I've seen Foo Fighters multiple times in concert and it's always between a 2.5-3.5 hour show. Their hardest song is probably Run. Their biggest hits are Best of You, Everlong, My Hero and All My Life. But there are bangers on every album. Hope to see more of the Foos on your channel! #Louisiana

    I wish you guys would react to Dire Straits and their song, Sultans of Swing. But it HAS TO BE the ALCHEMY LIVE performance. This performance is Fire. One of the best live performances you will ever see.

    The Foo Fighters are great! Dave Grohl is basically the spirit of Rock and Roll embodied... Band on the Run, My Hero, Monkey Wrench(the Kiss Guy video is AMAZING) and anything from the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert will break your heart... especially if you know Dave was best friends with Kurt in Nirvana, and he was best friends with Taylor and he lost them both... the man is a treasure...

    Taylor Hawkins was the drummer of Foo Fighters here... Sadly, he passed away this year on tour w/ the band...(R.I.P. 😪)
    Dave Grohl (vocals & guitar) formed the Foo Fighters in 1995, after the untimely death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in 1994... Grohl had played drums in Nirvana, and he had also played guitar in prior local bands. While in Nirvana, he wrote and recorded an album's worth of songs which he intended for a solo project... Despite the tragedy of losing Nirvana in '94, Dave Grohl got offers to join other major acts... but he had finished a record (which he hastily named 'Foo Fighters', a term used for U.F.O.'s) on which he played guitars, bass, drums and sang lead.
    In 1995, he signed a record deal w/ his own imprint Roswell Records to release the first Foo Fighters record and assembled a touring band - Nirvana's touring guitarist Pat Smear signed up... Nate Mendel (bass) and William Goldsmith (drums) from the indie band Sunny Day Real Estate also joined... As Foo Fighters toured clubs in '95 and refused to play any Nirvana songs live, radio picked up Foo Fighters 1st single "This is a call"... then MTV started putting on their music videos... the single "I'll stick around" and the acoustic single 'Big me' (which had a video like a Mentos commercial) pushed record sales past gold (half million copies) and then platinum (1 million copies) by 1996... In Europe, Foo Fighters got big really fast and were playing huge venues already.
    Going into 2nd album w/ the live band playing in the studio, Grohl was unhappy w/ drummer William Goldsmith's studio tracks, so he re-recorded most of the drums for the 2nd album 'The color and the shape' (1997)... When Goldsmith found out, he quit the band. Taylor Hawkins (drums) joined the Foo Fighters for the tour - he had been Alanis Morissette's touring drummer before then. The 2nd record became a bigger hit, w/ 4 singles on MTV - 'Monkey wrench'... 'Everlong'... 'My hero'... 'Walking after you'... 🔥🔥Guitarist Pat Smear announced he was leaving the band.
    3rd album 'There is nothing left to lose' (1999) was recorded as a trio... "Learn to fly' became a huge single. Chris Shiflett (guitar) joined the Foo Fighters for the tour. Internal conflicts within the band delayed the release of the 4th Foo Fighters album 'One by one'... Grohl recalled it had to be recorded twice because the first attempt "sucked"... Released in 2002, 'One by one' became another platinum hit w/ successful singles 'All my life' and 'Times like these'... 5th album 'In your honor' was a 2 CD album w/ acoustic songs mixed in w/ heavy rock songs and spawned more hit singles - 'Best of you'... 'D.O.A.' ... 'No way back'... Selling platinum again... Foo Fighters recorded a live acoustic album 'Skin and bones' in 2006 and opened for Bob Dylan on tour.
    "Echoes, silence, patience & grace" was released in 2007 and this single 'The Pretender' was a standout from that album... 'Long road to ruin' was another single... Foo Fighters sold out 2 nights at Wembley Stadium in England on that tour, and were joined on stage by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page (guitar) and John Paul Jones (bass).... Former guitarist Pat Smear also joined the Foo Fighters on tour and rejoined the band w/ 3 guitarists - Grohl, Shiflett & Smear. The next album 'Wasting light' (2011) was recorded w/ Nirvana's producer Butch Vig and charted at #1 in the US w/ the singles 'Rope'... 'These days'... 'Walk'.
    Foo Fighters marked 20 years of the band w/ the tour for the album 'Sonic highways' (2014) ... then followed w/ another #1 charting album 'Concrete & gold' (2017) w/ the singles 'Run'... 'The sky is a neighborhood'.
    10th studio album 'Medicine at Midnight' was delayed until 2021 because of the pandemic... Foo Fighters decided to make the album similar to the sound of late 70's/early 80's "new wave" bands like The Cars, Blondie, The Pretenders, etc. So it was a departure from the heavy rock albums they had done.
    Tragically, as the Foo Fighters were on tour for 'Medicine at Midnight', the band was in South America w/ an upcoming US tour in 2022... Drummer Taylor Hawkins was found dead in Colombia before a show. He had struggled w/ drug addiction in the past, and prescription pills are speculated as the cause of death... Foo Fighters played 2 memorial shows in his memory, but have yet to announce any future plans.

    Dave Grohl is epic in all the bands he's played with. Dave is from VA originally. He was even playing with Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana. Yall should do more Dave Grohl stuff man.

    LISTEN UP CHUMPS. Just react to anything that isn't pop music and it will probably be something everyone can enjoy. Don't worry about doing what everyone requests or you'll end up doing the same band over and over until you do every song.
    Keep up the great work, bros.
    Request: Rehab - Storm Chaser

      If you want more Foo Fighters:
      Foo Fighters - Big Me
      Foo Fighters - For All The Cows
      Both songs are from their first album, back when it was just one person in the band. Can't recommend that album enough.

    • @LongandWeirdName

      Listen up, chump. Chump is a derogatory term. No other meaning. You just called them foolish. Thickheaded. The original meaning was from British words for defining meat. A chump leg of lamb or mutton was what we'd now call thick. That is no way to talk to people if you want them to listen. I just did it to demonstrate.
      Also, there is plenty great pop that everyone can enjoy. Even the most demanding critic.

    I’m sure no one mentioned that the lead singer, Dave Grohl, was the drummer in Nirvana. 😂 He is known as the nicest guy in Rock. Some of my FF favorites are Everlong, Best of you, My hero. 🤘🤘

    Another band with lots of good songs. Can’t really go wrong. “Everlong” is a banger. “Walk” also.
    Sadly Taylor Hawkins, the drummer…passed away not too long ago.

    “I feel like I heard it or something” you probably have, I instantly recognized it from my youth and sang the lyrics. Quite popular of the time, good song.

    Foo Fighters are a popular band. They just did a big tribute to their drummer who passed away recently. You can see the tributes on CZcams.
