It was an observation of Kurt and Krist and I."Īsked if he ever played the song to Kurt, he simply responded: "No. But he had a four-track so I wrote songs: Marigold and Friend Of A Friend. "Olympia, Washington, is fucking depressing enough and I was living with this person that I didn't know. I would stay up till the sun came up and sleep all day. I had a drum set packed in one box and flew up there. When quizzed about the track, Grohl told Q Magazine: "I'd just moved in with Kurt.
The song was first recorded in secret in 1990, before being released on Grohl's Pocketwatch cassette album under his Late! psuedonym two years later.ĭespite being recorded again for a BBC Evening session in 1997, it wasn't until the release of In Your Honour where it was revisited for the acoustic disc of the LP that Grohl was forced to open up about its origins.ĭave Grohl performing with Foo Fighters at Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium, 1995. View some of the haunting lyrics to Friend of a Friend below: Kurt Cobain recording in the Netherlands, November 1991. It also hints at Kurt's early drinking habit, with the lines: "He thinks he drinks too much/'Cause when he tells his two best friends/'I think I drink too much'/No-one speaks". Sorry for the rubberneckin on the first one.The song captures the act of Grohl finding Cobain's guitar, with the lyrics: "He plays an old guitar/With a coin found by the phone/It was his friends guitar/That he played".
He could start collaboratin some more if hes got tha time for it. The second half? Needs to be worked on sum more otherwise good cuts and bad cuts.
Cant get enough of the title cut No Way Back Best of You sigh DOA The Last Song Free Me a fav and The Deepest Blues are Black. I mean I listened to the very beginning of the collection compared to this? Sound qualitys a lot better on this one than back in the year 1995 that alternative music broke my teenage heart! First half of the disc is good than the second disc. Cd2 is filled with great tracks - "Virginia Moon" to name 1. The frequency of this album is outstanding, stand out tracks such as "best of you", " no way back", "DOA". This is the best, the bost of the Foo Fighters yet!! These boys can really make good songs, this album has one one of their best songs! Great! Awesome! and all the words which mean the same! I just cant stop listening to the 2nd cd, which is just acousticly outstanding! This album is by far my favourite of all time, it has been a huge success all over the world. When I first bought this album, I wasnt aware that it was going to change my view on the foo fighters forever. This is all topped off by Daves deep, deep lyrics. Friend of a Friend reminds me of Nirvanas acoustic efforts. This guy is amazing, songs like Over And Out, Miracle & On The Mend would have to be some of the best acoustic music I have ever heard. CD#1 is great and typical of what we expect from the Foo Fighters, no let downs there, but some of the songs on CD#2 have changed my opinion of Dave forever. On The Mend Guitar chords by Foo Fighters: Rated 1.5/5 by 2 users. When I first got this CD set I gave CD#2 a quick listen and wondered why they even bothered.a few weeks on and CD#2 is all I listen to.
