<P> A music video for the song was released on the same day . The video features the band performing the song in a nursing home ( abandoned St Luke 's Hospital in Pasadena , CA ) , in make - up making them appear as elderly versions of themselves , and end up inciting a riot amongst other patients and orderlies . Multiple outlets , including Billboard and People magazines , felt the music video was an homage to One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest , while Team Rock noted its additional similarity to the film Cocoon . The video ends with a brief choreographed dance routine , noted by Variety and ABC News as being similar to the routine done in Michael Jackson 's video for the song `` Thriller '' . The video was directed by band frontman Dave Grohl . The old age makeups were designed by Tony Gardner , and created by Alterian , Inc . The video was inspired by drummer Taylor Hawkins lamenting having to do promotional work for the song and album cycle while the band was beginning to look older ; when Grohl told him that `` it does n't really matter '' , Hawkins proposed taking it in the opposite direction , and purposefully making themselves look older , inspiring Grohl to write up a treatment for the video . </P>
