“Swifties” are the problem, not Taylor Swift.
true but relationship wise, she does seems to be the problem with how many songs about exes shes had. it might not be all of them. it might be her XD
just like the old saying goes. if it stinks like dog shit everywhere you go it might not be the places you go that is the issue. you might have stepped in dog shit XD
I don’t think she actually thinks all her exes are terrible people, she just needs something to make songs about
yeah avarage pop country singer that you can replace without anyone notice but fanbase is weird af
I agree
She created them. She’s a 16 year old 34 year old woman. It’s pathetic.
First of all, mad respects for Dave for standing up for Violet. Second of all, I'm sure both him and TS are NOT taking this seriously, they are bigger than that.
Dave’s hypocrite daughter used Taylor Swift for clout (using private jets) when her flop father also uses private jets too. Just remind y’all Taylor Swift is not even in the Top 50 Private Jets users, SMH. More than that, she supported those p*rn AI photo of Taylor Swift, but when Swiftie fought back and have the same energy she played the victim narrative card 🤡
Taylor Swift jumps at every single chance to play the victim. She is not above anything. She is an annoying leftist loser who makes very shitty pop music.
How is he sticking up for her? Taylor never did anything to her whatsoever.
@@funfun_2001 taylor herself never did, i'm not trying to say it's taylor's fault. it's her fans that were attacking violet and sending her death threats
@@funfun_2001 He's not saying it to attack Swift herself, but probably to piss off her fanbase. If he really meant to attack her he wouldn't make such a non-adressing comment. (Because technically he never says she does not play live, you can only assume)
Knowing the context behind it, that's honestly kinda wholesome of him
It’s not wholesome. It’s moronic. If Dave has something to say to Swift, why not just effing say it? Instead he creates this embarrassing drama that makes him look petty.
@@dusty3913swifty!
@@dusty3913 did you actually hear the context?
@@dusty3913he doesn’t have something to say to swift, he was drawing the attention of the swifties from his daughter 🙄

That girls tee says it all! Clueless!😂😂😂
I would love to see the replies to her comment.
“Whos nirvana?”
But Tyler, you're injecting reason into what everyone wants to be a shallow and divisive situation. 😂
This needs more attention fr 😂
haha yah ik pointless drama be like
One of her multi-instrumentalists Mike Meadows is from my hometown, and I've had a few conversations with him. They absolutely play live, and the band is extremely talented. One thing to note about Taylor is from when she switched from Country to Pop music. She could've easily ditched her live band in favor of just tracks or cheap gun-for-hire's, but instead, she gave them the new record and said get to work on how to play these live. She's had essentially the same band throughout he whole career, and is extremely loyal to them.
That's cool. They've certainly been on hell of a ride.
Same way a king or queen would keep their most valued servants around. At that level of fame and success, you prefer to have loyal people around who won't go breaking NDAs and spilling the tea. Working with those you don't trust requires keeping the mask on.
@@micdraypr1855, why are you mad? She could have replaced human musicians with tech tricks and hired guns who are employees that could be fired and replaced, rather than an actual member of the band. I don't like her music, but she isn't evil, you incel.
Her fans still went after Violet simply for pointing out the truth that she could perhaps not contribute so much to climate change by flying everywhere.
People sent her SA and death threats for this. That’s why Dave decided to move the attention because her zombie-like fans won’t have the intelligence to spot the misdirection.
Taylor was playing at Wembley, Dave was playing at the Olympic Stadium the other side of London at the same time, both sold out with a similar crowd size. I think it was a mix of banter between musicians and deflection from the hate Violet was getting.
Plus for them both to put on a minimum 3 hour performance of that quality should be appreciated and commended.
This is my Hero! WATCH HIM AS HE GOES!!!!
Yeeeees
Lol
Yessir mine too!
Best comment😂
Same
I think some people overreacted a bit when Dave said that. In my eyes, he just said it as a joke not a personal jab at Taylor Swift.
Yeah Dave knows she's a real artist and you know who else? Liam Gallagher!
A local paper here in the UK reported it as Dave insinuating that Taylor doesn't sing live! Ha - it could be interpreted many ways, but that's just illogical.
It's obviously not a joke, and it doesn't have to be. He didn't lie though
6:11 Honestly that mistake only makes him more based lol
Not sure why anyone cares about this
Only care enough to comment. Running PR?
Exactly, he always jokes around and is almost never serious
Yet here we watchin
To be fair I don’t have no idea who Tyler Swift is, I’ve seen her on bus posters and saw her on Family Guy but if she past me in the Street like most pleberities I just could care, life it too short for me to pay attention to people who don’t matter to me. She might be an excellent vocalist or musician but I couldn’t care.
Whenever someone rips on a band or musician I like, I just say "Well, you're entitled to your own opinion, no matter how wrong you are", then I hang up the phone. We aren't always going to like the same music, Mom!
I was at that gig and it was very clear he was saying stuff to wind up the Taylor Swift fans that had been attacking Violet and drawing the fire from her to him. He was being a good Dad. On the Tube on the way to the gig there were some girls going to Taylor Swift who had no idea who the Foo Fighters were and couldn’t understand why there were just as many people going to see them as there was Taylor Swift.
I knew it’s not just a shallow dig at Taylor. Dave isn’t like that. He was just trying to be a dad and make his daughter feel better after all those cheap shots were taken at her by fans online. Context is everything, folks! Thanks for trying to clear it up, Tyler!
Playing over backing tracks is not playing live it is KARAOKE. Stop deleting comments.
Am I the only one who took this comment as a “we play live in general” vs “we play live and Taylor doesn’t”? Heard Dave talk very highly of Taylor in interviews, would not make sense for him to take a shot at her if that was his intention.
He absolutely was inferring that she doesn’t, which is the reason for the “WHAT?” at the end. Why else would he even say “we actually play live”? I’m pretty sure everyone there knows that already. But you really think he was saying that to inform his audience that they play live, in case they weren’t sure?
I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt for the same reason, but the whole context made it seem petty of him to me.
@@caitsimmons3691the TS fans going after his daughter, telling her they hope she gets assaulted and ends herself, are why this happened. It’s on them.
Yeah if it was to deflect criticism from his daughter then as a dad I 100% support him and love it. I was so surprised to hear him stirring shit, but this makes sense.
Wife loves T-Swift, got into her about 5-6 years ago. I enjoy most of her music now, too... Pop music is kind of like that, hear it enough and it just digs in there.
As somebody who goes to a ton of concerts, and I do mean a ton. I can totally appreciate artists that actually play live. I want to see the improvised solos, I want to see the mistakes. I don't want to watch them dance around to a backing track. Recently saw Disturbed and falling in reverse in Knoxville Tennessee. I was on the side where I could see under the stage and falling in reverse had more people running computers making everything sound good than I'd ever seen in my life. Disturbed on the other hand, they actually played live. Can you imagine watching a blues artist faking an improvised guitar solo? That would be insane. Also saw Toto live fairly recently and it's amazing watching Steve Lukather improvising during every song.
He’s saying they make errors because they play live. Only thing having to do with Swift was the name of the tour joke.
This was a good ol' fashioned "Dad Joke" that was taken out of context. From Nirvana all the way through the Foo Fighters, Dave refuses to use a click track or backing track with queues. He'd rather smash it out old school and speed up and slow down when the song needs it... the band using audible and eyeball queues. I think most Taylor Swift fans don't realize that the majority of the songs have tracks with in-ear monitor queues... which is necessitated by the stage setup having half of the band on each side of the stage to allow for the aircraft hanger sized opening for dancers to come in and out, and also to keep Taylor singing with the band when she is half a football field away. It's also to keep all the video wall effects in sync with the performance. When she does the acoustic or piano songs (that she usually switches up from show to show) it's just her and the instrument live, and notably the video and lighting effects are minimal or simple washes. Both TS and DG are at the top of their class... they just are performing in two different physical layouts as he is the floor general in the middle of the stage with his bandmates circling him, and old school spotlights instead of video animations.
Excellent explanation. I think his legit anger over what his daughter went through was a motivator to keep riffing on the joke. Add a few beers and it's easy to see how it went awry and became a possible attack on Taylor's talent and professionalism. By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor's sound techs don't use much of her acoustic rhythm guitar playing when the full band is going. Though there's no doubt she's quite proficient on the instrument.
“The queen of ‘mostly’-live-performances.” 😂😂😂😂
They know each other so not sure how much of this is as serious a dig as people think. I’ve seen on sites that people who were there said the clip that’s floating around is somewhat out of context.
I love a good stage show and smoke and mirrors are certainly part of it. That being said, it's gotten out of hand. Dave grohl was merely pointing out the truth. What I find particularly disturbing is how upset people get at that truth And how others have to bend over backwards to explain it.
What’s the truth?
@@touringband the fact that some artists don't actually perform their parts live but lip sync or use backing tracks
@@petealba707 so nothing to do with Taylor then. Lol. I think I’ll go along with Tyler’s explanation.
@touringband I never mentioned her, I was thinking more about bands like Kiss and motley cruel who used to perform but use tracks now
@@petealba707 The furor is because Dave strongly implied that she uses vocal tracks - when there's no evidence that's the case. She does have really good backing vocalists, who have been with her for years, who will help out in certain passages, but most major artists do that and it's perfectly acceptable. Plus her backing band is top-notch. She's too smart to risk the major embarrassment of lip syncing to a vocal track. Some can't accept that there are some artists who are simply so well conditioned to be able to sing and dance for over 3 hours a night, multiple nights in a row. It helps that she's only 34, in prime health, and has honed her voice with years of genuine singing.
I doubt Taylor will be as popular in 60 years as the Beatles are now.
Exactly!! And why is that? Because there are thousands of talented ambitious 13 y/o’s out there writing and producing their own stuff and self promoting through socials, releasing their content on all the platforms and their generation (Taylor will be 35 yrs this year) will have its own pop stars for them to all obsess and go nutz over. There is no longevity in pop stardom.
Beatles was a time period thing as well. Rock and roll was on the up, television was becoming popular. Everything clicked for them. Regardless of quality, music is over-saturated now. I don't think in the 2050s will we ever refer to the 2020s music the way we referred to looking back to music in the 1960s or 1970s.
I mean, maybe not. If I was good friends with Paul McCartney I probably wouldn't care if my music lived past my death.😂 Him being a friend would be enough, but a fan too!? I would die happy. Kinda weird ppl always say shit about her vs the Beatles when he likes her/her music lol
Not sure anyone will. But she’s sure as hell huge right now.
The most old white guy comment ever.
I seen on fb someone say the support paramore was awesome and they preferred them to Taylor (fair enough not everyone’s taste in music is the same) but some swifties where then posting pictures of those people’s families even young children saying they were going to do awful this to them. It’s disgusting
That's because hailey can actually perform without looking like she's not sure of what she's doing...
@@diegolatorre6793they just performed together recently
@@caitsimmons3691 great for taylor.
Well if it was on Facebook it must be true!
Dave might be the celebrity I would most like to hang with. Him and Jack Black. Cool as shit.
Hack Black
Jack Black yes, but Dave’s gone down the leftard pipeline with too much gusto for me to be able to stand him outside of his musical endeavors.
@@BasedHyperboreancry about it
@BasedHyperborean Oh good. I was worried nobody would drag politics into this.
@@511sndman who would have thought. I’m not sure why people bring that into it in literally every conversation about music. Who cares?
Props on having Jeff Beck's "There and Back" on the shelf in the background.
Here in London we do it well! I saw them on Thursday night. Banging gig😊
As a FOH engineer with a production company I can tell you there are more tracks and racks of shit to fix things than live musicians for sure. Music was better when they let ugly people make it.
Taylor just full backtrack is like a karaoke video..no wonder they can
Play 3hr...and don't have any "errors" out tuned
Not gonna lie, i think taylor swift is probably the biggest "musician" of this generation but she never really does anything to stop her toxic fan base
No one can control crazy people.
@suzanneemerson2625 you can say something and condemn it. Takes like 1 minute.
@@dropkickpherby6994i’m not a taylor swift fan but we can’t blame everything on her. at the end of the day fans do act how you cultivate them, but if you don’t then they develop their own identity. she doesn’t really “cultivate” her fans so she can’t really be responsible for how they develop. also it’s much too late to control them with how big she is
Absolutely agree.
dude, have you ever tried to control a teenager? Works REEEAAL good
Freaking excellent video you are the man you know what's going on you got a brain keep up the good work love your content
is that audioslave album on the shelf? Absolute banger of an album!
It’s much easier to be “as big as the Beatles” in today’s world.
Meaning I don’t think it’s fair to compare any modern artists fame to the Beatles.
The Beatles were HUGE before the internet, before all the technology that makes music easily accessible to all. That’s a higher achievement in my opinion.
Pretty interesting perspective, Adele.
I disagree completely with that statement. When the Beatles were huge there was only, like, 5 other bands!
@holdtightadele8017 these days there's more "artists" but none are really "artists" but a return to the pre Beatles business model of singers who often can't even sing without the aid of computers, singing songs they didn't write, written by an army of "professional" songwriters...the fact Taylor Swift actually can sing well, plays several instruments decently, and writes her own songs alone is enough to make her stand out, although I don't think she's made much very good since Evermore...but when she's doing everything right she can make beautiful songs that the lyrics can put the image of what she's singing about straight into your head...the first lines of All Too Well are great examples of this.
It’s actually been explained in details by articles from Billboard and other reputable sources that with the death of monoculture, people’s attention span going down and the endless amount of content available at one’s finger tip, it is much harder today to be “as big as the Beatles” than it was during the Beatles era.
Sure the barrier of entry is much lower, so almost everyone can get a shot at getting in the spotlight. However, capturing such a large audience’s attention for such a long period of time, that is a lot harder.
@@officialWWMtf you talking about, you know that there is other bands outside the English speaking world right?????
I was at the show, i didn't know all that about violet grohl and the swifties but the impression i got from everything he said is that dave was a bit salty that taylor swift was performing at wembley stadium and not the foo fighters. He mentioned several times about how their first big stadium show was at wembley and so on and did seem a little bitter about not performing there this time.
Its a tricky one. I was there that night too and it felt a bit like that - were Dave and the boys a little put out at not playing Wembley? I didn't know about the Violet stuff either. I did wonder why Violet was crying at the end of her performance, which made me think about what was actually happening - it seemed the emotions were more than just the occasion of the huge event. For me I guess it's a bit of everything. Like most things in life, things can get so foo-kin complicated without even trying. Wembley or 'West Ham'; 80,000+ people rocking and/or popping out has to be a good thing. It's music, it's an experience, it's people. I'll be there with 80 or 80,000 others next time. In my EXTREME T-Shirt, like I was - rocking out. 🤘😁🤘
The world is a stage, we are the suckers are suckers paying to watch and be decieved.
Your from Boston I’m guessing
He is from North Carolina, lives in Tennessee.
As a (northern) Bostonian myself he doesn't scream Boston to me.
You're
Thumbs up for the Celtics hat 👍
Also, I think this is the best analysis and commentary I've heard on this situation. Thumbs up for that too 👍
Uh, Dave did actually play with a track on Top of the Pops with Nirvana. It was the most hilarious Top of the Pops performance in history.
Dude, Hendrix mimed to a backing track on ToTP.
The girl in the Nirvana t-shirt may only be wearing it because it is fashionable. She may not even know any of their music.
Dave has talked about people using tracks often. I think he was leveling a wisecrack at bands in general. Not just Taylor Swift.
Tyler, i’m thankful for social media because it allows me to see all kinds of people I would not know about ,like yourself.
I hate the fact that social media gets used to attack people.
In the words of Kevin Nealon’s character from happy Gilmore……
“ harness good… block bad”😂
Ironically they're BOTH awesome human beings, and great role models.......fans need to chill TF out!
I was at that show, sat next to my sister in law who a few days before attended the Taylor.swift show and was wearing her bracelet 😅
Fantano is so desperate to fit in the younger pop culture and be relevant as the "cool" guy that knows about music that he would call anybody a "grandpa".
Grohl didn’t say Swift didn’t play live though. He made the “Eras” / “Errors” joke, and then said that they made errors because they actually play live. There may be an implied popat her I guess, but I took it as him having a dig at bands using backing tracks.
Having a 10 year old daughter means the Eras concert is on in my house a LOT. I never really got Taylor, never really cared, always thought "that's for someone else, but it's not for me." Then I watched her performance of "Tolerate It" and I got it. I'll never categorize myself as a Swiftie, but I understand why a particular audience is rabid for that artist and she fills up stadiums. Her songs can be quiet and intimate and in a fans earbuds where they can dissect the lyrics, and then her show is a full on other-world immersive experience complete with blinky wristbands that flow with the concert.
There’s few people I disrespect as much as Taylor Swift, but Fantano is a contender
Knowing the context, Beck, Frampton and family on display in your bookcase . Yeah, Jeff Beck and Peter Frampton should be family LoL
I recently saw some clips of Paramore opening for TS in the UK. The shows are sold out but the seats were pretty empty when Paramore was playing. Paramore is a headline band with lots of great songs and a great singer. What does it say about the TS fans that hardly anyone was watching? Like the Beatles and Elvis, it is a mania. Could be decades before most people judge her based on the music and not the mania.
I would argue Beatlemania never went anywhere
Let's keep performances pure! That means live. No back tracks, cloaking or masking. You can or you can't! The issue is that most artists today don't sound the same as heavily produced. Performing live is bad for business.
Love the hat. True story. I once told Taylor Swift to get out of my way and she did.
Sir did I see you playing live on TV for a CMT event?
I think you are bang on with this video. Also I wish swifties could grasp that she is not a teenager. She's an adult. Whatever his intention, Dave was not picking on a little kid.
The fact that Taylor Swift is so popular is more evidence of the moral decline of our society.
Everyone messes up. I saw Bob Dylan (I was actually at the show) knock over the microphone, not once, but like four times. It just kept happening. But he's probably toured more than anyone, and is still touring. So he can pretty much do whatever at this point.
I think there's probably more to it than that. Maybe it had to do with Violet but I wonder if Dave reached out to Taylor and asked her to publicly ask her fans to call off the dogs but she didn't and that pissed Dave off.
In the UK its called "banter", a total non-story gone mad cos of the internet and Swifties with no sense of humour. Far worse things have been said between bands / artists, get a grip
Taylor Swift is a coorperation not a person. Fans are fans.
Dave Grohl is 100% right Dave was in Nirvana he worked on tape not midi maps, no hate just reality she has a songwriting team.
When he added the "whaaaatt" at the end you can tell he was just poking fun and not being serious but fools without comprehension ability or Swifties (one in the same, usually) don't understand humor. Swift is an entertainer who uses very formulaic music and productions to entertain. You know what you're going to get and that's fine. Heck, a number of big artists had fantastic backing bands and weren't great musicians or sometimes singers themselves but put on a great show. Bon Jovi was a decent singer until his voice gave out but not a great musician but his band was tight. Jimmy Buffett was an average singer and guitar player but the Coral Reefers were truly top tier and Jimmy was a great story teller. While Garth Brooks is a far more talented singer and player than Swift and a lot of other people he still used a very tight production style similar to Swift to give audiences the most consistent experience. So Swift's style doesn't bother me. What has always puzzled me though is that she built such a fan base with a catalogue of five decent songs.
Dave has definitely been very complementary of Taylor in the past, so I definitely think this probably did have something to do with him being upset and defending his daughter since he mentioned her "wrath" before he even made the joke.
That said, Dave is kind of old school about "live" playing though and has been very outspoken against any sort of use of backing tracks, studio tricks and really computers in music, in general. He's taken a lot of jabs at EDM over the years IIRC. So I also think he probably at least half-way meant what he said to be taken as an insult.
I don't know, I see both sides of it all. Swifties are incredibly overreactive and overprotective about virtually any criticism which is the root of the problem. Attacking a girl for a minor criticism and then going crazy to defend the Eras Tour - a tour that has grossed over a BILLION dollars - doesn't seem like the best use of your time (I think Taylor is doing just fine). But on the other hand, criticizing Taylor for not "playing live" is a take I also don't agree with. Taylor DOES perform live to a good extent, and the parts that are backing tracks are more because the show is so much of a spectacle (tied to lights, visuals, stage theatrics, choreography) that it goes beyond just a "musical performance" IMO.
I really don't think she uses vocal tracks at all. She has really good backing vocalists who have been with her for years. They're very in sync with her vocals, and all of these performances are thoroughly rehearsed. Does that rule out something like live Auto-Tune? No. However, I believe Taylor is too smart to risk the major embarrassment of being discovered using that, either.
@@AlphaLimaXray I definitely agree with you. I was referring more to just general samples and sounds and cues being added to the otherwise live mix. There's a lot of non-organic things going on to beef up and fill out the mix (and again, I don't mean this in a negative way - it's common practice for soooo many artist). Just like using a small bit of pitch correction, it's all for the point of making it more of a spectacle and a show vs. a raw musical performance.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's a really goofy thing to make fun of. haha.
I was at the concert, I didn't know the context behind it till the next day, it was pretty much tongue in cheek.
And, all the people saying sure the stadium was empty, I can assure ye, it was not, those seats weren't for sitting in, 0 view from them.
Thing is if just do simple internet search you will find videos of her miming live. So Dave comment is completely valid as it is the truth.
Not the John Mayer G Shock while talking about the situation ( love the watch!)😂
Taylor swift has recorded 274 songs. That's around 60,000 words. I'm amazed she doesn't screw up a lot. I need my iPad on my stand for Kid Charlemagne, and I've been singing it for decades:) Anyway, let's all stay away from mob mentality(although, as a father, I would probably say something stupid as well if you attacked my daughter). I can respect any performer that creates music, gets up on stage in front of people and sings and plays, and employs musicians. Way to go Taylor! Foo Fighters is one of my favorite bands of all time:)
Taylor does make mistakes though. She forgets lyrics and choreography. Swifties post a lot of clips on social media. They tag them "the errors tour."
Phineas T. Barnum's quote comes to mind: “There’s no such thing as bad publicity." Dave is helping himself get some publicity as well as Swift. But i don't think that's why he said it either. I don't normally choose to listen to Taylor's music, but after seeing her ERA's movie, I was surprised at what a good performer she is. I didn't go see her downtown in the rain last time but everyone that I know said it was really good. Is it true that she allegedly doesn't play "totally" live? P.S. Love the preview of your new album. Fat sound all the way.
Honestly crazy anyone would attack someone else for a person who doesn’t know you exist. I get into my music as much as anyone but since when is it bad for people to have differing opinions? Swifties just don’t really have anyone else but themselves to blame for their bad rap. Its not all of them, but some people just need to chill out honestly.
I personally don’t really have much against Taylor. The only thing I think she does wrong or really what she doesn’t do is control her fan base. When you’re an artist as big as her, you are kind of responsible for your fan base in a very small way. I guarantee you if Taylor said “my favorite animal is the albino deer”, all the swifties would say the same. So when they are giving death threats, all it takes is for Taylor to say knock it off, and most would stop. Either way, respect to Taylor, she’s accomplished a lot.
she refused to condemn it or even support the victims ... one of the victims of racist death threats was a literal child actor who made a joke about her on Ginny and Georgia. She probably couldn't stop %100 of the bad behaviour, but she could at least show she disproves of it. If it stops one threat it's worth it.
The swifties are going after Kurt now, Swifties better calm down before Frances and Courtney find out.
She's as big as the Beatles? Really? 🙄
Thankfully my daughter is one of the creative type swifties! She's been writing her own songs on guitar and piano for two years now, and we have recently been going into a legit studio and recording with real musos on real instruments...it's been fantastic! Great experience for a 16 yr old...the current one we're tracking has a friggin dulcimer and slide pedal steel guitar on it! Keep it real folks ❤
I once saw Rod Stewart. It took him 15 minutes to start off the song "Young Turks." Eventually, he had to get a lyrics sheet.
Wow, performers are human.
4:48 that has to be fake... it so beautifully fortuitous
Dave Grohl says in his book (or in an interview idk) about a time when he was drunk at a party and he and Taylor sang "My Hero" together.
I bet it was just a dig at a friend, and nothing more.
FANTANO MENTIONED RAHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Mostly live performances"? I've been listening to some of Taylor's Eras tour videos on youtube, and I'm under the serious impression that certain songs 50-80% if backtrack singing/mostly lip synching.
Resoect to DG for being a protective Dad but perhaps VG should look 'closer to home' before putting out comments to enrage Taylor and the Swifties? There might be tour buses for some legs of his tours but DG & Foo Fighters are probably racking up the air-miles too. Taylor's show is so big that multiple-day 'mini-residency' at some of the biggest venues in the World is probably dictating the logistics too
I'm sure it's easy to find - Dave Grohl talks about the time TSwift saved him during a party at Paul McCartney's place. Classic.
6:06 nah he downed that beer just fine... and himself XD
HAHA - I was at this gig, They were amazing, never been to a Taylor Swift gig, but my friend I was with has been and she say that Taylor puts on a good "show"
I like Taylor but wouldn't want to be in a room with a bunch of insane swifties!
The Swifties are just so sensitive. We all make fun of famous artists. The Swifties act like it's pure sacrilege to make a joke about Taylor. What Dave said was completely innocuous
That Dave solo was something lmao
Can I have a guitar🙏🏻 I’ve been playing for 3 years and have yet to own an electric guitar🙌🙌
Why worry about what some empty pop musician does , they come and go ., like eb and flood , they will never stand the test of time like mozart or jimi hendrix .
Taylor Swift's evolution as an artist has seen a shift in her musical style, from her country roots where she could get away without singing in tune, to a more mainstream pop sound. With this transition, there has been a change in production techniques, including the use of autotune. Autotune, a pitch correction tool, is commonly used in the music industry to fine-tune vocals that are out of tune. While it was not a significant element in Swift's early work, it has become more prevalent in her later pop-oriented tracks. This is not uncommon, as many artists utilize such technology to achieve a particular sound or effect in their music when they are continually out of tune. Taylor has admitted that she uses auto tune and she stated she would not use it in the future, but that has not happened because she can't sing in-tune.
Interesting take, but i have to admit i was distracted a bit while listening because i kept thinking: "Oh, is that 'Once in a Livetime' by Dream Theater sitting there in the background? Nice!"
I absolutely believe that Dave Grohl has no axe to grind in general with Taylor Swift. That has never been his MO. He plays with everyone and I could be wrong but I would be willing to bet that these two will run into one another at some point and there will be a burying of the hatchet. I would not be surprised if either one of them quests at the other's concert.
Hi all Daves, I'm thinking that this Dave maybe means the music itself that may come as a backing track, most of this pop is computer generated
Dave Grohl: "We actually play live."
Swift9000: "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that."
As a Dad of a daughter, I wholly approve of this rigga- marole, razzmattaz, whatever it is....
Swift will never be as big as Elvis, fried peanut butter Banana and bacon sandwiches? That's enough calories for a month!
I highly doubt he was dissing her. Google the time they were at a Paul McCartney party and they wanted Dave to play a song but he was too high. Taylor saved his ass by playing Best of You on piano and he was very grateful once remembered it was his song.
About Grohl, probably only one who after breaking a leg shows up again with his leg in a package and finishing the show
There's a video when Dave had his broken foot and is playing "Summer of '69" and messes up the chord progression saying, "Who goes to G there?". Yeah, there's enough videos of him messing up. People need to quit making comparisons, Taylor Swift is an excellent song writer and performer. Her star will wane, but until then, let her enjoy the spotlight, jeesh. I know plenty of people who would give a limb to be where she is today.
When I heard he said that I immediately thought "there's more to that" because it's out of character. I've witnessed many many years of him being the absolute best person, best live performer, best rock musician, and doting father. Whatever is going on there is minor and worth dismissing. Love Dave. Highly respect Taylor. Let them be.
I still couldn't tell you one song she sings.
I was at the show it was... out of pocket, but meant to take the piss and to address the whole violet threats thing
“The Queen of mostly live performances “ 😂😂😂
Fan of both, even though im not a huge Nirvana girl. I've always found their relationship so cute, so I'm disappointed. Google Dave Grohl and Taylor Swift at Paul McCartney party. He usually talks VERY fondly of her as she saved his ass from embarrassing himself @ Paul's house by...coincidentally, playing HIS music..live.... It's more than OK if he wants her fans to stop/ask her to say something. The problem is The Foo Fighters fly private, too. That's why people freaked out. Taylor can't take public transportation, she would be swarmed and it would inconvenience others as well as be unsafe. She can't "just drive" all around the world either.
To be clear:
I don't think Violet should've gotten as insane of things said about or to her as she did, nor should anyone esp a teen. However, I was disappointed in Dave because I like his personality (at least how he seems..?) and Taylor's. Kinda felt like a stupid thing to say because most of her music is live. It's 45 songs night after night and she's done over 100 shows just on THIS tour. She sings the important things, but every single word? No. I don't think that's even possible tbh? Idc if he wants to critique her fans or her herself if she knew everything going down. Just say that though 🤷♀️ seemed petty for Dave imho.
Not sure if that was the same night Paul McCartney was at Swift's concert or not. Cute footage of him dancing with Swifties, though.
The "fans" who don't know him are mad and saying he's just old man, but the others who appreciate him are just disappointed.
Just the Taylor hate is big right now and everything is blown out of proportion.
In my opinion this wasn't jab at Taylor but at her band which is with her from the beginning and every swifty knows them. Imagine Dave being their idol and he's saying that they are not playing live ... Sad.. yes Taylor is the face but the fans knows every band member, every dancer and back up singer by names on that stage.
If he wanted to protect his daughter he should've said in that 🎤 - Hey Taylor nice tour but can you say something to your fans to live my daughter alone?
That was going to get her attention and if she didn't say anything about the topic then come at her stronger.
Let's be honest unhinged fans are all over the internet I'm not sure if she gets wind about everything. I heard when she knew the swifties were going after Jake she told them to stop.
I just love him and just felt disappointed at the moment.
I love Dave grohl, but a singers instrument is their voice, and Taylor does sing live. She does use tracks in the background but you do have to understand her music wasnt all created with instruments you can play live. Most aspects of her songs are created with a computer or with things you can’t play live. She has a live band which plays live, and you can tell because the guitarist is heavily influenced by EVH and plays his licks in her songs sometimes. She also has backup singers who sing…
@@stumpedthestump1275 yeh 100%, I would definitely prefer a full raw performance, but yeh its hard to compare the two when they perform completely different music. If another say rock band or a band similar to the foo fighters were using backing tracks, then it would be a bit different. That’s just how pop is, all of those artists like Taylor sing to these ‘backing tracks’
Pop singers are products not musicians
