the only thing i'll never ask of you.


i will say this.
i have not heard a version of everlong i did not like.
it's just too good of a song.

that being said, i'm glad that the foo fighters seem to have gone back to playing it with the rock instruments rather than the acoustic.
i'm also very very glad that dave grohl has officially accepted that everyone who sings along with everlong sings the "doot doot doo doo doo doo doot doo doo doo doot doot doo doo" after the first verse and sings it after he plays it.

that being said, when i saw the foo's in glendale last year, i was a little upset when Best of You was the last song they played. because for years i believed that everlong had to be their ender. dave proclaims it in the "Anywhere but Home" DVD, they put out after "One by One" "now, we'll play everlong, but everlong is typically the last song we play" so i had a really hard time believing it not to be. But, Recently, with christmas spending money, i invested in the "Live At Wembley" DVD, which was recorded 5 years after AbH. dave explains the emotion behind Best of You, and then you see it. when, soaked in rain dave stands before the crowd with the fireworks behind him with tears in his eyes. and suddenly. i got it.
