Retro Video of the Week: "Monkey Wrench" by Foo Fighters

In just about exactly 24 hours, I'll be seeing Foo Fighters at Riot Fest.  It's the first time they've played Chicago since Taylor Hawkins died, and also the first time I will have seen them since he died.  Things may get a little misty down in Douglass Park.

In honor of this holy occasion, this week's Retro Video of the Week is "Monkey Wrench," off of the band's fantastic sophomore album, 1997's The Colour and The Shape.  This might be my favorite Foo Fighters song, and the video was the first to feature Hawkins (even though Dave Grohl played the drums on the track itself, as it was recorded before Hawkins joined the band).
