This man is one of the sweetest and yet cleverest people i have seen. I could listen to him talk for days. He knows exactly what to say and what to do and what people want. Also he looks so happy here.

I was in the Army based in Germany and drove all the way back to be at that gig, it was amazing!! Well worth the 12 hour journey!!

Notice how always Dave adds "fucking.." to the start of the name of any band or artist he names? "I went to see fucking Radiohead.." "That fucking Katy Perry.." "We have to to be as big as fucking Metallica" Made me chuckle, oh Dave.

he's ALWAYS HAPPY thats why hes so great

For the record, this WAS the greatest f**king gig I ever saw (Sat night). Dave had nothing to worry about selling tickets for MK Bowl. I was online for an hour before they were released that morning, waiting to get my hands on enough for me and the others that were coming with me. Dave's the gospel when it comes to rock frontmen, simple as that. I love how they're still quite humble about their fame, but they are seriously the coolest and most talented guys in rock today.

He's really got it right. Foo Fighters at Milton Keynes was the greatest gig I have ever been to and probably will ever have been to. Probably the greatest day of my life. :)

MK bowl was amazing and of course they are massive!

The nicest guy in rock. Love it!

I wish that there was a clear view of the whole beer and a longer interview lol

Foos and Radiohead are my two favorite live bands too, living legends!

Just saying that Thom Yorke does not need to be freddie Mercury, his music speaks for itself, and the contrast with a Foo gig is enormous. Both different but equally entertaining.

I hope to god that that they never change their attitudes pretty fuckin badass for the biggest band in the world to be so humble

Best gig i ever went to along with iron maiden and red hot chilli peppers

I hope they play my concerts soon. It's my wish that I go see them sometime!

As a devoted Foo Fighters/ Radiohead fan, I agree that Radiohead at least "used to be" seldom to interacting with the crowd- "bringing it to the people" as a "performance". I fucking love when bands play b-sides there's nothing wring with that- yet I've seen a clear distinction between the way Thom Yorke and the rest of the band interact with the audience (especially Thom) now and pre-2006. They are a much more outgoing and interactive band live now that clearly is a result of age and wisdom.

I went to the Sunday show...god it was fucking incredible, this really takes me back and reminds me how great it was to see Grohl chugging a corona and all that shit

@manumCr89 True, I mean Thom Yorke isn't really a front man at all, He is really just part of the band whereas Dave really takes center stage. Its interesting because Foos and Radiohead are my two favorite live bands and its funny to see how different their takes on playing live are.

The beer doesn't go down, the head of the beer (the froth) does.

I was lovin this interview until he said Radiohead are bad live. They are fucking incredible live

Gotta love Dave Grohl!!!

best gig ever :)

Thank god you edited out all of the swear words...I would have been SO OFFENDED AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE VIDEO had I of heard a swear word..

"They love the new shit" (grins) LOL

Dave grohl said beastie boys that's fuckin beast

Rock n Grohl!

Goat Island was the greatese Foo show i have ever seen.

aha, Grohl recorded that with Novoselic when Cobain was absent from the sessions, most of the songs made it onto the album "Foo Fighters" but butterflies was not one of them

02.07.2011 - I WAS THERE :D

guy is my fucking hero

have you heard dave's old old stuff before foo fighters? Not Nirvana. Not Scream. Not Foo's. but what was his mix tape called?

I was there!!

@walkingafterfoo Yea that thing was distracting me. lol

@DaveySkate Do you know their song "Fire Away"

Best gig ever. Fucking Awesome

i'm 15 and i challenge anyone to name a foo fighters song i haven't heard of

I love Dave Grohl, and I respect him more than you think. (three of my untouchable favorite bands in the world are Radiohead, Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters). But i do not agree with him here, though it does give me some comfort that he gives a backhanded complement in a weird kinda Dave Grohl way, I've heard him before in other interviews give nothing but the utmost respect to them.

Dave, you broke my heart when you decided to talk shit about Radiohead.

I want to see him drink that beer!

I would love my beer to get colder!

He's always got a fresh pot.

Yo, drink that beer in front of you.

@monstermash2008able i'm pretty sure that is not a song by them, if it is, it certainly isn't on any of their albums

Im disctracted by AC/DC in the background sound... sorry

I guess you mean "Pocketwatch" which he published under the pseudonym "Late!"

I was FUCKING THERE!¬

Foo

hah well i'm 16 now, not that you really care lol, but winnebago, great song, never made it past the This Is A Call single

@redjess1206 i understand that, but you have to think about it this way: when you go to see a band play live, you dont just want to see the band robotically playing along. if youre going to pay good money for a show like radiohead would put on, then you are warranted to have some semi-high expectations. if you wanted to see lifeless beings singing the songs, then you could sit at home with your stereo and the pictures on album insert.

@TheTaylorAlexis The reason I lost respect for him over that comment is because if you are a real musician or music fan you know that the music should speak for it's self. The experience of seeing Radiohead play live is them being able to recreate their amazing songs live. If you can't enjoy a show without the members of a band trying to pander to an audience then you're not really appreciating the music.

Yes, dave! We love the new shit!

that floating pen is mocking me

We don't like the new shit. We fucking LOVE it.

Come back to Seattle Foo.

I know this comment is old but i just wanna see...Winnebago?

***** I dont think thats true at all, kurt seen aerosmith live and loved it, they are 'cockrock' as u put it. I think kurt would of loved the foo fighters and what dave is doing because its great, and honestly i think he wouldve hated radiohead.

Then you're going to a radiohead gig with the wrong expectations, what are you expecting, thom yorke stagediving when the glockenspiel kicks in on no surprises? Radiohead aren't a rock band just because 3 out of their 9 albums were guitar focused

JUSTIN!!!!!!

@SDLeeming He says it was a "Incredible show" but, lets face it, Thom Yorke isn't a great front man, you know, like doing participate people, he play beautiful music, but he doesnt care about what the audience think in their shows

i don't know who gave him that haircut, but it does not look right. his hair looks much much better now :)

i predict a riot in the background

aside from everything Mr. Grohl said, I found it interesting that they bleep out "fuck" but not "shit" ....hmmm

Butterflies? ;)

BEEEEEEEEER

Mountain Of You?

Have some more sips

@redjess1206 because he went to see a show and didnt get a show he should kiss their ass? he praised the band just seconds before he said that he was disappointed! id only lose respect for him if he was too scared to use their name out of fear of fans losing respect...

WTF is going on with the pen.

He loves talking shit! :))))))))

Why are you talking to yourself?

Damn, that Radiohead comment makes me think a lot different about Dave, don't know if I respect him as much now
