I was at a Foo Fighters concert where Dave fell off the stage and broke his leg. But the concert didn’t end there. He went to the hospital, and in the meantime, the rest of the band entertained the crowd. Later, he came back, sat down on a chair with a guitar in his hands, and finished the concert. That shows the dedication this band has to their fans.

Nope, Kurt wasn't as good a singer. He was an artist that had a voice that encapsulated a time. But his contemporaries we're much better singers. Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Scott Weiland, Ed Roland, even Dave Grohl were all more talented vocalists than Kurt. What Kurt had was a feeling, his voice carried all the angst of youth and a sadness beyond his years. You could feel what he felt when he sang. But god damn songs like lake of fire sound like nails on a chalk board.

Brad said it's one of the songs no one remembers the lyrics. I remembered them pretty much the first time I heard the song. Easily my favorite Foo Fighters song.

I'll never forget that 3 or 4 years ago they were one of the very best live concerts i've ever experienced! No bullshit (only minimal, funny and meaningful small talk from the band) and just 2.5 straight hours of pure Rock n' Roll that sounded as good/and even better than the original studio recordings! Forever one of the best Rock n' Roll bands of my generation! R.I.P Taylor you'll never be forgotten!

This band has banger after banger. Was lucky enough to see Rick Asley perform with them last time 😉😂

I love the drums on this song so much.

What I get from this: In intelligence tests, one of the lower level types of questions is to show several items and say, "One of these things is not like the others" and ask you to identify it. Society pushes us to be just like certain patterns, and is sadly successful at it. "Be like this, not like your real self. Don't think independently, don't be your unique self, but follow and do as you're told." The protagonist refuses and chooses to think and act independently, "not like the others." He defies the efforts to mold him into a cog in the machine. But by the end, he's saying, what if I told you YOU'RE not like the others? Try that on. What would it be like to say and do what you really believe? To be your real authentic self? It's an invitation.

I've never clicked so fast before!!!

All I hear when I hear this song's chorus is the Sesame Street song - "One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong here"

Dave Grohl, the lead singer, was the drummer for Nirvana. He wasn't an original member, but joined in 1990 a year before they released the album Nevermind and became insanely popular. He was their drummer until Nirvana disbanded after Kurts passing in 1994. That same year he would form Foo Fighters. I'm not a fan of Screamo or screaming in Metal, but I definitely enjoy this style of screaming or growl (whatever you call it lol) in Alt/Grunge/Indie Rock and Dave Grohl's is easily one of my favorites. Highly recommend reacting to "Everlong" by The Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl's guitar riff in it is one of the most addicting sounds I've ever heard. Very first riff I learned to play too

Foo Fighters - All My Life
