The song reached number one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart, reflecting its broad radio appeal. Its driving riffs and layered guitar work make it a rewarding study piece for electric guitarists looking to explore modern rock rhythm and tone.

  • Released on August 23, 2017, it was the second single from Foo Fighters' ninth studio album, Concrete and Gold.
  • The track peaked at number one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart as of November 2017.

The Les Paul Custom's thick body and potent humbuckers deliver the compressed midrange and sustain essential to Foo Fighters' heavy, saturated crunch when paired with cranked Mesa/Boogie and Marshall amps.

Dave Grohl's signature DG-335 semi-hollow body produces warm, chimey overdrive on cleaner parts and thick midrange on heavy sections, becoming the sonic foundation of Foo Fighters' studio and live sound.

Grohl's white 1980s Explorer delivers aggressive humbucker tones and extended upper range, providing the raw power and cutting presence needed for the band's louder, more distorted passages.

The JCM800's legendary crunch and natural tube saturation perfectly complements Foo Fighters' philosophy of tone-first guitar-and-amp combinations, delivering the heavy, responsive drive heard throughout their discography.
