I ran across the video for the Foo Fighter's Monkey Wrench recently and thought it would be fun to share as I hadn't seen it in awhile and probably neither have you.  I dedicate this post to Candor, who the first time he heard the song on the radio, got so excited trying to turn his car stereo up that he got into an accident.  Thankfully no one was hurt and if he or I ever get to meet Dave Grohl, we can tell him the story.

In this video we meet who I like to call Beatnik Dave fronting the Bizarro Foo Fighters.  Some fun facts about the video:

1. This is the first of many Foo Figher videos that Dave Grohl directed himself.
2. The concept of the video reportedly came straight out of one of Dave Grohl's dreams (I learned this from reading The Dave Grohl Story).
3. Listen for the Muzak version of Big Me, another Foo song, in the elevator at the beginning of the video.
4. This is the first video with Taylor Hawkins on drums.  Dave actually re-recorded the drums over original drummer William Goldsmiths drum parts.  Goldsmith ended up quitting the band.

Enjoy it Dave Haters!
