Foo Fighters have been my favourite band and probably always will be. Where I think Dave sings his with an active emotion, and clearly shows that studio strength and in live shows too, I also think this version has as much emotion. They approach it with that emotion of sadness and sympathy rather than the active strength that Dave so well projects. And I think in each of their versions, it has its own incomparable value
everytime i listen to this i get goosebumps everytime i love this song and its even better when kelly jones sings it :) love the stereophonics baby!!!!
Yeah, I agree. I love the Stereophonics and the Foo Fighters and they both have amazing voices, I like this version, but no one sings it like Dave does
Took me a while to decide whether I even wanted to read any comments, seeing as there would probably be tons of kids bashing one or the other performer. I like both. Both nice to listen to, both make me think, both voices sound good to my ear and the whole thing is good either way. So there.
think its about, dont let people getting the best of you. You know, not to care about what people say about you, and just keep on doing what you doing. Cuz often people dont like you to get succes if they dont to. they always trying to bring you down
@Alargh agreed. i like both versions, but i always wondered how the song would sound more mellow and not screamed. This is an interesting take on the song. and i like it
I liked the way they toned down the angst and played a quieter version of the song and thought they did great for being live. In fact I didn't realize it was live until the very end. If you like Foo Fighters you should check out my cover of Another Round on my channel.
i am a recent convert to the phonics however i would say we are definately not getting the best of the band out of this song , they do not make this cover thier own unlike the version of nothing compares to you, but the pinnacle of performances is the live version of maybe tommorrow live from dakota , one man owning an entire arena with one voice and a guitar please check it out its magnifico
look up the lyrics. Songs don't have one specific meaning, it's all about how the audience (you) perceive it. To me, this song sounds like it's about comforting someone close to you who you really care about .
the lyrics are perfect for stereophonics' style........and Jones sing the lyrics with more sadness, instead of David Grohl, who sing it with anger...... it's a quite sad lyric, so Jones sing it better than Grohl to me (and I'm a Foo's fan). Moreover, this is a special song to me; It tells the emotions that I feel for a very special person who's with another boy, who always badly behave with her... thanks welsh guys, you perfectly explains my feelings.....
I think Kelly does have some bad habits when it comes to singing, but it's his voice, and it's his style, and I think it's beautiful, and this cover is actually one of my favourite things the stereophonics have done, along with Maybe tomorrow and Dakota, I think this cover is simply amazing.
@Rauscherklaus yes it is a masterpiece! everyonr is entitled to their opinion. foo fighters are one of the best. but stereophonics aint crap! this is a totally different style and i will GUARANTEE the whole FF band love this version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) and by the way, sheep not goats lol (i jest)
@Alargh Dave Grohl isn't singing with just anger, he's singing with a built up frustration that people aren't letting others see the best of them which is exactly what this song is about, so the way this guy is singing it almost doesn't make sense. Dave Grohl sings it with so much more emotion it almost seems like this guy is just reading from a phone book.
if i'd win a million $, i'd spend at least the half for a private audience of kelly for my little fucked up village here in austria - to open their mind for whats real talent, and real skill of voice is. fuck those charts and supercommerce. kelly's voice is unexplainable TOP. (sorry for bad english)
@ssmit422 You know it's a cover right? Meaning the covering band can sing it in their own way? Listen to the lyrics, they're more suited for a more emotional voice rather than purely anger. Grohl is a legend, don't get me wrong (massive Foo Fighters fan here) but I do like this version just as much. We're all entitled to opinions though, and if you want to spend more time commenting on your dislike for it than actually listening to the song, fair enough :P

Charles Fernandez great comment sir
Somehow, the Stereophonics always manage to cover wonderful songs like this one...
And, oh my god... This voice... It gets me everytime !
Kelly does this perfectly. I'm sure Mr.Grohl would approve.
everytime i listen to this i get goosebumps everytime i love this song and its even better when kelly jones sings it :) love the stereophonics baby!!!!
its a stunning song and you feel it with the breaking and softness in his voice
two of my favorite bands, it cant get any better
The husky sound in Kelly Jones' voice makes this cover all the more better.
Lovely. X
it blows my mind miles away!
this is quality, the lead singer has an amazing voice and its suits this song perfectly.
This song is amazing, it was before and this is one 'cover version' that doesn't actually spoil the original. I love it. And so sad...
An awesome band covering another awesome band's song! How awesome can that be? Well, DOUBLE AWESOME, of course!!
awww i love kellys voice, its real, pained by a weary world, i love this song too, best cover i have heard in a while xx
Yeah, I agree. I love the Stereophonics and the Foo Fighters and they both have amazing voices, I like this version, but no one sings it like Dave does
thank you for covering this.. perfect song for your perfect voice
It doesnt get better than this!
Love his raspy soulful voice
what an awesome cover of an amazing tune
love the foo fighters and this cover version

certainly the best voice of the millenium ... so far.
Foo fighter and Stereophonics are incomparable, just enjoy the cover for gods sake haha
what a class cover:)
i love ya'll's cover- way to go. i hope ya'll are still playing
Took me a while to decide whether I even wanted to read any comments, seeing as there would probably be tons of kids bashing one or the other performer.
I like both. Both nice to listen to, both make me think, both voices sound good to my ear and the whole thing is good either way. So there.
omg i love it
genius!
No! They've taken it down! :( Can't find it on the BBC live lounge cd they relesed, nor on itunes. The phonics really should relese it somehow! :(
talking about kelly jones... the legend... dear god
really like it
Those critics must be deaf. I love two voices in music and Kelly's is one of them.
lets all make the phonics 'best of' album number 1!!
think its about, dont let people getting the best of you. You know, not to care about what people say about you, and just keep on doing what you doing. Cuz often people dont like you to get succes if they dont to. they always trying to bring you down

stereophnics are good this song !!
I wanna hear an electric version of this.
I think Kelly does have some bad habits when it comes to singing, but it's his voice, and it's his style, and I think it's beautiful,
and this cover is actually one of my favourite things the stereophonics have done, along with Maybe tomorrow and Dakota, I think this cover is simply amazing.
Naci para RESISTIR Y SALIR!
This is a good cover from them but .. No-one can beat The Foos!
rest in peace stuart cable
Love this song. Really want it on my Ipod but can't find anywhere to buy it?
the phonics have just taken a really powerfull song and toned it down with calm singing ....yet it remains powerfull :)
great over
Best
nicee

Better than the original :)
@Rauscherklaus
yes it is a masterpiece!
everyonr is entitled to their opinion. foo fighters are one of the best. but stereophonics aint crap!
this is a totally different style and i will GUARANTEE the whole FF band love this version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
and by the way, sheep not goats lol (i jest)
I am genuinely sad this isn't on itunes :'(
@JonnyandhisGuitar

...I like this version better. In my defence, I'm in love with Kelly Jones' voice.

Dear Alicia, my Ally Cat, I hope you happen to read this as this song was your favorite, I still LOVE YOU...JO...

This is just "one of those songs" you just DON'T touch!
does anyone know where to find the chords for this version? :)
tough call but dave has the roughness that im used to in this song
anyone knows the chords of this version??
thanks
@wantsomebugs Eh? I realise I found the song but I can hardly convert it to my Ipod from RUclips can I?
@MuZZerman96 Dave Grohl walks amongst us a GOD !! Still this is a good cover - Fan of both bands - seen both live - & both excellent..
no from there from wales
agree.. foo's version is much better.. you can really feel they passion they play it with..
@MetroidMills yea, he's wales's answer to mark lanegan haha
@Alargh Dave Grohl isn't singing with just anger, he's singing with a built up frustration that people aren't letting others see the best of them which is exactly what this song is about, so the way this guy is singing it almost doesn't make sense. Dave Grohl sings it with so much more emotion it almost seems like this guy is just reading from a phone book.
his voice is rought but amazing for this song
wonderfull... better than foo fighters i think! u__U
rad. x
if i'd win a million $, i'd spend at least the half for a private audience of kelly for my little fucked up village here in austria - to open their mind for whats real talent, and real skill of voice is.
fuck those charts and supercommerce.
kelly's voice is unexplainable TOP.
(sorry for bad english)
@Kimperator Bad English are from Australia?
I prefer this one, but dave wrote a great song though, what is it about?
@MrBennie9 go to zamzar.com to convert the file to mp3 mate. works for me.
@ssmit422 You know it's a cover right? Meaning the covering band can sing it in their own way? Listen to the lyrics, they're more suited for a more emotional voice rather than purely anger.

I like it but the foos is where it's at
What a highly intelligent reply, can my daughter have your seed?
Did he skip a few lyrics? It sounds different.
@MrBennie9 rofl you found it already xD ^
