Foo Fighters - Pretender (Glastonbury 2023) 

I thought exactly the same Taylor is irreplaceable 😔 I put on this track from Wembley 2008 and there you can clearly hear his voice.... it's not the same anymore 🥺

lol its been enough time.

​@@adampisarski214yeah man, his voice did as much for this song as Dave's does. It's missed. It will always be. But I'm glad their at it again

He will be really proud of his friends.

Shifty's doing well, they just need to turn his mic up. You can only hear it right at the end.

yes I agree the backing vocals miss something

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Seen/Unseen” by SLT 🤘🐺

I was thinking this too. Josh is doing great on the drums, but we do miss Taylor's voice (and Taylor himself too obvs!)

I’ve been following Josh Freese since early 2000’s first with The Vandals and then A Perfect Circle and his work with Nine Inch Nails. He will always be one of my favorites. It’s him and Danny Carey for me at the top. I’m so glad he’s been given this opportunity to continue to show the world what he’s made of

@@kevinkibbe2679 Josh Freese is a amazing session drummer, kids unreal. ill be seeing Danny Carey in Boston here this fall for the 3rd time. that's guys also unreal. seen neil pert at the Sabian factory in New Brunswick where I'm from. Dave Weckl is also another great mention but a jazz fusion drummer.

Honestly, all the Foos' hits are like that, they're all well-written.

​@@beezybeez7231 Yeah, ok... you may leave now.

@@stillnotwoke ok I’m leaving

this would be the best foo fighters song if Everlong didn't exist :)

There are many many bands on this planet that are far superior lol

Tal vez Shane, pero más adelante; él tiene intacto el legado de Taylor.

​@@radicalstanza3614 to Josh? Not at all haha. Josh is one of the best musicians on the planet

@@davisjohnson7691 To Josh? For sure there are, though he's obviously very good. But I meant the band. They've never been close to the best on the planet in any way

@@radicalstanza3614 Your wrong there. Josh is more then a rock musician. He’s a professional musician. He’s the best drummer in the rock genre currently, by far. There’s no arguments there. Neil Peart is dead. Nobody can touch him on a technical level. You’d have to look to the jazz genre to find drummers who can match Josh on a technical level. In terms of musicianship, none of the other Foos come remotely close to sniffing Josh. Dave is a subpar guitar player, Taylor was a soulful, but fairly mediocre drummer (Dave is better), Pat Smear isn’t a great guitarist by any means. Back when Rush was around, that was probably the tip top of musicianship in rock music. Everyone in the band was world class at their instrument(s). Also a guy like Frank Zappa. Or a band like Dream Theater, all of them are fantastic musicians (I’d argue they were better than Rush musically everywhere except the drums, Peart is the master of rock n roll drums)

Josh was the perfect match. Everyone knows it. He's just so good and has the history/achievements to back it all up.

Interesting you should say that. It sounds like he comes in too fast here and when everybody else comes in they’re way out of synch for a measure.

@@ViaticalTreethat’s on them. Josh is the time keeper, and he’s playing it like a damn robot, no mistakes whatsoever. Foos need to adjust to the more punkish playing Josh brings. Makes the song better, cause this is a very pop punk adjacent song at its core. Fast drums are good

@@davisjohnson7691 Nah, he needs to adjust to how they play it. It’s their song, not his.

were they? how?

@@prpwnage9296i was there. How were they not you hater??!!!!!!

@@yamahajog04 because they wouldn’t differ from any crowd I don’t get what you mean

@@prpwnage9296 this isn't a crappy stadium/arena gig this is a festival audience. Plus this is the biggest crowd you are ever likely to see in an environment that doesn't feel like a corporate indoor arena where you are told off for doing anything. Climb over the fence next year with me and see for yourself

​@@yamahajog04 No it isn't, any south american crowd would be bigger and louder in any environment... Nevertheless it was a great audience, nice ambient

I went to Leeds Festival in 2007 and was looking forward to finally seeing Jimmy Chamberlin drum with Smashing Pumpkins live. Nine Inch Nails were on before and Josh Freese blew me away. This was post A Perfect Circle. He's always been good and it was obvious who was going to come in to fill Taylor's shoes. Josh can adapt and be whatever anyone needs him to be. He's an amazing diverse drummer. His work in the debut A Perfect Circle album is staggering, considering he's also in The Vandals.

@philyates7670 Josh has few drum-cam vids from his days with NIN. "Wish" is particularly outstanding. Jimmy Chamberlain is ALSO a monster. Lol. That song, "Love" (I think) is a crazy performance.

@@JiffyBiff Geek USA, Stand Inside Your Love, Ode To No One , I Am One and Tonite, Tonite are my favourite Jimmy drum tracks.

​@@JiffyBiffWish is one of my favourite ever drum tracks, along with In My Time Of Dying by Led Zeppelin, Dead Souls by Joy Division, Geek USA/Stand Inside Your Love by Smashing Pumpkins, Enfilade by At The Drive-In, Judith by A Perfect Circle and Pnuema/Schism by Tool.

Yes! I would happily pay a fee, why wouldn't they want to make more $$?

VPN

VPN doesn't work for iPlayer for me

@@prendo2601 me either. I've watched all kinds of things, episodic TV, etc via VPN on the BBC and channel 4 before, but the iPlayer has never worked.

Vpns don’t work :(

@@TheMaestromMephisto Or really, nowhere. But we have memories and artifacts.

@@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossibleThere’s enough evidence to at least entertain the idea that consciousness doesn’t die. Not trying to sound silly, the studies by Dr. Raymond Moody is a great place to start.

I'm So SURE HE is!!!!!

Pseudoscientific nonsense.

*down there, where devil worshippers end up

Great choice of location too

💯

love dave's polite clap of acknowledgement just after

...then STRAIGHT back into it at 4:33 as if the last eighty seconds hadn't happened. No count, no nothing. Absolutely tight as hell.

Yeah he used to sing a bit during their shows a long time ago but stopped once Taylor started singing too.

That's awesome, man! Just awesome!😎👍🏻

😂 yes

There's also Level 42 bassist Mark King, he slaps, sing and chew gum at the same time.

lifelong fan of live music made in that moment

He really is!!!!

I love it!!!
