@@Triattt "Did you know White Limo is about Kurt? Did you realize that when you were writing that song? I'm 100% sure that Lemmy was a reference to Kurt Cobain, the guy from Nirvana." "What"
Most people think everything Dave does has to be about Kurt Cobain. Smh. Everything about Kurt Cobain is something that should be outgrown when you're 27 and over.
I love Dave. He’s one of the very very best. Seeing the Foo Fighters live was one of the best times of my life. They played for almost 3 hours and freaking crushed it.
I saw them 3 weeks ago and it was amazing. One of the best shows I have ever been to, and I have been going to live shows for 45 years😓 When Stevie Nicks cancelled her festival spot, and they announced FF would be filling in I immediately bought a ticket. It was hard to stand there for hours to be up front for FF (I am not the same girl I was at 15...) but I channeled my inner 'general admission always in the front of the pit self'.....
I just saw him on Car Karaoke and it is amazing how he still put 100% into singing as if he were singing at a concert. And then him introducing us to Nandi just made me love him even more. 😍
Me too. After the earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, The Foo Fighters came over and did charity shows with all money going to Christchurch. Amazing concert. Amazing guy.
@@jrwheeler81 I'm reading this comment in April of 2022 and feeling so heartbroken that your concert will never happen in July. The world is just GUTTED at we are grieving the death of Taylor. 😢 How does the band move on from something like this? I hope they will but totally understand if it's just too painful! #RIPTAYLOR
I love how he looks at her as she gives her interpretation of the lyrics to learn to "Learn to Fly" and quickly says in so many words nope it's not that deep!😂😂😂😂
Dave Grohl may be my all time favorite rock star. If only they were all such regular people who truly understand how fortunate they've been. That's a guy I would love to have a beer with.
@@Sarah-lj1fy jelous of what??? Kelly is a cheerleader, she only cheers, or does empty questions to her guests. Dave is a trully musician. He plays the guitar and drums, sings and is a composer, this interview is nothing but empty, shallow and plastic, he is too valuable to be on dumb interviews
My favorite Dave lyric by far is "Hook me up a new revolution, 'cause this one is a lie. We sat around laughing and watched the last one die..." The visual of him, Taylor and Nate sitting on a couch is so there in my mind and isn't that how so many revolutionary ideas go out of fashion?
That’s one of the best things about music! It’s about how each person CAN interpret it in a different way that means something to them, even if that’s not the way someone “intended” it to sound. Music is the ultimate form of magic and it’s meant for EVERYONE to ENJOY in some way or another! Dave Grohl has always carried the torch in the “Hope music” category. Love this man!!! ❤️
I love it. The lack of pretense is great. It drives me nuts when artits refuse to go into the meaning behind their work. I think many are insecure, dave is just like fuck it, this lyric was about me wanting to learn to fly. Knowing the truth does not subtract from the meaning from others. I wish more artists would take note.
I lost my 29yr old son who was a pilot 4 yrs ago in a plane crash. He was a MASSIVE FF fan and this song was one of his funeral songs and is on his headstone. To him, Dave Grohl was his idol. I wish he could be here with me to go to the FF concert in 2024 in NZ.
All I know is that Louise Post(from Chicago band Veruca Salt) is singing the backup on Everlong. I've heard that vocal in isolation. No mistaking her voice.
3:30 This reminds me of "What the author meant vs What your English teacher thinks the author meant": For instance: “The curtains were blue.” What your teacher thinks: “The curtains represent his immense depression and his lack of will to carry on.” What the author meant: “The curtains were fucking blue!”
This was so fun, I get you my husband a singer, and song writer, just not known. You heal yourself and others music really makes a difference, love you and Dave's, music abilities 🤗❤
I love Dave, and Foo Fighters! I saw them live. They are my second best live shows ever. Second only to Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody tour. I have very, very few celebrities who I would like to meet/ hang out with. Dave, and Kelly happen to be on that short list. Snoop Dog, is one of the others.
Total BLISS seeing you & Dave bounce thoughts...energy...laughter&unity-all thru music....the language of the Gods! Thanks for sharing&having him as a guest!!🤩😍
Grohl: (Everlong) I was in love Howard Stern: of the idea to play with Kurt Cobain one more time right? Grohl: (Learn to fly) I just wanted to be a pilot Howard Stern: to see if you could find Cobain in the sky?
"wait there's math involved??" story of my life lol I think I just felt a spark for Dave Grohl. I also gotta say that if I were a well known musician that had fans approach and ask what the lyrics mean i would genuinely ask them what they mean to them. that will be the answer.
2:18 yes, that's the meaning of music, like a painting and every artworks, is giving you emotions but you interpret it as you want! Is all about the music first, love you Dave!! rip Kurt! Long live music
I was never a Nirvana fan, not that much into the Foo Fighters either, but wow, Dave is such a genuinely nice guy, I will be getting his book on Audible when my next credit rolls in. Been really enjoying the interviews TH-cam keeps spitting out at me, and seeing the very young and extremely talented Nandi Bushell join them on stage made me cry such happy tears. Hmmm... maybe he's slowly converting me to his music. ;)
I always thought “make my way back home when I learn to fly” was about learning to understand yourself (your “home” that you’re going back to once you learn how to know yourself). Nope. It’s just about a fear of trigonometry. 😂
Never heard of Dave till just a few weeks ago. Stumbled across him in a utube about singers coming to the rescue of their fans. Thought he was cute and cool. Started checking out their music on utube. What a great guy. Good utube.
"Learn to Fly" is my all time favorite. For me, it means finding yourself & taking the leap of doing what I truly love in life for a living. You gotta sometimes go back home to where you started & start again. Just breaking free from the slave driving corporations to going off on my own as a floral designer & cutflower urban gardener. 🌼💥🌼
I hate how some people, mostly famous people try to dig in too deep on certain things. Kind of takes away the imagination of what you think they mean. Just chill and admire it.
She (who Dave speaks of) is Louise Post of Veruca Salt. She did sing in the chorus of the song Everlong but it was either buried in the song or omitted.
And her backing vocals were done over a phone call, not in to a professional studio mic, or in a studio at all. You can’t hear them too well in the song, but if you listen the “vocals only” of Everlong, you can hear voice clearer and the quality is shit because it was sang in to a phone lol
„I don’t wanna burst your bubble…“ more like „I’m not gonna be talking about this with you!“ The song is about coming out of a bad period in live. To fight through and to learn to live on the way. To not just swimming on the surface, but rather learn to surfing the waves of live. He can downplay as he wants to. Some songs just doesn’t work anymore if u nail it down to one interpretation. And I’m pretty sure that’s why he avoided a deeper answer. I think it’s possible that actually learning to fly was his inspiration for the song, but it turned out otherwise. If you don’t know it, I recommend „mantra“ from sound city. The theme is very similar. He wants to provide help. He likes to do that. As he said here „music is for healing“. I wouldn’t agree fully with that, but his work is welcome in my regards. Love foos music and Dave’s attitude.
Definitely sounds like more than just learning to become a pilot… “I'm lookin' to the sky to save me Lookin' for a sign of life Lookin' for somethin' to help me burn out bright”
Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on that answer, too. That's a Kurt Cobain move, he pulled. "It doesn't mean anything. It's not that deep, man. I write it just before I go in to record most of the time because I'm lazy." When the truth is that Kurt had piles of notebooks of writing and poetry and is recorded on tape, admitting that he kind of blows off those questions because he hates journalists and doesn't think everyone deserves to demand his private thoughts. Grohl does the same thing. We have him in documentaries doing last minute lyrics and we also have him super grim and upset after singing "I Should Have Known." He uses his party guy persona to deflect a lot.
@@KylieIsOverIt absolutely angry through grief…. If anything that scene would be the closest we will ever see how much effect suicide of a friend had on him… so underated that song…
Realistically it's probably both. Most likely Dave first got the idea of writing the song about wanting to be a pilot, but then did the poetry thing and imbued some of the lines with deeper meanings, but ultimately it's mainly about flying a plane.
@@bradleymaravalli2851 the scene is from the Foos documentary “ Back and Forth”…. Dave is filmed recording the very last scream in “ I should have Known”
He doesn't mention her by name but when he wrote everlong, he was dating Louise Post from the (amazing) band Veruca Salt. During the recording They had Loise call into the studio phone and they recorded her singing backing vocals on the chorus and put those in the actual track. They are just super hard to notice. If you have a hard time picking them out, search "Everlong isolated vocals" you can listen to the song with just the vocals and you'll easily notice after that. Just a little fun fact that adds some more context to "One of the things I loved most about this person is when we would sing together"
100% on everyone singing along..but we all feel the lyrics differently..that is why i love music. And..I love Dave ❤️😁..and miss Kelly I adore you...I'm throwing it out.."thanks to you, now I get what I want..." kind of my guilty pleasure girls rock mantra..oi!!! 🌈😳😘
Dave often plays down the meaning in his lyrics to keep the moment light. In other more intimate, less circus-like interviews he talks about his lyrics and will say what they’re about. Foo Fighters songs cover the subjects of breakups, the passing away of friends, revelations about abusive relationships, and transformative journeys. I doubt that any of their songs are about Kurt, but there’s no doubt Kurt’s suicide and the end of Nirvana contributed to the overall emphasis on loss and anger in Dave’s lyrics, and occasionally Dave will say it himself.
The sound of silence by Paul Simon was about sitting in the family bathroom in the dark (great acoustics), "hello darkness my old friend" But how many of us read other things into it. "Ricky dont lose that number" Steely Dan, not about splitting up with a girlfriend but about the guitarist leaving the band!
Dave: I wanted to become a pilot

Sad they didn’t talk about “All my life”
Lol. I was looking for this comment. If you know, you know! :)
Ummm…. Dave “ that’s a dirty song, use your imagination!!”
Dave is amazing, but I give Kelly kudos for such an awesome interview that was so introspective from two artists.
I just got his book amazing.
I've never seen Dave seem so uncomfortable (or annoyed)...not sure what was going on here.
Yeah, he does not look as confortable as in other interviews
