Foo Fighters | Everlong (Acoustic - March 20, 2021) 

Beautiful, thank you so much sharing. What a special moment in time!

He is truly a wonderful human being. What a great memory, thanks for sharing!

This is amazing. Glad to see he is the kind of person I hoped he would be.

Pretty cool he was reassuring you because Dave loves to fly but is also afraid to fly.

@@FooCards88 He learned to fly too.

Makes me feel better as a musically illiterate guitarist of 20+ years lol.

It usually takes fresh ears to come up with something very original. Trained musicians tend to stick to the classic chords they were taught. Dave basically created his own because he had no "rules" to follow.

@@BornIn1500 that's a great way to put it

I've played with a young man who doesn't know the difference between F# and Dm but can write kick ass songs! He plays all instruments and sings.. Check him out here on RU-vid or Spotify. Diamond Nugget

IIRC same story with Van Halen. Taught on the piano but never learned guitar via a formal setting.

I'm sorry for your loss and pain. I hope the music can be a little bit of balm for your heart.

I'm sorry❤

My condolences honey ❤️ let the music take u back to good memories

I’m sorry 😢

I hope you find peace and his memory lives on brother.

How was the wedding day?

@@EdgarHammer847 it was just the best😊 thanks so much for asking! We consider ourselves very blessed.

Music is such an incredibly powerful human creation. It unites us. It transports us. It elevates us. Your story is a special one that embodies all of that. Thank you.

@@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable you nailed it. Nothing can unite us like music can. So many Foo songs happened at the right time for me.

So its 5 months later I have the flu and Im sobbing at this comment.

yes

Such a wickedly accurate, honest statement from him!!

Not that it's important for the song, but James Hetfield (rhythm guitarist from Metallica) actually said the same. In a commercial for Yousician, he said: "I basically play drums on guitar."

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic ” by SLT 🤘🐺

He's the best guitarist drummer

bro it's Dave Grohl

@@kharnegreylhada6559 You missed his joke there

@@kharnegreylhada6559 REALLY????¿¿¿¿???

He was drummer of Nirvana with Kurt

@@pradeepkumarsingh6024noo, are you lying to me??

you listen to wine?

@@Sans-rt8os Nah I just like to drink music.

@@xeroeightfive085 me too

Amazing story here. An untrained musician being on of the best

❤ awesome mate.

i had years inside, i had acute schiztophrenia, was a hard time..Xxx

Music is the universalhealing language , thank you for sharing, hope you are doing well today❤❤❤❤@@dfleckhj

kudos

i see what you did there

I don’t even like his music that much but I’ll agree. He’s down to earth.

Watch him as he goes!

"Watch him as he goes"

As someone currently self training (Still terrible I may add) I appreciate this. Its exactly my thought process when just playing each chord to this song. Plays 1 chord "sounds good" the next "sounds good" and the rest "sounds good." Okay, now with the strumming pattern...."sounds nothing like everlong" RIP

@@fullbeans983 Try it with more mushrooms next time

What key is this song in? B cool? Got it...

Can confirm. Source: I asked my ears.

OOOOOHHHHHHHHH. I knew that was it. I just couldn't remember the names lmao

❤️🤘🤘🤘

❤

Howard Stern: " I's this song about Kurt Cobain ?

Sorry for your loss

So sorry mate

Your story is more sad than the song.😢

I'm sorry that's so sad

💔 🙏🏿 🖤 🤍

Learning what chords you play is definitely helpful, but you still know what sounds good.

That's why the best songs seem to come from untrained musicians I personally think 🤘

@@MultiMeg101 Ever listen to the Kinks

@@bryanluntz1603 Yes mate

It's inspiring really. I've been playing guitar for a little over a year now, and I think that I should learn all the notes ans scales so that I can play good, but then I step back for a bit, find a random chord that I have no idea what it is called and roll with it, and it sounds great.

Dave is just fucking around and finding out.

Passion will always overcome adversity. Not to in any way minimize legit adversity, but more to say hang on to your passion. Formal training, proper connections, ideal physick, or whatever looks like it's holding you back, don't let it. Magic comes from so many unexpected places.

@@haggleboggle most rock musicians I play with never had formal lessons either. Same for me. I had a guy show me a couple chords and just took over from there. Same with drums. I was shown how to ride the high hat while alternating bass and snare and the rest is just practice and discovery. My first entire band was like that. We figured out what we were doing as we went. It goes really fast too. You improve so fast as long as you put in the practice. It’s probably way more fun that way actually.

He is awesome, but not the lead Guitarist of the Foo Fighters.

@@Grasshoppa65 lead singer + guitarist. Clearly i need to be more elaborate for keyboard warriors

Bro I just cried singing the lyrics

fuck my life

Still rocks that guitar!

Three bands

@Your Dad Feel free to list 100 drummers of which all are better than Dave Grohl

At least here on #9.. Dave Grohl www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/best-drummers-in-music/

And here, Dave Grohl at #6 damsonglobal.com/blog/post/drummers/

And #7 www.musicradar.com/news/the-15-best-rock-drummers-of-all-time-as-voted-for-by-you

@Your Dad Just deal with it, there are people that really think Dave Grohl is a great drummer. And you comparing to lists in general as a point isnt a statement to be taken seriously. Of course - you can have your own opinion.

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic ” by SLT 🤘🔥🎸

Those are the best songs I've realized, because you get the whole entirety of life in one. Both the good and the bad. Sad that it's over but also happy for what was, and for the future to come.

Yes that’s it exactly!

I believe the term is ‘bittersweet’.

Definitely is

its melancholic

❤️💔

sorry for your loss

so sorry for your loss. God bless you

Sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry for your loss, man

Nothing or no one that’s any better !!!

I'm sorry for your loss. What a great guy to learn and play that for you! I hope listening to Everlong again (and you must), brings out the sweet memories of him after the tears fade.

I’m so sorry. 💔

Damn girl, I am so sorry!

Music has a way of helping us transcend the crap hand life gives us sometimes. The Foo Fighters (and Everlong) in particular is an incredible song and your husband loved you so much that he learned to play it for you. What an amazing gift. I too suffered a horrible loss to the love of my life - my high school sweetheart - my husband - the father of our 2 beautiful daughters - my best friend…to an illness. Time will pass and you might find that it hurts a little less, but this song will anchor you to him forever and your feelings will eventually become more melancholy than sad. It’s been nearly 6 years since our loss and I can finally listen to Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley’s version) without breaking down into a puddle of tears and find that feeling that bonded us to that song with a smile in my heart. I’m so sorry for your loss. And you’re right…Fv

@@amynanocchio5808 God bless you Amy....lots of love and thoughts coming your way...

It’s really inspiring. I mean most of the greats aren’t trained musicians, just people who were inspired and picked up a guitar.

He is trained, just not in the traditional sense of going to a school and being taught music theory. At the end of the day though, every great musician and composer uses the same things: their ears and their heart

Sometimes being trained makes you just think like everyone else.

Gotta respect his honesty. That really means that his songs have somethig special. I've been trying for so long to learn reading music, believing that i would be somehow better. Now, this video, almost gives me an excuse to skip learning intervals, modes, arpeggios. Even though I enjoy watching Adam Neely and Rick Beato explaining what appears to be rocket science :) anyone agrees?

Yeah dude, now i see it's not a problem as longs i can have fun and use my talent

he was a drummer first lol

​@@Rizzonomics22 listen to the story, he created the guitar stuff first and added the drum track later

@@Dave_ja_vu he played the guitar chords off what the drums sound like

@@Dave_ja_vu He’s saying dave grohl was a drummer before he was a guitarist. not about how the song was made.

Same as Eddie Van Halen

Like Novoselic

@@juanbautistamaciel6767 it’s a damn shame novoselic never picked the bass back up. One of the best bass players of all time

@@cannonkelly5079 I wouldn't say he "never "

@@cannonkelly5079 He's not the best lmao. Man just played the root notes all his career

@@juanbautistamaciel6767 Noveselic’s actually gone on to play a brief stint with Flipper, has also recorded vocals, bass and accordion on a few Foo songs. I think he has a band currently going called Giants in the Trees.

Sorry for your loss, I just lost my Dad and this came up on my feed and your comment obviously stood out to me. I love how music can take you back to those moments and memories.

Lmao! Great comment and totally true!

Sounds legit

Pretty sure this is how Chris Cornell wrote spoon man.

@@andrewalvarez4975 Chris Cornell s music still influences me today just as much as it did when I was a teen

What kind of cereal? I want a Grammy.

Solid... But slow down it's not like a Lennon McCartney tune or something.

@Hayden nah man this song's a gem

@@antonioval3035 Why did Lennon McCartney write the Golden Slumbers Medley? When a drummer is just gonna knock em out in 30 years with a couple chords he can't even name cause he thinks the high strings are cymbals and the low strings are drums... That by his own admission he ripped off from Sonic Youth. Yeah you really got us there!

Definitely plus it’s my favorite song by them.

@Hayden music is completely subjective. To this person, it’s one of the best songs ever written. There’s no way to prove that it’s not. No need to argue over it

Like clockwork. I mentioned in another comment that I can't think of a single bad time in my life that I was listening to this song. It's always been a highlight of the highlights, if you will.

💯

I couldn’t have said it any better.

Yeah. The 90's and early 2000's was a good time to be alive. I know for me it just reminds me of being a teenager with all this inner turnmoil for the first time. Just having like a first real awakening to life in general and not knowing how to handle it, but being able to take comfort and solace on songs like these, if only for a moment.

SAME!!! 💘

Totally agree I get a vision of two people i never even met But she lays in the bed on her side and he does just that

@@rossmontoya9350 I see many possibilities. One person so madly in love with another that they can't breathe unless the other is kissing them. They spend their lives together. Then as one is dying the survivor says this to their lover so as to keep that person inside them forever.

@@floydhaas303 wow Yes Im a writer myself so im highly visual when it comes to quotes or lyrics. But thats a beautiful image Thank you & be well

@@rossmontoya9350 Thank You

It incidentally speaks to sharing “aloha”..

Chick from veruca salt

You right!

Sometimes you need adversity and bad times to create more.

She dumped him?

@@904PinballZine they got divorced. But Everlong was actually written about the girl he dated right after the divorce

Dear Mr. Fantasy, please don’t be sad. If it was a straight life you had we wouldn’t have known you all these years.

Kurt and Pat were once backstage at a show and heard Dave playing guitar and realized that the best guitarist in Nirvana was the drummer.

remember he made a whole album by himself and played every instrument on it (2yrs later btw ik)

Pass the joint

So why don't you teach him English?

@@myphilippineamericanjourne4731 I think you have missed the point dude :)

So sweet

@@Octomusprime that’s a point none the less if he taught him English he’d understand the fucking song

Wow that is beautiful and amazing. Great song choice. Sometimes you don’t have to understand the language to feel the emotion that follows the music. His father was proud to hear his talented son. And son was proud to share something he loves with his father. Sounds like a bonding moment to me ♥️ so congrats my friend. Keep doing what you love.

My favorite line!

Hold u in...

It's not just you.

Yes, exactly that.

it sounds gross to me lol

panty dropper line.

Breathe*

I stumbled across this comment right as he sang it 😮

Yes

Hold you in

Let’s make this this number one comment so Dave’s does see it.

Yes check this out Dave ... You are so awesome! Thanks

I'm sorry for your tragic loss. Glad you found your strength in music. Many lives are saved by sound and words that come in the right moment . we're lucky to have that to hold us up .

Dam bro. I'm sorry. Music is for the soul my dude you gotta rock out to heal.

@@NK-bz9wb great comment

Complete genius.

100% agree. They have become my favorite band. Dave Grohl is a genius!

But would you like his fingers on you're drink

500th

i know 11 people just around me that can do the same

Bro don't use periods if you can't use Commas

Makes you wonder where the people inspired by these people's talent and personality would be too. Do you think that this masterpiece would have been written if Kurt hadn't died?

@@rhettdonnelly7756 my thoughts exactly. We lost Kurt, but gained a Dave and...well, that's fair-ish.

Always looked up to that exact fact about Dave - such a diverse musical being

I wonder that about Layne

Everyone’s made for greatness just a few choose to make it.

If Kurt never killed himself this moment in the booth probably would have never happened....

Kurt never killed him self booth happened not both

Her name is Louise Post. She’s a musician and was in 1/2 of the lead Vocals & guitar for Veruca Salt

Spoiler alert... The Seether's Louise

I heard a rumor that the girl "Hey There Delilah" is based on sued the band over it

@@TJP777RPG That's pathetic. Most relevance she will have and she sue's over it. Crazy

She wants her cut of the royalties

best line!

Ever long is just so elegantly crafted

We value earnestness and passion over technical prowess. This man felt the music and we felt it too.

And ironically (or not), it brings him closer to one of his musical idols, The Beatles. It's certainly good company to be able to belong to: other legends who had no mind for the mathematics of how they sounded. Grohl is the man, and long love the Beatles.

@@donsmith3590 well put

Or a person could actually take the time to learn fundamentals and also have passion. I mean, that person isn't gonna be me I'm way more like Dave but I'm just sayin its not an accomplishment to not learn something.

So true. Dave Grohl is incredible.

dude just said greatest artist ever lmao

@@matthewrodgers8205 one of the best

@@matthewrodgers8205 he play all the instruments

Doesn't matter if you know what you're doing as long as you can do it intuitively

I remember some months ago when Frusciante said that "Kiedis don´t know anything about music theory, but he write and sing with his heart and that´s even more important".

@@fabio4085 “sing” is a strong word 😂

Kurt Cobain didn’t know theory either

John Lennon was similarly clueless in a classical sense

They knew theory, but didn’t know the proper terminology for it. You don’t need to know what subjects predicates participals articles or conjunctions are to speak English, but you still need to know how to use them. That’s what these guys did, they didn’t know terminology, but they knew what they were doing

Me too buddy, me too. It feels like a warm hug on a rainy cloudy day, when you feel like that’s the best weather ever.

I used to sweat my butt off on drums in the garage with my best friend. Then he wanted to play drums, and we swapped instruments. I literally knew how to play it on both instruments at 20yrs old, because I love this song so much. One of my first experiences with drop D.

Same here ❤

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic ” by SLT 🤘🐺🎸

Yes, I love quite a few of Foo Fighters songs but when I knew this was one of the bands I needed to see live at least once was when I heard this song. Somehow it always reminds me of a past relationships. After hearing how he came up with the song... It makes perfect sense.

Check out the documentary “Back and Forth”. It’s good. Chock full of Groovy Grohl stuff.

Sonic Highways is a cool documentary as well

I think in a sense @obscurity we have.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mg2a26wcQ1s.html&ab_channel=CloudStrife =)

Me, too! Just hearing him explain every song!

It’s unbelievable, he’s a fantastic guitarist, one of the best drummers to ever touch this Earth no matter what anyone says, and his singing is like an angel’s. He’s my hero.

Yeah, and it seems to be so rare to get to watch this kind of videos. I love when the artists are passionate about their stuff

Late to this but listen to him narrate his autobiography if you haven’t - whole book is just like this

You’re overreacting…

@@copypaste_pro nope

@@jgilmer yes

It's most definitely on of the best songs written in the 90's, one that immediately brings me back to one of the best decades in my life. As many times as I've listened to this song, mostly here on RU-vid, I've never seen this video. I love the story behind one of my all time favorite songs. Also the original HD video is the first one that featured Taylor Hawkins in the Foo Fighters even though through another video Dave Grohl explains that he actually recorded the drum track for it. Yes, what a great song that showcases the talents of one of the best rock bands from the 90's.

@@copypaste_pro no

Be strong bud !

I'm right there with you pal. It gave me the "one more day" I needed to be where I'm at 2 years later. Hope you're still hanging in there.

"literally"

You all hang in there. I'm also a self taught guitar player and i don't know shit about theory but music transcends everything

It did for me many times

Same here a true troubadour !

I’m not a huge foo fighters fan but Dave grohls lovability is undeniable

Nah those musicians are still out there they're just not being promoted

There are even more Grohl type musicians today than in the past. The mainstream music industry ignores them. Look around - you will find them

Going to a Foo concert is high on my bucket list.

That's a bit of a stretch lol

Lot of musicians can't read music, hendrix, Eddie van halen, angus young

@@gregstuber8956 Michael Jackson is also in that club. He would beatbox his ideas to tape then layer them together and add the voice to have something for the session musicians to copy. They are still checking all his tapes to see what can be released.

Jeff Lynn....

Nor could any of the Beatles.

Stay strong king

Well said. Fair winds and following seas.

Wow man. Thank you for sharing.

Yes me also. And sadly I don't think it will ever be very real for me anymore. It's more like going through the motions until it's over with.
