His laugh makes me happy
Pat was in the Germs. Big influence on Dave and Curt. Later joining up with Nirvana. Pat is a legend in his own right for sure.

Nate is also a lowkey legend, he played bass on the "good" Sunny Day Real Estate records.
Oh my god they actually captured Nate smiling and in a relative good mood. This will go down in history.

@@behindthewallsleepin he's just a very reserved person, doesn't often talk in interviews and rarely smiles or laughs (which says a lot since he's in a band with Dave Grohl)
So nice being able to see an interview with the other 3 members of the band. Most of the interviews are usually just Dave and Taylor. I love watching their interviews but I also want interviews with Nate, Chris and Pat.

I met these three guys once in Cleveland, they were all sitting around a TV talking about music. and I gotta tell ya they are all pretty fun loving, nice guys.
seriously some legendary dudes sitting here. if it weren't for pat smear & the rest of the germs, underground/DIY would be totally different. and of course nate & the lads in sunny day real estate were groundbreaking for so many other bands to come after them. the individuals in the foo's don't get enough credit for their groundbreaking & highly influential work pre-foo

everytime i think of the foo fighters i always think about pat smear and how cool of a dude he is. homeboy was in the germs, that's rad
They have my eternal thanks for defending us against the terrible Foo. Thank you for showing the public the services they do for the community
If it wasn't for these guys the terrible Foo would've taken over the world by now, thanks a lot my dudes and keep up the good fight.
Pat is fucking awesome.
The best part of the Foo Fighters!
"People actually like it" RIP Sunny Day Real Estate.

No Use For A Name and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes were HUGE in the 90s punk scene. Honestly there are probably more people who would recognize one of their songs than any Germs song. The Germs were undoubtedly great and iconic but I wouldn't call them well known to the average person. Any kid growing up in the 90s buying punk compilations knows Chris's bands. Sunny Day Real Estate was also a huge part of the early Emo scene. All 3 have been in really iconic bands.

I wonder if that’s an Orange Dual Terror in the background?
Anderson Cooper looks like an old Chris Shiflett.
That wasn't cool Nate Sunny Day was an awesome band.

Don't sell yourself short Nate people loved Sunny Day Real Estate. Well not it's lead singer Jeremy, but other people!
Não acredito q um baterista desse foi comparado com travis Barker !! 😒😒
I had the privilege of meeting Kurt in 1998, we talked for about 3 and a have hours about being on tour. I wanted to ask about Courtney but i didnt want him to think about her, we went back to my hotel and did the devils tango.... I have never told anyine this!! DO NOT TELL CORTNEY OR FRANCES OR DAVE you can tell Krist because he was there. 🤭🍆🥛
Sunny Day Real Estate and Jeremy Enigk have written many better songs than The Foo Fighters. See Cannons by Jeremy Enigk. The Ocean, J'Nuh, the whole How It Feels To Be Something On record, 47, One, Tearing In My Heart.... so much more real emotion.

you could have just said SDRE and anyone could have listened to any one of their songs and it would be better than 90% of what the Foo Fighters have released in the past 20 years
We do what Dave tells us to because we like money and fame.
