![Dimension 20: Never Stop Blowing Up Trailer [Dropout Exclusive Series]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xYeXpbHnGEM/mqdefault.jpg)
I sat next to Dave on a flight from Seattle to LA once. It was my first time flying alone, I was probably 12 or 13, and I was very nervous. At this point I had no clue who the Foo Fighters or Nirvana were, so I literally had no clue who he was. He could tell I was super uneasy, so he talked to me and was super reassuring, asking me my name and introducing himself, just generally being a really friendly guy. He talked about how he played music, but never mentioned the bands, and never really played up how famous he was. He helped me get my carryon out of the luggage compartment and told me to have a fun time as I was going to disneyland with my uncle who lived in irvine, and that was it. I saw a couple people ask him for a picture when we got off the plane, but I never realized who he was until a year or so later when I mentioned a "Dave" who played music and took some pictures with people to some friends who asked me if it was him, and it just blew my mind. Really, really genuine guy, and an experience I'll never forget.
Beautiful, thank you so much sharing. What a special moment in time!
He is truly a wonderful human being. What a great memory, thanks for sharing!
This is amazing. Glad to see he is the kind of person I hoped he would be.
Pretty cool he was reassuring you because Dave loves to fly but is also afraid to fly.
@@FooCards88 He learned to fly too.
Dave is so good he plays the drums on a guitar.
yes
Such a wickedly accurate, honest statement from him!!
Not that it's important for the song, but James Hetfield (rhythm guitarist from Metallica) actually said the same. In a commercial for Yousician, he said: "I basically play drums on guitar."
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic ” by SLT 🤘🐺
He's the best guitarist drummer
Played this version at my brothers funeral yesterday. The perfect song for the perfect brother. ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss and pain. I hope the music can be a little bit of balm for your heart.
I'm sorry❤
My condolences honey ❤️ let the music take u back to good memories
I’m sorry 😢
I hope you find peace and his memory lives on brother.
It’s funny how we can take a song and it can mean something so different in our lives. The first time I heard this was on the hour long drive to Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital, after 3.5 years our daughter was having her final chemo. “Could anything ever be this good again” … hubby and I smiled while our daughter and our son (10 months younger than our girl) sang the Do do do's in the backseat. It was our victory song! That same little girl is a beautiful and brilliant 31 year old who's getting married in October (to a drummer 🤷🏼♀️😂), we'll have a family dance to “our song… Everlong 😊 thanks Dave ❤️!
How was the wedding day?
@@EdgarHammer847 it was just the best😊 thanks so much for asking! We consider ourselves very blessed.
Music is such an incredibly powerful human creation. It unites us. It transports us. It elevates us. Your story is a special one that embodies all of that. Thank you.
@@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable you nailed it. Nothing can unite us like music can. So many Foo songs happened at the right time for me.
So its 5 months later I have the flu and Im sobbing at this comment.
This guy is really good, he should be in a band or something.
bro it's Dave Grohl
@@kharnegreylhada6559 You missed his joke there
@@kharnegreylhada6559 REALLY????¿¿¿¿???
He was drummer of Nirvana with Kurt
@@pradeepkumarsingh6024noo, are you lying to me??
“I don’t know anything about guitar, I’m not a trained musician, I can’t read music, I don’t know what these chords are” proceeds to write one of the most iconic songs of all time. Rock on Dave.
Wow! I gotta admit guys, I never thought my comment would get this kind of response. I’m just happy to know everybody is such a fan. Here’s to many more years of Foo!
Makes me feel better as a musically illiterate guitarist of 20+ years lol.
It usually takes fresh ears to come up with something very original. Trained musicians tend to stick to the classic chords they were taught. Dave basically created his own because he had no "rules" to follow.
@@BornIn1500 that's a great way to put it
I've played with a young man who doesn't know the difference between F# and Dm but can write kick ass songs! He plays all instruments and sings.. Check him out here on RUclips or Spotify. Diamond Nugget
IIRC same story with Van Halen. Taught on the piano but never learned guitar via a formal setting.
to the girl that broke up with dave thank you so so much!!!
❤️🤘🤘🤘
❤
Howard Stern: " I's this song about Kurt Cobain ?
That song is like wine, the more you hear it the better it gets.
you listen to wine?
@@Sans-rt8os Nah I just like to drink music.
@@xeroeightfive085 me too
Dave Grohl is probably the most sincere and authentic rock star around. My Hero.
kudos
i see what you did there
I don’t even like his music that much but I’ll agree. He’s down to earth.
Watch him as he goes!
"Watch him as he goes"
As a self trained guitarist the chords are: sounds good, sounds good, and sounds good.
As someone currently self training (Still terrible I may add) I appreciate this. Its exactly my thought process when just playing each chord to this song. Plays 1 chord "sounds good" the next "sounds good" and the rest "sounds good." Okay, now with the strumming pattern...."sounds nothing like everlong" RIP
@@fullbeans983 Try it with more mushrooms next time
What key is this song in? B cool? Got it...
Can confirm. Source: I asked my ears.
OOOOOHHHHHHHHH. I knew that was it. I just couldn't remember the names lmao
Went to a mental institution for like a month when I was 15. I’d spend all my time in the main room hovering over the little radio they had. I wouldn’t let anyone change the station 103.9. I’d wait each day for em to play this beautiful song and I’d feel way better than all the meds they ever gave me ever did. This was right when it came out. And the acoustic version is the best!
Amazing story here. An untrained musician being on of the best
❤ awesome mate.
i had years inside, i had acute schiztophrenia, was a hard time..Xxx
Music is the universalhealing language , thank you for sharing, hope you are doing well today❤❤❤❤@@dfleckhj
The acoustic version gave us chills hearing it on the stern show way back then we included it in my daughter's funeral, because at this tone it really felt like a sad but beautiful description of our brief trip here together in the physical ❤we were planning to take her to see Dave that same year but she didn't stay long enough. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful song with the world
Sorry for your loss
So sorry mate
Your story is more sad than the song.😢
I'm sorry that's so sad
💔 🙏🏿 🖤 🤍
“Im not a trained musician” says the legend who played drums and lead/guitar for two of the most influential bands of the 90s and 00s. Dave kills it
Dave is just fucking around and finding out.
Passion will always overcome adversity. Not to in any way minimize legit adversity, but more to say hang on to your passion. Formal training, proper connections, ideal physick, or whatever looks like it's holding you back, don't let it. Magic comes from so many unexpected places.
@@haggleboggle most rock musicians I play with never had formal lessons either. Same for me. I had a guy show me a couple chords and just took over from there. Same with drums. I was shown how to ride the high hat while alternating bass and snare and the rest is just practice and discovery. My first entire band was like that. We figured out what we were doing as we went. It goes really fast too. You improve so fast as long as you put in the practice. It’s probably way more fun that way actually.
He is awesome, but not the lead Guitarist of the Foo Fighters.
@@Grasshoppa65 lead singer + guitarist. Clearly i need to be more elaborate for keyboard warriors
It’s bonkers to me that he’s this incredible and successful musician and yet doesn’t know what chords are which. It’s pretty damn inspiring, really.
Learning what chords you play is definitely helpful, but you still know what sounds good.
That's why the best songs seem to come from untrained musicians I personally think 🤘
@@MultiMeg101
Ever listen to the Kinks
@@bryanluntz1603 Yes mate
It's inspiring really. I've been playing guitar for a little over a year now, and I think that I should learn all the notes ans scales so that I can play good, but then I step back for a bit, find a random chord that I have no idea what it is called and roll with it, and it sounds great.
Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into
And out of the red
Out of her head, she sang
Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow, how you wanted it to be
I'm over my head
Out of her head, she sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever be this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head
Out of my head, I sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Bro I just cried singing the lyrics
fuck my life
Feel You@@travismademe
@@travismademe you feel
A story of everlong, a story of a man who persevered through a pain beyond all pain. To keep going after most would think its all lost. He could have quit after Kurt died, but he powered through and drove forward into an amazing force that is the Foo Fighters. Props to you Dave, love ya man
“I’m not a trained musician”
- said one of the best drummers ever
@Your Dad Feel free to list 100 drummers of which all are better than Dave Grohl
At least here on #9.. Dave Grohl
www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/best-drummers-in-music/
And here, Dave Grohl at #6 damsonglobal.com/blog/post/drummers/
And #7 www.musicradar.com/news/the-15-best-rock-drummers-of-all-time-as-voted-for-by-you
@Your Dad
Just deal with it, there are people that really think Dave Grohl is a great drummer. And you comparing to lists in general as a point isnt a statement to be taken seriously.
Of course - you can have your own opinion.
"Don't know anything about guitar"
Dave Grohl
Lead singer, guitarist and drummer in over two of the most successful and iconic bands in the world
Still rocks that guitar!
Three bands
@@juderichards6588 It's four...
@@benedekgabor. what’s the fourth? i know that he’s been in nirvana, queens of the stone age, and foo fighters.
@@danielg0606 a hardcore punk band called scream
there’s something about this song that just doesn’t compare to any other song out there, it is such a special song
That song actually saved my life. I was in a dark place.. I still struggle and I stilllisten to it everyday
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic ” by SLT 🤘🔥🎸
This song is like depression and happiness at the same time
Those are the best songs I've realized, because you get the whole entirety of life in one. Both the good and the bad. Sad that it's over but also happy for what was, and for the future to come.
Yes that’s it exactly!
I believe the term is ‘bittersweet’.
Definitely is
its melancholic
My wife's song to me before she passed unexpectedly at a young age. Hard to listen to , yet I still do every day. I miss you more than I can bare.
❤️💔
sorry for your loss
so sorry for your loss. God bless you
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss, man
I'm sitting here, listening to this as tears are streaming down my face. You truly have a way of moving people Dave Grohl, and I thank you for doing all that you do. 🤟
Nothing or no one that’s any better !!!
words cannot describe how much I love this song
I walked down the aisle to this song on Halloween 2020. My husband knew this was my favorite song, so he learned to play it on the guitar in one night and surprised me with a "concert" when I got home from work one night. Tomorrow, I have to make his funeral arrangements.I've been putting off listening to this particular song since he was put on hospice two weeks ago. It was painful but cathartic. I'm glad I decided to watch this particular video instead of the original video❤
Fuck cancer
I'm sorry for your loss. What a great guy to learn and play that for you! I hope listening to Everlong again (and you must), brings out the sweet memories of him after the tears fade.
I’m so sorry. 💔
Damn girl, I am so sorry!
Music has a way of helping us transcend the crap hand life gives us sometimes. The Foo Fighters (and Everlong) in particular is an incredible song and your husband loved you so much that he learned to play it for you. What an amazing gift. I too suffered a horrible loss to the love of my life - my high school sweetheart - my husband - the father of our 2 beautiful daughters - my best friend…to an illness. Time will pass and you might find that it hurts a little less, but this song will anchor you to him forever and your feelings will eventually become more melancholy than sad. It’s been nearly 6 years since our loss and I can finally listen to Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley’s version) without breaking down into a puddle of tears and find that feeling that bonded us to that song with a smile in my heart.
I’m so sorry for your loss. And you’re right…Fv
@@amynanocchio5808 God bless you Amy....lots of love and thoughts coming your way...
Take note kids. This musical genius can play the drums from cords he created on a guitar without being able to comprehend writing music....THEN he matched lyrics on command......this is what REAL talent looks like.
he was a drummer first lol
@@Rizzonomics22 listen to the story, he created the guitar stuff first and added the drum track later
@@Dave_ja_vu he played the guitar chords off what the drums sound like
@@Dave_ja_vu He’s saying dave grohl was a drummer before he was a guitarist. not about how the song was made.
Same as Eddie Van Halen
David Grohl is the most talented UNTRAINED MULTI-INSTRUMENT player that there has been in a long long time.
this might actually be the best song ever, in the history of humankind
“I’m not a trained musician” means “everything I do is just because of raw talent and inspiration.”
It’s really inspiring. I mean most of the greats aren’t trained musicians, just people who were inspired and picked up a guitar.
He is trained, just not in the traditional sense of going to a school and being taught music theory. At the end of the day though, every great musician and composer uses the same things: their ears and their heart
Sometimes being trained makes you just think like everyone else.
Gotta respect his honesty. That really means that his songs have somethig special. I've been trying for so long to learn reading music, believing that i would be somehow better. Now, this video, almost gives me an excuse to skip learning intervals, modes, arpeggios. Even though I enjoy watching Adam Neely and Rick Beato explaining what appears to be rocket science :) anyone agrees?
Yeah dude, now i see it's not a problem as longs i can have fun and use my talent
I'm so glad that Dave didn't end his music career after Kurt's death.
Like Novoselic
@@juanbautistamaciel6767 it’s a damn shame novoselic never picked the bass back up. One of the best bass players of all time
@@cannonkelly5079 I wouldn't say he "never "
@@cannonkelly5079 He's not the best lmao. Man just played the root notes all his career
@@juanbautistamaciel6767 Noveselic’s actually gone on to play a brief stint with Flipper, has also recorded vocals, bass and accordion on a few Foo songs. I think he has a band currently going called Giants in the Trees.
i discovered the foo fighters when I was in sixth grade. My brother listened to their greatest hits album on repeat when he drove me to school and we jammed out to that music. I grew up with them, I distinctly remember listening to Sonic Highways before my eighth grade football games, and Concrete and Gold before my HS football games. I take them with me everywhere. I'm almost done with college now, stressed out of my mind and overwhelmed on all four corners. This music takes me back to simpler times.
i started playing drums when i was seven or so, i don’t play any other instrument. when dave explained how he perceives the lower strings as drums and the higher strings as cymbals, i realized that i would think of it the same way. i’m simply used to drum grooves and if i knew a few chords on the guitar, i’d probably played them like drum grooves. i think that’s why i feel oddly special especially about this song. damn, this man and his music is so inspiring
Dave “ So I was eating breakfast and I started tapping my spoon on the milk carton..and next thing I won 3 Grammies.”
Lmao! Great comment and totally true!
Sounds legit
Pretty sure this is how Chris Cornell wrote spoon man.
@@andrewalvarez4975 Chris Cornell s music still influences me today just as much as it did when I was a teen
What kind of cereal? I want a Grammy.
one of the best songs ever written
Solid... But slow down it's not like a Lennon McCartney tune or something.
@Hayden nah man this song's a gem
@@antonioval3035 Why did Lennon McCartney write the Golden Slumbers Medley? When a drummer is just gonna knock em out in 30 years with a couple chords he can't even name cause he thinks the high strings are cymbals and the low strings are drums... That by his own admission he ripped off from Sonic Youth. Yeah you really got us there!
Definitely plus it’s my favorite song by them.
@Hayden music is completely subjective. To this person, it’s one of the best songs ever written. There’s no way to prove that it’s not. No need to argue over it
Every once in awhile i put this video on and try my best to play with him i never really had a relationship with my dad but what little time i got to spend with him was us playing guitar and ine of the few memories i still have of him is him showing me this song its been a little less than a year since he passed and i never really told anyone how its crushed me but this song still gives me a little flicker of a memory every time i hear that beat
Sorry for your loss, I just lost my Dad and this came up on my feed and your comment obviously stood out to me. I love how music can take you back to those moments and memories.
This song will always bring me back to a better time in life
Like clockwork. I mentioned in another comment that I can't think of a single bad time in my life that I was listening to this song. It's always been a highlight of the highlights, if you will.
💯
I couldn’t have said it any better.
Yeah. The 90's and early 2000's was a good time to be alive.
I know for me it just reminds me of being a teenager with all this inner turnmoil for the first time.
Just having like a first real awakening to life in general and not knowing how to handle it, but being able to take comfort and solace on songs like these, if only for a moment.
SAME!!! 💘
"Breathe Out,
So I Can Breathe You In."
- The most romantic line in all of music
Totally agree
I get a vision of two people i never even met
But she lays in the bed on her side and he does just that
@@rossmontoya9350 I see many possibilities.
One person so madly in love with another that they can't breathe unless the other is kissing them.
They spend their lives together.
Then as one is dying the survivor says this to their lover so as to keep that person inside them forever.
@@floydhaas303 wow
Yes
Im a writer myself so im highly visual when it comes to quotes or lyrics. But thats a beautiful image
Thank you & be well
@@rossmontoya9350 Thank You
It incidentally speaks to sharing “aloha”..
Acoustically, you can feel the depth and beauty of his sorrow. Simplicity meets the complexity of emotion birthing what we enjoy as “Everlong”
Dave you're a modern rock and roll legend. My wife and I saw your show at the Austin drum many years ago. Wheezer opened for you. Amazing show!! I was distracted while trying to talk to my wife and she started screaming "turn around, turn around!!" I looked over my left shoulder and you walked out to the opposite side of the venue. Blew my feeble mind!! I can't thank you enough for 30+ years of AWESOME rock and roll!!
I always love hearing a story behind the song. A bit hard to say, but that breakup might have been the best breakup ever when it resulted in a song like this.
You right!
Sometimes you need adversity and bad times to create more.
She dumped him?
@@904PinballZine they got divorced. But Everlong was actually written about the girl he dated right after the divorce
Dear Mr. Fantasy, please don’t be sad. If it was a straight life you had we wouldn’t have known you all these years.
Dave “I am not a trained guitar player” Grohl
Kurt and Pat were once backstage at a show and heard Dave playing guitar and realized that the best guitarist in Nirvana was the drummer.
remember he made a whole album by himself and played every instrument on it (2yrs later btw ik)
Pass the joint
Imagine being the girl Everlong was written about.
Chick from veruca salt
My dad does not undestand a single word of english.
I just played this song for him on my acoustic guitar.
He loved it.
He barely show his emotions.
This means the world to me.
Im glad this song exist.
Thank you so much Dave.
So why don't you teach him English?
@@myphilippineamericanjourne4731 I think you have missed the point dude :)
So sweet
@@Octomusprime that’s a point none the less if he taught him English he’d understand the fucking song
Wow that is beautiful and amazing. Great song choice. Sometimes you don’t have to understand the language to feel the emotion that follows the music. His father was proud to hear his talented son. And son was proud to share something he loves with his father. Sounds like a bonding moment to me ♥️ so congrats my friend. Keep doing what you love.
Is it just me, or is "Breathe out so I can breathe you in" one of the best lyrics ever? Slays me
My favorite line!
Hold u in...
It's not just you.
Yes, exactly that.
it sounds gross to me lol
Bro this was one of my favorite songs to play on acoustic before my stroke stole use of my left arm. I'm grateful that I got to play it when I was able, so thanks for the music :)
My friend loved this song, he passed away 1 year ago today and this song has reminded me of him since, and this happened to pop up on my reccomended today. Tell loved ones you love em before it's too late
"Breath out so I can breath you in." What a powerful line
panty dropper line.
Breathe*
I stumbled across this comment right as he sang it 😮
Yes
Hold you in
The fact that he has written whole ALBUMS of legendary songs, can play just about all the instruments, and he’s all self taught. The man is more than just an icon, a legend. He’s absolutely brilliant.
Complete genius.
100% agree. They have become my favorite band. Dave Grohl is a genius!
But would you like his fingers on you're drink
500th
i know 11 people just around me that can do the same
3:30 is such an interesting concept. That type of strumming pattern is something that someone who plays guitar exclusively would probably never come up with. Shows how valuable a different and unique viewpoint can be.
I've always admired his talent and love his lyrics but this explanation just proves that he's a musical/artistic genius. I now have an even higher appreciation for what he does.
This song saved me from myself when my best friend was murdered a few years ago. I know Dave will never see this. But thank you so much.
Edit. Thanks for the kind words from everyone. You guys rock. 🤟🤟
Let’s make this this number one comment so Dave’s does see it.
Yes check this out Dave ... You are so awesome! Thanks
I'm sorry for your tragic loss. Glad you found your strength in music. Many lives are saved by sound and words that come in the right moment . we're lucky to have that to hold us up .
Dam bro. I'm sorry. Music is for the soul my dude you gotta rock out to heal.
@@NK-bz9wb great comment
A man that exploded with a band at a young age, watched the lead guy die and still made an impact on the world after rather then burn out or die. Makes you think where the dead rockstars would be if they were alive.
Bro don't use periods if you can't use Commas
Makes you wonder where the people inspired by these people's talent and personality would be too. Do you think that this masterpiece would have been written if Kurt hadn't died?
@@rhettdonnelly7756 my thoughts exactly. We lost Kurt, but gained a Dave and...well, that's fair-ish.
Always looked up to that exact fact about Dave - such a diverse musical being
I wonder that about Layne
I am playing Everlong on the piano right now. I can read music and just started playing again after 20yrs of not having a piano. I was having so much trouble with the rhythm bc I have to play it so fast, and the way you described playing it on the drums and how you see it has tremendously helped me. I’ve never had a speech about music resonate so much in my soul. I cannot play a song unless I feel it in my bones. I have to be in the emotional mindset and play a song I love or you can’t hear it in my music or I’m bored with it. Music coming from raw emotion is the BEST MUSIC, and this is why Everlong is one of my favorite songs.
Thank you DG for being an awesome human being and giving us all more than the 90s. You teach, talk and give back. Thank you for being human and your beautiful words and realism
Being the drummer in one of the most iconic bands ever and then starting your own band and writing an iconic song like Everlong is on another level.
Everyone’s made for greatness just a few choose to make it.
If Kurt never killed himself this moment in the booth probably would have never happened....
Kurt never killed him self booth happened not both
"I'm not a trained musician".....goes and do the first album by himself!!! Maybe he doesn't know the chord...but he knows everything else. One of the greatest artist ever.
So true. Dave Grohl is incredible.
dude just said greatest artist ever lmao
@@matthewrodgers8205 one of the best
@@matthewrodgers8205 he play all the instruments
Doesn't matter if you know what you're doing as long as you can do it intuitively
@DAVEGROHL you are a living legend and a hero to us all!!! You are not only a musical genius but a beautiful person!!!
I wish I could tell Dave just how thankful I am for this song. He has no idea how much this song means to me. I’ve heard it thousands of times and it still chokes me up every single time. I love it so much. It’s etched into the very make up of my soul.
Imagine being the girl that inspired such an iconic song.
Her name is Louise Post. She’s a musician and was in 1/2 of the lead Vocals & guitar for Veruca Salt
Spoiler alert... The Seether's Louise
I heard a rumor that the girl "Hey There Delilah" is based on sued the band over it
@@TJP777RPG That's pathetic. Most relevance she will have and she sue's over it. Crazy
She wants her cut of the royalties
The fact that he’s not a “trained musician” & “can’t read music” makes him more of an accomplished musician not less.
Ever long is just so elegantly crafted
We value earnestness and passion over technical prowess. This man felt the music and we felt it too.
And ironically (or not), it brings him closer to one of his musical idols, The Beatles.
It's certainly good company to be able to belong to: other legends who had no mind for the mathematics of how they sounded.
Grohl is the man, and long love the Beatles.
@@donsmith3590 well put
Or a person could actually take the time to learn fundamentals and also have passion. I mean, that person isn't gonna be me I'm way more like Dave but I'm just sayin its not an accomplishment to not learn something.
His voice sends shivers down my spine every single time I hear it.
It's beautiful just how much after all the years a musical genius is still wanting more music❤❤❤
Everlong will always be one of my most favorite songs ever, the shit it makes me feel is unparalleled
Me too buddy, me too. It feels like a warm hug on a rainy cloudy day, when you feel like that’s the best weather ever.
I used to sweat my butt off on drums in the garage with my best friend. Then he wanted to play drums, and we swapped instruments. I literally knew how to play it on both instruments at 20yrs old, because I love this song so much. One of my first experiences with drop D.
Same here ❤
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic ” by SLT 🤘🐺🎸
Yes, I love quite a few of Foo Fighters songs but when I knew this was one of the bands I needed to see live at least once was when I heard this song. Somehow it always reminds me of a past relationships. After hearing how he came up with the song... It makes perfect sense.
the fact that dave grohl doesn't know music theory at all makes me feel alright about it myself.
I remember some months ago when Frusciante said that "Kiedis don´t know anything about music theory, but he write and sing with his heart and that´s even more important".
@@fabio4085 “sing” is a strong word 😂
Kurt Cobain didn’t know theory either
John Lennon was similarly clueless in a classical sense
They knew theory, but didn’t know the proper terminology for it. You don’t need to know what subjects predicates participals articles or conjunctions are to speak English, but you still need to know how to use them. That’s what these guys did, they didn’t know terminology, but they knew what they were doing
One of my top 3 favorite songs of all times. Hearing it acoustically with his explanation of the meaning of this song just made it that much more beautiful and special to me love❤
Dave is such an inspiration im so thankful he does this he makes songs and helps people in need there will be no one like dave
This narrative is absolutely amazing. I would pay money to watch Dave explain his thoughts behind every song he’s written.
Check out the documentary “Back and Forth”. It’s good. Chock full of Groovy Grohl stuff.
Sonic Highways is a cool documentary as well
I think in a sense @obscurity we have.

Me, too! Just hearing him explain every song!
It’s so beautiful watching him get emotional over his own song. It’s like the same kind of passion we as fans feel about it.
It’s unbelievable, he’s a fantastic guitarist, one of the best drummers to ever touch this Earth no matter what anyone says, and his singing is like an angel’s. He’s my hero.
Yeah, and it seems to be so rare to get to watch this kind of videos. I love when the artists are passionate about their stuff
DONG!!!
Love this version ...
best line!
This song totally was my jam many years ago. I went through a short period of drug abuse in 2019. Went to rehab just before covid in 2020, and came back to this song very recently. I have a friend who also was using back then. Just got back ahold of him and it seemed he was clean too. Just actually this moment found out hes not. I was so happy to remember him as a clean funny guy who i always had a lil crush on, but we stayed friends for so long. Im heartbroken. Listening to this makes it better.
I really appreciate how Dave speaks about the process of writing a song.
Agreed 100%
Late to this but listen to him narrate his autobiography if you haven’t - whole book is just like this
“I’m not a trained musician....however I am an absolute god.”
11:13
Absolutely! Lol
He’s not a trained musician, so true. You cant train what he has.

Some of the best songs came about from a broken heart. 💔 Thank you Dave for sharing!
Story time. Many years ago I had my first love. And I loved her with my whole heart. We dated for 2 1/2 years, and then she left me for another guy. It broke me so bad that I dropped out of college, left my job, burrowed head long into hard drugs, and eventually ended up homeless. I went to a rehab for nine months in St. Louis and recovered much of myself. At that rehab I met my current girlfriend, and I got an apartment up in St. Louis. It was there that one day I asked my girlfriend to come into my room and lay on my bed with me because I had found this song, and it meant a lot to me concerning my past with my ex. We laid there, and as the song played, I found myself breaking down and dripping with lots of tears. When the song ended, she looked over at me and said, “Ohmygod baby! Are you alright?” “Yes.” I choked out. “I really didn’t think it was going to hit me like that.” I had so much more to get out about what went down between me and her, and I knew that, but I didn’t think it was going to come out then. To everyone still hurting or still in love years after a past relationship, just know that I get it. It’s the deepest pain that I know. But we have to keep expelling it in whatever ways we know. Keep pushing to cope. “Being missed so dearly is the price of being loved so much.” “In the end. The only thing that matters. Is how much you loved.” “You were with them, and they were with you, and that’s what matters.” I’m finally about to send her a letter as a means of attempting greater closure. It has everything I wish I would have told her in it. Wish my heart the best please, and thank you for reading.
Dave Grohl bingo. “I’m not a guitarist”
“I treat the guitar like a drum” “I can’t read music” He hit all the spots here!
That's what she said.
@@JessMichaelWillyard doesn’t even make sense but alright
@@easty204 think about it
Rad. He's an amazing guy.
@Dustin Hill I know what he’s trying to say about hitting all the right spots but the remainder of the comment doesn’t make sense
The acoustic version of Everlong literally saved my life and carried me through a very rough time. I will be forever grateful, thank you.
Be strong bud !
I'm right there with you pal. It gave me the "one more day" I needed to be where I'm at 2 years later. Hope you're still hanging in there.
"literally"
You all hang in there. I'm also a self taught guitar player and i don't know shit about theory but music transcends everything
It did for me many times
Dave, this is my song with my Rob!! We met 19 years ago and then reconnected. And well this song is sooooo us!!! We both feel like we are each others everlong!!!! He bought me for Christmas the a picture of this song!!! We love you so much!! And this is US!!! It’s so much love and how we feel about us after 19 yrs and now we are together again. And engaged and so in love!!! One night I wrote the lyrics to him when he was several states away. And ok so yeah this is us and how we feel!! Thank you!! Cause this feels forever!!! ❤❤❤
One of my top 10 favorites. Love, love, love this rip.
That song without a doubt is one of the best songs ever written. I absolutely love both versions.
You’re overreacting…
@@copypaste_pro nope
@@jgilmer yes
It's most definitely on of the best songs written in the 90's, one that immediately brings me back to one of the best decades in my life. As many times as I've listened to this song, mostly here on RUclips, I've never seen this video. I love the story behind one of my all time favorite songs. Also the original HD video is the first one that featured Taylor Hawkins in the Foo Fighters even though through another video Dave Grohl explains that he actually recorded the drum track for it. Yes, what a great song that showcases the talents of one of the best rock bands from the 90's.
@@copypaste_pro no
This band accompanied me when I was studying in high school, when i received my diploma, when I went out with friends, when I became a boyfriend for the first time seriously, when we started living together, when she left me and we sold the house, when I talked to my mother long and hard until dawn, when I met the woman of my life, when my parents died, and today with more years, more experience I listen to their songs and sometimes I cry recounting what I experienced, this band is my soul, my life, thanks Dave
Stay strong king
Well said.
Fair winds and following seas.
Wow man. Thank you for sharing.
Im so glad this guy and his band are still rockin it in 2024, much love to Taylor never forget you, Foo Fighters for life 🇦🇺
It’s so easy to sit for hours watching Dave play and talk whil losing your sense of time, congrats to him.
"If everything could ever feel this real forever. If anything could ever be this good again" those lyrics right there hits me hard
Yes me also. And sadly I don't think it will ever be very real for me anymore. It's more like going through the motions until it's over with.
Love those lines
Absolutely

JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU REJECT HIM, TOTAL SEPARATION FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD, GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE AS AN OFFERING FOR ALL PEOPLE'S SINS! YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK SOON WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES! IT'S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, TITHING, CHURCH... IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR, DONT WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
This is why I love Dave Grohl. For him its all about the music and not the bullshit. He's genuine. Unfortunately musicians like him are getting harder to come by. Love the Foo
Same here a true troubadour !
I’m not a huge foo fighters fan but Dave grohls lovability is undeniable
Nah those musicians are still out there they're just not being promoted
There are even more Grohl type musicians today than in the past.
The mainstream music industry ignores them.
Look around - you will find them
Going to a Foo concert is high on my bucket list.
When I first heard this song I was going through a breakup and the chords, lyrics, and passion in Dave’s voice shook me to my core in a beautiful melancholy way. There is simply not a more meaningful and perfectly made song than everlong.
Dave we love you. This is the best song ever and is t he only thing in the world that I can say that this is 100% true without thinking about it.
RIP Taylor Hawkins 😔 so saddened, sorry for everyone's loss he will be truly missed 💝 Taylor such an outstanding drummer and singer!! Gosh, Dave and band mates must be devastated, my heart goes out to everyone.
😭
Bruh found out from this comment
this was almost exactly one year ago too :'(
@@UberlyAmazingGamer RIP
I don't mean to draw any attention away from the traffic loss, but wow!!! What a lovely solo performance by Mr. Grohl! RIP Mr. Hawkins.... Everyone in your orbit will miss you always!
" Breath out, so I can breath you in. Hold you in." is one of the greatest lyrics ever written.
Yes!!! Great, beautiful line...
My favorite line of his.
Yes... This gave a great idea that time.
What does this mean?
nah....
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She Sang....
Wow! How raw and beautiful was that rendition. Thanks for sharing your heart Dave. 🙏❤️😊
Im 38, he is our generations greatest “rockstar” what an incredible human being 🙏 thank you for everything Dave ….. life happens, but we’ve always got dave to listen too❤
"I can't read music"
Becomes one of the legends in the history of music
That's a bit of a stretch lol
Lot of musicians can't read music, hendrix, Eddie van halen, angus young
@@gregstuber8956 Michael Jackson is also in that club. He would beatbox his ideas to tape then layer them together and add the voice to have something for the session musicians to copy. They are still checking all his tapes to see what can be released.
Jeff Lynn....
Nor could any of the Beatles.
The chances of anyone from Foo Fighters actually seeing this comments are slim to none but I wanted to write it anyway. My mom passed away about five years ago at this point and Foo Fighters were her favorite band in the world and this was her favorite song in the world, hearing the story and hearing this rendition of the song brought me completely to tears and made me feel so incredibly close to her and maybe wish I could just share this video with her too, thank you
"The only thing I'll ever ask of you... gotta promise not to stop when I say 'when'" Peace.
@@Basic_Blue trippy as hell, saw this comment as soon as he sang it
@@Basic_Blue For some reason, I am now thinking the lyric is "not a stop"

A must listen!!
Mom loves you so much, always has, always will. This song is your relation to one another now.
The soul touching beauty of this entire presentation of the song. Sir, people such as yourself are why the word "artist" exists.
I absolutely LOVE acoustic music........so raw and real!!!!!
I was 20 and this song changed my life for ever.... 49 now and it feels the same today... thx
I wonder how is ex feels hearing this on the radio 13 times a day
she’s been pretty successful herself, so I’m not sure she minds
Who she was?
Who is it?😳 lucky lady...he is such a sweet and talented man❤
Who?

Love this style of performance. Everything's broken down and explained. Performance was awesome as well. Kind of like an MTV stripped but simplified.
Absolute legend. Thank you for creating this awesome emotional song from your inner core ✌️
This is one of the things I love about Dave. He’s not a “trained” musician, he just plays things that sound cool to him. Literally plays how he’s feeling in the moment.
It's awesome for sure how real he is
its his drumming background carrying over to guitar
