I just watched an interview with Billy Corgin (Smashing Pumpkins) where he basically complained for 15 minutes about how he has literally hundreds of new song ideas but people only want to hear the big hits and he hates playing them. Then I come here and watch this and you can physically see Dave Grohl's face light up when he talks about how many times he's played Everlong and how it still feels good. What a contrast.

Dave's train of thought always impresses me. "We need to find that demo. We should release it." 95% of other musicians NEVER want their raw work exposed because to them they don't want anyone to see anything but their finished vision for the song. Not Dave. He understands that the journey is half the fun. Fans deserve to experience some of that journey as well.

THEY NEED TO RELEASE THAT DEMO!!!!

My brother played this song for my sister at her wedding, and it was a big part of her life. She passed away a month ago, and I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to this song without thinking of her, and that is in no way a bad thing. If anything it's made it more meaningful for me.

"Gotta find that. We should release that." UH. YEAH.

I adore Dave Grohl!!! He has no sense of arrogance or snobbery only humility! The fact that he hasn't reached the point where he says ," I'm sick of performing this song!" is baffling and wonderful!

Just the first 2 seconds of Everlong gives my heart a start.. I love it that much !

Everlong's lyrics are just so powerful and sum up so many feelings in one line, over and over again through put the whole song. This song definitely got me through some shitty times.

Taylor played Everlong live hundreds of times over 25 years. That's a hard song to play, and he was able to do it with Dave Grohl right in front of him. That's how you know he was one of the greatest. R.I.P.

Everything Taylor said is true, I remember having this album early on because I loved the first one so much. Everlong was great but it wasn't any bigger than any of their other songs until years later. I never even saw the video until much later... I will always remember going to visit the grave of a friend of mine who was killed by a drunk driver at the age of 14 (this is in 1997) I was in the passenger seat, my mom was driving and we were almost at the cemetery when this song comes on the radio. I started to lose it at that line "if everything could ever feel this real forever" by the time we got to my friend's grave I was a mess... powerful emotions...thanks to this song I will always remember my friend. RIP Brandon, my thoughts go out to your mom & your sister

"Breathe out, so I can breathe you in"

I miss the old Foo Fighters music videos with stretchy faced Dave Grohl.

I know this comment is going to get lost in here somewhere, but Everlong truly is the only song to make me tear up whenever I hear it. First song I learned on Guitar and Bass. First Rock song I memorized the lyrics to. First song I sang to my first love. The song I played during my subsequent first major heartbreak. My sister even knows that I want this song to be played at my funeral. It just speaks to me in a way that I don’t understand.

Dave Grohl is the most down to earth chill rich guy and musician ever.

this is a song, you just cant get tired of listening to.

My favorite song of all time.

My girls favorite song of all time, she always holds my hand whenever this song plays. It absolutely crushes her and I love that. We will always love Foo fighters

They have to find that DEMO!!!

Pat: yah... yeah that's true... uh huh... Chris: nope I'm not in the band yet that time... nooope.

Dave is one of those guys who can't stop touching the people sitting around him whenever he asks a question and I love it.

I only "loved" the song when I first heard it ages ago, today I can't imagine living without it. Means the world to me.

I like how these guys downplay one of the greatest songs ever written/played. Humility

Still waiting for that fucking demo!!!!!!

Pat Smear seems like the nicest guy ever. I'd love to have a beer with him.

A true legend.

He got it right at the end... I remember when I finally saw them live, singing Everlong, it was just awesome and magical and I felt deeply connected with it. I was in fact thinking (and wishing): "If everything could ever feel this real for ever, if anything could ever feel this good again"... One of the best moments of my life, no doubt

One of my nurses played this song for me after my triple bypass surgery. She was like : You know, like David Letterman?! i had no idea what she was talking about at the time. Now this song is forever ingrained in my life playlist.

Thumbs up if you knew Everlong was an all-time rock hit back in '97.

The song is the perfect nostalgia soundtrack...the perfect day/night/time of your life song...it makes you reflect.

The way he described how “Everlong” feels is exactly how it hits me. It’s a magical song. It’s connected to the first time I ever feel in love. At 13 I can still remember what it felt like to hear this for the first time. I almost Married the girl years later, but this song will always be a time machine for me. Full of so many beautiful memories.

this song always makes me feel nostalgic and i want to relive those halcyon days of the 90s again

Foo Fighters are a modern day Who, we are truly Blessed.

I remember the Howard Stern acoustic version. It means a lot to me. I heard it live on the radio while driving around Queens NY looking for my my girlfriend who never came home the night before. She was with another guy. It was an unforgetable song during an unforgetable moment in my life.

I've heard this song live twice...each time they did an acoustic version where they left the main stage, walked out onto a catwalk that was in the middle of the floor/pit area with a mini stage set up. They had a violin player- so beautiful. (they also played Hero like this)

I’ve heard this song an unimaginable amount of times, and it still gives me chills when I listen to it. The Foo Fighters are definitely the most influential band of my life.

Everlong IS THE BEST SONG EVER!

Everlong makes my heart break and rejoice at once

Every time i hear all the older Foo Fighters song it always remind me being on the radio when I was a kid when my dad had the radio on.

I still remembering listening to him perform it Live on Stern. Gave me chills when I was listening.

This song isn’t just music it’s a feeling. I can remember sneaking into my brothers room to steal this album and would play “Everlong” and “Up In Arms” on repeat. Damn. it takes me back to my old bedroom every time I hear this song or album.

One of the things I love about Dave Grohl is that he's a really chill and down to earth kind of guy. He just seems like the type of guy who'd be awesome to hang out with. I love the Foo Fighters, honestly I do. Dave's musicality does it for me, not to mention his energy and stage presence

Still one of my favourite videos of all time. It portrays slipping in and out of sleep so well. The part where Dave holds the logs, wooden legs and they turn to nunchucks is so perfect. And Taylor going from a sleeping beauty to rocking out on drums is genius!

Bringing this CD home and hearing this song for the first time was so amazing. Louise Post harmony is magical. I love everything about this song.

I remember on that Howard Stern appearance, Dave was originally going to play For All The Cows from the s/t album, which Stern did not want to hear, and favored hearing this new song Dave had called Everlong. "Yeah play that one...no cow song please" or something along those lines. Thanks Howard Stern! Birth of a classic.

The colour and the shape is one of my all time favorite albums!!! Cover to cover its incredible!

Why did this video bring back memories of stuff that I would have never thought of if I wouldn’t have watched this

“I gotta find that we should release it” ... RELEASE IT

The colour and the shape will be remember forever as a genius album... absolutely amazing

This song will forever be engraved on my heart!!

It's definitely a song I could never get tired of listening to, its really cool to hear how it took so long for the song to get popular. I don't really remember hearing it on the radio but I found it a few years ago on spotify and can't stop listening to it.

The acoustic one gives me feels when the crowd sing along ❤️

Such a great song. It’s still one of my absolute, all time favorites. Over 20 years later and I never get sick of hearing it

Nothing short of an epic song. Dave is an awesome songwriter and musician. Not all FF tracks are home runs for me but overall their discography is pretty amazing. Still love the first album the best.

One of the greatest songs ever written

The comment this song took years to really catch on, for me as the years fly by, I'm 58, this song gets better and makes me feel younger through time. That is a fucking awsome feeling so I hope it keeps this appeal for me. Thank you so much for this song and the collaboration of this FONAMINAL GROUP. 👍🏻👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻👊🏻✊🏻👁👁🌬💀🌬💀🌬💀🌬💀☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

My son who has a delay, first sentence was “Alexa play foo fighters everlong” demanding our Alexa to play the song for him. He is now 6 and still rocks out to everlong and many other songs by foo fighters. This song will always remain special to me ❤️

Everlong ranks as a Top 20 song of all time. After watching this it could rank in the top 10.

Seen them live three times, in little loser town Saskatchewan. Probably one of the most amazing artists ever.

I actually woke up to this song as a kid (wasn't wayyyy into rock just yet but just enough to dip a toe in) but I kept asking "Who the fk is that??? WHO IS THAT???!??" (Said as my radio was on a rock station of course) and the radio guy never said who it was after the song ended. Fast forward a year or 2 later and they finally said it (because I'd always come late on the song). Fast forward even further to when Little Nicky (the movie) came out and they had the scene where Everlong was as an acoustic version and I just melted everywhere (still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard both acoustic and regular).

This song manifested a whole lot of gravity for me when David Letterman hand selected this song for his last show. Pure magic. Lightning in a bottle.

Holy crap, I think this is the first time I've ever heard Pat Smear speak since I first saw him with Nirvana in the 90s

Chris is sitting there thinking, "I have no business being here"

Ever long gives me goosebumps every time

Just to see how Dave is so invested in this song is so amazing! Bravo 👏 👏 👏

i like how he talks about michel gondry because i discovered foo fighters from a michel gondry dvd full of his music videos, and everlong was among those.

I was 16 when this song came out listening to it now just brings back amazing memories of me and my best buddy playing guitars together in my mum and dad's house. Foos were relatively new band colour and shape album is fucking awesome even to this day, Everlong great song great memories love it.

Hey Pat! How times have changed from the old SST Superstore! Wow, I’m 63 now and my life couldn’t be more different than it was when that song first came out. Dave being from DC and Pat being an acquaintance from LA, well, it made me real proud of them and the two cities I had called home and been part of the punk scene in. Now being an old fart in Texas, it seems like a billion years ago.

Dave, u have been through so much in ur life, & u have had those hard & real & sad & beautiful times make such an impression on u, then u weild them into songs, then everyone hears ur life in those songs & they love it!! Of course its still great!! You are great! & thats an understatement!!

I'm not a huge Foo Fighters or Nirvana fan, but Dave Grohl is such a cool, down-to-earth guy, I can't help feeling like it would be so much fun to actually get to know him. He just seems so real. Oh, and Everlong is a GREAT song.

This song takes me back to an amazing relationship I had and lost and likely won't find that connection again.

First album I ever owned, got it when I was 11, became a life long fan.

Pat smear just seems like such a humble dude.

This song has one of my favorite single lyrics of any recorded music. The only thing I'll ever ask of you, you gotta promise not to stop when i say when. I love that lyric...

Dave Grohl is the Keanu Reeves of Rock

The wife walked down the aisle to this song (the acoustic version) love this song always!!

fantastic, amazing and incredible song! one of my favourites of ANY band

Song is a big part of my childhood! Love it ❤️

This song has always been everything!💜

The Foos must have a treasure trove of amazing unreleased material and alternate takes. I hope there's a Foo Fighters box set one day. Throw in the PPV from Atlanta in 2000 while they're at it.

I jammed out to this song so hard when I got married. To this day my wife doesnt know why I love this song so much!!! Thank you Dave!

That’s really cool to hear DG say that- about the energy from the crowd when Everlong is performed- especially bc I DEFINITELY FELT IT both times I’ve seen FF live. 🥰🥰💗💗🤙🏼🤙🏼🤟🤟🤟🔥🔥🔥🔥

Took a while for Everlong to catch on? it was on the radio every 5 mins when the album debuted. It was an instant hit!

Luv this song since day 1!! You ROCK guys 😁

People really love that song. Still. That's good.

what is he talking about? I heard Everlong 8 bajillion times when I was a teenager - it was all over MTV - and I couldn't get enough of it. Still can't get enough of it. I used to set the bass boost on my cassette walkman - BETWEEN high and low - it would make the headphones super loud - I taped my buddy's copy of Colour and Shape

I walked down the aisle at my wedding to this song. Nothing else would do honestly.

What's awesome to see is how much there music has progressed mind blown not many artists can pull that off

Love seeing what go on behind the scenes.. And Dave’s always down to earth. In ‘82 I was a senior at a private school in Az and this 9 grader “kid” came in 1/2 way thru the year... he was (still is) a guitar phenom. We’d jam Police tunes and Curtis would play Stings bass lines and Andy Summers pieces on the same guitar at the same time, perfectly. I remember like it was yesterday. I understand he went on to produce stuff for Motörhead, Train and The FOO FIGHTERS. Check out CURTIS MATHEWSON Vexe’ music. Bravo

My favorite song of all time. "Gotta find that. We should release that." UH. YEAH.

One of the best songs ever written and performed

I love how Taylor sort of knows all the ins and outs of the history of the band as if he's a fan and not really a part of the band, you can tell he's so proud to be a part of this band

First time I heard this song was on one of Warren Miller's ski/snowboard movies. Was just magical. Still my favorite Foo Fighters song.

Thanks for your contribution, Nate.

I totally remember what Taylor is talking about. When that album came out none of us said it was "the cookie" or something, it had to marinate for many years to become the classic that it is

The color and the shape is the album that got me into the foo fighters. I'm still a fan to this day.

I got this album when it was first released and I had only heard My Hero on the Radio and MTV. After playing that song out a few times I just put the CD on repeat all and went to sleep. When I awoke I had 2 new favorite songs Everlong and Hey, Johnny Park ! I was a hipster before it was uncool and I took great pleasure in the fact that most people would overlook those songs. When they released the Everlong video I thought, I'll always have Johnny Park.

GIVE US THE DEMO FOR FUCK SAKE

It's such a great song, musical genius talent. Thanks you guys

One of my favorite song. Top 10 for sure.

Spent my 20's going to shows in the 90's in Seattle....best time of my life.
