About This Track

“

Times Like These”, and “

The Pretender” have gone Gold.

“Best of You” holds the band’s highest chart peaks in America (#18), the UK (#4), and Australia (#5). Although it sold the most singles, two songs by the band have gotten more airplay, “The Pretender”, and “

All My Life”. “

Long Road To Ruin” has gotten the same amount of airplay.

The album version was one of 5 Grammy nominations the Foo Fighters received in 2005, for Best Rock Song, but it eventually lost to “

City Of Blinding Lights” by U2.

An acoustic live version of this song is available on both the 2006 CD and DVD [album]Skin and Bones[/album]. It is performed solo by vocalist/guitarist Dave Grohl.

“Best of You” gave Foo Fighters their highest ever entry on the Australian rock radio station Triple J’s Hottest 100 at #4.

Its music video was directed by Mark Pellington, best known for his work on the video for “

Jeremy” by Pearl Jam. He was inspired by the death of his wife a few months prior to the shoot, and was drawn to the song’s notion of dealing with pain in life.

The video features the band playing on top of a tower. Along with the band’s scenes are some random clips that show pain, depression, or anger:
* Clips with children playing alone or with each other, one scene shows one girl hugging another.
* A car crash
* A lion pouncing on its prey, which is a vulture
* A snake attacks a rodent
* A zebra kicks another zebra behind itself
* A snarling wolf
