      A good role model isn’t he. Fame in the 80s, didn’t get too big for his boots and stayed doing what he loves fame or not. Then rode the meme with perfection really and used it to further continue what he loves with a ton of new fans. The best marketers and PR teams couldn’t have done it better since there was no rule book for what to do when you’re a massive meme. (Just don’t do what Streisand did).

      I bet he can play pretty well but this song is legit a beginners song if you learn the acoustic it can easily be someone’s first song. But his barre chords look smooth he clearly plays at least at an intermediate-preforming level though his strumming pattern was off.

    I would love to hear him do more Foo Fighters covers, we all know he and Dave Grohl are buddies, so I'm sure Dave approved of this wholeheartedly.

    • @roguishpaladin
      @roguishpaladin ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Wait, who called him a one-hit wonder? He has two #1 hits, the other being "Together Forever" (and yes,, it also got a ton of radio play back in the day), and three other songs that ended up in the top 10 (going by Us charts, and arguably he did better in other countries too). Crazy thing is, he probably could have been even more successful - he had a bunch of recordings for his second album destroyed in a fire, and he chose to slow down his career for family reasons in 1994. There's no doubt in my mind he could've charted well in a year like 1996 or 1997 if he truly had focused on maintaining his momentum.
