"I'll Stick Around" Sonic Highways Outtakes 

Agreed

Metalheart333 Agreed

Vad Wanuu agreed

It was grunge, of course

Totally Agreed

RastaSaiyaman run? ill stick around

He could off himself like everyone who were part of the grunge scene, you never know

Now that we've seen this happen multiple times and look back at their music and behavior, it is guaranteed Dave is happy and has no reason to think of doing anything like that. HUGE difference in personalities and behavior. THANK GOD!!!

And fresh out of Nirvana and the early 90's grunge scene

As Dave wrote those songs during the Nirvana era I guess he pretty much had that Nirvana formula still in mind. It wasn't about complexity, it was about writting punk but also melodic simple riffs that made you want to start breaking shit. There was something beautiful about that simplicity. Just a good riff, a kickass drumline and weird lyrics...

Some of the chords in this song aren't very simple though, especially the verses!

february stars

Awesome comment!!! At his Pop purity is perfect. The 3 min pop formula all hooks lol lil verses ala Cheap Trick etc master's of American Pop n the formula. Shit stays in ur head forever. He is a huge Springsteen and the E Street Band especially my fave The River album..album #5 Springsteen 11 outtakes Pop masterpieces plus the cuts from the album all the Pop...Cheap Trick n Raspberries American Pop. Bruce was tryin for the 3 min gem. Dave loves that Lp as well as me. Stevie Van Zandt the genius producer n Pop Godfather behind the best they ever dropped!

i second that!!!!

Their first album is the only album I like of them honestly.

SN2903 duude check out wasting light

SN2930 Varmando God I thought i was the only one,we should start a club :p

First album was the best. Second album also great.

Johnny Macalvee I agree with you there.

"Tomorrow, make my bed"

Jerry Stackhouse? Well he showed promise in his first seasons but never became a big time player.

Zonum1 well at that time we didn’t know that lol. Hindsight gives me me better deal

I got In Utero in 2017 just as my junior year of highschool came to a close. Bought it with the money for one of my first paychecks. Such an unbelievably rough, raw and LOUD album. Then I heard months later that Dave Grohl the drummer dude with long hair actually had his own band, and I was like... WTF is this shit? Kurt dies and he forms another band? But then I actually listened to Everlong and let’s just say since then I loved Dave’s work and the Foo’s and ive got such a deeper appreciation for music now because of it

@@BoxOfCurryos So which do you like better, Nirvana or Foo Fighters?

Zonum1 depends on my mood. Most days I will listen to Foo’s since they are more upbeat, and positive. Nirvana can be really depressing sometimes. I listen to them when I’m down and out. So it really depends. It’s genuinely hard to say because i value both bands equally. However on a enjoyment basis, i enjoy foo fighters more often, because I’m not a emo, angsty, depressed teenager anymore. I also don’t romanticize Cobain’s suicide anymore, and I can see him for the man he was. A troubled artist, who made some bad choices, but ultimately touched perhaps a billion people’s lives. Dave on the other hand is a hard working, down to earth musican who’s message and vibe is always about dealing with grief and then moving on from the pain. It’s a really hard question to answer. But hands down.... In Utero is my favorite album of all time. No any album any band puts out, it will never come close to beating that album.

Ryan Robertson it was most definitely the first radio play for a song that became a foo song.

Sunday nights on KISW in the early-to-mid- ‘90’s was different for mainstream Seattle radio.

I didn't hear this, but I remember my Mom driving me in the car listening to KROQ Los angeles, and the DJ made a special announcement that the music they were about the play was the first stuff released from any nirvana member since Kurt's death. I then heard the opening notes to "this is a call". It was awesome, but all the music on the radio in 1993/94/95 was awesome. All the music then had a weird, darkness about it. All I can say is that it fit the times. The times themselves were weird, and dark.

Definitely one of my favorite bands, and I love Nirvana too.

It is a great opinion

Best what? Best rock band? Maybe. Probably between them and Queens of the Stone Age as far as bands that are still around go. I'm partial to Ween, too. They aren't as active in the studio anymore as far as I know, though.

All Grohl baby

Look up "I'll Stick Around 1994 demo"

FooFightersLive.com Summer 94? Damn I thought Dave said he stayed away from music for like 7 or 8 months after Kurts death, I guess not.

thats pretty much the real end of Nirvana, that thought there. Thats the last thing Kurt wanted.

“Marigold” B-side

Ive always felt the actual album was poorly mixed. Its very muffled.

Michael Langley Honestly I feel like the muddled sound adds to the charm of the first record. I would still love to hear a remaster.

Yeah the rawness is what appeals to me the most, there's very little between the song and your ears to embellish on it or make it overly complicated which shows off the songwriting better for me.

Oaf Lodge Dave has gone overboard in trying to make FF records sound overly clean and slick. Nevermind, from his Nirvana days, was the inspiration, but Dave has taken it way too far.

@@medinacarlitos2002 The whole of the pre mixed album does exist in bootleg form.

Some don’t but “lead singer syndrome” is real and the love themselves for it and like to hear them sing. Me personally don’t like my recorded speaking voice but like my singing voice.

@@mumbles215 LSD is real, my friend, and since I don’t have it i usually stay in the background and just play my instrument and hide in the harmonies. two things: 1: in the past i did not like my singing voice; now it’s my favorite. 2: i’ve never liked my speaking voice but over time i’ve come to accept it and now i’m ok with it. it helps that i know someone who loves my speaking voice, so i guess it’s not so bad … ☮️❤️

If Kurt didn't die the songs Dave wrote would have probably popped up on the next couple albums by Nirvana. Crazy to imagine Kurt singing them

*since Kurt died, he gave his power to Dave*

​@@heyyo6979 I think maybe they would have collaborated somehow, but Kurt would have kept Nirvana as his own thing.

@@heyyo6979 Not because Kurt had plans to separate the band But in a hypothetical case it can be

I’ve made a lot of great recordings on that machine, including all the Dave demos, the Nirvana songs, and the presidents of the United States of America songs. It was a solid and well built machine for what it was and way better than other 8 tracks of the era.

@@laundryroomstudio cool. For the 8 tracks 1/2" the Tascam 48, 58 and TSR8s were better. But the 38 was the most common. I still have a couple of TSR8s up and running. They sound great i agree, but the transport was very cheap

Sorry, but I have no idea. It was something the radio station had

Laundry Room Studio damn. sounds absolutely killer though :/

and wow... I mean.. .Is 1994!!! the year kurt died... maybe he sort of blocked in his mind that year?

​@@alfredhitchcockpresents9318 Well yeah. Usually when people go through tough times like Dave in all of 1994, they'll usually try their best to forget it to make themselves feel better

Joseph Atnip wow. I bet you had a lot of imaginary friends as a kid 😂

When what comes to light? His feud with Courtney is well documented, and they have grown up, made up, and moved on with their lives. Just read the lyrics, the song is about two, kind of three, things: 1. his feud over rights to Nirvana stuff. 2. Her career elevation tactics: 2A) The over-the-top grieving, something he didn't wish to do himself, and believed it was an act to gain sympathy and elevate her career. And 2B) His accusation that her association with Nirvana was simply to elevate her own career. There's another part of the song, that it he's sure they'd get over it in time - and as mentioned before, they did.

Gage23 is the same Song that appears on first album

Gage23 .....its a small world when coincidences appear..like when you see your sons name and jersey number ...

It is before it was mastered on the debut album.

WTF? Why would I be "trying to undermine the song" while promoting it on a radio station and talking about how great Dave is? what a stupid thing to say. Dave was the one who drawn a SYMBOL for the song title at the time, like Prince changed his name to a symbol, and I was just making a joke about the Zildjian thing, and could care less about him "riding the crash".

@@laundryroomstudio I didn't know it was you Barrett speaking, I thought it was the host of the show LOL... in that case I retract my statement.. Since you recorded and you are close to Dave, you can say that.. I thought it was the DJ who was saying that in a sarcastic way... My bad. lol
