It's pretty good, some guy made a comment below the video which says that it sounds like Tom Petty's "Learning to Fly," which I agree with. Due to the similar subject matter in the titles, maybe it's an homage.

    Ah, sorry. :lol:

    I guess I can't change that now, eh? Oh well.

    Edit: Oh, okay! I can change it!

    It's pretty good. Doesn't sound like "Learning to fly" to me.

    It does sound like something familiar, not sure what it is yet.

    Ehhh not too crazy about it (definitely not among their best work), but at least it's just a throwaway track for the Greastest Hits in.

    ah the Foo's .... everything they've released since Colour and the Shape has been mediocre at best.
    Jam out with your clam out.

    The link above is gone, but here's one (not sure how long it will last):

    That groove during the verse does remind me of "Learning to Fly"

    Like most things that the Foos put out, not bad... not great, but decent enough to listen to.

    What the hell are you talking about? Have you ever listened to There Is Nothing Left to Lose (great album right up there with TCATS) or what about Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace which has some of their best work since TCATS and TINLTL? Stacked Actors, Gimme Stitches, Next Year, Headwires, Generator, Have It All, Tired of You, Razor, Come Alive, Stranger Things Have Happened, Let It DIe and many others are from mediocre.

    I'm a huge Foo fan but this song is just boring and unoriginal. If this was put out by any of the numerous other shitty generic rock bands out there today, everyone would hate it.

    Yes.
    LIKE PLAYING THE GODDAMN DRUMS!!!

    He needs to quit floundering around with The Foo Fighters and do something worthwhile.

    Thank Baby Jebus he's got this Josh Homme and John Paul Jones project to get him back on track.

    I agree about There is Nothing Left To Lose, this one still sounds relevent, even moreso than Colour. Nothing mediocre about that album.

    However, after that album, it got real boring. One by One I rank up there with some of the colossal failures of alt rock. Secret Samadhi bad. It's a shame because the album has two really good tracks (All My Life and Times Like These) that are just buried amongst a bunch of throwaways. Maybe "Low" you can add to the good pile. But Halo,Lonely as You, Overdrive and everything else are utterly boring mid-tempo songs with no noteworthy melody in the bunch. And for some reason that is what Dave decided to attach himself to going forward. Road to Ruin sounded Nickelback-ish

    If Pearl Jam is like Led Zeppelin then the Foo Fighters are like Journey.
