I've always appreciated Foo Fighters - not only for their great music but for their sense of humour and ability to just have fun in the moment and not take themselves too seriously. This is next level. I couldn't love this band more for doing something like this and I suspect anyone who hates it, they would just give you the middle finger and laugh as a response.
@@BaronOfDaker - OK, it's the exact same lyrics and music, but because Ghrol is singing it makes it no longer a Bee Gee's song? Great reasoning! I wanna "borrow" your car one day so then I can automatically take ownership. 🙄
Fuck the fuck off. Music is music. If you're this defensive about disco then show us what you've done. Until I read a dissertation on the Bee Gees and what they did for humanity I will enjoy stuff like this.
Apparently disco has always had an influence on Dave Grohl (and why the hell not!!). In an interview with Pharrell Williams, Grohl says: “If you listen to Nevermind ... I pulled so much stuff from the Gap Band and Cameo and Tony Thompson [of the band Chic] on every one of those songs.” I love Dave Grohl. He's one of the good guys in life.
Oh man, as someone who has sang karaoke for 20+ years, I am all too familiar with the feeling of Bitch Throat™ that occurs with even the slightest doubt that the audience is 100% into something. Props to Dave for toughing it out, he definitely seemed to bring it back in the last minute unless somebody else took over at some point.
this is Fun... The Bee Gees were great, and their songs, no matter the style, are so strong. Pulling off a strong male falsetto is really tough, and Barry Gibb developed a great one
I have loved The Bee Gees since 72, the Foo Fighters since their incarnation in the 90’s. I need to see the Foo Fighters again as I have only seen them once and it was Phe-nom-O-nal!! Love The Bee Gees and Dave has given me the Dee Gees with a tribute album cover to my favorite Bee Gees album ‘Main Course’, thank you Dave- for being you, for the music and for being outside the box!
I've been fortunate to see some really good bands live in my life. Dave growl as a front man and song writer is up there with the best, he engages with his crowd and actually plays for them. Any band playing a stadium must be good but to be great takes something extra. In my opinion both The Foos and the Bee Gees had that something.
It’s not an exact duplicate - so! Dave is awe inspiring, you listen to him and you can take on the world. He doesn’t lock himself in a one sided musical box. He’s original, you say he doesn’t have what it takes- but are you a Bee Gees fan? Most people wouldn’t admit to it before this year- I’ve never stopped being a fan of the Gibb family. They’ve been rulers of my musical world for decades. They didn’t disappear so neither did I.
I'm not sure which is more surprising: A) the revelation that the drum part of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was basically borrowed from The Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb on Me", or B) that only Dave Grohl could go from Nirvana to Foo Fighters to Queens of The Stone Age and half a dozen other joint projects... and then sell out venues with a Bee Gees cover band! I'm beginning to wonder if that role in "Pick of Destiny" wasn't actually some sort of type casting... BTW, Dave, in the event you might be reading this... I may be doing my first studio recording soon, and you've made me think of doing some of my old Bee Gees favorites, most of which were during their pre-disco days - "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" and "Words" are the songs I always felt a deep connection to. While I can only wish, it would be an honor to record with you.
Oh man this is awesome, I grew up listening to the Bee Gees with my mom, and disco music in general. It's up beat, fun, and who better than the Foo Fighters to do this!! The world is in a weird place right now, and this is what we need to get through it!! Thank you Foo Fighters!!!!
depends on what era of the band you are covering. I played in a cover band that used to do "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", "Massachusetts" and "Mr Natural", and those weren't too hard to do. And they sure are fun to play!
Wow, don't take is so seriously! So they covered a Bee Gees song and had fun with it.....big deal. I doubt Pat Smear has lost his "punk" sensibilities and gives a rats ass. I guess haters will always be haters.
@@thevoid99 listen to “love so right” from the “here at last” 76 tour and you’ll hear all three scatting towards the end. It’s an amazing bit of vocal gymnastics. Even Stayin Alive from their 79 tour has all three “screaming in harmony” ...... in later live performances the twins dropped the falsetto.
It's funny.. I like it for sure, but I have to wonder how Pat Smear feels up on stage playing Bee Gees tunes given that when this track was originally topping the charts, he was forming The Germs (which is a pretty extreme rejection of the disco aesthetic..)
People grow and some musicians just love music so much as they grow they even come to embrace the things the once rejected because they can finally take themselves out of the equation and just see the music.
@@___chad_____ pretty sure Strummer later expressed great admiration for the Beatles and acknowledged their greatness. Basically young people say things for attention in the entertainment business.
Love both the Foo Fighters and Beegees, and wanted to love this but not impressed yet. Maybe just didn't come across well live. I still support artists doing their own thing though and people DEFINITELY shouldn't be trashing them for this.
Can’t touch the Bee Gees. Sorry. I love the Foo Fighters but let this go. Nobody can hit the notes Barry could along with Robin and Maurice. Just being honest. The studio version of this song by the Foo is better obviously but the Bee Gees could do it live without help. Just how it is.
For so long, disco has been shit on and effectively killed pop-wise by the term "disco sucks." Of course, it backfired when it went back to the underground and partly resurfaced as house, bit that's another story. I'm glad Dave grohl decided to do this. First of all, he has nothing to lose and second, he's standing against a community that still hates disco. Good job
I love it! Its just the kind of upbeat thing we all need now while this Covid thing is happening. It brighten my day. Great Bee Gees song and really well done by the Fooies...
I wonder if Dave realizes that "you should be dancing" is better than 99% of his own material? It's like Elon Musk buying an Audi e-tron and displaying it in his showroom.
Ouch! That hurt my ears. I think they need to find their way to sing the Bee Gees songs in their own way rather than trying to emulate them. That's not gonna work. I've only heard one dude singing like the Bee Gees... Randy Berlin. But again, every artist should be doing their own thing instead of trying to be like someone else. Lots of fun though. Peace
Foo Fighters are great, but this sounds awful! It is great that they want to cover the legendary Bee Gees, but Foo Fighters should make their own versions of the songs in ways which fit their voices.
It’s funny how upset people are with this, it’s just some disco fun, plus Dave can do whatever the fuck he wants lol
Gosh people dont know how to have fun or sense of humor these days
Damn right he can! This is just plain fun.
@@lillihopper appropriation?!!! wtf does it even mean?
Not upset. Just disappointed. This is pretty bad.
Personally I think its awesomeness

Bee Gees songs have real guts and drive. It’s not just the Vocals, the arrangements are a lot stronger than most give them credit for.
Foos are one of my favourite bands but I'm inclined to agree, this is a Bee Gees song, this doesn't sound quite right
@@IrfanButt It's not a Bee Gees song, it's a Dee Gees song. It's meant to be fun.

Looks like a good time!

I thought if that interview too!
Is it good? I don't know. Are they having fun? Hell yeah. And that's what being in a band should be about.
Awwwww, you’re just a cupcake.
100%. Even though I didn't really like it, I'm still glad they're doing it!!🤘
Not good but it's fun for sure😎

It's like watching the sweariest wedding band ever.
Barry Gibb's falsetto is unmatched. One of the greatest, glad Dave recognized
Unmatched indeed.
this is Fun... The Bee Gees were great, and their songs, no matter the style, are so strong. Pulling off a strong male falsetto is really tough, and Barry Gibb developed a great one
I love Dave, but give up singing the falsetto.
The Bee Gees are untouchable, but good for them to take this great song out for a spin..
WANT THIS DEE GEES ALBUM - NOW!!!!!
They were having so much fun here and it was a joy to watch! I was down on the floor and everyone was going crazy! What a night!
The Foo Fighters have given us such great music! Let him live out his fantasy! His got guts. You go, Dave! He probably sings this in the shower!!!
um....you mean there are people who DON'T??

Glad The Bee Gees are finally getting the love and respect they have always deserved. Two bad the twins are not here to hear it.
Don't have it to sing Bee Gees

Dave says most of the drum patterns on Nevermind were inspired by Disco.
My new favorite FF cover. Dave is a music lover....rock on!!
Dave, Dave, Dave fun but you sir are no Barry.
Exactly
And Barry isn't Dave🙄... They are both very talented musician's and I enjoy both of them
@@brittanyspears4925 ok and dave cant sing this
@@squidgable6674 It was painful.

I feel like getting Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters would have been perfect for this.
I want to like it, but let's face it: the Bee Gees are an awfully damned hard act to follow.
They're not mocking them.
Of course they're not--if anything, it's a tribute. Just not a very good one.
I just find Dave's voice isn't a great fit for the music. I still love the hell out of both bands and support him doing what he wants!
Agree on all counts!
Come on, it's just Dave having fun with his friends, if he want to sing naked or if he want to sing kpop, he can do it because he's a legend
Do Not Try This at Home
Ah, after a 15 pandemics months in NYC, FOMO is back!!!
They should invite Barry Bibb to sing as they back him up.
I definitely agree
Some English band did that at Glastonbury a couple of years back and the crowd went off.
I agree...

Badass, if you play in a band try to cover a BeeGees song, if you don’t, it’s not easy; might not be your cup of tea, but good god we need something.
depends on what era of the band you are covering. I played in a cover band that used to do "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", "Massachusetts" and "Mr Natural", and those weren't too hard to do. And they sure are fun to play!
A nice gesture, but I didn't think Dave could sing it properly. Unfortunately, I was right.

Dave Grohl is one of the coolest dudes on the planet.
Amazing bass line, like a great Marice Gibb....Thanks Foo DEE GEES Fighters thaks from Brazil.
I'd love to see them perform "Fannie be Tender"
Yeah, let see them do that one. I still like it, though.
Even the Bee Gees couldn't pull it off live, or so I've heard. Maurice said getting the harmonies right is brutal, and I believed him.
"tragedy" but with NIN.

That's one of my favorites! But I bet they COULD pull off "Boogie Child," imo an underrated BeeGees song - and one of their funkiest.
It's funny.. I like it for sure, but I have to wonder how Pat Smear feels up on stage playing Bee Gees tunes given that when this track was originally topping the charts, he was forming The Germs (which is a pretty extreme rejection of the disco aesthetic..)
And the Clash railed against the Beatles. It happens.

In the latest bee gees documentary (2020), even John Lydon is shown in one scene giving props to the guys in the band…
I can't tell if he is off his meds or, you know, back on them.
The Bee Gees have the smoothest harmonies in the game . Untouchable IMHO , Great to see FF mixing it up .
What's next? "I've got friends in low places" by Darth Grooks. HA HA
Karaoke Dave
Live At MSG! Was 🤪 left of the stage Dancing my As* off I had a Blast!! The energy was Fantastic!!
thank you Dave and foo fighters! love this!
Very nice cover.. Can't wait to find the album..
Only the Bee Gees can hit the vocals like they do. Can't repeat them live.
Love both the Foo Fighters and Beegees, and wanted to love this but not impressed yet. Maybe just didn't come across well live. I still support artists doing their own thing though and people DEFINITELY shouldn't be trashing them for this.
No Class
No Bee Gees voice equals no Bee Gees.
Nirvana were quite good though weren't they
Vocally this is one of the worst things I've ever felt, and I mean felt cuz my eardrums are creaking.
This didnt work really work. But dig FF nonetheless
The Foo Fighters have never taken themselves to seriously and there in lies what makes them so special.
Very fun. But damn those vocals need some work lol. I’m sure they knew that and were just having fun regardless.
Dave just needs to tighten his pants a bit more and he'll nail it.
I imagine they made the mistake of doing this late in the set when Dave's voice was worn out. Or maybe too early when he wasn't warmed up enough. :)
It does sound different from their recorded stuff of the Dee Gees.I'm down with gettin' their vinyl though! ❤
Can’t touch the Bee Gees. Sorry. I love the Foo Fighters but let this go. Nobody can hit the notes Barry could along with Robin and Maurice. Just being honest. The studio version of this song by the Foo is better obviously but the Bee Gees could do it live without help. Just how it is.

Wtf?
What a load of Crap , but I still like them .
.
The way to top this is to have Barry do a walk-on with these guys. BTW, I wonder how "hey motherfuckers" the Bee Gees dropped on their audiences.
When I heard them play this at sound check I was surprised how good it sounded. Sounded even better with the live croud.
Studio recording does justice but why would they release this live track? ouch...
We all need this right now, thank you.
The fucking Beejees? At least cover funkadelic or the meters FFS.
The mo’fn Dee Gees! You know you’ve turned the corner when you’ve become a tribute band of Dave Grohl and the foo fighters!
This is AWESOME!!!!
I love it! Its just the kind of upbeat thing we all need now while this Covid thing is happening. It brighten my day. Great Bee Gees song and really well done by the Fooies...
Really?
They could do Warm Ride. Bee Gees wrote it and Graham Bonnet performed it.
I love it!
This is insanely FANTASTIC!!!
The music is great, but Dave doesn't have what it takes. That being said, it was fun and they had a great time with it.
I was expecting a more Foo Fightesque vibe added to the covers but can't wait to check it out on studio recordings.
Ayy
Dave Grohl looks like a younger Barry Gibb now.
They're amazing, for that reason, they can do whatever they want!!!
I had to turn it off - couldn't take it anymore.
I wonder if Dave realizes that "you should be dancing" is better than 99% of his own material? It's like Elon Musk buying an Audi e-tron and displaying it in his showroom.
Admit it, if you followed Nirvana from the beginning you always knew Dave would end up this way.
Fuck nirvana
Dave and the guys just have so much fun 👏 ❤
It’s so bad that it’s… still bad😂 Good on them.
Haha Dave Wayne Osmond sang this song?

yes
It is good to hear something new... I mean something old. I'm having fun but I'm not going to be a Disco stu... Just because of them.
He's just havin a little fun. These comments shredded him to pieces. Jeesh 🤷♂️
No, even with the Foo Fighters, this song is irritating crap. And the falsetto.
I think they should've had a Disco ball come down for this. Unless there was one and I didn't see it.
