@@cliffphps7447 dave grohl does the best version of in bloom, because the demo version of in bloom was played by another drummer before dave in nirvana
Dave's work as a drummer in QOTSA and "Them Crooked Voltures" is the best of his long career. It is evident that there has been a great maturation that was not there yet in the Nirvana period. The record "Songs For The Deaf" in my opinion remains the jewel in his crown.
We also need to take into consideration... For most of his career now, he's not been the drummer in the band! Can you imagine his progression if he'd never moved into the front man, guitarist, song writer role!?
One of the most underrated singers of the generation. Did amazing work with Screaming trees, Mad River and many others. Loved his cover of Nutshell!!! Look it up!!!
I covered this song in college for my final term project. It was one of the most difficult things at gratifying things I’ve ever done. Queens became my favorite band at that time and they still are nearly 20 yrs later.
I was there. Seeing Dave Drohl play drums for QOTSA is one of the highlights of my life as a musician and a gig goer. He was a joyous blur of arms and thunder. Fucking incredible he was. I’ve not seen them since because this cannot be topped.
Dave Grohl is probably my favourite all-time rock drummer. And this album (Songs for the Deaf) is probably my favourite all-time rock album. The drumming throughout is fantastic.
Can confirm, after attempting to learn even just the intro to this song, Dave Grohl drum parts are not easy. You are 100% correct. No, they are not complicated licks/chops, but to play it clean, with feel, with that hi-hat going, at that tempo...sweating.
Grohl played with QOTSA (Queens Of The Stone Age) a lot, also teamed up with guitarist/genius Josh Homme in the band Them Crooked Vultures. Everything Josh Homme touches is 100% authentic Rock. He played with Kyuss, started QOTSA and Them Crooked Vultures, was responsible for The Desert Sessions (up to 12 now), he also helped a friend start The Eagles of Death Metal. Wow.
What I absolutely love about Dave's playing is the intensity. With the exception of Nirvana's Unplugged, whenever he's behind that kit, he beats it like it not only owes him money, but also like it offended his mum. An absolute delight to watch every time.
I don't think it's possible to describe Dave's drumming with words! As you say, he is not very technical, but the feel is incredible. I always get excited watching him drumming and I never get tired of it!
If I didn't have so many bills, I was gonna do a PayPal for either this or a song from Them Crooked Vultures, same singer/guitar player as Queens and bass player from Led Zeppelin
Love Queens of the stone age! The singer Mark Lanergan just passed away awhile ago. He's great. Bassist Nick Oliveri plays in a stoner band with Brant Bjork now. Anything Josh Homme is involved in is good. Josh played with Dave and John Paul Jones in the band Them Crooked Vultures. Good stuff. Thanks Andrew.
Queens of the Stone Age are a kick ass band period. Grohl and Homme are musical brothers. This performance is awesome and is a real intro to future performances with Them Crooked Vultures, which Homme and Grohl are joined with John Paul Jones. Dave’s drumming with TCV is some of the most enjoyable rock drumming of the last 20 years
@@AndrewRooneyDrumsif you didn't know (maybe you've listened by now) but the band has John Paul Jones in it (it's him, grohl, and homme the red headed guitarist here)
I was too! We were right at the side and couldn't see Dave. Only found out he was playing drums later on. He definitely looks like he's chemically enhanced in this clip!
I’m glad other people recognize this as something special. This is a stellar performance all around. It has so much power and weight. This is a band at the height of its powers.
Dave is laying into that kit with a violence that actually brings tears to my eyes, but despite the intro being fairly complex, he's playing it with consummate ease and enjoying the fuck out of it while he does so. I'm not gonna lie, it took me a whole day (8+ hours) to learn the intro pattern to this song and another week before I could play it passably. Dave is probably the best rock drummer of his generation, and one of the best of all time.
His weight when playing, his ultra personal sound, his brutal way of attacking. Dave could be playing just 1 trick, and still everyone would be watching and listening, that's the beauty of his art ... 💀 🤘 🥁
I grew up with Dave and Kurt. Started playing drums and guitar at 13. Now 37. And it took me awhile to calm down the intensity of my drumming. Started playing with jazz bands and blues rock bands, and had so many "hey there.. maybe work your dynamics a little? WE CAN'T HEAR OUR GUITARS!" LOL. He's my hero. Also one of the best and intense yells.
This is one of the hardest drum tracks of all time. Period. Dave Grhol absolutely murdered this track/performance. I don't know how he didn't bust a skin during this.
Queens of the stone age is where Dave Grohl shines the most for me. He can totally smash and make your jaw drop to the ground, but he also can enhance the song in very subtle way like he did with the song from ...Like Clockwork (incrediblr album btw)
If Dave played the same sizes kit here as he did in Nirvana, the set is probably 24 kick, 15" rack, 18" floor, together with a 22" ride, 18" and 20" crashes and 15" hats. Such an awesome drummer, the sheer power and intensity, biggest inspiration i ever had, drumming-wise. The main reason i still love playing in a Nirvana-tribute after 13 years, it just never gets old.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Such a likeable guy as well. Have you seen Studio 666 yet? Dave made a horrormovie together with the rest of Foo Fighters and it is absolutely brilliant. So much fun. It will never win any oscars, but three words: decapitation by cymbal.
He ended up playing on that Killing joke album after KJ won a lawsuit over Nirvana stealing some riffs from them, to settle Dave agreed to play drums with them.
Playing with a great feeling drummer, especially when playing bass, makes every song a joy. On the other hand drummer with bad feel can make a favorite song into a complete slog
He started teaching himself at home as a kid using 2 pens on a beanbag before he got himself a drum kit, amazing guy. Also one of my heroes. I'd love to sit and smash a few Jacks and coke with him and talk music. Good stuff Andrew! Loving your channel Cheers Harro 😁🤘
the real highlight takes place not long after the solo - watch for Josh and Nick's reaction, but especially Josh - he does a double take and smiles like a little boy as he goes back to the mic... he's like "ok so that's what "11" feels like"
and to play guitar and write songs just as good as his drumming… phenomenal…. and the fact that he spends hours hookin up the crowd with some great bbq.. what can’t he do.. and he’s humble about it.. cool dude
Nirvana is probably my favorite band and i always loved Ghrol’s drumming especially in Nevermind, but man in Songs for the Deaf he really shines in a unique way. Definitely my fav drummer
i have always respected Dave for playing the drums like they should be played. He plays them so fucking hard that every hit is a hit is something you HAVE to pay attention to. It is so interesting to watch him play because sometimes he is like a metronome. Like a machine and other times he plays like an organic creature just feeling the music and grooving so hard that you can`t help but be lost in it.
i love this queens of the stone age time, they'd had a bad time recording an album, they all took a break from each other and dave went off and did this and had fun. taylor kind of resented it, but when they got back together and re-recorded the album it was awesome.
Saw iggy pop a few years ago band was so crazy good. Josh Homme was the band leader and they killed it. Seen hundreds of shows over last 50 years and was super impressed
I keep coming back to this video because, well, Dave Grohl.......Obvs.....But also for Mr Rooney's 'fanboi' reaction. Its awesome to see a drummer truly appreciating another drummer's work. I was a drummer too (pre emphysema) and I totally get it.
Due to space I have not played drums in a long time, but I still have an appreciation of them. I am by no means a professional, but I enjoy hearing your opinion. Drums are the driving force behind a band, absolutely essential. In the 30 or so years since I gave up on drums and went to guitar, I still think a bit like a drummer. Keep it up, Andrew.
Hi Andrew, I was driving down the street after work and was listening to Bad Religion. The song "Anasthesia" came on and I was so digging the drums that I thought of you. I've been a fan and subscriber for YEARS!. I've made several requests over the years and I haven't seen you react to any of them, but this is another one that I think you would enjoy and introduce you to another band you haven't reacted to yet. Hope you're interested. I truly believe you would be impressed, especially with the last minute of this short song. Thanks Andrew. Peace!
8:30 'I have to do a cover of this." Hope you still feel the same after hearing the double-time sections and that mad triplet groove at the end? I'd love to hear it!
Not to mention that the final drum lead into this song is an homage to the legendary drummer Bill Stevenson of Black Flag /Descendents from the Black Flag song "Slip It In"...
That whole album 'songs for the deaf' is a great drum album, Dave Grohl executed it brilliantly, even after 20 years I'm still learning from it, the rolling triplets at the end of 'song for the dead' are powerful, goes up a gear when he chuck's in the snare flams aswell, superb stuff.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I have to say that mind eraser no chaser by them crooked vultures is peak grohl. Monster sound and the exchange of vocals with josh homme is 👏
hello Andrew and thanks for all your passion for drumming and drummers world wide. One drummer who is closest to my heart is John Wright from Nomeansno,i have had the pleasure of seeing John play live many times and talked with him,he is a realy nice guy as well. it would be great if you could take a look at some videos of him in the future. below is a couple of videos: Nomeansno, ghost of time, live 2012 A38 rocks Nomeansno ,obsessed,live 2012 A38 rocks Greetings from Norway
Okay dude if you really dig that, you need to have a looksey, listensey, to another Dave Grohl / Josh Homme project. "Them Crooked Vultures" featuring John Paul Jones on bass adds to the overall kick-ass-ness. I would provide a link but any track or performance will do. "Elephants" is my personal fave. Enjoy, and you're welcome! P.S. Josh is the real genius behind all this. Dave is lucky to be a part of it. I know he is genius in his own right, Foo Fighters, etc. You are a drum enthusiast and I get it, but all must bow down to Josh. Everything he does is incred!
Has nothing to do with that. It has to do that the room they were in was too small to set up the kit properly so he recorded cymbals and drums in different takes
Been playing guitar 17 years, bass for about half that, singing the whole time too. I'm about a week into learning drums with the goal of at least attempting to play through this whole album someday. It's fair to say this performance is what really lit a fire under me to pick up drums and make it happen. One of my favorite bands of all time, #1 on most days 🤘
This was great. So many people take Dave Grohl for granted. This song never got radio play, but QOTSA fans know and love it. Especially with how killer those drums are. It has been a set closer many times, and it’s actually rare for a QOTSA show to not include it. QOTSA’s current drummer is Jon Theodore. He’s pretty great as well 😁
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Theodore is the drummer on the first 3 Mars Volta albums, imo just about the most creative modern drum work around If you're listening to Mars Volta and Them Crooked Vultures for the first time soon then you're in for a treat
Song for the dead has turned my whole perception of what rock music is upside down. That was an overload for my tiny teenage brain in 2002, so even without the airplay, they've managed to f. up many heads with it
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I've seen QOSTA four times since the early days (not with Grohl unfortunately) and the last time with Theodore was the best yet... He's fabulous!

Drums & Coffee!
🥁☕🙌
QueensOTSA are amazing live musicians
This was THE song that made me fall in love with drums.
🙌
Nice 😂 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Phil Collins "in the air tonight" is where I fell in love with drums. Nirvana's "in bloom" is where I became a big fan of Dave grohl.
That's awesome. Coincidentally, the song that inspired the opening drum part (Black Flag - Slip it in), got me into drums. Pretty wild
@@cliffphps7447 dave grohl does the best version of in bloom, because the demo version of in bloom was played by another drummer before dave in nirvana

What an absolute powerhouse musician
Not really. Nirvana just required more simple drumming.
@@chetsenior7253 I agree, but one statement doesn't exclude the other. Nirvana needed a simpler style, but Dave has matured a lot over the years.
Totally agree my favorite QOTSA album
We also need to take into consideration... For most of his career now, he's not been the drummer in the band!
Can you imagine his progression if he'd never moved into the front man, guitarist, song writer role!?
The thing to really talk about here is the vocal ability of Mark Lanegan. Absolute pioneer.
Slammin'
One of the most underrated singers of the generation. Did amazing work with Screaming trees, Mad River and many others. Loved his cover of Nutshell!!! Look it up!!!
@@cpm7414 Screaming Trees are one of my absolute favourites. Dude was a genius.

The whole album is superb. As a Dave Grohl fan you need it in your life.
Yup!
it is but he doesn't play drums on every song.
@@marsman6Gene Trautmann only played on two tracks. 85% of the drums are Dave Grohl
That line up of QOTSA was truly one of the most talented in rock history. All absolute legends.
💯
I was there. Seeing Dave Drohl play drums for QOTSA is one of the highlights of my life as a musician and a gig goer. He was a joyous blur of arms and thunder. Fucking incredible he was. I’ve not seen them since because this cannot be topped.

I’ve never been so jealous in my life
Dave Grohl is probably my favourite all-time rock drummer. And this album (Songs for the Deaf) is probably my favourite all-time rock album. The drumming throughout is fantastic.
Yes Sean.
Absolute inspiration in basically every way

That's what everyone misses.
Playing the notes vs making it feel as bad a** as Grohl is the difficult part
Not complicated? Have you checked the outro for this song? The dude is absolutely transcendent.
Black Flag
Love this song , and Grohls nod to Black Flag’s ‘slip it in’ at the start of the song is awesome !!!
Nerd here, kudos to the producer in a BBC van cutting to the various cameras for this song, he knew his drum cameraman had some top class footage
Grohl played with QOTSA (Queens Of The Stone Age) a lot, also teamed up with guitarist/genius Josh Homme in the band Them Crooked Vultures.
Everything Josh Homme touches is 100% authentic Rock. He played with Kyuss, started QOTSA and Them Crooked Vultures, was responsible for The Desert Sessions (up to 12 now), he also helped a friend start The Eagles of Death Metal. Wow.
Awesome info. 🙏
Worth mentioning the third member of Them Crooked Vultures happens to be John Paul Jones, of Led Zeppelin fame!
What I absolutely love about Dave's playing is the intensity. With the exception of Nirvana's Unplugged, whenever he's behind that kit, he beats it like it not only owes him money, but also like it offended his mum. An absolute delight to watch every time.
@richardharrold9736ikr🤣watching him purposely hold back so he doesn’t obliterate the sticks was so funny
As a non-drummer who appreciates good drumming without knowing the technical aspects or terms it was really fun watching you break this down. Thanks!
Thanks Josh! 🙏
I don't think it's possible to describe Dave's drumming with words! As you say, he is not very technical, but the feel is incredible. I always get excited watching him drumming and I never get tired of it!
Love queens so much, Josh has been exceptional without getting mainstream push. Fantastic
So good
That connection of strings to drums so natural so brutal….the lost art of keeping a dangerous pocket….
👌
The dead air stop in the mid-ish part of the song is PERFECTLY in time when it starts up again. Count it out. It's fucking nuts.
One of the best to ever do it IMO!
If I didn't have so many bills, I was gonna do a PayPal for either this or a song from Them Crooked Vultures, same singer/guitar player as Queens and bass player from Led Zeppelin

He's a phenomenal musician all round.
Improves anything he plays on
Dave is the whole reason I started playing drums. So glad to see he kept his headlights on the road of rock. He’s been a great influence for so many.
If Dave played the same sizes kit here as he did in Nirvana, the set is probably 24 kick, 15" rack, 18" floor, together with a 22" ride, 18" and 20" crashes and 15" hats. Such an awesome drummer, the sheer power and intensity, biggest inspiration i ever had, drumming-wise.

15 rack!!
Absolute beast. Perfect rock drummer

When Rated R came out, I saw QOTSA play in a Towers Records parking lot. Soooo good!
AWESOME Teri!
Analysis is so accurate! He'll of a vid. Cheers 🍻
THANK YOU!
Grohl's drumming is always fun. Check out his guest performance on Killing Joke's self-titled album from 2003. Epic.
Thanks! I will
He ended up playing on that Killing joke album after KJ won a lawsuit over Nirvana stealing some riffs from them, to settle Dave agreed to play drums with them.

Yup he's got that guy next door vibe about him. Down to earth
Which is what most kids do who want to drum....
I was there watching that in '02 and it was phenomenal
I bet Dan!
Grohl's short drum solo from this show on the song "Avon" is awesome and worth checking out.
the real highlight takes place not long after the solo - watch for Josh and Nick's reaction, but especially Josh - he does a double take and smiles like a little boy as he goes back to the mic... he's like "ok so that's what "11" feels like"
It seems Dave has the golden touch. Well, for me he can't do much wrong in the way of music. He is a Monster.
Yup. 100% golden touch
Adam and Joe introducing QOTSA, they look so young!
and to play guitar and write songs just as good as his drumming… phenomenal…. and the fact that he spends hours hookin up the crowd with some great bbq.. what can’t he do.. and he’s humble about it.. cool dude
Unreal John. Legend 🙌
Must review…. Them Crooked Vultures, Dave Grohl, Jon Paul Jones and Josh Homme. Live at Austin City Limits. Great production.
Yes Michael! 🙌
i came for the same recommendation for Andrew... Them Crooked Vultures drums are insane!!
Nirvana is probably my favorite band and i always loved Ghrol’s drumming especially in Nevermind, but man in Songs for the Deaf he really shines in a unique way. Definitely my fav drummer

I've never been a legit rock player like this.
This is full body stuff
I saw them during this tour, best live performance I’ve ever witnessed. The live version of God Is In The Radio is almost unbelievable.
Thunderous is how the drums sound, “devastating” is perfect.
Don’t see anyone having mentioned but the songs intro/bit was lifted with love from Black Flags “Slip It In”. Great video, awesome album all around.
Thank you!
Love the flight of the conchords shirt. My brother introduced me to them when we were kids and theyre near and dear to my heart🤣
HA! Awesome
From the same Concert - the song "Avon" with Grohl pounding away is one of my favorites as well!
What a line-up Homme, Oliveri, Grohl, Lanegan...are you crazy? The power they eminated on stage was out of mind!
My friend and I were just talking about this performance. watch it more often than probably any other live performance. So freaking good
I grew up as a Grohl fan as I was a huge fan of hard core , especially the NYC and DC areas. SCREAM was a great band!!!
Due to space I have not played drums in a long time, but I still have an appreciation of them. I am by no means a professional, but I enjoy hearing your opinion.

Was hoping someone would point that out! A return to the punk classics.
The back story for this album from the first to last track is Josh hommes trip from band practice back home to Joshua Tree
Song for the Deaf live is a killer performance as well.
Dave thought the Foo Fighters were over when he went on tour with QOTSA.

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands, nuff said.
Absolutely savage rock song Dallas
Just that look on his Dave's face says it all so determined and focused...
he's a walking drum machine. he can literally play jazz, rock, metal, black metal. i bet he would easily blast beat
Dave is known , for most of the time , when he is drumming in the studio to only needing one take . He is a human metronome .
Absolute beast and natural drummer/musician
Listen to "Play" , the 16 minute song he did on his own.
He records the drums without in ears on, its crazy
@@afonsoferreira5171 The music is in his head already .
Okay dude if you really dig that, you need to have a looksey, listensey, to another Dave Grohl / Josh Homme project. "Them Crooked Vultures" featuring John Paul Jones on bass adds to the overall kick-ass-ness. I would provide a link but any track or performance will do. "Elephants" is my personal fave. Enjoy, and you're welcome! P.S. Josh is the real genius behind all this. Dave is lucky to be a part of it. I know he is genius in his own right, Foo Fighters, etc. You are a drum enthusiast and I get it, but all must bow down to Josh. Everything he does is incred!
THE best drum intro ever made 💪🏼
On the album Dave recorded the cymbals separate. That’s how he got that drum sound on “songs for the deaf”.
Has nothing to do with that. It has to do that the room they were in was too small to set up the kit properly so he recorded cymbals and drums in different takes
@@jd0879 the bad call against the lions took points away and took the lead away with 25 seconds left in the game.
Legendary performance.... Glastonbury 2002 overall was one of the best ever.
Just smashed it. Can't imagine what it was like to see this explosion live
I was there it was magnificent. It was powerful and had so much drive.
I stated play drums thanks to him! 🔥🤘🏽 great video!
Been playing guitar 17 years, bass for about half that, singing the whole time too. I'm about a week into learning drums with the goal of at least attempting to play through this whole album someday. It's fair to say this performance is what really lit a fire under me to pick up drums and make it happen.
One of my favorite bands of all time, #1 on most days 🤘
That’s awesome Tony! 👌
The furious intensity combined with the immense precision is unique to Grohl. Many have one of those, but Dave has both at once.
Special type of energy and confidence.
And fantastic natural time feel
Some say those cymbals are still ringing...
Crazy good drummer
i have heard that Kurt and Krist seen Dave playing guitar and one said to the other "he is better than both of us"
Oh yeah, just started the video, but have watched this live footage before, and know that it is epic
Sure is Adam
This is pure fucking rock man. They killed it
Yup. Just smashed it
This was great. So many people take Dave Grohl for granted. This song never got radio play, but QOTSA fans know and love it. Especially with how killer those drums are. It has been a set closer many times, and it’s actually rare for a QOTSA show to not include it. QOTSA’s current drummer is Jon Theodore. He’s pretty great as well 😁
Thanks Linda! I don’t know much about Theodore. I need to check him out 🥁👌
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Theodore is the drummer on the first 3 Mars Volta albums, imo just about the most creative modern drum work around
If you're listening to Mars Volta and Them Crooked Vultures for the first time soon then you're in for a treat
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Check out One Day As A Lion as well, more of Jon Theodore crushing it.
Song for the dead has turned my whole perception of what rock music is upside down. That was an overload for my tiny teenage brain in 2002, so even without the airplay, they've managed to f. up many heads with it
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I've seen QOSTA four times since the early days (not with Grohl unfortunately) and the last time with Theodore was the best yet... He's fabulous!
Request: "Refused - The Deadly Rhythm" - live by David Sandstrom.
Yeah, THAT outro at the very end is pure 🔥🔥🔥
100%
Happy i was sober that moment♥️
👌🙌
Dave also sees playing guitar in a funky drumming way.
