It's an amazing song originally, and this version is good. Although I must say it's perhaps a little slow and miserable; like the song is chugging along to its logical conclusion and they can't wait for it to be over.

We all have Baba Booey to thank for it, he told them to play Everlong.
 
Not a Howard Stern fan but I have a digital copy of that performance. Still think it's the best version of it, ever.

The lyrics are good enough to where he can get away with this. Amazing song at any speed.

Never heard this version before, I quite like it.

Don't understand the hate for Dave and his band.  He seem well respected by his fellow musicians.

Still good because it is a great song, but give me the roaring and flaming original any time over this diluted version.

Grohl is a talented musician no doubt - genius on the drums (see who other great drummers recognise). He's songwriting can be a little hit and miss but at its best is wonderful. He didn't play on the first Nirvana album though, he joined them in '90 after the debut (Bleach).

Why would anyone care if you don't understand why Nirvana was so great?  You're the one who is missing out...

I really enjoy this song. I like the original better than this acoustic rendition, but still it's good stuff.

"2 meter sessies" is a great concept.

I like the original of this particular song beter though.

Can't really say that the original lends itself to this treatment...

The "2 Meter Sessions" is actually a program hosted by a Dutch radio DJ by the name of Jan Douwe Kroeske. Many, many famous and also less famous artists have been on the show and left some really impressive live registrations.

So actually, "2 Meter Sessions" is not the correct name, it's "2 Meter Sessies", pronounced in English it would be "Tway Mayter Sesseas".

I don't know the "rock" version of this song so hearing this with a totally clear slate. I like it! Nice flowing melody with catchy chords. A 7 to 8 for now. Very good musicianship.

Nice version. I thought it was a Pete Yorn cover at the start (that’s a complement believe it or not).

this actually is one of my favorite songs of all time.  I'm all for "unplugging".  However, this one just lost its pizazz  .  :(

accoustic versions of this song clearly show that it's a great tune and works pretty well with a singer-songwriter-sound, but the original rocker is sooooo much better for the ears

Decent acoustic - They do this live quite often.
Doesn't compare to recorded version. Perhaps best Foo song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice version, as most of the 2 meter sessions are. I gave it a 7.

I like the energetic original better though.
