you sure that was Kemper? he did that at sprint center a couple years ago. matter of fact I was on the floor and when they came to the little rear stage I walked right up to him and got some great pics on shitty cell phone. (attached below)

some interesting comments in here. I think Foo is one of the greats. I've often wondered what Grohls life would be if dumbass Kurt hadn't killed himself. would he ever have realized his potential? would he still be behind the drumset?

I've wondered how nervous drummers must have been to audition for Grohl! like....damn..... be like auditioning to play guitar in Stevie Rays band! hahaha!

today's Foo isn't yesterdays Foo. some like the newer stuff....some don't. I appreciate it all....I'm a huge fan.....but my heart lies in the older stuff. but to say they suck.....wow.....I just don't get it.

country isn't my thing. but there IS some good country out there (even though it's really rock n roll nowadays) I appreciate good music....even if it's not my bag. so to throw a blanket statement out there that Foo sucks.....wow. WHICH FOO? old Foo? new Foo? oh no....ALL FOO! just dumb.

lastly.....Not Enough Space is possibly my fav Foo song. how in the HELL can he scream like that night after night? and that bitch sounds GOOOOOD live! ain't no lip syncing bullshit. Foo is badass. Grohl kicks ass.

Yep. I was a big Bob Seger fan in the 70s and a lot of his stuff could pass for country today. The Eagles and 38 Special are even better examples.

Overrated commercial radio garbage. I guess the masses will always listen to what the man puts in your ears. Many should step outside the box of commercial radio.... Few have the will to unfortunately.
"We don't know why we even try to say the things we say cuz in reality nobody hears it anyway, the music starts and they just talk no matter what the words, scream and cheer and spill your beer just like the f***ing herd."..... And then my sig...

[htismaqe]

Wait.

Are you suggesting Foo Fighters is overrated commercial radio garbage?

The guy that ****ing drinks beer with Lemmy at the Rainbow and drums in Tenacious D is "commercial radio garbage"?

[Coochie liquor]

If it sounds like it, and looks like it.... So yep that's what I'm calling Foo fighters. Just cuz you hang out with Lemmy or whatever doesn't change them. To me they're the same as most other bands they play on the radio. Sing, scream, sing repeat. Just my opinion but I couldn't care less about them. Not that my opinion matters! Seems most here are all about mainstream music!

I'm not saying Dave Grohl isn't a good guy. Just that the music he makes is commercial radio rock. Foo Fighters, nickel back, breaking Benjamin, three days grace. Pop evil. Etc, etc. plenty of good non mainstream stuff out there but you gotta look for it.
Tsunami Rising, Pasadena, Doco, Katastro. SOOO many more!

Um, no.

Not only no but **** no.

Foo Fighters is nothing like those other 3 bands. At all.

Wow.

I tend to agree with you some what. I haven't dug any of the F.F music since the 90s. Their songs have gotten way to ballady for me over the years. I know it's sacriligious to speak ill of saint Grohl but he puts out his share of garbage like everybody else.

The thing is, the guy is involved in dozens of musical projects. He doesn't need money so there's really no incentive for him to pander to airplay interests.

Don't you think it's possible that FF just happens to be the outlet where he gets to express those things? He certainly has plenty of other musical outlets so he doesn't have to (or want to) put all of his creative juice into just Foo Fighters.

You know, if people didn't have emotional relationships with ballads, they wouldn't sell the way they do. Maybe Grohl is actually just a normal human being like the rest of us.

Nobodies saying Daves not a great guy. He definitely seems very humbled and greatful for the opportunities he's been given. I just think F.F have been putting out some underwhelming music for quite some time. People can have an emotional connection with ballads all they want, learning to walk again will still be an overplayed shitty song.

You sound clueless, Wasting Light is an excellent album recorded entirely on analog tape and in DGs garage.

Do yourself a favor and drop the pretentious act judging others musical tastes.

If you hate the ffs why click on a thread about foo?

You're right, how dare I have an opinion about FF that you don't agree with. Maybe if you can't stand people with differing opinions on music than you, YOU shouldn't be on a message board. I'm not judging your musical taste by saying I don't like them and that they sound like other radio garbage. And how dare I talk bad about Dave God er Grohl. I don't care how the cd was recorded. I don't care for their music. My taste, my opinion. If there was a thread called "reasons the Broncos are great" on here you might click it even though you don't like the Broncos. So settle down Hitler people can have other views than just yours......
