first time hearing Foo Fighters - Everlong | Reaction!! 

Sad and happy day.

I recall he first heard this song after his heart surgery and he was visibly moved.

@@nightwood3738 Yeah this song got him through being in the Hospital the whole time! He absolutly loves it!

Not a late night guy, but I did see that show. Thanks for the memory.

They were his favorite band.

I saw him on that tour. Best show I've ever been to, and he sat the entire time

i was almost at that show. lol.

the tour that followed was one of the best shows i’ve ever seen

He out shined Cobain.

I was there that day. Unforgettable how he came back and somehow finished that

😢 so sad, hadn't looked at it that way. Poor Dave.

Wow i never thought of it that way

Cult ritual shit

I agree. Plus, the live acoustic version he did on Howard Stern is one of the best live performances ever.

agreed 100%

Yep, totally agree. Best song for this band.

Absolutely. Lyrics are 🔥

Yup for sure. Loved this song since it came out. I was like 11 when it came out

Dave has said many times it's their most popular song. But, you have to do the video for it. Their videos are all SO good and often very funny.

Yes you will die for these too! Can't wait for these videos!

Yes do these songs please

Definitely watch the Pretender video, the song is great but the video puts it over the top!

The pretender is an absolute 4Runner song!

Did you just listen to what he said? SMH.

​@livenhfree did you? He said "the drummer for Foo Fighters was in Nirvana."

and the drummer for Scream before that

@@1bossdjyou beat me to it.

@@livenhfree actually what he said at the start of the video is “the drummer from foo fighters was the drummer for nirvana. Maybe just a typo, or he read it wrong. But yeah .. not accurate.

Paramore did a good cover of that. IMO

One of the best tracks in modern Rock. DEFINITELY worth your time.

This!!!

Reminds me of my blue collar Grandfather, still the best man I ever knew!

Emotion overload when Taylor Hawkins son takes his place at the tribute concert after his death.

Yes, glad someone mentioned Taylor…so important.

Taylor was a helluva singer too! His performance at his last concert before he died and sang Queen Somebody to love Will always bring the tears

Taylor was awesome, but Dave played drums for this studio recording.

Better said "Dave Grohl is who you here on that song" - "what instrument" "i said what i said"

He played every instrument on the self-titled debut album, but not for The Colour and the Shape, which this is from. The band's lineup was still very much in flux at this point in Foo Fighters history, though, so that is Dave Grohl drumming on the album even though he didn't play drums in their live shows.

Hands down!

Monkey Wrench. Hardest song they have. Jams.

Times like these hits hard.

Add The pretender and skin and bones!

I agree. I particularly love there goes my hero 'cause I use it as a gif whenever I'm talking about something amazing that my favorite president has done. Or if someone's done just something really amazing

Virginia Moon

"He is an anomaly..." Yes, yes he is.

Well it is double-tracked

Well said!

Although it's not a walkie talkie or distorted effect, the vocal track is heavily layered, it's not really his 'real' singing voice. You can hear the production

@@123brizy Watch them live on SNL - with Dave Chapelle. No layering, no production, and he is chewing gum.

Facts

When Prince covers you in the Super Bowl, you wrote a good song

And Prtender,

Sorry Pretender

I'll get downvoted, I'm sure, but as a Foo fan from the start, that song is overrated.

Wow. Didn't know that! He's 1 of my favorites

I saw them soon after that. They had a giant throne made so Dave could be seated and they could still do the tour.

Yeah, it happened here in Sweden 2015. The doctor, Johan Sampson and Dave was later reunited on the swedish talkshow Skavlan. Was actually pretty heartwarming to see.

@tinasjostrand2677 I saw it yesterday, on the internet. Was very nice interview with Dr & Dave

YES!!!!

“Hold you in” Same!!

I was just going to write that. Perfect words on any song

Me, too. As much as he was liking the lyrics I was thinking I cant wait until he gets to the Breathe line (then he glossed right over it and talked about the melody 😂).

​@@joeraymorton2414I know!! I was like... go back... GO BACK! 😂😂

YES! the song is great but the video gives it so much more intensity!

Kiss Guy!

Facts.

Absolutely, the pace is the toughest part of this song. Keeping that high hat dancing across the whole track must be so brutal.

Shane plays for Chevy metal now, he’s 18. Taylor would be so proud

Dave played drums on this track

Was so amazing and emotional ❤😢

or when during that same stretch of the show they also brought out Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang to play some old Van Halen songs.

I was going to suggest the Beato breakdown too …. Made me appreciate the genius of this song even more

yes to ALL of this!

LOVE the acoustic version of this

My first time hearing this song was live on Howard Stern. That was a loooooong time ago. It was so beautiful and I remember Howard not getting over how much in love he was with the song. It stirred a lot of emotions in him.

and The Stern Show version made it to radio play and was almost as, if not more popular than the original.

Yes, however, he also drummed on this album.

Yes! I came to say this!

An absolute MUST!

his favorite FF song.. not his favorite song of all time.

There’s also versions with just Dave Grohl playing it on acoustic guitar that are really good. I’m learning it on acoustic guitar at the moment, finding it tough to get up to full speed but getting there! (oh and that’s without the complication of playing AND singing as Dave does!!!)

i liked the one that was like Sabotage from the Beastie Boys. lol

It was our son’s first concert. He was 9. We scored row 16 tickets at Summerfest! Our kid was loving it. He (21 years old now) and I went again in 2022 along the Milwaukee lakefront. Still fantastic!

I laughed so hard at this

​@@poloreacts27 POLO, here's another band to check out; Goo Goo Dolls *(yes, I know, weird band name😏).* The link below is from their *Live Outside Concert* in Buffalo, NY. Their YT Channel has over 1M Subs and this particular song was downloaded on Feb. 2018 and has over 55+ Million Views!!! *"Iris"* is the name of the song and it is *POURING DOWN ON STAGE* 🌧️💧☔🌧️ and someone backstage turned EVERYTHING OFF!! Lead singer wanted his gear 🎤 🎸 turned back on so that he could *FINISH the Concert for everyone!!!* The Goo Goo Dolls also sing another song that *I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT,* yet you've heard it before.... *"Long Way Down"!!!* The song was *BRIEFLY* in the 1996 Movie 🎥🍿 Twister 🌪️!! Dusty (Philip Seymour Hoffman RIP 😞) was always Rockin' Out 🎵🎶 in the Camper!! 🙂😏 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_HZM0QiuUS8.htmlsi=N-yP-IE0peqbsasy

My man keepin it real​@@poloreacts27

It’s off the second album. After playing all the instruments on the debut album, he put together a new band. He ended up firing the drummer and he played the drums himself. The Color and the and the Shape is all killer and no filler.

@@abbynormal60 thanks for the correction, I knew when I wrote it, I was only guessing. Color and the Shapes and There is Nothing Left to Lose, both never left my turn table. In my 73-year-old mind I forgot which had Everlong on it.

@@alfredlandesman5165 it’s all good. There really are no weak FF records.

Dave didn’t record the drum tracks after William quit, William quit because Dave re-recorded the drum tracks.

Thanks for the mention of Baker Street....I had never heard it before. I think I like it better than Gerry Rafferty's original. Have you seen the videos of their set at the Cubby Bear at Wrigley field? They did a cover of Miss You that I prefer to the Stones' version.

@@user-ti6mi2ue1v no, I haven't... I'm gonna look for that right now!
