Foo Fighters Dave Grohl On the Guns N' Roses & Nirvana Feud, Axl Rose & Kurt Cobain! 

Kurt and Axl: 😡⚔️😡 Dave and Slash in the background: 😃🤘 🤘 😃

So funny Kurt's alias for hotels was Axl's real name: William Bailey 😂😂😂😂

I feel like Dave is just the type of guy who is cool with everyone. He just wants to hang out and jam. That's pretty dope

I love all 3 bands. GnR Nirvana and Foo. Good music is good music

I'm a fan of both bands.Appetite for Destruction and Nevermind are two albums that I can listen to all the way through.

“I was just a drummer so I yelled some loud, funny shit and hit the bar” - Dave Grohl

The both of them-Kurt and Axl-needed really good therapists.

HI Axl! HI Axl! Where's Axl? HI Axl! HI Axl! HI Axl!

Duff McKagan was one of the last people to talk to Kurt Cobain.

I’m happy for Dave. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

I think it’s cool these guys can all look back at the drama and laugh as friends. Even in my lifetime people who started out as an enemy eventually became some good friends.

G N’ R and Nirvana would’ve been an absolute epic concert

I love how Dave tries to pass off his involvement in the feud as "just shouting some funny stuff and hitting the bar" - I mean, at the end of Nirvana's set whilst Kurt is busily smashing up the drum kit its is Dave who comes from behind the drums, seeks out the microphone and calls out/mocks Axl in front of the entire ceremony whereas Kurt & Krist pretty much kept the beef backstage otherwise, lol. Come on Dave, I know you're all friends now, but you weren't "just the drummer", you were happily stirring the pot back in '93 just like everyone else.

There's a recording of Kurt saying he hated Axl because he beats women is homophobic and sexist. it was more than just "they're corporate rockstars".

The truth is Dave Grohl was never an outsider or cynical like Kurt. He is a crowd pleaser he has some talent and he did some great songs but he never had the same edge as Kurt. I mean I like Foo Fighters but Dave Grohl does music for the regular people just rock 'n' roll he always wanted to be a rockstar, always wanted people to like him and to be in the little club. Never took the time to judge anyone, he's always very political he's always very nice, everyone likes him. Dave Grohl = Paul McCartney Kurt Cobain = John Lennon

I was the guy wearing a Nirvana T-shirt to a GnR show in ‘93.. never did get to a Foo show, but I did check Them Crooked Vultures. Only time I ever layed eyes on our man Dave.

cool episode....Axl has evolved so much as a human...it's been an incredible ride being a fan all these years...glad everyone is still with us too!!

It is interesting how Dave Grohl always puts himself out of any situation, but every nirvana interview he was always one of the biggest shit talkers. Even at the MTV awards he was the one that picked up the microphone and started mocking Axl rose.

Man, I went to the wrong school. Imagine having Dave Grohl & Slash playing at your local school.

To me rock music is music we all had good and bad music we had fights and memories. They still both made great music. It doesn't matter if they hated each other. They were both AMAZING bands!

You know? Nirvan was my favorite band back in high school. I had the same blue hat with the yellow Nirvana that Axl used to wear. I was at an age where, when Guns n Roses biggest accomplishment (AFD) had already reached it's peak, I guess I thought of Guns as being an older band and I was trying to get into the modern music. The "Grunge" music.Though, some of the timeless songs (Paradise City, Welcome To The Jungle, and Sweet Child Of Mine) were still playing on the radio occasionally. And I liked them. It's funny that you don't realize you LOVED a song/band until 30 years later. Then, they came out with "Use You're Illusion" and it had a few gems on it (November Rain, Don't Cry, and Knockin On Heaven's Door). So they were always there in the background. They'd already accomplished stardom, so to me they just seemed not like, "Oldies", but what we now call "classic rock" I wasn't as into them as much as I was with Nirvana. I graduated in 96'. So, hopefully some people reading that are 41 also will know what I'm talking about. You CAN be a fan of more than one band. it isn't the NFL. Music isn't about who's better. Now when I hear the opening riff to to "Sweet Child O' Mine", I stop dead in my tracks and just.....enjoy. Same feeling when I hear Kurt (RIP) screaming, "...With the lights out, it's less dangerous ! Here we are now, entertain us!". Why does it make me feel guilty? It really shouldn't. I wanna point out that both Kurt and Axl BOTH were pioneers and paved the way for a lot of other bands. So if this makes me "Fuckin' Crazy", then....."All Apologies"!

I listen to both GNR and Foo Fighters. I actually listened to GNR and Nirvana in high school and Foo Fighters and GNR in college.

Fan of both.. love how their stories have come together..great guys..

Kurt criticized everything, Axl was furious at everything. Nirvana wasn't very educated on GNR sadly, they didn't recognized how rebellious Guns was to the scene. In fact GNR gave the industry more trouble than Nirvana, it's common knowledge the label could barely control Axl. Also worth noting both bands were on that same label.

I'd love to see Axl singing Nirvana songs

If you're a fan of "music', you're a fan of BOTH.

They were both signed to Geffen The biggest band that was had to advertise for the next biggest band to come It was part of the deal That helped solidify the gnr brand If you think professional music isn't controlled by corporate interest Your mistaken

I love Nirvana's music, but as a person, Kurt never impressed me. Look, he was a depressive guy with this huge chip on his shoulder and who felt it was part of his personality to not only shun "fame", but make sure everyone knew how much he despised it. Yeah, ok, whatever, you do you. Axl's no sweetheart either but, if I had to bet, this was more Kurt's fault (with his trusty sidekick/trashhole Courtney) than anyone else. Just my feeling, I could be wrong.

I love them both! Some great people in those bands! Slash, Duff, Dave, all of them! Big Love and Respect to them all!

Imagining Duff trying to kick Krist's ass is hilarious.

I love both bands so much. GnR and Nirvana will 4ever be on my playlists. Personally, i listened to nirvana before i ever listened to GnR, but after finally listening to GnR's appetite for destruction and use you illusions 1 and 2 i fell in love with GnR alot more than Nirvana. I love in utero and Nevermind too but i find myself lidtening to more of the powerful classic rock GnR has! Still luv them all \m/

Guns and Roses are fucking awesome. I used to hate their sound but it grew better with time.

Krist fighting Duff...a third degree black belt...yeah that wouldn't have ended well for Krist.

'I was born for chaos' What the fuck Dave You've played it safe your whole life man. You're the straightest guy in rock n roll!

Dave is a real down to earth guy and he was like that when he was in Nirvana. Always fascinating to hear him tell stories of the past.

Love the Foos and Slash. GNR I really love GNR "Appetite for Destruction". I'm glad to see Dave Grohl and GNR have mended the bridges and can be apart of good Rock N Roll for the next 25 years!

Hi Axole lol. I always loved all these bands. Nirvana, Guns and Roses and now Foo Fighters.

Pro tip: Anything with text on it should probably be entirely visible, or scrolled left to right. Not right to left. You know, because that's the way we read...and stuff.

To answer the question at the end of the video I’m a fan of both GnR and Nirvana. As a kid the only tapes I had besides all the Metallica albums were Use Your Illusion 2 and Nevermind. 1991 & 1992 were the best years for music imo.

GnR, Nirvana and Foo Fighters have all played a massive role in advancing rock music. The issue might be whether or not it advanced to good place. Don't get me wrong, there are still some good bands rockin out today but it seems like the "heyday" of rock has passed us by. I can only hope and pray for a resurgence to counter the constant autotuned assault on our ears that is known as today's music.

Appetite for Destruction, Lies, Use Your Illusion and Live Era are greater than the entirety of Foo Fighters’ back catalogue. Foo Fighters, The Colour and the Shape and There is Nothing Left to Lose are the very best records Foo Fighters have to offer. One by One is hit and miss, then they jumped the shark with In Your Honour. Got a lot of love for both bands, but they are sadly well past their best (in my opinion). Same for RHCP (my freaks for life) though John Frusciante could have a change of heart at any point and his return would likely redeem them entirely. ✌🏻❤️🤘🏻

Kurt should have came out and started playing Paradise City at the MTV awards, that would have been fucking epic.

It's interesting how GnR escaped the hair metal extinction event known as Grunge. I guess they were kind of in their own category, hard rock American band.

Kurt completely misunderstood Guns N Roses, it's because he was surrounded by punk elitists unfortunately

I was there at the Tulsa show when Dave came out for Paradise City. It was an awesome night!

I blame the feud on Kurt. I like both bands but let's be serious, GN'R mop the floor with Nirvana. Also, today (April 5, 2019) is the 25th Anniversary of Kurt's death.

Love GNR, not a huge fan of FF but they are one of the best bands I've seen live, great songs to sing along to

Kurt hated pretty much everyone. He even hated Pearl Jam.

People grow up, it's all water under the bridge now. Krist and Duff are friends now. Who knows if Kurt was still alive he might not care anymore either, who knows? The drama happened almost 30 years ago, if you're going to keep a grudge that long for something so stupid, you're a sad person

Kurt mocked Axl by saying "Hey Axl wanna be godfather to my daughter? Jokingly.. that's stuff you just don't do. I Thought it was in poor taste, granted its the past but Duff took it personally & went after Krist at the MTV awards if my knowledge is correct. Duff being from Seattle got defensive for his fellow band mate even though he knew Kurt & Krist from the Punk days in the 80s in Seattle.. it's a sad day today, Layne & Kurt were lost on this day years apart.. Yesterday I listened to Chinese Democracy from start to finish & still love it!! Since today is Layne & Kurt's anniversary, play AIC & Some Nirvana (I'm not a big Nirvana fan at all) They definitely changed the musical landscape of Rock n roll just like GN'R, AIC, & all the great bands that came before. Another great video guys!!!

I remember all of it. Both bands were great and still are....But I will say after Kurts death I can’t listen to Nirvana anymore it’s just way to depressing...To me nirvana was just a vehicle for kurt to publicly display his demons. A real drag that he’s gone...The seeds of dysfunction from childhood can can become our reaper as adults. Miss ya Kurt....By the way Your daughter has grown now and I see you in her.

Always been a fan of FF and never cared much for “ Guns “, but I’m amazed to discover that Axl had class enough to give Dave that Gibson and he would end up using on Concrete and Gold. What a story. Dave is definitely a class act. Im just shocked to see it coming from Axl. I Guess there wasn’t as much hatred between bands as we were once led to believe .

Sounds to me like Kurt was just projecting his dislike for hair metal onto Axl without even knowing him. A bit immature imo

If you haven’t read Dave’s autobiography, please do. It’s an amazing read/listen. Dave is a great person and some awesome stories.

This entire channel is very informative content! Love the hard work!

pretty amazing gift from Axl to Grohl.. Trying to find an ES-335 with dot inlays from that era is no easy task... The few that are out there & available with block inlays are between $17-$18K, so can only imagine what the rare bird cost Axl... not that it put a dent in his accumulated wealth.

Keep it up! Branching off to different types of videos!#G N R CENTRAL

GNR is my favorite band of all time but I respect Kurt's reasons for not wanting to work with Axl. He was a piece of shit but hes mellowed quite a bit now that hes in his late 50s.

Axl Rose adored Nirvana yet it was only returned with hate by Kurt. Axl Rose was quite correct about Courtney Love.

Big fan of all 3 band's efforts. Look forward to hearing new music from eighter camp...or BOTH camps.

If Kurt was still alive, he and Axl would be best friends. Kurt hated Axl because he was so similar to Axl.

I love both bands!!!

I like both bands.

Kurt was repulsed by fame, he didn’t care about pleasing the fans. I don’t think Dave wanted fans necessarily, he didn’t NEED fame, but he appreciates his fan base and does want to please them.

I used to not like Dave grohl but after nirvana, I started liking him more, now I’m so jealous that everything he does turns to gold. I’ve been a GNR fan for 30 years now.

I'm a GnR fan. I like Nirvana's music, but I'm not a die hard fan like I am of GnR.

After a Strat, the ES335s are my favorite guitars. I've been repairing guitars for almost 20 years and have been fortunate to have held and played 50s and 60s Stats, Les Pauls, 335s…all the greats. Players and guitar geeks are always talking about how great the 50s Les Paul bursts sound and play, and how you can't reproduce their tone with a new guitar, justifiably. But you don't hear about how unique the vintage ES335s sound when compared with later ones , and the differences are MUCH more noticeable, due to the semi-acoustic construction. The same thing goes for the talk about the original PAFs from the late 50s, and while they do sound great in Les Pauls, they truly sound like they were specifically intended for the 335; running through a slightly pushed JTM 45, or a Tweed…🤤 Someone giving you an early 60s ES335 as a thank you is insane. They are IMO the best playing years.

"YOU GET NOTHING FOR NOTHING IF THAT'S WHAT YOU DO/ TURN AROUND BITCH I GOT A USE FOR YOU/ BESIDES... YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO/ AND I'M BORED." That is the song DAVE managed to proudly and loudly perform with his gunners idols. It figures. No further, Your Honor ;)

The It’s So Easy collab was fucking incredible.

If Kurt knew Dave and Axl would end up being friends he'd hit the roof.....again!..

I love Gnr, Foo Fighters and Nirvana... but GnR first :)

The audio from the MTV awards when Nirvana were on stage,. with Dave going "Hi Axl. Hi Axl! HI AXL!!" is beyond funny xD

Guns was great nirvana was ok Alice in Chains was the best

You are right Dave, music changes the world.

Dave is quite the diplomat

Fan of Guns only, but Dave is a cool guy and a great drummer.

very cool hearing daves side of playing on slashs album.

Love both. How can you not?

Kurt loved to hate just because he thought it was cool to be a rebel like that. But in the end Axl and Dave were the clear winners here.

Great video!

I'm a fan of all great music.

Kurt didn't like and refused to tour with GnR because of misogynist statements he had made. It was a statement of values

Great in depth look at the battle!i was on team GNR but I appreciated the art nirvana produced as well

Yes there is a big difference between your 20's and your 50's when you don't have time for drama and just need to get home to the kids at a reasonable time every night.

Nirvana isn't a great band, no they are just one of the most culturally significant bands in the history of music. None of you get to change that, it already happened. God bless our brother Kurt.

Seen them both, they’re great.

Foo fighters Awesome band

I like some Nirvana songs, definitely not all but Kurt judged Axl without even knowing him. Axl was being nice to Kurt. Kurt was being an SJW. And Courtney is a waste of life lmao probably made everything worse. Never liked cobain myself

Pretty rad how axl turned it around and showed love to Dave

Huge fan of both bands, and your channel!

Early example of cancel culture. Kurt was trying to use his status to shame Axl & turn people against him publicly. Accusing Axl of being a sell out rock star was hypocritical. Sorry, Kurt-you signed that contract. Once you meet the devil at the crossroads & he tunes your guitar & hands it back, the deal is done, no takesies-backsies🔥😈🔥. He was right about Axl being abusive & all, but attacking someone is not the way to get them to change-assuming your the one to change that person in the first place-which Kurt was not. Kurt really would’ve been better off if he’d just kept playin’ in the band.😁

Poor Nirvana, they were heading for huge band stardom wether they liked it or not. LOL

Hi Axl, Hi Axl, Hi Axl!!

I feel like Axl Rose may be one of the most misunderstood people on this planet

I’m a fan of music. Faith No More, Beastie Boys, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, GNR, Jimi Hendrix, Cypress Hill, Van Morrison, The Doors, Mr Bungle, Prince, EverClear, Los Lobos, Blondie, I mean if I like it I listen to it.

I'm a huge fan of both bands, they both have their own unique signature sound that you can instantly recognize which makes any band a great band. Rock on Gn'R.🤘 Rock on Foo Fighters🤘

Axl loved all types of music and bands. He liked nine inch nails before they were big and took them on tour with them. Most the audiences didn't like them.

Dave Grohl can be hypocrital at times on numerous levels, and you obviously didn't research this in an unbiased manner. Do a search for audio tapes that exist of words exchanged between the men themselves when cameras weren't present and recorded label reprentation would find it hard to push any legalities on public liable, slander or defamation of any sort. Both were misquoted in the media by representation since they had to share a label. If you listen the men, from their own mouths, it was regarding opposing views and actions regarding women, homophibua and abuse. A direct threat was even made on one occession. That's all for people to hear. As I said, please research it and add the audio as an addendum if you want to be impartial in the name of music history. I don't have a RU-vid channel, so I have no agenda. I'm not trying to direct your subscribers attention to anyone else's videos. I'm simply referring you to facts as opposed to heresy. Also, one has a documented history of domestic violence. The other was charged with it, but the charges were dropped when the supposed victim admitted to self-inflicted wounds and actually getting physical with him instead. He didn't hurt her in return. There are police reports to back that up as well. I'm not stating names here to be as impartial as possible because music study is a very interesting thing. If you want to present factual content, however, it would be wise to fact check yourself without prejudice. All the best to you...

i heard somewhere that Kurt didn’t like Axl because he beats woman.

Fan of both. FF is my go to music for working out. Also, a fan of grown men putting petty differences aside to enjoy the more important things in life.
