He tried to update the song by singing with vibrato and altering the overall tone / feel of the original. The audience must be thinking wtf? This song stinks, play Everlong! This is a fail and Grohl played a horrible version of a SB song.
Sorry Peter. I have loved Squirrel Bait since 1987, but the "adult contemporary country" vocals absolutely ruin this song. And Dave, you spread-far-too-thin Runaway Ego - you're not helping...
Dude, don't be a fucking dick. Look, I'm from the same scene in the same era, and my voice and hearing is so shot that I couldn't manage what Pete did. Plus, when was the last time this guy did a stadium show? On the huge Squirrelbait reunion tour? He's just a normal suburban dad trying to give the audience an enjoyable experience-give him a a break.
This has been my favorite song for years, but never seen anyone play it other than Bait themselves
Some friends of mine in college used to do a really good cover of it.
Im glad this exists
Squirrel Bait’s music got me through high school.
The original is on a different level.....and perhaps Dave is happy with that!
It’s cool and all, but the kid angst and power of the original recording is was sweeet

Chills up my spine here, what a moment.
I was there! 10-26-17. Birmingham Alabama!
Michael Marrs I was at the show may 85 at the jockey club in Newport, KY.
Holy shit this exists ducking amazing
OH MY GOD. This is awesome
like a gospel song for indie rockers 🌞🛐
Omg I never knew this existed. People think I'm insane when I say a random high school band from Kentucky is the proto-Nirvana and now I have proof 😂
Good stuff that's for sure!
Nope. Not the same.
Yeah, I hear you. I think I like knowing it happened more than having just watched it.
No fucking shit. 3 decades went by and the singer's voice changed
This sounds like the tragically hip
Listen to the original recording. Absolutely nothing like them at all.
@@beaufredericks4547 it wasn't a criticism
Just listened to the original again and I think it sounds like Lick era Lemonheads. Also not a criticism.
@@beaufredericks4547 yeah saw em during high school days in Kentucky...dag nasty, Sluggo also.
Shit. JUST TAKE IT AWAY.
Where was this?
Birmingham AL

@@LeftCoastGator big fat thumbs up. He could sing it backwards and I'd still give an arm to see it.
I Hate the Bait
