"Rock & Roll Never Forgets." - Bob Seager. You're not too old to rock out until you're dead and in the grave, and even then a little head-banging if AC/DC comes on is still allowed.
No disrespect to anyone but as a young man from Melbourne Australia that followed AC/DC from pub to pub in the late ‘70s, the Foo Fighters have come closest to the raw atavistic energy of a very beloved part of my youth !
Seen them (Bon Scott) at Middlesbrough Town hall when I was 14, Then again a few years later (Brian Johnson) at Newcastle City Hall. And i have to say. Foo Fighters are not a patch on either line up. Sorry
Malcolm Young is probably the best rhythm guitar player in rock history. I can't think of anyone who comes close, honestly. James Hetfield, maybe. Malcolm was an atomic clock. You couple that with solid drums and bass and it will always sound 50 times bigger than just 3 dudes in the rhythm section. like 80% of Angus' job was rhythm playing, too, though. AC/DC is/was just such a complete band. They played rock solid with no mistakes ever.
@@datamasked623 Rick Parfitt of Status Quo...... Don´t know if you are familiar with them though :) Same setting as AC/DC guitar wise..... Agnus could play on his own, but together with his brother makes the AC/DC sound, just like Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt make the Status Quo twin guitar sound! :)
AC/DC need I say more!! At 62 years old and seeing BonScott live in 79 nothing else came close, until this! Kudos to Foo Fighters , brought back great memories of a legendary time for kick ass rock n roll! I will leave this earth still loving this music’
One of the biggest bands in the world though. Grohl's band has done it all themselves with no real 'help' from an industry that just doesn't market rock bands, nor would he 'whore' himself out in that way. Grohl doesn't have to be a virtuoso guitarist, most rhythm players aren't. He gets on and writes excellent songs.
The happiness Taylor Hawkins displayed at every event he played, unmatched especially in this amazing cover. Man, him & Dave inspired me to play drums especially very recently with all their music they made throughout the years, learned it all and enjoy it everyday doing so. Rest in Peace, Legend. For everyone else, hug your close people you love dearly. ❤️🥁 - Written on the day he passed away.
As an Australian that grew up to this kind of music as the normal... I never thought anyone could do bon Scott justice... I'm impressed... No one can measure to his unique greatness but you guys really did it f***ing well. Can never beat the OG of ACDC let him lest in .... Rock 🤘
Little Richard said that a good song has to have a rhythym you can ride. You could ride Malcolm's rhythyms all night long. Angus was flash (with substance) but Malcolm was steady as a rock.
Onslaughts version was my 1st time hearing this. Ac/dc and Foo's, 2 of the best.... I approve 👍 These bands will never age and will never die off, even after the members have gone.
Can’t say I’m a big Foo Fighters fan ( I may have to re-evaluate my musical tastes )but I love the fact they will cover, or collaborate with, artists from across the musical spectrum. It shows a band with absolutely no ego and a genuine respect for other artists.

WOW! I love my AC/DC but damn this is incredible! Dave is killing it. Great job and I love seeing how much Taylor is just soaking it all in.! He looks so happy! Thank you for all the smiles you’ve given us over the years. What a loss and you will forever be missed ❤️
Wow! No one could ever get close to the power of the original version or do a better job than Bon, but you could see the band were serious about giving this a bloody good crack! Another fine example of just how good a drummer Taylor was. Now he's jamming with Bon on the other side.
A cover should always be either exact, or totally different. This is exact, except for the sound of the singing voice which I will not hold against it. Nobody will ever sound the way Bon Scott did, but this effort is as respectfully close as it gets. Truly an amazing tribute.
You sir have been lucky to have experienced that. For me, a 24 year old from India, i crank this one, or rock or bust, or tnt, or...just anything AC/DC on me speakers. And when I do, i just cant help but get my head bobbing and start air strumming and feel the groove growing up in me body and in no time, my entire body is into it before I realise haha. Solid tunes by these folks from down under since way back when, to get one grooving even today. May you rock on for life just the way you did back in the 70s sir.
I totally agree, but I think Dave just sweats good music, just watched the DeeGees videos,the foos tribute band to the Bee Gees, if you haven't seen them its a must watch..

They played this live in Sydney a year or so ago. I don’t know why exactly, but the way they played it live was so phenomenal. It changed my whole perspective on the song and what AC/DC meant. This song live sounds so fucking awesome, thanks for that memory Foo Fighters
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 Yeah it was unreal, the way the song just keeps building on momentum. So much fun to hear live. Grohl really sells you on the event and spectacle of the concert too, one of those bands to see live just for the sake of it, even if you find the music dull. It’s worth it just to see them at least once. Unforgettable show.
@@holup2691 they were scheduled to play here in April last year, say no more, yes I had tix :( would have been my first show. My first AC/DC show was Back In Black :)
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 Ah, bad luck dude, world will open up soon and they should be first on your list when you can. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
All time Ac/dc fan here. Incredible performance by Hawkins. Very close to the spirit of Rudd, but with his touch, an amazing groove and feeling of his own, but true to the original. Bless you.
When I was a kid I would fantasise about being in a rock band. The problem was I could never decide if I was the drummer or guitar player. I think Dave lives that every day.
I saw ACDC in Albury...before they went to England..I was young..my dad took me to the show..he stood at the background..I ran to the stage..SING AND DANCE..
This is on the edge of perfect for me. Die hard Foos and Dave fan....one of my favourite Bon Scott songs. I love how you can see the concentration and effort to give it their best. I want to see this live!! Please do this live at your Aus concerts. We will bloody love it ❤
Best ACDC cover. Y'all killed it and still no matter how good I find that nobody captures that bass and guitar tone the way the boys do...that's what I find so remarkable about ACDC..how "simple" it is to play yet how impossible it is to recreate the tone and balls
You can tell these dudes really loved ACDC. There's been heaps of covers, but this is by far, the best cover of an ACDC song, ever. Dave almost sounds like Bon in some notes, and no one held back, they all smashed it out and man, I hope this makes an album because it's fucking wicked. Foo's are really close to the top of my favourite bands, probably second behind Motorhead, and because of Dave Grohl, I got into Motorhead so I respect the hell out of all those guys, and their ability. RIP Malcom, I hope you and Bon kicked back and heard this one.
If I wanted to listen to a cover that sounded as close to the original as they could make it, but far worse, I'd just listen to the original. What's the point of listening to a cover that tries to make itself sound like the original?
One of the best covers I've seen, but it still blows me away that the ACDC version is still way heavier and more ballsy and it was recorded in the 70s.
More crunch on the rhythm. Better mic's on the drums, he's killing himself. Wouldn't last a full concert. Brian Johnson on vocals and Angus on lead and would be perfect.
At the age of 19 years old I saw AC/DC at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park for the 1st time live! OUTSTANDING! This is a great cover of a classic! Still love hearing Bon Scott singing this track! 🤘😜🤘 #acdcfanforlife
I have been a fan of ACDC since I could crawl(1980) and Dave groll with the foo fighters that was spot on... Love it and nice one guys for doing an exceptional rendition of one of my all time favourites...perfect guys👍
I think when it comes to covers mr bungle beats em all. No matter what song or genre they cover they do it perfe tly everytime from songs like "what the world needs now" "everybody is working for the weekend" "mister rogers theme" "24000 baci"(italian pop), "welcome back" "hit me baby one more time" "we are the champions" ect
Thing I love about Hawkins was that his 90% sounded like anyone else's 100%. He still had the energy to put in some little subtle licks that you just can't do when going all out. Such a great musician.

I seen them live on the pontoon in Sydney Harbour under the Harbour Bridge before they left for England, never been SO pissed. Rock on
I also saw AC/DC a few times in the pubs of Melbourne back in the 70s, at the South Side Six, Waltzing Matilda and Matthew Flinders.

Says Garegh62 aka vanilla ass, who's only uploads are video golf games - yeah, you hardcore bro'.
Can't agree more. He pumps out the same bland formulaic shit. AC/DC were formulaic...but they had an incredible formula.

Malcom Young was the driving force to AC/DC's sound.
We all used to focus on Angus as kids, but it's really Malcom that's the one to listen to.
Finally!! Someone with real thoughts...i agree with u man
Yah he was the back bone
Like the carbon backbone of an organic molecule. The molecule is never complete without the carbon backbone
Little Richard said that a good song has to have a rhythym you can ride. You could ride Malcolm's rhythyms all night long. Angus was flash (with substance) but Malcolm was steady as a rock.
Yeah, but Bon wrote the lyrics which were often what set their songs apart from the run of the mill rock and roll bands.
Big fan of AC/DC. Big fan of Foo Fighters. Just found this now I feel somewhat complete
especially since AC/DC and Foo Fighters both dropped new music this year :)

that song is not that song without the guitar solo , basically all their songs need the guitar solo loud and proud or its just not acdc

Think seeing Foo Fighters do a full AC/DC set list would be a hell of a show. About the only rock band going that play with as much enthusiasm.
I never thought I would hear a band cover AC/DC and make it sound so good. How can Dave Grohl have vocal chords after singing like that? Wow.
I love the Foo Fighters.
David Subat tenacious D did it to
Why do they always mix Chris so low ? The guy can shred.
He is the "Jason Newsted" of Foo Fighters.!
Man i wonder the same thing. Almost sounds a little bland without him showing through
I know right!!!! Same thing every time I've seen them live
shredding is not for alt rock bro
Foo Fighters is all about rithem and drums. The lead guitar isn't in the spot light.
The foos have been my favorite band for the last 25yrs..amazing cover of this song..god bless these guys, so sad and heartbroken for them..taylor was such a generational talent..I still cant believe hes gone..I've lost so many of my favorites, Layne, chris Cornell, Scott w., and now taylor..such a sad sad day..rest in peace taylor😪
The way man Grohl looks at the boy… appreciation. Nuff said
The amount of talent he has to play guitar and sing is incredible
Ladies... find yourself a guy, who looks at you the way Dave looks at Taylor
who learn Taylor how to play the bongo..
@@Carstensenson Who taught you to type a coherent sentence?
I laughed maybe way too hard at this.
looooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Right?!?
Not a foo fighters fan but he totally nails the vocal style. Probably one of the best things I've heard them do
now go listen to bon sing it with ac/dc. this is TERRIBLE
Hallo SOS! Mother and Father of all creation are here in the physical in person on earth to show the way phone home today! It's been trillions of years journey for Mama Papa to reach all on earth to wake up to this truth!
The drummer is a machine
They played this live in Sydney a year or so ago. I don’t know why exactly, but the way they played it live was so phenomenal. It changed my whole perspective on the song and what AC/DC meant. This song live sounds so fucking awesome, thanks for that memory Foo Fighters
that must have been a treat i bet the crowd went bananas
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 Yeah it was unreal, the way the song just keeps building on momentum. So much fun to hear live.
Grohl really sells you on the event and spectacle of the concert too, one of those bands to see live just for the sake of it, even if you find the music dull. It’s worth it just to see them at least once. Unforgettable show.
@@holup2691 they were scheduled to play here in April last year, say no more, yes I had tix :( would have been my first show. My first AC/DC show was Back In Black :)
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 Ah, bad luck dude, world will open up soon and they should be first on your list when you can. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
Probably the best cover of ACDC that I've heard. Love to hear FF's do Shake a Leg!
All time Ac/dc fan here. Incredible performance by Hawkins. Very close to the spirit of Rudd, but with his touch, an amazing groove and feeling of his own, but true to the original. Bless you.
Respect to Foo Fighters….BRILLIANT!
When I was a kid I would fantasise about being in a rock band. The problem was I could never decide if I was the drummer or guitar player. I think Dave lives that every day.
be the singer
*wise yoda voice* : You can do both
wow he NAILED the vocals as well as everything else!!!! brilliant!!!
I saw ACDC in Albury...before they went to England..I was young..my dad took me to the show..he stood at the background..I ran to the stage..SING AND DANCE..
It's a great cover, it has the energy and raw sound of early AC/DC!
man!!!! how Phil Ruud looks so relaxed while playing this
Phil is a human metronome !!!!
This is on the edge of perfect for me. Die hard Foos and Dave fan....one of my favourite Bon Scott songs.
I love how you can see the concentration and effort to give it their best.
I want to see this live!!
Please do this live at your Aus concerts.
We will bloody love it ❤
Wow that was awesome. Well done Foo Fighters. Loved the drummers energy, he was working it.
How can Dave stay so cool, just go freaking wild......🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Best ACDC cover. Y'all killed it and still no matter how good I find that nobody captures that bass and guitar tone the way the boys do...that's what I find so remarkable about ACDC..how "simple" it is to play yet how impossible it is to recreate the tone and balls
Never been much of a Foo fan but if their tunes rocked THIS hard it’d sure change my mind; awesome cover!!!
Some of them do. Especially the early stuff.
Listen to their greatest hits that might change your mind the foos can rock hard
Goose bumps… What a cover is this.. World-class….🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Man- that kicked some serious ass. Foo Fighters killing it. Couldn't happen to nicer guys!
Energy, power, purpose: the epitome of AC/DC.
The drummer just shows ACDC is full on and not the easiest to play
Yes pure druming on this track sorry it sticks
I've sang and played a lot of AC/DC Covers, this is one of the hardest ones to get right.
@@LOFIGSD off-beat excercise No.1 hahahaha
Yep, and still if Phil Rudd's playing this he will make it look like just another day in the office with a cigarette in his mouth ;)
@@Hutschnur for Phil it is another day at the office
this makes my eyes water !!!!happy tears just a joyous amazing cover again RIP Tayor XX
I particularly enjoyed these carpets on the studio floor. Reminded me of my childhood home.
You can tell these dudes really loved ACDC. There's been heaps of covers, but this is by far, the best cover of an ACDC song, ever. Dave almost sounds like Bon in some notes, and no one held back, they all smashed it out and man, I hope this makes an album because it's fucking wicked. Foo's are really close to the top of my favourite bands, probably second behind Motorhead, and because of Dave Grohl, I got into Motorhead so I respect the hell out of all those guys, and their ability. RIP Malcom, I hope you and Bon kicked back and heard this one.
C'mon. I like Dave, but nowhere near the best. Sounds nothing like Bon.
Lemmys cover of its a long way to the top is epic
Hahahah...Thanks for the laugh,man.
If I wanted to listen to a cover that sounded as close to the original as they could make it, but far worse, I'd just listen to the original. What's the point of listening to a cover that tries to make itself sound like the original?
They really respect real music .....
One of the best covers I've seen, but it still blows me away that the ACDC version is still way heavier and more ballsy and it was recorded in the 70s.
Tracy Street Gibson SG and Angus and Malcom that's all lol
Yep!!!
Especially the Glassgow '78 and Donnington '91 versions!
hazardoustoxicity, Glasgow!!!
Tracy Street its a cover but its a foo fighters version
This was the best that anyone not AC/DC could've done. Bon is bon, impossible to replicate
These guys can do anything!
Bon Scott smiles in this song and sings like an angel.
yet angus cringes at how you cant hear his guitar solo
Give lead guitar a little more volume & it would have been perfection.
No volume , no agressive. There is nobody like Angus brothers!!!!!!!!
The lead was never real prominent in foo fighters
More crunch on the rhythm. Better mic's on the drums, he's killing himself. Wouldn't last a full concert. Brian Johnson on vocals and Angus on lead and would be perfect.
The rhythm guitar needs less gain. Malcolm pull the strings so hard, the gain came for itself👌
@@rickmccain5316 So is it Dave Grohl on rhythm, needs to play harder. Actually I think it's the recording, anyway...
At the age of 19 years old I saw AC/DC at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park for the 1st time live! OUTSTANDING! This is a great cover of a classic! Still love hearing Bon Scott singing this track! 🤘😜🤘 #acdcfanforlife
Once in a while I play this just to remind myself why I love rock music so much. It is a fantastic cover of a fantastic song by a fantastic band.
OMG I wasn't expected that but never disapointed with the FF
Julie i wasn't expected that either
Fear Factory? FF
Mick Taylor foo fighters
The amount of talent in this band is insane!
I have been a fan of ACDC since I could crawl(1980) and Dave groll with the foo fighters that was spot on... Love it and nice one guys for doing an exceptional rendition of one of my all time favourites...perfect guys👍
Have a listen to Henry Rollins with the Hard Ons.
So long Taylor, your charisma and energy on the drums were awesome!! RIP
As far as I love the Foo's, turning down the volume of the lead guitar while playing AC/DC is kinda .. off-topic
Chris Shiflett, "the Jason Newsted of Foo Fighters"... Come on Dave, increases the sound of his guitar!!!
I literally have chills going down my spine! I can't say it's better than the original...but DAMN!! That's amazing!!
Probably the best cover of AC/DC I've listened to. RIP Taylor.
Shut up ffs
You can't have listened to much then I've seen plenty on here that are well ahead of these guys.
Not only do I love their Foo music, they are proving to be one of the best cover bands on earth!!
I think when it comes to covers mr bungle beats em all. No matter what song or genre they cover they do it perfe tly everytime from songs like "what the world needs now" "everybody is working for the weekend" "mister rogers theme" "24000 baci"(italian pop), "welcome back" "hit me baby one more time" "we are the champions" ect
These are the kind of videos I want in my recommended
Thing I love about Hawkins was that his 90% sounded like anyone else's 100%. He still had the energy to put in some little subtle licks that you just can't do when going all out. Such a great musician.
AC/DC's best song.Nailed it.
1977... thats rock n roll. Great cover guys!
Well done Foo... you make us die hard AC/DC FANS proud... that was the best cover ever....
Was expecting a lot less than this. Absolutely nailing it Foo Fighters!
One of the best tributes/covers to AC/DC. Long live rock'n'roll and electric guitar. ;) :)
