Rivers being a cameo in every Marc video is like Stan Lee in every marvel movie

VOTE FOR GROHL 2024

"I feel bad about the bad things, I feel good about the good things, but I wouldn't change a thing." Is honestly such an amazing quote

My favorite album by the Foo Fighters. It’s such a fantastic record with an interesting backstory to it. It’s also release date neighbors with OK Computer being released one day earlier. Both are two of the greatest albums I’ve heard.

Everlong to me is the best song. I know they have many many hits, but everlong to me has this sound like no other.

The "Pulling a sphere inside out" video in the background goes hard

Everlong is a timeless masterpiece

everlong gives off a feeling unlike any other song its timeless.

The Colour and the Shape is honestly my favorite rock album ever, and the story behind it makes me apricate it even more. ALSO, how the heck is this guy under 100k at this point?!? Your Nirvana and Weezer videos were fricking great, keep up the awesome work man! :)

Monkey Wrench is another song from this album that I love. It was the first single they released from the album.

Marc is always putting out hysterical, informative, and well put together videos that are always better than the last, and setting a new bar each time. Incredible work! Vote For Grohl

I can see a producer like Gil Norton being an absolute NIGHTMARE for William Goldsmith to work with. If you’re a self-taught drummer like William was (and not someone playing to click tracks just comes naturally to, like it did to Dave Grohl), it would be really, really difficult to do a take he’d like. That said, I would really love to hear William’s “final” studio takes for songs like Monkey Wrench and My Hero. Unfortunately most have been lost to the sands of time - all that remains are really rough cut demos, which are not remotely demonstrative of what level he was eventually pushed to in the studio. What a bummer.

Goddamn Marc, you're releasing nothing but bangers, keep up the fantastic work.

Awesome video dude. I have so much respect for dave. Never would've guessed that album title was a "meaningless" quote, it just comes off deeper than that lol

Grohl embodies the truth that everything works out in the end for the best. It's extremely hard, to damn near impossible to believe, but if we don't believe that, there is literally no reason to keep waking up and doing things. I'd rather keep waking up and doing things because sometimes you do really cool and amazing things. An extreme over-simplification, but what if Grohl gave in to every set back? We'd have no Everlong, My Hero, and a million other amazing songs. He isn't purely an optimist, but his story is one of perseverance because giving up is so much fucking worse. God bless Dave Grohl.

This is a wonderfully made video with great pacing and editing

My favorite comment gets pinned in one week!

You know it's a good day when there's a new marcbutevil video

weezer and foo fighters are my literally two my favorite bands. this is a dream channel for me. thank you!!!

Awesome video dude! I love your style. Good luck for the future

Bro this UKposts channel is honestly the best. All these foo fighters videos are so well made and narrated and edited. I hope he covers every album

The day will come in which Grohl is regraded with the best... Lennon, McCartney, Elvis, Freddy, Bowie - etc. It's not happening in this generation of boomers listening to rock, because they are always looking back in the mirror. It will happen with the next generation... which is fine by me... that is exactly how that list of legends were coronated. So I say be wise, and go see Dave perform live. It may not change your life, but I guarantee you will remember that show.

it's stories like these that make me not shoot myself

As a Brit, I never took notice of the choice to use the British spelling of colour, until now. Thanks Marc!

dude I love your videos and every time I see you in my notifications my face lights up. Good shit

The best Foo Fighters album easily IMO

Marc I hate that I'm 2 days late to this video because the youtube algorithm has failed me once again, but I'd just like to say awesome video as always!!! I look forward to every new upload from you and they never disappoint. Vote 4 Grohl!!

a channel that covers the foo fighters and weezer topics. What else could i possibly want?

Dawg, never seen any if your videos but i live your personality. Fuck yeah. New content creator to binge

Always quality videos on this channel.

the most underrated music essayist on UKposts strikes again with an amazing video

i love the turning a sphere inside out video being used as background. i was wondering why but i just realized the album cover is a bunch of spheres so it makes perfect sense

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO MARC I LOVE YOU❤ (no homo) All the nirvana and tally hall and Weezer videos always make me feel better

Brilliant stuff , really enjoyed the video !

I love the topography videos in the background

Love the channel Marc

yo this is a dope video but shout out to the absolute banger thumbnail as well

Colour and Shape is in my top probably 5, maybe 3, albums of all time. I love it so much, every song. And "Everlong" might be my favorite song of all time. I remember watching their performance on top of (I think) Radio City Music Hall back in 97, and Pat announcing he was leaving afterwards. Man their videos played on MTV fricking constantly in 97.

finally a channel with concise and interesting essays

wake up it's a marcbutevil upload!!!

The fact that you used some of Home's music in the background is an absolute W. Such an underrated musician.

Great deep dive into the album! One small thing: Taylor never played on Jagged Little Pill, he just toured in Alanis' band in support of it

This was good. But I’m surprised there was no mention of Louise Post or Nate basically quitting to go back to Sunny Day Real Estate during TCATS. Granted this video essay would have then probably dwarfed to a mini documentary. But still, those are two fairly big things to omit (especially if the idea of the essay was to explain how difficult things were during TCATS recording/era)

i think a video on but here we are would be amazing when more info comes out

Dude I was so happy when I saw your upload

You're one of few great content creators I watch.

Walking after you is my favorite foo fighters song.

sped up "outside in" backround footage really awesome

dave really said “whats with these homies”

lets go we doing foo's discography!!!

YEAH HES DOING THE FOO FIGHTERS DISCOGRAPHY TOO

You know its a good video when outside in is in the background lmao

I remember watching this doco like 12 years ago where Dave was so emotional about how that all played out. He was immensely ashamed. Like he said there was nothing wrong with the drumming, he was just a perfectionist.

I LOVE FOO FIGHTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Great video Marcbutevil In all bands there is a song that stands out from the rest of their compositions. To be honest, it's not because they are exactly the 'best' songs. I think it is a subjective and debatable matter, but these songs have something; which makes them the band's hallmark. In the case of Foo Fighters, I could safely say that “Everlong” includes those characteristics.

Me and my bro loved "there goes my hero" ironically my brother died in a house fire. That song wouldn't stop playing in my head at his funeral, and means alot to me.

Vote for Grohl

Your sense of humour is just amazing, I laughed out loud

Amazing stuff. Just subscribed!

my favorite foo album is their first one. i believe its self titled. the one with the pistol on the album cover. the colour and the shape is probably second though.

The inside out sphere video is the last thing I expected to see on this video

It would be awesome if you did there is nothing left to lose next!!

This video has been staring me down all day

i remember hearing everlong when i was young and thinking that song is good but it never stuck with me. Then about 8 years ago i heard it and it was like hearing it for the first time again and i loved that song and still do

I always wandered what Frank and Kim's deal was. The dissonance between Francis' vocals and Deal's greogorian chant bass beat was harmonic duality at its finest. I used to think Frank the Black Catholic was the music theorists who understood Riemann and Pythagoras mathematics were musical in nature, too!

I met William and had a chat with him outside sdre’s tour bus in 98. I was 18-19 and was drumming for a band that took a lot of inspiration from jawbox, sdre, braid, etc… we(my band)drove 3 hours in the guitar players moms conversion van we used for out of town stuff. We were close. I was unceremoniously let go and replaced. That bands first record, all the songs I wrote with these guys, my drum parts are played with this new drummer. It’s hard to listen to for me, some bastardized version of the songs I helped write. I’m playing a show with my new band a few years later and the bass player(whom I had been friends with since middle school) of the old band gave me the raw recording of their new record. It was great. On the first album the new drummer was constrained and the second was part of the songwriting and honestly fit much better. So, I’m playing in this band and we have a set list that we run through to start a practice. Then we take 30 to be friends or discuss new song ideas or socialize with the other bands in our practice space, there were 6 practice spaces and two of them eventually got taken over by a startup recording studio which we everyone else in the space recorded with even though they charged them and said would do it for free for us…. In hindsight we should have done it, but I digress. Anyway, I’m in this band started by me and the guitarist and we have strong jazz roots but his favorite guitar player is from Nile and my favorite drummer is from smashing pumpkins…how do you make this work… well it’s easy… you bring in the drummers best friend, his brother, and also a Metallica sycophant. It really boggles my mind that band, not my most successful but the best musically imo, came from a band I was in, in high school, with me playing drums, my brother playing bass, and our rhythm guitarist finding the confidence to play the music he wanted to play… this is super complicated. We’re playing one persons music, there’s 4 people in the band. We all want different things, me personally, I just want to play music I like(quicksand hum helmet) and I’ve never played drums in a band like that so I just start writing songs like that and my brother, an accomplished guitarist, joins me in hashing out some ideas. Then our guitar player joins on bass.. drummer writes guitar, bass player embellishes on guitar, guitar player(who started as bass player) comes into fill out the soundscape. Simple songs that harken back to my roots. We got a drummer from another band that just happened to be the technically proficient we’d ever known, 20 years later now and still. I, being a drummer playing music I wanted to play drums to, had to write out the drums for the drummer to fit my songs the way I wanted. When I recorded my album for that band, I played guitar and drums. Point being I understand Williams frustration but I also understand Dave’s. Sometimes things are right and everyone gels and sometimes it doesn’t and you have to cut what doesn’t…

Aaron Paulsen at 10:56 killed me 🤣

Also to note Nate Mendel almost quit the band just after Pat Smear announced his departure. In part; Nate felt bad about William getting fired and wanted to reform Sunny Day Real Estate. Nate even told Dave he was going to quit. Luckily, Nate slept on the idea and decided to ultimately stay with the band. (This story is mentioned in the Back and Fourth doc on the Foo’s.)

Dave Grohl for President. 27 years and still holding the torch for rock and roll. Can’t wait to see them live next week.

The Aaron Paulsen cameo was amazing

weird how "we chose this for a stupid reason" ends up working so many times. The color and shape can work great for thinking about concepts and emotions and things like that, and not in any stretch of a way either. "The color and shape of our relationship" is what I thought it always meant, as that works, imo, best for the album and its strongest songs. But hey, Radiohead accidently made a concept album (Ok Comp), so a deep album title can also be an accident.

Voht for Grole! Thanks for the rewards and effort, MarcButNightcrawler #mutantgang #fyp #remember_the_poundsign

new sub here! You had me at the 90s!

Gotta love the @AaronPaulsen feature in the video 😂

the colour and the shape is pretty cool.. but can you talk about pinkerton 200 more times

Great piece of work kinda epitomizes the 90's/The Foos and etc

My favorite dude... dave grohl!!!!

I wasn't expecting to hear Gran Turismo 4 music in the background

Vote 4 grohl!!!

WHAT??? I DIDNT KNOW GOLDSMITH FROM SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE WAS IN FOO FIGHTERS

Dave’s the nice guy of rock and roll that’s why he has the best heart break lyrics.

Aron Paulsen mentioned. I'm thrilled

i love the video but credit huggbees for that video in the background (turning a sphere inside out)

Gotta love the brief Aaron Paulsen cameo at 10:57

In Nirvana it was apparent that Dave was, indeed, "da man" behind the kit. Top ten if not in medal position. If Phil Collins or Don Henley would have made it "awesome", he woulda sang lead from back there. It just isn't feasible to exteact the amount of coolness a lead singer needs to have.

Good Video!!

Love the video. Great info. The story of the list he had made while sleeping in a sleeping bag. Yea that’s deep in the downs.

Walking After You is my favorite FF song, especially the X-Files mix. Love it!

That last quote hits different since we've lost Taylor. 😕

I loved the first British voice attempt 😂 AWESOME VIDEOS MAN❤ VOTE FOR GROHL 2024🤘❤

where is the quote at the end from?

My brother gifted me the first Foo Fighters album for Christmas ‘95, and I liked it more than I liked Nirvana to be honest. The second-album was even better, and both records are still stand-by listens for me.

0:14 Decay by Home on a Foo Fighters album video? Awesomely unexpected

Vote 4 Grohl!! I'm in a tough spot rn, but hearing Dave's story encouraged me to keep pushing forward. i rly appreciate this video.

Gote for Vrohl. Was never a big fan of the Foo Fighters, just not my cup of auditory tea. I have nothing but the utmost respect for and admiration for Dave Grohl though. That man is a walking, talking, singing, drumming, rocking testament to the power of the human spirit. I hear he is super nice too.

HOLY SHIT I NEVER NOTICED "COLOUR" HAD A "U" BEFORE I AM CANADIAN AND SO IT JUST SEEMED RIGHT

You gotta love Dave Grohl

hey! very enjoyable video. do you know what performance it is at 11:29? thanks!

Can't believe three of my favorite artists Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Alanis Morissette have something in common

NEW VIDEOOOOOO
