    Williams drumming with these demos reminds me of Dave Krusen’s feel on Ten with PJ.

    This is only a demo, if this was in the studio with a good producer they can make it sound a lot better besides they did this song when they were on tour in 1995 and 96 before it came out on 1997 album with William Goldsmith on drums..sounded pretty good in concert

      Yep, a bit mellow compared to the final version. You just can't feel Goldsmith's personality in here. Who IS he as a drummer?

      This also was a demo..which are mostly mixed more and changed in the studio by producers.
      Slower version too

      Yeah, an album where Nate played some creative bass lines, not just doubling drums/foot. It's a shame that this capable musician is wasting his potential in FF. Maybe Dave's drumming is more heavy hitting, hook oriented, poppy, but I think William's is more organic, natural. Maybe, and only sometimes, he's a bit of a fraction behind on live shows, but he's got a wider palette to Dave. The Rising Tide and The Fire Theft albums are f*ckn ART and majority of this is because of a great rhythm! Almost anything FF after TINLTL is okay-ish, nothing that'll stick for years and years.

    Listened to the commercial album sooo much over the years, I always thought this song had completely different drummer on the actual album than Dave because Dave does not drum like this ever. Only Dave and Will could specify who created this sound but heak will freeze over before these two men will ever talk about it probably.

    Totally different feel compared to Dave's drumming. Lack of dynamic , feels and timing. But still respect to Goldsmith's work

      He was great with SDRE though! This may just be a case of grohl being to hands on with the drum parts and not allowing him to bring some of his own style into the part.

      @AI-go622 4 месяца назад

      Taylor was tecnically better than both Dave and William, but his style was very different, so the drumming changed a lot upon his coming. The same is the case for Freese, to a much bigger extent even.

    Wow..! Everything that William Goldsmith has recorded here is pretty much the same as Dave has re-recorded... All the ideas are William's...! Dave is probably a better drummer but hello..? William should be credited as a co-writer of the songs. The way this was done by Dave is not the way it should be done..

    • @bayusatria626

      nah fairly sure Dave Grohl wrote the drum part for William Goldsmith to play and the parts in this demo are different to the actual recording.

    • @UnrecognizedCue
      @UnrecognizedCue Год назад +5

      Nah, it was clear that Dave wrote these songs with *these* drum parts in mind, I mean the chorus drum pattern is LITERALLY from a old demo of Daves called Pokey the little puppy.

    • @AI-go622
      @AI-go622 4 месяца назад

      I'm pretty sure Dave dictated every single drum part. If you watch William talking about the whole experience, it seems to be the case. Maybe he had some liberty with some few rolls here and there if that.

    Nate fucks up the bass line at 1:50 way worse than anything Will does in this recording (I didn't even hear any out and out mistakes on his part).
    Guess he's a shitty bass player who can't hack it and deserves to be replaced since apparently this specific demo recording of My Hero is the end all, be all of whether or not someone is cut out for the Foo Fighters, if the comments section is to be believed. 🙃
    Oh, and Dave not even having the lyrics finished and fucking up the delivery at the start of the second verse? He's definitely out as vocalist, as well. 🙃🙃🙃
