Around. First FF song I learned on guitar.
One of their best for sure
Its one of my favorite foo songs
Too 'Weird' for a greatest hits album.
I think this is one of their best songs but the best of compilations have to contain commercial and popular songs.
Supongo que no está incluida en el álbum de los grandes éxitos, porque tiene por allá su toque medio similar a Nirvana, sobretodo al in Utero. En mi humilde opinión, siendo una canción muy buena.
Nate's little solo is awesome, don't get to hear that bass that often lol.
Cory R yessssss so nice
Metallica, Woodstock 94. Jason on bass. Check it out, also a really rad solo imo
He plays Bass. Its tragic you even noticed. Don't do that again
Which is good because he has this cool little tag lines coming into the soft sections that I was missing
Slappa-da-Basssss
This is one of the best live performances I've seen, Taylor goes absolutely nuts at the end... we miss ya buddy
I love how pat just fucks with them on the solo part: "Hmm they all played pretty clean little scales--PICKSLIDE!!!"
His face is priceless aswell xD
theaksy1 Fuck that was so good lol. Daves reaction was funny as fuck.
Eric Johnson Pat is a fucking boss!! Hilarious.
Eric Johnson so funny but would have loved to see him shred out a solo too!!
Eric Johnson When Pat was on The Germs the other members were starting to jerk themselves out. So I guess that 30 years of punk rock teach you that, dude.
I truly believe Foo Fighters are our generations Led Zeppelin. I think there music will live on forever.
THEIR music
And this song was their "Moby Dick" during shows. Just let Taylor play
Most ridiculous statement … Led Zeppelin? Not even in the conversation. Coo fighters is need rock for gamers in their moms basement.

@@debtcare1 Spastic statement
@@debtcare1yeaah, sure😂
Best performance of Stacked Actors
Check their show in Paris during their In Your Honor era dude. That one's better imo
wembley 2008 is amazing as well. Taylors drum solo is great.
Three Ampegs would have been better
Although I’m sure it was awesome, the best version of it was when they were in Saskatoon. Nofof
@@MrWadrO WOOH SASKATOON LETS GO
I'm an old guy, but the Foos I think are the best of our lifetime. Dave is unbelievable from Nirvana to fronting the Foos.
I saw the Foo Fighters in 1999 when this had just come out. It was a benefit show at the House of Blues at Disneyland - invite only. My wife and I were sitting at the bar and during the guitar solo of this song, Dave jumped off the stage, ran across the room and literally leapt up on the bar and proceeded to play the rhythm part with his feet just inches from my beer.

One of the greatest live acts of all time, it's not even open for debate
Pat's pick slide solo is legendary. It worked perfectly in this even if it was a mistake haha.
I disagree. He was weak on his turn and it showed. I don't care, being proficient is not his role.
@@jamesbarrick3403 Yeah exactly, Pat Smear is good at rhythm guitar parts, but lacks in lead parts and being able to solo.
I agree.
That wasn’t a mistake. Purely intentional. He’s a rhythm guitarist. He never solos.
I love this song and have always thought of it as the Foo Fighters “Helter Skelter”. Love the QOTSA break down in the middle.
Thank you for noticing
Foo fighters helter skelter would be white limo or weenie beenie.
the individual solos gave me an eargasm
Especially Pat's
was his a joke or was he jut shit ? either way it was brilliant
Pat is a goddamn legend, he pranked them.
Just Awesome! Now that’s Rock and Roll! We’ll miss you Taylor.
Stacked Actorsanditsoundslikethis - Foo Fighters
Lmao
This version of this song absolutely slays everything. AMAZING.
try and find the version where they played this song at Westley. definitely the best version, though it's been taken off TH-cam
This is honestly the best live performance I've seen in a while.
watch some red hot chili peppers
Agreed, I wish they'd release this session as an album.
@Weaselfilms you GOTTA SEE THEM IN CONCERT. This performance is toned DOWN compared to their live shows. Saw these guys front row and it’s still my best concert to date.
Dave: This song is called.....stackedactorsitsoundslikethis
+GetthatSHITouttahere and screaming like shiieett
GetthatSHITouttahere hahahahahahhahahahahahhaa
Smoking weed, enjoying the foo fighters on letterman🎸
lmao
@@janisnolette niceeeee
Pat is a master DGAFer. I love his solo. Solos don't all have to be masterful, pretentious displays of knowing how to use scales and shit. It's about doing what you feel like doing. That's exactly what he's doing here.
I always loved Stacked Actors but dear god this is amazing
When Pat makes the slightest mistake with that slide and all band members laugh instead of bothering or gestures, it is when you realize when a band really enjoys what they do every time they do, being happy. Hopefully the Foo Fighters were eternal and teach you all how to enjoy the work you do and the day you live. Yes, it's very romantic how I said that, but it's the truth.
he did it on purpose though
+Victor Hugo Corona That was so cool-this is a great live concert-better than the other ones ive seenand no that wasn't on purpose- cant be
I think it was done poorly on purpose. It wouldn't surprise me if it was because of Pat's reputation in Punk rock.
To me it sounded good as fuck haha
Pat has never made a mistake in his life dude...
this has to be one of the best performances by them on one of their most awesome live songs and the crowd is just standing there. i would be going nuts here during all their little mini solos, and i loled when dave just took his shoes off, but no, theyre barely even clapping.
Those folks in the audience must have been DEAD inside. HOW in the world could they stand still to such a bop? SMH
For real though... the one chick yelling take it ALL off is the best but she was probably being shushed the entire time after that 🤦🏾♀️
This performance is a masterpiece! I love that Dave goes to jam with Pat ♥
When I’m in the old folks home, I’m going to start a band and we are going to rock everyone’s heads off with this in the Community Room.
My life has been worse than horseshit over the past five plus years. I listen to Foo fighters and I smile. I just want to meet Dave someday.
I did...and Taylor..after a Foos gig here...they were cool....Another time,I talked to Taylor on the phone at his hotel here.....I asked if he collected vintage drums/cymbals...He said no.....
@@blairholben6297 yeah a couple my friends got backstage at a Foo fighters show they ended up on the bus drinking with pat smear

This is so beautifully, colorfully put. Thank you.
Honestly one of their best songs, and it’s even better live, especially with that extended bridge/breakdown!
Thank you, Taylor.
First time seeing this video and hearing this song. Just when I think I can’t love these guys more than I already do, I see another performance and the love is even stronger. RIP Taylor.❤️🥁
Nate Mendel, what an underrated bassist!
How gorgeous is Dave's 335. Man.... I wish I could afford one. :(
Robert Slimman most celebs and rockstars get given a lot of their gear......that’s what grates me!
MegaRockstar48 . This is a Gibson 335 Trini Lopez . It’s Daves go to Guitar . He shops at Norman’s Rare Guitars
In Tarzana . Chris Favours Strat and Les Pauls . Pat seems to have the biggest selection .
@@malcevans5762 Actually Chris plays his Sig. Tele Deluxe. I've never seen him play a strat. Strats suck anyway.
It's more than just a custom 335.its a trini Lopez making it worth around 5 grand
Honestly I wish I could have a Dave Grohl 335 and Kurt Cobain mustang/Jaguar
this has to be one of the best tv concerts ever played
Man, this absolutely rips, I remember in Slane 2003 they did the long version of this. Totally forgot how good it is! RIP T, you absolutely sent it x
What an unbelievable talent everyone in this band has. Absolutely incredible
Best foo song. Has always and always will be my favorite. Rip taylor hawkins.
this was an amazing performance! I love how after the drummers solo at 4:00 he breaks into a drumbeat that reminds me of the band taking us on a sonic train ride that picks up speed thereafter....
sadly the drummer died yesterday...just about everyone knew his name
Can’t believe we’ll never have those lovely exchanges between Dave and Taylor on stage … “Love you, Taylor” “Love ya, buddy!” 😢
What a badass song, done absolute justice live here.
Rest in peace one of my favourite drummers of all times. There will be no another 'Taylor Hawkins'. Sleep well bro!
Seen the Foos a couple times live now, always a great, energetic show.
Every few months, I come back and watch this one again. Great song and this performance in particular is so freaking good. That interlude at around 4:10 gives me big QOTSA vibes. And Taylor shines on the drums.
Really energetic performance by one of my favorite bands of all time!
Thanks for the music Taylor.😢
One of a few true rock bands around these days... one of the greatest
This song is great, but I didn’t know it would be like a million times better live. Fantastic.
Doesn't get played enough this song. Underrated album too
I never was an Foo Fighters Fan and I think i will never be. But i love this Song as hell and especially this Version. He has forever a Place in my personell Top 100 List of the best Songs of all Times. Thank you, FF
I wouldn't give a shit if it was letterman or not. I'd be losing my shit at the front. What. A. Riff. Foos are awesome.

7:47 to 8:01 shows perfectly how in sync Taylor and Dave were. That was so simple but incredible haha.
This should have waaaaay more views
I want a studio version of this. It's so awesome.
Well Lucas It's from their third album "There's Nothing Left to Lose". The studio version doesn't have the solos and is shorter.
I got a surprise for you

THE best band in the world !!!
Thank you TH!! R.I.P.
I watch this video way too much
hahaha Hell yeah.
Sarah Closs ditto that...good tune
You are not alone in that fact.
Good choice
It's a masterpiece... I have been listening to this for years
best band ever. Can not wait for the new album.

i realized just recently how good this song is.
Best performance of Stacked Actors.
Sensational music! Incredible performance!
Still my all time favourite performance of the Foo's! Jams, timing, it has it all!
“Longest drum roll ever 🤷” 😆 Man, I already miss Taylor and Dave’s on-stage shenanigans so much 😔
Now we cry when they all die blonde... :(
I think the realisation that it will never be the same is the hardest thing to accept 😟
These are beautiful men playing beautiful music. Unless you have been in a band you will never know how hard and how hard it is to get those stops tight. Hours of practice and patience.
This might be my favorite foo fighters song yet
Chris Shiflett just shreds it in a couple of brief moment of brilliance....perfect compliment to band!
Can we rename this song "Eargasm"? Cause every time I listen to this particular version, liquid seems to flow from my ears...
🤣🤣🤣 YES SIR
man, taylor we are so gonna miss you. awesome..
these guys have so much fun every single time they play makes me wanna join the band!
This is one of my favorite foo fighters songs after exhausted.
I love the crowd, they have no idea what to do with this. Its great!
The best performance of Stacked Actors EVER!
I still come back to this performance daily. Can't imagine how cool it would be to be in that audience.
Possibly the greatest break (2:58) in the middle of a rock song ever. Check out the studio version too, although this is a great live version and they hardly ever play it live anymore.
R.I.P. Taylor ✨🤘✨
pat absolutely killing the solo
dont know why people say he messes it up its awesome
Awesome Performance..!!
3:44 only time I have heard Nate not drowned out by guitar... ever.
this song has be stuck in my head since yesterday and it won't leave
How come I have never seen this before! I never thought they performed this on TV ever, one of my favorite Foo songs
I love playing this song on guitar along with them. Sounds so bad ass tuned down that low.
Damn, how smooth is this performance? Anyone 2019?
What a freaking gem 💎
very underrated song
