Just imagine what Dave is going through here. Just a year ago, his good friend committed suicide, his music career in limbo, he decides to put down the sticks to go on and perform every instrument and record an album for a new band, then hire a group of guys to learn the new songs, then take the job of lead vocals and guitar and go on tour, all this at 25 years old. Dave is an incredible musician and person!
This is my favourite Foo flavor. Loud ass guitars combined with a melodic and fragile voice. It's great to see the Foos evolve but sometimes I wish they could just come back to this formula. That mix of power and weakness is pretty damn empowering.
I think you understand... but wanting a favorite musician to do the same thing in his 40's or 50's is kind of silly. Are you still doing the same stuff with the same idiots two or three decades later? No. Bands change love the change or find a new band you love. Foos have been consistently ROCKERS and have gone through a few sub-genres... they are what I like a perfect blend of punk/metal/pop. I like the song writing and composition... most of you do as well you just dont know it.
@@jamesbarrick3403 these all work out conveniently for you because it's what you like so there's no point in or need to tell others not to have wishes. If FF had made some radical stylistic change that wasn't at all to your liking, would you be so outspokenly defending their changes?
@@blakfloyd Yes I would... I have been talking about how bands change over time now for years. I even mentioned I don't care for the last two albums from FF but overall thought is what a great rock band
I fucking LOVE the fuzz guitar tone on this song. And I love how it's a loud song but also super chill at the same time. It's like laying down to try to collect yourself when your head is just filled with noise, and everything is just flying around like static in your mind.
+Preidon Definitely not underrated! I remember buying this album and seeing this performance in MTV after. This is the best album closer and one of my 2 favorites.
They basically picked up where Nirvana left off, back then. Wish Dave would write another album like their debut. Wasting Light was close, but none of their albums will top their first one. It's just... I don't know... Too grungy... And I fucking love it.
They're still my favorite band, and I absolutely love everything they put out, but nothing compares to their old shit. Just too loud, too intense, too GOOD!! And the live performances were awesome! I'm sure they'll be great when I go see them at the gorge
OtavioFesoares yeah i do need a nirvana 2.0 but i still enjoy what they are doing now. They did play this song two years ago i think so hopefully they'll bring it back sometime again :)
If Kurt conjured up the nerve to ask Dave to use this song for Nirvana when he was alive and they used it with Kurt's alternate lyrics, this would have been my favorite rock song by far!
It would be different song with different lyrics. Plus, Dave’s falsetto it the perfect counter to the heavy guitars. Kurt Cobain would’ve just screamed like he always did.
I’ve not listened to this years, & I’d forgotten what a great song it was. Just a simple chord sequence but so catchy, incidentally the 25 year anniversary is coming up for the debut album...
mjbdvp this was the first FF song that a lot of us heard when Dave returned. “This Is A Call” was the single but this was on the first 12” and someone high up decided this was what people would want to hear in 1995. A good call.
imo, their first record is their best. SO many killer cuts on it....Big me, ill stick around, for all the cows, Watershed...but Exhausted is my fav Foo song.
I hate to be selfish but what if they only put out this album and that was it…. Just watching this video really shows how precious these times were this album start to finish captures so many genres and it will forever be in my top favorite albums of all time…
Okay, this is seriously one of the best Foo performances ever. It sounds flawless and just like the record, Pat's energy and happiness are at 100%, everyone else is just rocking out all happy as fuck and full of energy, but Pat's enthusiasm is very noticeable here and I absolutely LOVE it!!! And this song is just so GOOD, heartwarming, beautiful, and emotionally grasping. This performance is seriously incredible. This is why I've loved Foo Fighters all my life, and always will continue to forever and ever. This video is way too beautiful. God I wish I was alive back then to see this in person. Foo forever. ❤
This video of this song made me realize how similar in concept this song is to something Nirvana would have done. Dave definitely carried over a lot of Nirvana's style to the Foos in the earlygoing.
Alternative Lapsi people like you are the reason for what happened to Dime. You take everything that's pure, and twist it around to some sick perversion. I do miss the days when people could just be people without ass clown trolls like you mucking everything up. You're not funny, you're not cute, or sly, you're the problem.
I love this show so much. Brings back amazing memories of playing this album on a loop, drawing pictures of The Crow. Isolation, no friends for miles and just myself and my music for company., my new band down the road and getting high for the first time in my life. A golden era for music, and for me.
one of my greatest wishes, a desire... the day I'll ctrowdsurf like the guy in this song, played live again, I can say goodbye to the Foos, no regrets, just pure magic with Exhausted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m pretty sure he already has wrote some songs in nirvana and nirvana was gonna break up around the time Kurt died so he probably already was starting to form the band
Man I love this song. I have the OG eponymous Foo's debut CD and I just lose myself when it gets to this track. It's always felt like the protogenesis of Everlong to me, nailing the mixture of sadness and fury and how closely they brush up together. But I like this song better. It's still got some of that hidden gem flavor.
Taylor is a master technician! He’s an amazing and super talented drummer - unreal chops. But William has something closer to what Grohl has a drummer in my humble opinion - power, intensity, and vibe...his own bombastic style. He will always be my favorite foos drummer....this is coming from someone who LOVES Taylor Hawkins too haha. Both amazing drummers regardless!
@@universitydrivemusic Goldsmith was there for about a year or live shows? Nothing from the studio. How can you so you think he is so good. We know damn well Dave is great and has a great ear for whats up. I will defer to Dave's opinion for whatever reason. You cannot argue with success.
Wow, so cool its almost unreal. They used to be so good, beeming with raw energy and passion and truth. I'm reminded of that saying: "dont trust anyone over 30." Its too bad that Dave doesent write this way anymore, and that the Foo Fighters allow themselves to be an arena rock band.
tempestuousseaurchin ... Hey tempest, you said it loud and clear.... totally agree & respect to that man!.... exhausted.... wow.... ... ... 1995... - 2015 ...
tempestuousseaurchin Arena rockbands are awesome and face it, all bands wanna make it big. Try to grow up like they did, a bands old music is always the best but to make the same stuff forever they'd have to never grow up and stay angsty teens forever just to please the bitter part of their fanbase and why would they? A lot of people as they get older discover new kinds of music and take inspiration from everywhere and with that their own music will change as well along with how their life changes and they evovle and grow as people like most others do.
as for me, you are right, but I agree more with Tempest on the point about Dave, he totally doesn't write this way anymore and the FF music sounds a bit crap nowadays, with a little, little exceptions.... damn... Happy easter Jo.
I like the way dave sings it. Its daves song why should he have given his best song that he wrote to kurt. When kurt had all kinds of good music he wrote him self.
Pat Smear (nacido como George Albert Ruthenberg el 05 de agosto de 1959) es un guitarrista de rock estadounidense, exmiembro de la banda Germs y actual miembro de Foo Fighters. También es reconocido por haber tocado en vivo con Nirvana como guitarrista rítmico. 64 AÑOS. (65)
I was there, also still have my ticket for one of the Nirvana shows that never happened in April the year before. Still gutted about what happened, this Foos show partly (and temporarily made up for that I suppose, this is such a excellent song, definitely has a Nirvana vibe going on. Dave still looked like the Nirvana drummer and a little out of place up front of stage, was probably still getting used to it, must've felt odd at first!

Not that I want to attribute Dave to Nirvana... as this was a whole different thing... but reading his book I wonder if this was a bit of a transitional piece. It has the Nirvana chaos feel with the new school Foo end concert feel. I think this bridged this perfectly.
