Foo Fighters is one of the most successful rock bands of all time, with the group set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 2021. With former Nirvana drummer, Dave Grohl as the lead singer, the group has plenty of star power and with over 12 million record sales in the US alone, they have managed to become a huge part of music history.
While their music is loud and at times heavy, they are also very entertaining and funny. That's something that shines through in a lot of their music videos, which often have a lot of comedy involved. But out of their biggest hits, which is the band's most popular video on YouTube?
My Hero (47 Million Views)
"My Hero" is one of Foo Fighters' most popular songs, therefore it's no surprise that it has gained almost 50 million views on YouTube. The video is quite an emotional one, which suits the tone of the song overall, and while Dave Grohl can be seen singing, it also cuts with some clips of a story as well.
It focuses on a man running into a burning building as he attempts to save different people inside, from a young baby to a dog. It showcases him as a true hero, which perfectly lines up with the lyrics of the song.
Run (55 Million Views)
"Run" is one of the newest songs by Foo Fighters, and it is an incredible rock track that builds up steadily as it goes on, with the chorus being a highlight. To go along with it, the band put together an amazing video that saw them all dress up as elderly versions of themselves.
It sees the band rocking along as they play the song in a nursing home, with the visual of them as older people being a lot of fun. It tells a good story throughout, with things going from being calm and placid in the nursing home it all picks up.
These Days (55 Million Views)
This song came from Foo Fighters' seventh album and was another fantastic one. Unlike some of the band's other major tracks, this one is a little calmer and is all about great times and one specific day holding a place in the memory of people.
The video isn't as detailed as some others, with it not focusing on the band portraying different characters. Instead, it follows them on tour in different places around the world as they perform in front of their fans, showing how fun a live Foo Fighters concert can be.
Times Like These (58 Million Views)
Another of Foo Fighters' videos that put a focus on the band simply playing their music comes from "Times Like These." It's a great video that sees the band playing the song at their very best, doing it underneath a huge bridge out in the middle of nowhere.
To add to the atmosphere, different items get dropped from the bridge, which ultimately sees a house sent down as well, adding to the carnage of the situation which connects nicely with the song itself.
The Sky Is A Neighborhood (64 Million Views)
Speaking of a music video inside of a house, "The Sky Is A Neighborhood" also focuses on that and actually involves Dave Grohl's daughters. The video has them playing with different toys inside of a cabin, and that then zooms out to see Foo Fighters themselves playing on the roof.
The band plays on top and even has them looking different as their eyes glow like stars on top. It's a unique video and one that has a cool vibe, which is one of the reasons that it became so popular.
All My Life (86 Million Views)
"All My Life" is another well-known Foo Fighters song. The video is one that focuses on them playing music again, with this seeing the band in front of a big screen performing the song.
It's something that is simple, but it actually works perfectly for this song. The idea behind it was to showcase what seeing them perform is like, with this video having tons of energy and excitement.
Learn To Fly (141 Million Views)
Foo Fighters love to place elements of comedy into some of their music videos, and that is exactly what "Learn To Fly" provides. This is arguably the funniest video the band has ever created, with the members of the group playing different characters on a plane.
From portraying different passengers to being the crew itself, the video is absolutely hilarious and will leave viewers laughing along as they sing along with the tune. Plus, there's a fun cameo from Jack Black which fans will love.
Everlong (201 Million Views)
"Everlong" is a huge song for Foo Fighters, which is why it isn't surprising that it has racked up so many views on YouTube. This is a number that the band typically saves till the end for live performances, simply because of the fan anticipation.
When it comes to the video, this is another comedic one, which can be seen from Dave Grohl's hilarious hairstyle for the shoot. There are a lot of funny moments in this wild but enjoyable video.
Best Of You (291 Million Views)
With almost 300 million views on YouTube, this is one of Foo Fighters' most popular songs, with this being an iconic rock song that fans absolutely love. The video places a big focus on the band simply singing and performing the song, with Dave Grohl bringing a lot of passion to this performance.
However, there are also scenes spliced in of people in pain and suffering, making this quite a serious video. Despite that, the vibe suits the song well and there's a real raw rock and roll feel about this one.
The Pretender (466 Million Views)
Out of all of Foo Fighters' biggest songs, "The Pretender" is by far the most popular in terms of YouTube views. The video has brought in an incredible number of views in what is a huge video that really pushes the loudness and excitement of the song itself.
The video sees the band playing in front of some riot police, but as they try to come and stop them, a huge screen behind them implodes. This leads to the band and the police being covered in red paint in a moment that creates an amazing visual.
