Tom P. Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Best Foo Fighters song hands down.. Dave wrote it Circa 1991 about joining Nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyMackey Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Oh so we're talking about Foo Fighters now. And then possibly the best performance of Everlong (and my personal favorite): http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=FLMbMvCdrfLtUGPv94WYeoig&v=iiJPP4r4-Hw&feature=player_detailpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom P. Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I love February Stars. That song and alot of others off that album are written about Kurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyMackey Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Really? I've read that "Friend of a Friend" was the only song about Kurt. Well, some of the newer songs from Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace and Wasting Light did mention Dave's past with Kurt, but I think that's it.

Well, some of the newer songs from Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace and Wasting Light did mention Dave's past with Kurt, but I think that's it. Kurt was born in February. My Hero is for sure about Kurt. There are bits and pieces of A LOT of Foo songs that are about Kurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyMackey Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ehh, many people say that. From what I've seen from quotes by Dave (from here): February Stars: "Just a song about hanging on by the tips of your fingers and hoping you don't slip and fall." My Hero: "That's my way of saying that when I was young, I didn't have big rock heroes, I didn't want to grow up and be some big sporting hero. My heroes were ordinary people and the people that I have a lot of respect for are just solid everyday people - people you can rely on." Not trying to prove you wrong, just pointing out what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Politeness Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well to continue with the Foos theme, this I gotta say is the best live video from them. It may not be the best performance sound wise, but you really get the sense of how it sets in for Dave that over 80,000 people have come to see them. Shows how much of an impact they have on the modern rock scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC9knDTlc-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom P. Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 February Stars: "Just a song about hanging on by the tips of your fingers and hoping you don't slip and fall." Doesn't that translate to getting over Kurt's death? lol I'm not trying to argue either. I'm just pretty damn sure it's about Kurt. Foo's at Wembley is one of the best shows I've ever watched.

Excerpt from Wikipedia: "February Stars The lyrics are said to be about "hanging on by the tips of your fingers and hoping you don't slip and fall." This song dates back to at least January 1994, when an early take of the song with alternate lyrics, titled "Dave/Acoustic + Voc" was recorded by Grohl and Krist Novoselic on Harmonium during Nirvana's last recording session." From what I can tell from this, the song was started much before Cobain's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyMackey Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 In your defense, Dave has a way of making songs that can be misinterpeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
