10 Best Hard Rock Music Videos Of The 2010s
8. Walk – Foo Fighters (2011)
Foo Fighters are at their best when they're making silly music videos. Learn To Fly, Low, Breakout, all of those earlier ventures into this medium made you feel like they were a band full of regular guys, who weren't afraid of having a laugh.
And Walk was no different. Parodying the Michael Douglas classic Falling Down was a great opportunity for Dave Grohl to show of his acting chops. For anyone not familiar with the original movie, Falling Down tells the story of an average guy who finally breaks beneath the frustrating tedium of day to day life. He then goes on a merry romp around LA causing all kinds of mayhem.
Dave Grohl just has one of those faces that makes everything he does entertaining. He's a master of comic timing. Before the track even kicks off, we get Grohl at his most amusing. Stuck in traffic, you see him slowly sink further and further into despair at the mundane nature of his existence.
There's even a cheeky dig at Coldplay, which alone makes this one of the best music videos of the decade.
