...i really really like this song, a lot, but something i can't quite put my finger on about that bass note is very reminiscent of early cure...something from faith or carnage visors, i think, i'm not sure...

Fooey...I love the Foo's but they aren't better than Nirvana

I think I concur

Gosh, I thought I was being pretty polite. I never watch Larry David, but I'll take your word for it. I can't think of a more polite way to point out they were being rude. "Don't be an asshole" is more rude, right? That's all I've got.

There is no musical similarity, zilch, nada, between Nirvana and the Foos.

The only connection is Grohl, in two completely different roles. I'm a big Grohl fan - for somebody who grew up in public he's remarkably level.

He was/is a great drummer but in my view Nirvana was an overrated band.

The Foos don't always hit the mark either, but when they do they're more musical than Nirvana ever was.

8 -> 9

Anyone saying "I'm sorry ________ but ____" is pretty rude in my opinion. Hellooooo Larry David!

1. I think the most obviously errant part of this comment is that you seem to think that FF is just Nirvana without Cobain. FF has ONE former Nirvana member, the drummer. This isn't like comparing Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship - they're totally different.

2. I think the frontman of a hard rock band SHOULD be a circus act.

3. If you have a problem with people being disappointed with life, okay. But let's not pretend like millions of people aren't just like him (myself included, some days). If you're never self-absorbed and pissed at the world once in a while, I honestly don't think I've met another person in the world like you. It's not uppers is it?

4. The history of rock music, if it shows anything at all, is that you don't have to be the best musician to be good. Cobain expressed how a lot of people feel sometimes, in a fairly original way.

I'm sorry it's not your thing. But I think you're being pretty rude about it.

I second that

This Cat is an excellent songwriter.

Love Dave Grohl's soft voice....

Just love this song, it really brings out my sappy side...

I'm not missing the music - that's the best part. But it's coming from those other guys in the band. Thanks for being easy on me I'm sure I pissed off a lot of people with my opinion :-)

I'm not even gonna try to explain it. If you don't see the importance of his influence and don't feel his music, then that's your own thing, but too bad, cause you're missing on some beautiful soul music.

I think that overrated circus-act of a frontman was choking this band off. It's nice to hear them in their proper form. I'm so sorry folks but I just don't understand why Cobain was so worshipped. He was just another self-absorbed, pissed-at-the-world child who couldn't relax and enjoy just being in a rock band. And he could not sing.

puts you in that mood if you know what i mean, makes me think of a friend long gone.

I agree!

Pretty good song. Simple yet very pleasant!

The Foos are awesome. Its great to hear them on RP! Check out their new acoustic live DVD. Great!

First time I heard Foo Fighters, I turned to my friend and said, "Wow - Who's pretending to be Nirvana, now that there's no Nirvana?!"

Well, now I know better. And FF is sounding less and less like that other incarnation, these days, as well. Whether that's good or bad, I'm still not sure...

Excellent..

Sounds like Nirvana, but half-asleep.

This comes in a two-cd set. The first CD is more typical FF hard rocking stuff. The second CD (from whence this song came) is very chill and lovely.

How is the rest of the CD?

That doesn't seem fair, as these guys are American. I would think Europe would have more than enough of its own trash to nominate.

And I, for one, really like this song.

This song was a finalist in last year's European Monotonous Song contest.

Each time I hear this song—I become even more addicted to the Foo!

Foo Fighters = musical brilliance
