Imagine being in your 50s and taking your daughter to see Billie Eilish and then you go on stage and play a song with her (I know one of his daughters is a huge Billie Eilish fan)
@@kastapostgard5306 I mean, of course. They are still an all-time great band and I still vastly prefer them personally, but think about it, do you more frequently hear Foo Fighters songs or Nirvana songs in day to day life? What about young people, which are they more familiar with?
As a 55 year old dude being there when Nirvana broke in 1991 and seeing the demise, the rebirth, the evolution of Foo Fighters paired with the perseverance of Dave Grohl as a legit musician, it's SO AWESOME to see him bridge the gap with current art as he duets with Billie. What a treat. If only to be in the audience.....MISS YOU TAYLOR HAWKINS!
It’s a weird feeling right? Feels like a hundred years. I remember seeing Nirvana live in a little club in Melbourne Australia in 92 with maybe like 2000 people and just being blown away by Dave up the back. And now he’s up doing this with one of the great modern stars.
He matched Billie's style of singing, which is much softer, almost whispered like ASMR relaxing videos, when Dave's used to sing screaming his lungs out. If they didn't have individual mics, let's say they're singing in a Operah theater/hall, with just room mics, we would probably be hearing just Dave, but not Billie's voice at all (I'm not criticizing her, those are just different styles) LOL That just goes to show Dave's experience as a musician to just "feel the room", after so many years.
After Taylor's passing, it is almost impossible not to go in tears when listening to this song. It's unbelievable how passionate is Dave; he could sing in front of millions, or 3 people, with an acoustic or electric; he always gives 100%. We're enjoying one of the GOATs of Rock And Roll.
Agree. He is such a complete musician. Love that he is an admirer of Rush as well and was the one to induct them into the R&R HoF. They lost Neil Peart, he lost Taylor (and before that Kurt) and they continue on making great music.
@@shtroiznAssaf yes, I thought that after Taylor's, it could be no more FF or Dave Grohl as well, but fortunately they found the way to celebrate life, smth that we should do with ours: being happy remembering great times and going ahead because it's not the end.
He’s a really bad ass too late to deal with what he dealt with not being hard-core on drugs you’re fucking flipped out and still be making beautiful music he’s bugging bad ass rock ‘n’ roll badass legend let me rephrase that LEGEND
As someone who grew up listening to Nirvana & Foo Fighters (and still do listen to them) and has become a Billie fan over the past 4 years - this is so awesome to see.
I found I liked Billie's music before my teenage daughter even told me she liked her yet. We thought that was so strange, and then we went to see her live in Kentucky. By far one of the best shows I've witnessed, and I'm a dad with a Slipknot tattoo and one of my best shows was Manson, Slayer at Mayhem Festival 2009. Never giving 2 fuc** what anyone thinks. Never did and never will care who judges me.🤘I'm a huge fan of Billie's music.
In 2018 I saw Billie perform for a small radio concert show in a small LA venue. David Grohl was about 30ft in front of me with his daughter at that same concert. After seeing this it all comes full circle.
That’s one thing I’ve always liked about Dave, he always enjoys concerts as a regular fan when you know he could easily be backstage or in the super-mega VIP seats to any show ever.
YES! He mentioned that show somewhere the next day and her name stuck with me. Not long after, she totally blew up. I first heard about Billie through Dave so this is amazing
The only thing that could’ve made this better is his daughter joining them on stage. Dave is about as epic as it gets. Flawed like all of us, yet he stands in the storm and pushes through. Truly one of my all time favorites and everything the man has written, performed and those he’s worked with, incredible.
The fact Dave can go from playing with a bunch of 1980s punkers one day to a modern pop star the next shows just how true of a treasure he is. This was so good, thank you fro sharing.
It's funny to know he doesn't think much of himself as a musician because of how great he is. Personally I don't think knowing scales or chord names or whatever theory is that important, if you can have fun and make music like Dave then that's all you need.
In addition to recognizing Taylor, I love seeing two completely different generations of musicians connecting and appreciating each other. If there has ever been anything that brought people together, regardless of any other political BS, it's been music. I love it and we need more of it. Dave and Billie, love you both. It really touched me to watch this. God bless.
I'm a grown ass man, and I found myself wiping tears from my eyes about halfway through this rendition. Unbelievable talent from both. It's like you can almost feel Kurt singing thru Dave.
This is truly so good. People who arent musicians love to hate on Billie, but the biggest names in rock love her for a reason. One of the most genuine, authentic, singers in many years, with such insanely accurate chops, and she got to this point by simply doing what she thought was cool and not caring about anyone else - which is the epitome of being "rock and roll" and what Grohl has preached for decades. Lets kill the stupid gatekeeping and stereotypes that try to put artists in boxes, and let people share their art across genres and respect each other.
@@kramersilver8331 just because she is someone you dislike doesn’t mean she is fake. You maybe think that her personality conforms to some kind of popular trend but she is literally just being herself. She is so popular that people are emulating her personality, it’s not the other way around.

I hope those Billie fans realize they are witnessing a rock legend. Dave is the last of a dying breed. I bet everyone became a fan of rock that night (and got chills)
I hope those Foo fans realize they are witnessing the next torch bearer of music who will be carrying Foo's legacy when you've all attained your Nirvana and gone.
I had the pleasure and absolute honour of working on the Taylor Hawkins tribute at Wembley this year, Dave Grohl has and always will be my hero, he is the coolest man I have ever met, such a talented, loving and gracious man. I have the upmost respect for him x x

Billie has that distinct voice and on how she's able to control and slowly build it up is truly amazing and just leaves u shaking ur head when u realize she's a one in a generation.
@what about the situation i'm sorry you could only get to the "junkie" part and not the "famous part"... maybe try jumping from the Empire State building while being butt naked, maybe then people will finally recognize your existance
@what about the situation you've achieved nothing in your life. Taylor was a bright light. I am on the rise, over 11m plays now on Spotify - and you're a waster!
I just wanna say that as a full grown man I barely let myself cry, not enough though. And here I am, watching this and crying like a boy and it's so intense and beautiful at the same time. These emotions are so real and the loss of an amazing and loving man and musician are so heartbreaking I just can't help myself.
I think that's beautiful. Honestly. Nothing more moving, beautiful, sexy, cool about seeing a man feel and cry.💜 I lose it seeing me cry. Makes me cry every time because I know it can really be hard for men to express emotions through tears.🥺😢😊💙
Dave Grohl is a HERO. Smiling and carrying everyone else through the pain of tremendous lossES….Ordinarily amazing. I admire his strength to emanate love and share the pain through song with us all. I would do anything to lift his spirit. 🕊
Theres a show from a couple of years ago where Miley Cyrus got to perform with miss Joan Jett and mr Dave Grohl… She tried TOO hard and ended up embarrassing herself, imo… The difference is quite clear…
WOW...Dave said that he, his family & the rest of everyone at his house began to cry as she sang that tribute to Taylor at the Grammys, I just started BAWLING in tears at the end of this performance,
That's a baseless opinion, think of how many concert'goers of that age would even know many bands that started in the nineties? Theyre a good fit, theyre doing eachother a service and theyre giving the fans a chance.
@@raymondvaughan6262 😂 here we are again with someone who knows nothing about music, especially soft music and soft singer .. or jazz.. sorry for you btw she can sing and she can play piano, guitar and ukulele, she directs and edits her music videos. she studied every type of dance: tap dance, classic ballet dance, contemporary dance Etc she is a gymnast (aerobics), she is the scenographer of her shows, she is a designer she draw her music videos, her style Etc everything! She even create her own brand everything since she was only 15/16 years old. And you ? What about you? I’m music teacher, composer and I also help emerging artists. You?
This. This is stripped down, raw beauty. DAVE Grohl is so supernatural yet so very human. So much talent. What an amazing life I don't know how he keeps it together for every performance. Rip Taylor. Dave... you are MY hero. Peace ✌ Thank you for posting this. I would have missed this amazing moment😊
Exactly this! I thought the same. My daughter talks about her and I saw no big deal, but this!!! Oh my gosh she is up there with the biggest artists out there! ❤️
Man Billie is talented but Dave has decades of pain and memories behind that song... Nothing will ever replace him. Amazing moment for the both of them, and Billie took a beautiful folk sounding harmony. Great clip dude thank you!
This is SO life-affirming! I love that Dave brought up Billie wearing the Taylor shirt at her Grammy performance. It's SO heartbreaking to hear how the whole FF fam was at Dave's that night to feel that love OPEN the Grammy broadcast. Dave's daughter was a huge Billie fan from early on, and Dave noted that Billie conveys feelings that her audience all relate to....just like what he saw while a young dude in Nirvana. Nirvana's music resonated with me and my peers, and now our children are fans of Billie and Nirvana. Keep going, Dave! You are so loved and appreciated. Thanks for this beautiful duet, Billie!
this performance literally had me in tears. The song alone is so beautiful, and has so much meaning because the song is dedicated to Kurt Cobain. its just so beautiful like words cannot describe.
As a man who is nearly in his 40's who has grown up on Nirvana and the Foos and also with an 8 year old son who worships Billie....this hit me hard. Great performance of a wonderful song. Taylor would have approved!
So one of the many things I love about Grohl is that (nowadays LOL) he's not on some elitist BS where he wouldn't play a song with a Pop star. I 've heard a lot about Eilish, she seems like a cool kid. It's great to just see them together!
Right? Prince, Justin Timberlake, Tom Petty, Lady Gaga, Lorde, Norah Jones. Paul McCartney, Cat Power, The bangles, The Rolling Stone’s, George Michael, Tenacious D, QOTSA, Zac Brown Band, Joan Jett, Kim Gordon, Cage The Elephant, Nine Inch Nails, Rick Astley, Ben Gibbard, THE MUPPETS?!!…. No Pop stars in there, no none at all 😂😂 . Maybe it’s you that’s on the elitist BS.
I will never forget how Dave Grohl said on the festival at 11 pm in the evening "the time ran out and we are not allowed to play any longer. but we always finish a concert. so send me the bill"
Thanks for recording and sharing this, I was down on the floor singing every word and bawling my eyes out, Dave Grohl is my hero, and it was a complete shock to see him walk on stage. An unbelievable moment, thanks again.
Dave Grohl is connected to so many different styles and genres of music. He's been a rockstar for over 3 decades and still reaches out to younger generations of music every chance he gets. You can't not love the guy.
I’m in Dave’s generation and I’m a huge Billie fan. Such a beautiful thing to see them bridging people together through the love of music, or the music of love. ❤
I pray for peace and healing for all those who loved Taylor. Especially his family and the Foo family. What a beautiful, emotional, authentic moment. Rest sweet Taylor. 💔
OMG! This is a real one! Got the goosebumps and everything. You can tell how happy Dave Grohl is to hear his song sung by another generational voice. Also the harmonies 🙌
Billie Eilish is honestly just a class above all the other artists in her genre, she's so young and so talented, and yet so humble and respectful of the artists that paved the way for her.
She's really not either of those things. She had parents with connections to the music industry. That's pretty much it. I'm sure some braindead dolt would say the same thing about you if your step dad was quincy jones.
I watched foo fighter in Chile a couple of days before Taylor’s death, and Billie eilish is the only artist that remains on my have to watch before I die list, having this song recorded so I can watch it is just amazing
I took my 14 & 15 yr old daughters to see Billie last year. Bought the tickets in 2019 for 2020 tour. They had kinda moved on from her by the time we got to see the show, but she blew us all away! Billie was a master at connecting with 15,000 girls and about 1,000 dads. We all enjoyed it. 🤘
I am a 45 year old. When I heard this version, I was crying out loud! Both of them are just class acts, laying all out there. Phenomenal! And what a tribute to Taylor! He was such a better version of Dave himself live! A master!!!! Loved it!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
as someone who's grown up listening to rock music including foo fighters with my dad, then getting into billie eilish in 2017 makes me and my dad happy because he knows i listened to billie for years and i've listened to foo fighters with him
Oh man. From someone who was there for this performance, it was so insane and other worldly to experience such a legend on stage. An experience I am so grateful for.
Just a guitar and two voices. And still there's everything you need and all the feels you could feel in there. Music is the most wonderful thing we have in the universe.
imagine being a dad in your 40’s and taking your daughter to see Billie Eilish and Dave Grohl comes out
"Suddenly this evening got better!"
Imagine being in your 50s and taking your daughter to see Billie Eilish and then you go on stage and play a song with her (I know one of his daughters is a huge Billie Eilish fan)

How ironic you'd say that as them singing this was a tribute to somebody who died
@@bobtausworthe Far fetched...
No need for that, thanks.
They are both TIMELESS - their musicality transcends all time boundaries
Dave never disappoints. All around good guy, rare type of celebrity.
Music truly does transcend all barriers in the right hands. This is 2 musicians loving what they do, great to hear.
Problem is Billy is some low standards to music contributions.
That's a baseless opinion, think of how many concert'goers of that age would even know many bands that started in the nineties?
Theyre a good fit, theyre doing eachother a service and theyre giving the fans a chance.
Music is everything. The biggest gift to humankind. Makes life worth living.
One musician she can't sing at all or play any instrument any good
@@raymondvaughan6262 😂 here we are again with someone who knows nothing about music, especially soft music and soft singer .. or jazz.. sorry for you btw she can sing and she can play piano, guitar and ukulele, she directs and edits her music videos. she studied every type of dance: tap dance, classic ballet dance, contemporary dance Etc she is a gymnast (aerobics), she is the scenographer of her shows, she is a designer she draw her music videos, her style Etc everything! She even create her own brand everything since she was only 15/16 years old. And you ? What about you? I’m music teacher, composer and I also help emerging artists. You?
I've seen Foo Fighters live. They were amazing. This was a beautiful tribute to Taylor Hawkins. Billie's harmony was on fire. Live this!
This. This is stripped down, raw beauty. DAVE Grohl is so supernatural yet so very human. So much talent. What an amazing life I don't know how he keeps it together for every performance. Rip Taylor. Dave... you are MY hero. Peace ✌
Thank you for posting this. I would have missed this amazing moment😊
Dave has experienced all the highs and lows of the music business. He still seems to be grounded. God bless him, his family, and the Foos.
Ok, as an old lady I’ve wondered for years what’s the big thing about this girl…I get it now after watching this! Such an amazing rendition!
Here too..at my 33s....now i got it
I get it. I love Billie. A true original talent. And I’m older than her parents, just to show that she appeals across generations.
Welcome to team Eilish. The music is good over hear. Just FYI, she doesn’t use auto-tune.
Exactly this! I thought the same. My daughter talks about her and I saw no big deal, but this!!! Oh my gosh she is up there with the biggest artists out there! ❤️
I’m 50 and I have always enjoyed her music.
Man Billie is talented but Dave has decades of pain and memories behind that song... Nothing will ever replace him. Amazing moment for the both of them, and Billie took a beautiful folk sounding harmony. Great clip dude thank you!
I had to stop what I was doing to hear Billie sing! Didn’t know her voice was so good ‼️
They harmonize really well on the chorus. it sounds great
This is SO life-affirming! I love that Dave brought up Billie wearing the Taylor shirt at her Grammy performance. It's SO heartbreaking to hear how the whole FF fam was at Dave's that night to feel that love OPEN the Grammy broadcast. Dave's daughter was a huge Billie fan from early on, and Dave noted that Billie conveys feelings that her audience all relate to....just like what he saw while a young dude in Nirvana. Nirvana's music resonated with me and my peers, and now our children are fans of Billie and Nirvana. Keep going, Dave! You are so loved and appreciated. Thanks for this beautiful duet, Billie!
Generations united🥺🥰💗
The entire venue joining in for the chorus was amazing. Billie’s voice is beautiful as always. Lovely tribute to a lovely man.
Lovely drummer and man not her brilliant voice she can't sing overrated shite put her on stage with a west end singer then see just cheap pop
this performance literally had me in tears. The song alone is so beautiful, and has so much meaning because the song is dedicated to Kurt Cobain. its just so beautiful like words cannot describe.
My hero isn't dedicated to Kurt Cobain, Dave said it in an interview
@@marcosolmedo7898The guy who produced the song said Dave told him it was about Kurt.
For the millionth time, it’s not about kurt
Billie Eilish living the dream
As a man who is nearly in his 40's who has grown up on Nirvana and the Foos and also with an 8 year old son who worships Billie....this hit me hard. Great performance of a wonderful song. Taylor would have approved!
So one of the many things I love about Grohl is that (nowadays LOL) he's not on some elitist BS where he wouldn't play a song with a Pop star. I 've heard a lot about Eilish, she seems like a cool kid. It's great to just see them together!
She hates being called a pop star. It's pop that's riding her star now.
@@whataboutthesituation1273 at least they are entertaining, unlike your comment
Right? Prince, Justin Timberlake, Tom Petty, Lady Gaga, Lorde, Norah Jones. Paul McCartney, Cat Power, The bangles, The Rolling Stone’s, George Michael, Tenacious D, QOTSA, Zac Brown Band, Joan Jett, Kim Gordon, Cage The Elephant, Nine Inch Nails, Rick Astley, Ben Gibbard, THE MUPPETS?!!…. No Pop stars in there, no none at all 😂😂 . Maybe it’s you that’s on the elitist BS.
@what about the situation sounds like you need the attention, well that’s all you get from me lol
She's into that stupid satanic imagery though.
Omg though the sadness and gratitude. Bittersweet and beautiful
I will never forget how Dave Grohl said on the festival at 11 pm in the evening "the time ran out and we are not allowed to play any longer. but we always finish a concert. so send me the bill"
Thanks for recording and sharing this, I was down on the floor singing every word and bawling my eyes out, Dave Grohl is my hero, and it was a complete shock to see him walk on stage. An unbelievable moment, thanks again.
🫂🤍🌻
Wow
Crybaby
@@markxv2267 Are you okay? You don't seem like you're okay.
Man I’m glad to see Dave out and about ngl I hope he’s doing okay,
I hope the rest of the foos and their families are doing well too
wow. what a legendarily good version of this song. Chills. hats off to both Dave and Billie, I loved it. RIP Kurt and Taylor
Billie's harmonies are so beautiful in this
Now I’m a Billie fan after hearing this. Never thought I’d ever say that. This was awesome.
Whoever took this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
Very moving performance and Billie's harmonies are so spot on and beautiful.
Dave is everywhere. The world just loves Dave Grohl..for good reason :)
Dave is such an amazing human!!!!!! This is beautiful!!!!! ❤❤❤
There is a crazy amount of mutual respect on display here between these 2 musicians!
Dave Grohl is connected to so many different styles and genres of music. He's been a rockstar for over 3 decades and still reaches out to younger generations of music every chance he gets. You can't not love the guy.
Apart from the beautiful duet, I would like to pay my respects to the OP for having such a perfect zoom. ❤
I don't think I'll ever be able to scroll past this video without watching it. This has to be over 20 times now.
I'm taking an exam on about 20 minutes and here I am, crying while watching an absolutely precious performance. Thanks for sharing.
I’m in Dave’s generation and I’m a huge Billie fan. Such a beautiful thing to see them bridging people together through the love of music, or the music of love. ❤
Thank you Billie. Love you for this. And the things u do like this. She's getting so much more mature. Love this. 💕
I will reiterate: This is the kindest man in Rock today. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
@Dave Grohl Great and you?
@Dave Grohl Actually, I am not but greatly appreciate your response. Take care.
Fully bawling my eyes out 😭😭 I love Billie and Dave so much and love them even more for doing this. Taylor Hawkins forever ❤️
Lol pls
I’m not crying, you’re crying!! This is the best video ever. I’m so thankful you shared this moment. It’s was amazingly beautiful. ❤
Its like this is the meeting between two generations and the passing down of the torch from one to another. Such a powerful performance.
Exactly 💯 im here for him and im not billie generation..im right at the middle!!! Wow
Adore this song!!!Dave is a MAN!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I pray for peace and healing for all those who loved Taylor. Especially his family and the Foo family. What a beautiful, emotional, authentic moment. Rest sweet Taylor. 💔
OMG! This is a real one! Got the goosebumps and everything.
You can tell how happy Dave Grohl is to hear his song sung by another generational voice.
Also the harmonies 🙌
This is just awesome. Both of my favorites artists, singing for my favorite drummer. Priceless
this actually brought tears to my eyes xxx so much love for Dave, Foo Fighters, Nirvana and Billie is next level talent. What a duo!
This is the collab I didn’t know I needed
Billie Eilish is honestly just a class above all the other artists in her genre, she's so young and so talented, and yet so humble and respectful of the artists that paved the way for her.
Such a breath of fresh air. Completely changed popular music in 2019 and continues to. She's everything I wished out of super mainstream artists.
I wish other popular mainstream artists would honor the one's before them
Can u give an example of lower class artists in her genre ?
She's really not either of those things. She had parents with connections to the music industry. That's pretty much it. I'm sure some braindead dolt would say the same thing about you if your step dad was quincy jones.
Very well said i couldnt agree more.
Goddamn, it's just impossible to watch this without tearing up. Every time.
Beautiful moment this. Thanks for sharing!
I watched foo fighter in Chile a couple of days before Taylor’s death, and Billie eilish is the only artist that remains on my have to watch before I die list, having this song recorded so I can watch it is just amazing
I took my 14 & 15 yr old daughters to see Billie last year. Bought the tickets in 2019 for 2020 tour. They had kinda moved on from her by the time we got to see the show, but she blew us all away! Billie was a master at connecting with 15,000 girls and about 1,000 dads. We all enjoyed it. 🤘
I am a 45 year old. When I heard this version, I was crying out loud! Both of them are just class acts, laying all out there. Phenomenal! And what a tribute to Taylor! He was such a better version of Dave himself live! A master!!!! Loved it!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Guh-ayyyyyye!
This recent trend of "I'm 97 years old and..." is so fucking cringe. Nobody cares how old you are. Enjoy the music. Comment on the music.
Pansy
You'll do it too, trust. But I'm sure your parents have told you that.
@@MYARMYOFNONE what’s “it”? Gross
Dammit Dave now you've gone and got me all emotional again..RIP Taylor..Love you Billie
Excellent performance by Dave and Billie. I also have to give up props to your camera. That zoom!!!!!
Billie's smile is so warm and lovely. She has such a beautiful energy. God bless her.
Ah man that was sick. Mahalos for sharing that...foo fighters are one of the bands I grew up with...what a fkn treat. Such a sick performance 🤘🏼
as someone who's grown up listening to rock music including foo fighters with my dad, then getting into billie eilish in 2017 makes me and my dad happy because he knows i listened to billie for years and i've listened to foo fighters with him
Oh man. From someone who was there for this performance, it was so insane and other worldly to experience such a legend on stage. An experience I am so grateful for.
Brought me to tears. I lost my dad a few months ago and he loved this song.
Just a guitar and two voices.
And still there's everything you need and all the feels you could feel in there.
Music is the most wonderful thing we have in the universe.
We NEED a full album of this collaboration. Period.
Well isn't this just the sweetest thing.
i never thought a duet with dave and billie would bring me to tears but here we are
